 Surrender Terms
 President Truman, in his VIE Day broadcast, did promise that "uncon- ditional surrender" did not mean the enslavement or extermination of the Japanese people. But fun damentally, there never has been any hint as to our attitude on sev- eral major points:
 1. Will we allow the emperor to remain in his role of Imperial Son of Heaven of Great Japan" as spir- itual and temporal ruler of his land, or will we depose and probably de- port him to wreck the 2,000 year ruling tradition of his house?
 2. Will we undertake to rule Japan or will we let her continue as an independent nation, seeking only to encourage her to adopt our pacific policies and become a useful member of the family of nations?
 3. Will we force Japan to repatri- ate to the home islands the more than N.000,000 Japanese nationals who are now squatters over half the world, and if we do, how are we going to keep 80 million people alive in a group of islands which, by it. self, can feed barely one in foIlr of that number?
 We have a basis of comparison of the peace Japan would have im- posed upon us in the event of a Jap victory. On May 21, 1914, Domei published that peace plan as drawn up by two Japanese experts, Rear Admiral Tanetsugu and Yasei Nish- iya. It calls for complete destruc- tlon Of Americal naval power and maritime trade, abolition of private banking institutions and trade un- ions and the eventual establishment Of political authority in this country subServient to Japan. Plus. naturally, vast war damages"
 II we are to take the terms i'm posed upon Germany after "uncon- d1tional surrender" as a basis. then 1t might be possible to define in six main terms the conditions un- der which peace might return to Japan after her similar "uncondi- tional surrender:
 More Terms
 ]. Complete and immediate de- mobilization and demilitarization: Japan to hand over all warships, all war materials and arms:
 2. Japan to withdraw from every inch of occupied territory which she conquered in her wars of ag- gression or simply seized; in ac- cordance with the Cairo declaration this is to include not only the islands confiscated under League of Na- tionS mandates, but also all of Manchuria, Korea, Formosa and the Pescadores;
 3. Japan to repatriate all her na- tionals, military as well as civilians, now abandoned in the backwash of war all over the Pacific.
 4. Those responsible for this and other wars of aggression to be des- ignated and tried as war criminals, ana wherever necessary Japan to pay reparations to satisfy interna- tional justice;
 5. Japanese industry to be given into the control of the United Na- tions; all armament factories to be scrapped,, and those destroyed not tc be rebuilt. All other industry, as well as shipping and nines, to remain under severe regulations of the conquering powers;
 6. The Japanese legal authority to be deposed, to it's lowest degree, and the whole of Japan to come ,lrl- der Allied military occupation for as long as the conquering powers may deem necessary to obtain the national moral and political renova- ton which will do away forever with the traditional and almost re- lgious belief in a necessity for world dominatoin under plan of aggression and conquest as set up by the now infamous Tanaka Me- morial of 1927. =
 Those are the exact terms we ap- piled to Germany, merely converted tc fit the particular aggressions against society and civilization of which we hold Japan guilty.
