Washington Soviets Quaff Champagne WASHINGTON, 14 (UP) At the Russian embassy the news of surrender found a reception in progress for a Soviet Trade Union delegation. The Embassy promptly broke out champagne. Vassili Kuznetsov, president of the Russian Union movement, toasted peace for the world and friendship between the Soviets and the United States. Hirohito Continued from the First Page "Such being the case, how are we to save the millions of our subjects; or to atone ourselves before the hallowed spirits of our imperial ancestors? This is the reason we have ordered the acceptance of the joint declaration of the powers." The dispatch quoted him as saying: "Beware most strictly of any outbursts of emotion which may engender needless complications, of any fraternal contention and strife which may create confusion, lead ye astray and cause ye to lose the confidence of the world.

"Let the entire nation continue as one family from generation to generation, ever firm in its faith in the imperishable' ness of its divine land, and 1 1 mindful of its heavy burden of responsibilities and the long road before it." Adm Baron Kantaro Suzuki followed the Emperor. in a broadcast speech. He also told the Japanese people that Japan's "war aim" was lost "by the enemy's use of the new type bomb." The Domei dispatch said "It Is the first time in Japan's history that the Emperor spoke to the nation over the radio." The text of the rescript Includes the following: "Indeed, we declared war on America and Britain out of our sincere desire to insure Japans self-preservation and the establishment of East Asia, It being far from our thought either to infringe upon the sovereignty of other nations or to embark upon territorial aggrandizement. ''But now the war has lasted for nearly four years. Despite the best that has been done by everyone the gallant fighting of the military and naval forces, the diligence and assidinte onr servants of the state arwt tht ciewttd serswe our one hundred million the war situation has developed not necessarily to Japans advantage, while the general trends of the world have all turned against her interest." Challenge of Peace NowMust.Be Met, Says Adm Gygax Rear Adm Felix Gygax, USN, Commandant of the 1st Naval District and of the Boston Navy Yard: "The official announcement that Japan has surrendered comes as joyous news to all of us.

The sons and daughters of New England who have served and are serving in the armed forces and production forces have contributed in outstanding measure to the complete victories over the Axis forces of aggression. "The challenge of war has been met and has terminated in complete victory for us and for all peace-loving, civilized peoples throughout the world. "We now must meet the challenge of peace. Let us dedicate ourselves to the establishment of a peace that will be worthy of our hero dead, a peace that will serve as an everlasting reminder that their supreme sacrifices have not been made in vain. "Let us never again forget that to enjoy peace we must always stand ready and able to protect it." 1, 7 ::,0..,:.
