ANNIVERSARY OF VJ-DAY
“JAPANESE DOING THEIR PART” STATEMENT BY GENMtAL MACARTHUR e (N.Z.P.A.—Reuter—Copyright) (Rec. 11 p.m.) TOKYO, September 1. “The Japanese people are dbing their part well in working for a secure peace tn spite of the spectre of war that hovers over the earth,” said General MacArthur in a statement on the third anniversary of VJ-Day. “They have here, in a confused and bewildered world, a calm well-ordered society dedicated to the sanctity of peace, flanked by the newly-born Korean ‘Republic . and that stalwart land of Filipino patriots. Japan now forms a sturdy pillar in a triangular buttress exemplifying before all the peoples of the East the wisdom of the democratic concept. “Tile establishment of the democratic concept in Japan, as sworn to by the Allied nations aboard the U.S.S. Missouri in Tokyo Bay three years ago, is now well advanced, but singleness of purpose among the nations represented there no longer exists.”
