TO CEASE IMMEDIATELY

The Prime Minister, Mr J. B. Chifley, announced that the Commonwealth was no longer at war with Japan. Because the interests of the other United Nations and of the Australian forces themselves were involved he said the question of the removal of the censorship from radio broadcasts and outgoing Press messages was being discussed with the appropriate authorities and the Australian services, and it could be taken for granted that as soon as the Japanese forces were no longer in a position to take offensive, action all the remaining forms of publicity and censorship would he abolished.
