I
Churchill A Great
Figure In English
History
BY DeWITT MaeKENZIE
AJ* Foreign Affairs Analyst
■
-i Winston Churchill has
down to political defeat in
midst of that s'irring
which brought him to
and in fact has marked
whole adventurous life, for
{ his government was b ing vot
ed out of existence he signed
the historic Allied ultimatum
of Potsdam, calling on Japan
to surrender unconditionally cr
suffer “prompt and utter de-
4 struction.”
That was a fitting farewell
gesture for & ■gallant warrior—
one of the great figures in Eng
lish history—who has had s<
great a part in saving the world
from Axis slavery. This edict,
which in effect renews Britain's
pledge t.o wage war against Nip
pon to the finish, of course had
the approval' of the new Prime
Minister, Major Clement Attlee,
who has be n attending the Big
Three conference as -Churchill's
“deputy.”
The big question in Japan's
mind, and in the minds of the
Allied publics, is what Gen
eralissimo Stalin says—if any
thing—about it- Is he prepar
ed to help America. Britain and
China enforce this ultimatum,
oris.he standing to one side? I
think Tokyo has, r, right to fear
that he gave t Vs nc enm no ki
his blessings.
Labor's triumph in the Brit
ish g neral election isn't a n
buke to Churchill - for 'he
try reverences him n: in r
v.bo led them out y
emess of defeat Rather it's a

'Utter Destruction’ Chosen By
Japan Rather Than Surrender
Gets
Of Quick Capitulation
By Japanese
BY i.EON’ARI) MI1.LIMAN
Associated Press War Editor
Tokyo said today Japa n
"hocse "utter destruction"
admittedly superr r Allied
rather than yield to the
unconditional surrender
Other sources, not so sure of
ponese determination, hinted
might fold up befrre invasion.
The Japanese cabinet, meeting
sp.cial session at the residence
Premier Suzuki, heard
Minister Shigenori Togo on
eight point definition of uncondi
tional surrender issued
by President Truman. Churchill and
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek.
Shortly thereafter the govern
ment-controlled Domei news agency
said Japan wouldn't capitulate.
“Japan will prosecute the war
of greater East Asia to the bitter
end," Dcmei said, “in accordance
with her fixed policy."
This was a complete reversal of
yesterday’s unprecedehted appeal
by Tokyo radio fer leniency. It
ignored a recommendation that
an surrender which was reportedly
made by Gen. Hiroshi Ohima, on e
of Nippin's foremost military diplo
mats. As ambassador tj German,
he saw Tokyo's Axis partner b at
en into submission and was con
vinced of, the futility of fighting
further.
From Manila came a report that
Japanese leaders were preparing
the country for surrender before in
lasion. Washington buzzed
rumors and speculation -f prompt
surrender. Churchill nmrafiiU’d
rite end of the Pacific war
come much quicker than we
hitherto been mtjtled to expect."

i roJlito s advisers actually do. the
Allies went ahead with plans tc
turn loose their full military might
which the Potsdam declaration said
“will mean the inevitable and com
plete destruction :f the Japanese
armed forces and the utter destruc
tion t,f the Japanese homeland."
This, the Potsdam ultimatum said.
Is the only alternative to uncon
ditional surrend r of the Mikado':
armed forces, elimination of the
propagators of the Pacific war. anc
a return to democratic principles.
•Tokyo noted the "ctnspicuous'
absence of Stalin's signature on the
ultimatum and interpreted the de
feat of Churchill’s government as
a sign of Allied disunity. But Cle
ment, Attlee announced in his first
! statement as Britain's new Prime
Minister that “the first thing we
have to do is to finish the war
with Japan."
The Unit d States will throw 7.
000.000 troops' into the task, said
Gen. Jacob L. Devers, Chief of
Army Ground Fcrces. Only a frac
tion of them will actually be on the

1 Australia will cut her forces
down from six to three army divi
sions - reduce her air force from 53
to 36 squadrons but maintain her
present navy. This repres nts an
increase in Australia's air force in
the Pacific and no change in ground
and sea power. Three Digger Di

Japanese are withdrawing toward
