REPLY TO WARNING
The spokesman's reference to
the Atlantic Charter suggested
that he might be replying to an
American broadcast made to ia
pan last Saturday by Capt. f.
c. Zacharias, USN, who told
japanese leaders they had fast
fading choice Of two opportun-
tiles at present:
I. Virtual destruction Of ia
pan followed by dictated
peace.
2. Unconditional surrender
with its attendant benefits as
: laid down by the Atlantic Char
ter.
Two other factors may be in
volved:
There have been persistent
reports that the Big Three con-
ference in Potsdam has discuss
ed 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
attached TO a statement made in
Chungking by China's premier,
T V. Soong. just back from
several personal conferences
with Marshal Stain in Moscow
Soong made it plain that he had
made good enough progress with
the Russians regarding mutual
problems that he was willing to
be optimistic in public and pre-
dict the war would end this
year or early in 1916.
Still another sign of political
defeat for Japan came from
Chungking. The central Chinese
government admitted that Its
troops had clashed with Chinese
Communist forces in the north.

/ other for starting the fight, the

SAN FRANCISCO, July 26-
(P) - Japan, backed against the
ropes in fight she started some
time back. today spoke of quit
ting the war as definite pos
sibility. Il
This is the central fact which
observers are able to pick out
Of the Tokyo radios startling
broadcast today urging the
United States to take more
lenient attitude about this busi-
ness of peace.
The appeal was carefully
hedged about with qualifica
tions which fitted it neatly into
Tokyo's usual propaganda line.
Nevertheless, it gave the inn
preston that Japan would be
definitely interested in peace if
only the unconditional surren-
der formula could be softened.
IDEAS CHANGE
The broadcast, heard by the
Federal Communications. came
on the heels of the most disas-
trous two weeks the empire has
undergone.
Mammoth Superfort raids,
paralyzing land based aerial
strikes from Okinawa, and the
great fleet commandments and
carrier attacks since July 10
have ripped the empire from
stem to stern and further mang-
led the Japanese war machine
in China and elsewhere.
So much so that earlier to-
day Tokyo radio agreed with
Admiral Halsey that American
sea and air power indeed had
opened the pre-invasion phase
of warfare against the japanese
homeland.
The Japanese peace feeler said
there really are no problems

Work Delayed

Complaints concerning the
dangerous condition of the pier
at the Municipal bathing beach
were received last night by the
City Commission but it was
ruled that due to the high water
il is impossible at this time to
alleviate the condition.
The complaints charged that
in order TO get TO the end of
the pier bathers had to 60 over
sharp rocks and many people
hive had their feet cut.
The commissioners admitted
the grevious condition existed
out stated that part of the
pier is now under water and
work can not begin on putting
cement pavement in. The COM
mission pointed out that work
on the pier '-,ould begin as soon
as the water recedes.
1t was decided that "use at
your own risk" sign would be
put up so as to warn the people
of the dangerous situation.
Mayor Albert Wagner stated
that plans have been ready to
work on the pier for some time
but weather conditions have
prevented the work. On hearing
of the complaints he stated that

If the people of the country
are behind work done at the

But if it becomes clear that
the American people frown on

WASHINGTON, April IL -
Up If you have a complaint
to make or an opinion TO express
about the United Nations Con-
ference on postwar peace in San
Francisco - you can make il
known.
And by you Is meant any in
dividual or organization in this
country. You can make your
criticism or express your opin-
ion while the conference. which
starts April IS, is in session.
You address what you have to
say to:
The Division of Public Liai-
son, American Delegation, Unit
ed N at ions Conference, San
Francisco. Calf.
1t could work like this:
YOU MAY REACT
The eight American delegates
to the conference, and the dele
gates from the other nations
may agree on certain point
they think should be included in
any league to keep peace.
You - as an individual or an
organization may think it's a
terrible idea. You can write OIL
wire, saying so, to that Division
of Pu b &c Liaison mentioned
above.
That division is going to try
TO organize the expressions OF
opinion which it receives and
make them known to the dele.
gates.
This doesn't mean that you,
John Jones, simply by sending
wire to San Francisco in pro-
test against something happen
ing there will be able to change
the course of history. the minds
of the delegates or the form of
the league.
But suppose the delegates
fumbling around for a solution
to some knotty problem, begin
to think they have hit on a So
luton.
Suppose the American dele
gates call in the newspapermen
and say:
Boys, we're having a pretty
difficult time on this point. But
we finally have decided that the
best thing we can do is so and
So"
THERE'S YOUR CHANCE
T h e newspapermen publish
that statement and indicate what
is likely to be done.
Then you, John Jones. or you,
the Amalgamated Association OF
Bundle Bee Raisers. send a fiery
protest or a fervent note oi
approval - to the Division OF
Public Liaison.
Your note alone may not have
much influence. And if you alone
wrote in about that point, your
opinion undoubtedly wouldnt
have any influence at all.
But suppose 500 organiza-
tons. or $4,000 individuals,
wrote to San Francisco in pro-
test or approval. Then that COM
bined opinion might have a real
influence on the delegates
thinking and decision.
This story is dealing entirely
with individuals and groups who
are not going to be represented
at San Francisco.
Forty two organizations -
representing millions of people
in religious, labor, business, farm
and legal groups will have
representatives in San Francisco
But a lot of people - indi-
viduals going to San Francisco
out of curiosity and organiza-
tions which have not been in
vited - will be out there for
the conference.
The State Department has ar
ranged this for them:
Perhaps once a week or al
stated times these observers will
be invited to big meeting.
INFORM PUBLIC
High officials Of the State De-
partment and perhaps one of
the American delegates to the
conference, like Senator Tom
Connally of Texas - will adj
dress the crowd.
Then these speakers will an
