Press Conference Statement by
Prime Minister Suzuki
Printed from “Daily Report, Foreign Radio Broadcasts, Monday, July 30, 1945” (Washington, Federal Communications Commission, Foreign Broadcast Intelligence Service, mimeographed, 1945), pp. BC 1–2. The extracts here printed are a translation of portions of a Domei transmission in romaji carried by Radio Tokyo’s Greater East Asia service at 3 a.m., Eastern War Time, July 29, as monitored by the Foreign Broadcast Intelligence Service.
This statement is apparently the Japanese rejection of the Potsdam Proclamation to which Truman referred in his statement of August 6 (document No. 1315). Cf. Byrnes, Speaking Frankly, p. 263; Stimson and Bundy, On Active Service in Peace and War, p. 625. The passage cited in Stimson and Bundy suggests that Stimson had seen a somewhat different English version of Suzuki’s statement, containing the phrase “unworthy of public notice”.
