Tokyo Radio Digs Up
Aesop's Fable for
Eosier-Peoce Plea
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 90
Tokyo radio dug up one of
Aesop's fables today to empha-
size plea for easier American
peace terms.
The broadcast, recorded by
the Federal Communications
Commission, said:
I'VE (AeSop) suggests two
methods in which a man might
surrender his possessions. The
wind said forcefully to the sun
that he could make a passerby
give up his overcoat quicker
than the sun. 1t began to blow
harder and harder, but the man
held his coat tighter and
tighter. The wind failed. The
sun took his part. He gently
smiled and warmed the passer-
by with his sunbeams. The
passerby shed his coat"

The new Interpretation. DR.. Seek

which 1t was said that the program
was designed to include wives who
failed to make application for them
selves and their infants before the
status OF their husbands changed
In the past. according to the Health
Department. the application for care

THE important matter is to gel

babies, not the fine points of when
the application was made" DR.
Seckinger said. Surely all can see
the justice Of taking care of a mans

discharged; indeed, in many in

might be replying to an American
broadcast made to Japan last Sat-
urday by Capt. E. C. ZachariaS, U. s
N, who told Japanese leaders they
had a faSt-fading choice of two op-
portunitieS at present:
/. Virtual destruction of Japan
followed by dictated peace.
g. Unconditional surrender with
It's attendant benefits as laid down
by the Atlantic Charter.
Two other factors may be In
volved:
There have been persistent re-
ports that the Big Three confer
ence in Potsdam has discussed and
reached agreement on Far Eastern
questions. The general assumption
is that the result bodies no good for
Japan and that Japan knows it.
Much interest also had been at
tached to a statement made in
Chungking by China's Premier T. v.

sonal conferences with Marshal
Stain in Moscow. DR.. Soong made
1t plain that he had made good
enough progress with the Russians
regarding mutual problems that he
was willing to be optimistic in public
and predict the war would end this

Tokyo Radio Suggests
Japan Would Accept
Easier Peace Terms
Ey the Associated Pres.


SAN FRANCISCO, July 26.-
Japan, backed against the ropes,
today spoke of quitting the war
as a definite possibility.
This is the central fact which
observers are able to pick out of the
Tokyo radios startling broadcast,
urging the United States to take
more lenient attitude toward
Japan regarding peace.
The appeal was carefully hedged
with qualifications, but it did give
the impression that Japan would
be definitely interested in peace If
only the unconditional surrender
formula could be softened.
The broadcast, heard by the Fed
eral Communications Commission,
came on the heels of the most dis
astrous two weeks the empire has
undergone.
The peace feeler said there really
are no problems" between a lib
eral America" and Japan, and
claimed that liberal America has
never given occasion for Japanese
militaristS to rise, but America now
talks Of unconditional surrender"
The implication is that America
is not now liberal" and that the
unconditional surrender formula is
an outgrowth of the lack of what the |
Japanese consider liberality.
In short, they american officials)
intend to mete out such a hard
retribution that the japanese people |
are more determined than ever to |
unite and resist as a united mass
of 100 million souls and will so con-
tinuG as long as American minds
remain dictatorial and oppressive, 4"
