can we repay our debt to them. We
must work, work and work to finish
the task, and we must remain at our
posts until the last Japanese division
surrenders unconditionally. All Amer
icans. through sacrifices and with
God’s help, have forced unconditional
surrender upon Germany.”
The President was surrounded by
his official family as Ji e began his
momentous broadcast Tuesday morn -
ing. “This,” he said, “is a solmcn but
glorious hour.” He voiced the
thoughts of millions and brought a
mist to their eyes by adding. “How I
wish Franklin Roosevelt had lived to
se e this day " He reminded the na
tion in its flush victory that it had
not been fighting alone, and he pro
claimed Sunday, May 13. a day of
prayer. ‘T call upon all the people
of the United States, whatever their
faith, to unite in offering loyful
thanks to God for the victory we
have won and to pray that he will
support us to the end of oui present
struggle and guide u.s into the way
of peace. 1 aiso call upon my coun
trymen to dedicate tills day of prayer
to the memory of those who have
given their lives to make possible
