A committee of business leaders
proposed today that the United

tions If necessary to clear postwar

The Committee for Economic De-

statement to the Senate Finance

approved by the House.
William Benton, vice chairman Of

Of the CED Research Committee.
Senator johnson, Democrat, Of
Colorado has suggested cancellation
of World War debts and Assistant
Secretary of State Clayton has told
the committee that the $10,000,0 ,000.-
900 defaulted from that war never
will be collected.
The CED recommended repeal of
the act of 1884, which bans private
loans to defaulting nations.
The CED said, IF the cancella-
ton Of any Of these obligations
debts and lease-lend is the most
effective method of settlement, they
should be Cancelled"
Lease-lend goods not used up
should be used to help reconstruct

equal to the rate of 1943, and more
than nine-tenths the rate during the

With these production objectives

War production remains the para

These then are our plans for
bringing about the unconditional
surrender of Japan. If the Japa-
nese insist on continuing resistance
beyond the point of reason, their
country will suffer the same de-
struction as Germany Our blows
will destroy their whole modern in
dustrial plant and organization,
which they have built up during the
past century and which they are
now devoting to hopeless cause.
We have no desire or intention to
destroy or enslave the japanese

have seen come to Germany as a
result OF continued, useless resist
ance.

We are faced with a powerful Jap

they are the same Japanese who
ordered the death march from Ba-
taan; they are the same japanese
who carried out the barbarous mas
sacres in Manila.
They now know that their dreams
Of conquest are shattered. They
no longer boast of debating peace
terms in Washington.
This does not mean, however
that the japanese have given up
hope. They are depending on Amer
lea firing of this war-becoming
weary of the sacrifices it demands.
They hope that our desire to see
our soldiers and sailors home again
and the temptation to return to the
comforts and profits of peace will
force us to settle for some COM
prmise short of unconditional sur
render.
They should know better.

Navy Needs More Ships.
Up to now, he said. the Pacific
campaign has involved all the sur
face, air, amphibious and subma-
rine aspect of naval warfare, while
antisubmarine operations have
played only subordinate role.
Now, he said, "all of our escort YES
sells have been or will be sent to
the Pacific except for a very few
to be retained in the Atlantic for
training purpose, or to meet any
remotely possible emergency"
Reciting the successes that thus
far have accompanied the warfare
in the Pacific, the President said
that large part of this is due to
carrier-based airpower.
In carrying out its future tasks,
Mr.. Truman continued, the Navy
will not only need the ships it now
has, but more.
There cannot be even a partial
naval rehabilitation until the Jap
anese are defeated" he said.
The President pointed to the tre-
mendous blows that the air force
had loosed against the Germans
and said that "our Army planes
and our Navy ships and planes are
now driving Japan out of the air
and when our strategic air force
reaches the Pacific in full might it
will demolish the enemy's resources
of production"
The President said our air raids
on Japan are mounting in size and
intensity and that the incendiary
raids being directed against big
centers will be continued.
What has already happened to
Tokyo will happen to every japanese
city whose industries feed the jap
anese war machine" he warned. 81
urge Japanese civilians to leave
those cities If they wish to save

Campaigns Have Depended
On Long Communications.
All Of our campaigns in Europe
and in the Pacific have depended on
long lines of communications and
upon quantities of supply unheard
of in prior warfare. One of the
marvels of Allied achievements has
been the organization, guarding and
operation of these world -girdling
supply lines.
For this we have to thank man
agement and labor in our war in
dustries, our farmers and miners
and other Americans-who produced
the equipment and supplies for our
selves and our Allies; the gallant
members of our Merchant Marine
who transported them overseas un-
der the guns of our Navy, and the
men of our Army Service Forces
upon whose work in clearing ports,
rushing up supplies and construct
ing roads. railroads, bridges, high
ways and gasoline pipe lines, the
fate of battle often depended.
There are also included in our ex-
perience in this war miracles of
saving human life as well as miracles
of destruction Of the enemy. Since

and in Africa, we have lost about
