There can be no peace in the world until the military power of Japan is destroyed, with the same completeness as was the power of the European dictators.

To do that, we are now engaged in the process of deploying millions of our armed forces against Japan in a mass movement of troops and supplies and weapons over 14,000 miles, a military and naval feat unequaled in all history.

Substantial portions of Japan's key industrial centers have been leveled to the ground in a series of record incendiary raids.

What has already happened to Tokyo will happen to every Japanese city whose industries feed the Japanese war machine.

If the Japanese insist on continuing their distance beyond the point of reasoning, their country will suffer the same destruction as Germany.

Our blows will destroy their whole modern industrial plant and organization, which they have built up during the past century and which they are now devoting to a hopeless cause.

 We have no desire or intention to destroy or enslave the Japanese people, but only surrender can prevent the kind of ruin which they have seen come to Germany as a result of continued useless resistance.
