SAN

(CP)
The
Japanese
people,
treated
heretofore
to
a
series
of
face-saving,
evasive
explanations
of
their
surrender,
were
told
flatly
today
by
one
of
their
top
leaders
that
they
are
a
beaten
people
and
must
pay
thejiricQ
for
an
Imperialistic
bubble
that
burst
in
the
blast
of
atomic

After
four
days
of
shock-absorbing
statements
to
the
effect
that
"defeat
Is
but
temporary"
and
we
still
think
our
way
of
thinking
Is
right,"
Foreign
Minister
Mamoru
Shlgemltsu
put
the
Japanese
position
in
plain
words.
Unfortunately,"
he
bluntly
told
a
press
conference
reported
by
Domcl
News
Agency
"we
have
to
face
the
fact
that
we
have
been
defeated.
This
fact
should
be
admitted
as
it
Is
and
any
ovcr-optlmlstlc
view
should
be
avoided.
Every
Japanese
should
repeatedly
read
and
realize
the
terms
of
the
Potsdam
Declara
tion

carry
them
out

From
there
the

This
means
it

unlikely
the

will

before

night,
thus
probably
postponing
the
meeting
with
MacArthur
until
Monday.
Tokyo
said
the
envoys
would
depart
in
two
planes
from
Tokyo.
MacArthur
had
specified
that
one
plane
be
used
and
that
it
should
depart
from
Sata
Misaki
on
the
southern
tip
of
Kyushu
Island.

preparations
continued
undor
unusual
secrecy
for
the
holding
of
the
momentous

conference
here.
The
Japanese
message
giving
the

schedule
indicated
the
Japanese
had
abandoned
hope
of
further
stalling
of

negotiations.
