Loudon Likens
Jap Surrender
To Reich in I78

DIR. A. Loudon, Netherlands. Am
bassador, said today Japan appears
to be attempting ito follow the
book" of the German surrender in
1918 with the aim of preparing for
another war.
Remarking that the Japanese
could not invent anything, but ap-
parently had to follow some previous
pattern in all their actions, DR.
London said they presumably had
accepted the pattern of the 1918
German surrender as the best for
theh purposes now.
He said the apparent stalling in
surrender negotiations, appointment
of military leader as head of the
government and other "face-saving
activities by the japanese fit into
this pattern which undoubtedly in
volyed plans for building up an un-
derground organization with the
hope OF reviving Japanese world
power later.
The Ambassador, who expressed
these views as his personal opinion
and emphasized that he was not an
expert on the Far East, talked with
reporters after calling on Secretary
OF State Byrnes preliminary to a
brief visit to the Netherlands. He
said he expected to leave next week
and to remain in the Netherlands
only about 10 days.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 90
Domei news agency today broadcast
a defiant proclamation of the "su-

Army in Singapore. 1t accepted
the Emperor's surrender decision
but asserted the Japanese armies in
the home islands and Asiatic main
land have an "unchallenged dignity
which remains supreme" and "are
prepared to crush" their foes.
The Domei dispatch, date-nned
Singapore and recorded by the FEC
as it was beamed in English to
Chungking, did not name the "su-
preme commander" Field Marshall
Count Juichi Terauchi, commander
of Japanese forces in the southern
regions, has made his headquarters
in Singapore
The proclamation denounced
American use of the atomic bomb
as most deadly and inhuman
weapon" and said that "as a result,
large numbers of innocent, old and
young. women and children were
mercilessly killed"
The likeness of the great catas-
trophe caused by the atomic bomb
has never before in history been wit
messed the proclamation re.
counted.
Such being the state of affairs to-
day" the boarcast continued, Japan
decided to accept the "joint procla-
nation" of the Allied powers and
negotiations now are under way
despite the fact that on the Nippon
mainland as we'll as in Manchuria,
China and various sectors of the
southern regions the unehallenged
dignity of the imperial Nippon army
remains supreme and is furthermore
fully prepared to crush the for

The proclamation went on to
promise adequate measures" by the
imperial army to protect the lives
and guarantee the safety of the
people and ensure the maintenance
OF law and order until other meas
ures are taken" Severe punish
ment was promised people who be
have rashly and disregard the law
and thus cause disorder thereby
disturbing the peace. :"
