Tokyo Physician Sees Dropping of Atomic Bomb as 'Having Saved Japan' By Victor CohnAugust 5, 1983
The atomic bomb "might be described as having saved Japan," the immediate past president of the Japan Medical Association says in an article being published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"I believe that the majority of Japanese people now agree" that the bomb, destructive as it was, saved the country from more war and mass starvation, adds Dr. Taro Takemi, a Tokyo physician.
Edwin O. Reischauer, former U.S. ambassador to Japan and one of this nation's leading authorities on Japan, said in an interview yesterday that he doubts that most Japanese are ready to agree, "but it's all quite true . . . . It makes very good sense . . . . It's something to have a Japanese saying this."
"I too ," Reischauer said, "thought dropping the bomb was a mistake at the time, but I have changed my mind" for the same reason.
Takemi, who was studying nuclear physics in Tokyo on Aug. 6, 1945, when the first bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, writes that "it was most regrettable that the bomb was used for war," and he casts doubt on the need for the second atomic bomb, dropped on Nagasaki.
Yet, he adds, "The military had driven Japan to a stage that if it could not win, it would not surrender. Japan surely would have lost the war, and many people would have starved if the atom bomb had not been dropped. When one considers the possibility that the Japanese military would have sacrificed the entire nation if it were not for the atomic bomb attack, then this bomb might be described as having saved Japan.
"This is what I currently think, although I did think differently at the time . . . . "
Reischauer, ambassador to Japan from 1961 to 1966, prominent for years as a military and State Department official and adviser and now a Harvard professor emeritus, said:
"The military would never have let the people surrender" had it not been for the bomb.
"The Japanese people would have had to go on fighting . . . , and there would have been an absolute massacre with attendant starvation. I feel certain that many millions of people would have died."
The Hiroshima bomb killed at least 71,000 Japanese. The bomb dropped on Nagasaki on Aug. 9, 1945, killed a minimum of 39,000.
In his Journal article, Takemi tells how he and other scientists at the institute where he was studying surmised that the Hiroshima blast must have been nuclear.
He tells how he showed the data to "Count Makino," his wife's grandfather and a prewar opponent of the military, who "became gravely concerned and immediately asked for an audience with the emperor . . . . His Majesty listened to the count for one hour and 40 minutes and indicated his decision to accept the Potsdam Declaration," the Allied demand for a Japanese surrender. Research, Reischauer said, has shown that the Japanese government forced the decision on the emperor.
"The final decision," he said, "was made by six men," the army and navy ministers and chiefs of staff, the prime minister and the foreign minister, all but one--the foreign minister--active or retired military officers.
Only the prime minister, the navy minister and the foreign minister, the one civilian, voted for surrender, Reischauer said. So the emperor, who was willing to decide but considered himself a constitutional monarch "who had no right to make a decision unless he was asked to," cabled his decision to surrender to the Allies.

President Harry Truman’s decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki came with regret over the loss of life, but without hesitation.
Truman’s diaries, speeches and personal correspondence present a man who believed the bombs would end the war before Soviet intervention.
They also show how an early belief that the bombs would somehow only target combatants gives way to a later justification that the deaths of innocent Japanese lives was necessary to prevent more American fatalities.
Truman only learned of the atomic bomb’s existence after assuming the presidency. Truman inquired about the mysterious Manhattan Project years earlier, while heading a Senate committee to investigate war spending, but Secretary of War Henry Stimson refused to let him review it.
“He said that he now understood perfectly why it was inadvisable for me to have taken any other course than I had taken,” Stimson wrote in his diary on April 25, 1945, two days after Truman was fully briefed on the atomic bomb’s progress."
Takashi Nagai, a hibakusha doctor who headed the members at Urakami and whose wife died in the blast, referred to the atomic bomb as "divine providence," given the horrific death toll.

US leaders knew we didn’t have to drop atomic bombs on Japan to win the war. We did it anyway By GAR ALPEROVITZ and MARTIN J. SHERWIN Los Angeles Times | Saturday, August 8, 2020, 12:05 a.m.
At a time when Americans are reassessing so many painful aspects of our nation’s past, it is an opportune moment to have an honest national conversation about our use of nuclear weapons on Japanese cities in August 1945. The fateful decision to inaugurate the nuclear age fundamentally changed the course of modern history, and it continues to threaten our survival. As the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ Doomsday Clock warns us, the world is now closer to nuclear annihilation than at any time since 1947.
The accepted wisdom in the United States for the last 75 years has been that dropping the bombs on Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, and on Nagasaki three days later was the only way to end the World War II without an invasion that would have cost hundreds of thousands of American and perhaps millions of Japanese lives. Not only did the bombs end the war, the logic goes, they did so in the most humane way possible.
However, the overwhelming historical evidence from American and Japanese archives indicates that Japan would have surrendered that August, even if atomic bombs had not been used — and documents prove that President Harry Truman and his closest advisers knew it.
The Allied demand for unconditional surrender led the Japanese to fear that the emperor, who many considered a deity, would be tried as a war criminal and executed. A study by Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s Southwest Pacific Command compared the emperor’s execution to “the crucifixion of Christ to us.”
“Unconditional Surrender is the only obstacle to peace,” Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo wired Ambassador Naotake Sato, who was in Moscow on July 12, 1945, trying to enlist the Soviet Union to mediate acceptable surrender terms on Japan’s behalf.
But the Soviet Union’s entry into the war on Aug. 8 changed everything for Japan’s leaders, who privately acknowledged the need to surrender promptly.
Allied intelligence had been reporting for months that Soviet entry would force the Japanese to capitulate. As early as April 11, 1945, the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s Joint Intelligence Staff had predicted: “If at any time the USSR should enter the war, all Japanese will realize that absolute defeat is inevitable.”
Truman knew that the Japanese were searching for a way to end the war; he had referred to Togo’s intercepted July 12 cable as the “telegram from the Jap emperor asking for peace.”
Truman also knew that the Soviet invasion would knock Japan out of the war. At the summit in Potsdam, Germany, on July 17, following Stalin’s assurance that the Soviets were coming in on schedule, Truman wrote in his diary, “He’ll be in the Jap War on August 15. Fini Japs when that comes about.” The next day, he assured his wife, “We’ll end the war a year sooner now, and think of the kids who won’t be killed!”
The Soviets invaded Japanese-held Manchuria at midnight on Aug. 8 and quickly destroyed the vaunted Kwantung Army. As predicted, the attack traumatized Japan’s leaders. They could not fight a two-front war, and the threat of a communist takeover of Japanese territory was their worst nightmare.
Prime Minister Kantaro Suzuki explained on Aug. 13 that Japan had to surrender quickly because “the Soviet Union will take not only Manchuria, Korea, Karafuto, but also Hokkaido. This would destroy the foundation of Japan. We must end the war when we can deal with the United States.”
While a majority of Americans may not be familiar with this history, the National Museum of the U.S. Navy in Washington, D.C., states unambiguously on a plaque with its atomic bomb exhibit: “The vast destruction wreaked by the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the loss of 135,000 people made little impact on the Japanese military. However, the Soviet invasion of Manchuria … changed their minds.” But online the wording has been modified to put the atomic bombings in a more positive light — once again showing how myths can overwhelm historical evidence.
Seven of the United States’ eight five-star Army and Navy officers in 1945 agreed with the Navy’s vitriolic assessment. Generals Dwight Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur and Henry “Hap” Arnold and Admirals William Leahy, Chester Nimitz, Ernest King and William Halsey are on record stating that the atomic bombs were either militarily unnecessary, morally reprehensible, or both.
No one was more impassioned in his condemnation than Leahy, Truman’s chief of staff. He wrote in his memoir “that the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender … In being the first to use it we had adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages.”
MacArthur thought the use of atomic bombs was inexcusable. He later wrote to former President Herbert Hoover that if Truman had followed Hoover’s “wise and statesmanlike” advice to modify its surrender terms and tell the Japanese they could keep their emperor, “the Japanese would have accepted it and gladly I have no doubt.”
Before the bombings, Eisenhower had urged at Potsdam, “the Japanese were ready to surrender and it wasn’t necessary to hit them with that awful thing.”
The evidence shows he was right, and the advancing Doomsday Clock is a reminder that the violent inauguration of the nuclear age has yet to be confined to the past.

Official says verdict to US for bombing Japan would’ve ridded world of ‘nuclear disease’ The US detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively
MOSCOW, October 24. /TASS/. The world would have acquired a lasting immunity to the "nuclear disease" if it had passed a fair verdict to Washington in 1945 for the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Russian Foreign Intelligence Service Director Sergey Naryshkin told reporters on Monday.
"Speaking about the big nuclear problem, it’s worth remembering and learning all the lessons, and they began even earlier than the Cuban Missile Crisis. I will remind you of the events of August 1945, when nuclear weapons were first used against civilians. That was done by the US, and done twice. The destruction of Hiroshima seemed insufficient for the US political and military leadership, and they destroyed another Japanese city: Nagasaki. It must be said that war crime, a crime against humanity has gone unpunished," he said. "If humanity had then passed a fair verdict with respect to the US political and military leadership, I am sure that humanity would have received a very reliable vaccination against the nuclear disease."
The US detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively. The bombings killed a total of more than 450,000 people and survivors still suffer from radiation-induced diseases. The latest data indicate there are 183,519 survivors. These attacks remain the only use of nuclear weapons in armed conflict. The US hasn’t recognized its moral responsibility for the attacks, saying they were militarily justified. https://tass.com/politics/1526539

Tokyo Physician Sees Dropping of Atomic Bomb as 'Having Saved Japan'
By Victor CohnAugust 5, 1983
The atomic bomb "might be described as having saved Japan," the immediate past president of the Japan Medical Association says in an article being published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"I believe that the majority of Japanese people now agree" that the bomb, destructive as it was, saved the country from more war and mass starvation, adds Dr. Taro Takemi, a Tokyo physician.
Edwin O. Reischauer, former U.S. ambassador to Japan and one of this nation's leading authorities on Japan, said in an interview yesterday that he doubts that most Japanese are ready to agree, "but it's all quite true . . . . It makes very good sense . . . . It's something to have a Japanese saying this."
"I too ," Reischauer said, "thought dropping the bomb was a mistake at the time, but I have changed my mind" for the same reason.
Takemi, who was studying nuclear physics in Tokyo on Aug. 6, 1945, when the first bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, writes that "it was most regrettable that the bomb was used for war," and he casts doubt on the need for the second atomic bomb, dropped on Nagasaki.
Yet, he adds, "The military had driven Japan to a stage that if it could not win, it would not surrender. Japan surely would have lost the war, and many people would have starved if the atom bomb had not been dropped. When one considers the possibility that the Japanese military would have sacrificed the entire nation if it were not for the atomic bomb attack, then this bomb might be described as having saved Japan.
"This is what I currently think, although I did think differently at the time . . . . "
Reischauer, ambassador to Japan from 1961 to 1966, prominent for years as a military and State Department official and adviser and now a Harvard professor emeritus, said:
"The military would never have let the people surrender" had it not been for the bomb.
"The Japanese people would have had to go on fighting . . . , and there would have been an absolute massacre with attendant starvation. I feel certain that many millions of people would have died."
The Hiroshima bomb killed at least 71,000 Japanese. The bomb dropped on Nagasaki on Aug. 9, 1945, killed a minimum of 39,000.
In his Journal article, Takemi tells how he and other scientists at the institute where he was studying surmised that the Hiroshima blast must have been nuclear.
He tells how he showed the data to "Count Makino," his wife's grandfather and a prewar opponent of the military, who "became gravely concerned and immediately asked for an audience with the emperor . . . . His Majesty listened to the count for one hour and 40 minutes and indicated his decision to accept the Potsdam Declaration," the Allied demand for a Japanese surrender. Research, Reischauer said, has shown that the Japanese government forced the decision on the emperor.
"The final decision," he said, "was made by six men," the army and navy ministers and chiefs of staff, the prime minister and the foreign minister, all but one--the foreign minister--active or retired military officers.
Only the prime minister, the navy minister and the foreign minister, the one civilian, voted for surrender, Reischauer said. So the emperor, who was willing to decide but considered himself a constitutional monarch "who had no right to make a decision unless he was asked to," cabled his decision to surrender to the Allies.

"When the president said yes to the bomb: Truman's diaries reveal no hesitation, some regret
BY ERIK SLAVIN• • AUGUST 5, 2015
President Harry S. Truman announces Japan's surrender on Aug. 14, 1945, a little more than a week after an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. (U.S. National Archives)
President Harry Truman’s decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki came with regret over the loss of life, but without hesitation.
Truman’s diaries, speeches and personal correspondence present a man who believed the bombs would end the war before Soviet intervention.
They also show how an early belief that the bombs would somehow only target combatants gives way to a later justification that the deaths of innocent Japanese lives was necessary to prevent more American fatalities.
Truman only learned of the atomic bomb’s existence after assuming the presidency. Truman inquired about the mysterious Manhattan Project years earlier, while heading a Senate committee to investigate war spending, but Secretary of War Henry Stimson refused to let him review it.
“He said that he now understood perfectly why it was inadvisable for me to have taken any other course than I had taken,” Stimson wrote in his diary on April 25, 1945, two days after Truman was fully briefed on the atomic bomb’s progress."

そうでございますね。ウクライナ国内で多くの尊い命が失われていることに非常に心を痛めております。現在の国際情勢は厳しいものがございますが、天皇陛下がお誕生日の記者会見の折におっしゃった言葉と同じ言葉をそのままお伝えしたいと思うので、メモを見させていただきます。お誕生日の御会見では「国と国との間では、様々な緊張関係が今も存在しますが、人と人との交流が、国や地域の境界を越えて、お互いを認め合う、平和な世界につながってほしいと願っております」というお考えを示されましたが、私もこのお考えと同じ思いでおります。今広島の文集の話もしていただきましたけれども、私は中学３年生のときに広島を訪れ、原爆ドームとそれに併設する広島平和記念資料館を訪れましたが、その時に見た、目を覆いたくなるほどのとても凄惨な光景を今でもはっきりと覚えております。その時に平和の尊さを改めて強く感じまして、私は今でも平和への強い願いを持っております。以上でございます。

US leaders knew we didn’t have to drop atomic bombs on Japan to win the war. We did it anyway
By GAR ALPEROVITZ and MARTIN J. SHERWIN Los Angeles Times | Saturday, August 8, 2020, 12:05 a.m.
At a time when Americans are reassessing so many painful aspects of our nation’s past, it is an opportune moment to have an honest national conversation about our use of nuclear weapons on Japanese cities in August 1945. The fateful decision to inaugurate the nuclear age fundamentally changed the course of modern history, and it continues to threaten our survival. As the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ Doomsday Clock warns us, the world is now closer to nuclear annihilation than at any time since 1947.
The accepted wisdom in the United States for the last 75 years has been that dropping the bombs on Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, and on Nagasaki three days later was the only way to end the World War II without an invasion that would have cost hundreds of thousands of American and perhaps millions of Japanese lives. Not only did the bombs end the war, the logic goes, they did so in the most humane way possible.
However, the overwhelming historical evidence from American and Japanese archives indicates that Japan would have surrendered that August, even if atomic bombs had not been used — and documents prove that President Harry Truman and his closest advisers knew it.
The Allied demand for unconditional surrender led the Japanese to fear that the emperor, who many considered a deity, would be tried as a war criminal and executed. A study by Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s Southwest Pacific Command compared the emperor’s execution to “the crucifixion of Christ to us.”
“Unconditional Surrender is the only obstacle to peace,” Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo wired Ambassador Naotake Sato, who was in Moscow on July 12, 1945, trying to enlist the Soviet Union to mediate acceptable surrender terms on Japan’s behalf.
But the Soviet Union’s entry into the war on Aug. 8 changed everything for Japan’s leaders, who privately acknowledged the need to surrender promptly.
Allied intelligence had been reporting for months that Soviet entry would force the Japanese to capitulate. As early as April 11, 1945, the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s Joint Intelligence Staff had predicted: “If at any time the USSR should enter the war, all Japanese will realize that absolute defeat is inevitable.”
Truman knew that the Japanese were searching for a way to end the war; he had referred to Togo’s intercepted July 12 cable as the “telegram from the Jap emperor asking for peace.”
Truman also knew that the Soviet invasion would knock Japan out of the war. At the summit in Potsdam, Germany, on July 17, following Stalin’s assurance that the Soviets were coming in on schedule, Truman wrote in his diary, “He’ll be in the Jap War on August 15. Fini Japs when that comes about.” The next day, he assured his wife, “We’ll end the war a year sooner now, and think of the kids who won’t be killed!”
The Soviets invaded Japanese-held Manchuria at midnight on Aug. 8 and quickly destroyed the vaunted Kwantung Army. As predicted, the attack traumatized Japan’s leaders. They could not fight a two-front war, and the threat of a communist takeover of Japanese territory was their worst nightmare.
Prime Minister Kantaro Suzuki explained on Aug. 13 that Japan had to surrender quickly because “the Soviet Union will take not only Manchuria, Korea, Karafuto, but also Hokkaido. This would destroy the foundation of Japan. We must end the war when we can deal with the United States.”
While a majority of Americans may not be familiar with this history, the National Museum of the U.S. Navy in Washington, D.C., states unambiguously on a plaque with its atomic bomb exhibit: “The vast destruction wreaked by the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the loss of 135,000 people made little impact on the Japanese military. However, the Soviet invasion of Manchuria … changed their minds.” But online the wording has been modified to put the atomic bombings in a more positive light — once again showing how myths can overwhelm historical evidence.
Seven of the United States’ eight five-star Army and Navy officers in 1945 agreed with the Navy’s vitriolic assessment. Generals Dwight Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur and Henry “Hap” Arnold and Admirals William Leahy, Chester Nimitz, Ernest King and William Halsey are on record stating that the atomic bombs were either militarily unnecessary, morally reprehensible, or both.
No one was more impassioned in his condemnation than Leahy, Truman’s chief of staff. He wrote in his memoir “that the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender … In being the first to use it we had adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages.”
MacArthur thought the use of atomic bombs was inexcusable. He later wrote to former President Herbert Hoover that if Truman had followed Hoover’s “wise and statesmanlike” advice to modify its surrender terms and tell the Japanese they could keep their emperor, “the Japanese would have accepted it and gladly I have no doubt.”
Before the bombings, Eisenhower had urged at Potsdam, “the Japanese were ready to surrender and it wasn’t necessary to hit them with that awful thing.”
The evidence shows he was right, and the advancing Doomsday Clock is a reminder that the violent inauguration of the nuclear age has yet to be confined to the past.

Official says verdict to US for bombing Japan would’ve ridded world of ‘nuclear disease’
The US detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively
MOSCOW, October 24. /TASS/. The world would have acquired a lasting immunity to the "nuclear disease" if it had passed a fair verdict to Washington in 1945 for the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Russian Foreign Intelligence Service Director Sergey Naryshkin told reporters on Monday.
"Speaking about the big nuclear problem, it’s worth remembering and learning all the lessons, and they began even earlier than the Cuban Missile Crisis. I will remind you of the events of August 1945, when nuclear weapons were first used against civilians. That was done by the US, and done twice. The destruction of Hiroshima seemed insufficient for the US political and military leadership, and they destroyed another Japanese city: Nagasaki. It must be said that war crime, a crime against humanity has gone unpunished," he said. "If humanity had then passed a fair verdict with respect to the US political and military leadership, I am sure that humanity would have received a very reliable vaccination against the nuclear disease."
The US detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively. The bombings killed a total of more than 450,000 people and survivors still suffer from radiation-induced diseases. The latest data indicate there are 183,519 survivors. These attacks remain the only use of nuclear weapons in armed conflict. The US hasn’t recognized its moral responsibility for the attacks, saying they were militarily justified.

「歴史に残るG7サミットの機会に議長として各国首脳と共に「核兵器のない世界」をめざすためにここに集う」
マクロン仏大統領（記帳内容）（フランス語）

（注）仮訳：感情と共感の念をもって広島で犠牲となった方々を追悼する責務に貢献し、平和のために行動することだけが、私たちに課せられた使命です。
バイデン米大統領（記帳内容）（英語）
「May the stories of this Museum remind us all of our obligations to build a future of peace. Together-let us continue to make progress toward the day when we can finally and forever rid the world of nuclear weapons. Keep the faith!」
（注）仮訳：この資料館で語られる物語が、平和な未来を築くことへの私たち全員の義務を思い出させてくれますように。世界から核兵器を最終的に、そして、永久になくせる日に向けて、共に進んでいきましょう。信念を貫きましょう！
トルドー加首相（記帳内容）（英語）
「Canada pays solemn tribute to the many lives lost, the unspeakable grief of the Hibakusha, and the immense suffering of the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.Votre histoire restera à jamais gravée dans notre conscience collective.」
（注）仮訳：多数の犠牲になった命、被爆者の声にならない悲嘆、広島と長崎の人々の計り知れない苦悩に、カナダは厳粛なる弔慰と敬意を表します。貴方の体験は我々の心に永遠に刻まれることでしょう。

（注）仮訳：シェイクスピアは、「悲しみを言葉に出せ」と説いている。しかし、原爆の閃光に照らされ、言葉は通じない。広島と長崎の人々の恐怖と苦しみは、どんな言葉を用いても言い表すことができない。しかし、私たちが、心と魂を込めて言えることは、繰り返さないということだ。
ミシェル欧州理事会議長（記帳内容）（英語）

（注）仮訳：広島で起きたことは、今なお人類を苦しめています。これは戦争がもたらす重い代償と、平和を守り堅持するというわれわれの終わりなき義務をはっきりと思い起こさせるものです。https://www.mofa.go.jp/mofaj/ms/g7hs_s/page1_001692.html

戦後（昭和20年11月）のインタビューの中で、次のように証言している。「陛下や私があの原子爆弾に依つて得た感じは、待ちに待つた終戦断行の好機を此処に与へられたと言ふのであつた。それらの心理的衝撃を利用して此の際断行すれば、終戦はどうやら出来るのではないかと考へたのだ。……私ども和平派はあれに拠つて終戦運動を援助して貰つた格好である」。こうして、原爆は和平派にとって、戦争終結という大目的のために政治的に利用すべき「口実」として「非常に好都合なもの」（鈴木貫太郎首相）であった[30]。つまり日本の和平派が軍部の強硬派から襲撃を受けず、終戦の機会を得たことを意味している。https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9C%A8%E6%88%B8%E5%B9%B8%E4%B8%80

昭和20年8月 原子爆弾の投下と日本の降伏
... 7月に発表されたポツダム宣言に対して、日本は明確な反応を示しませんでした。当時、ソビエト連邦を仲立ちにした戦争終結のための交渉が行われていたからです。しかし、ポツダム宣言に反応しなかったことで、連合国は日本が戦争を続けると考え、8月6日には広島、9日には長崎に原子爆弾を投下しました。また、8日にはソビエト連邦が日本に宣戦を布告しました。 8月10日、御前会議で日本の降伏が決定します。この時から、のちに「終戦の詔書」と呼ばれる詔書の作成が始まりました。日本国民に対して、日本が降伏したことを伝えるために、内容は慎重に検討されました。14日の御前会議では、ポツダム宣言の受諾と、国民への玉音放送ぎょくおんほうそう(昭和天皇が詔書を朗読した音声をラジオで放送すること)が決定します。 終戦の詔書の文案については、8月14日の閣議で議論され、夜には昭和天皇による詔書朗読の録音が行われます。 そして、8月15日正午、いわゆる「玉音放送」が行われ、日本国民に対して、戦争が終結したことが告げられました。 空襲被害状況報告 ［請求番号： 返青29005020］

戸高一成 · 2018 ....というようなことを私実は喋ったんですがね、そのへんのところのウエイトですがね。あなたは非常に原爆にウエイトを置いておられますけれども、まあとにかく(終戦が)あまりに遅れましたよね。 私から言えば。海上護衛なんか本当にもう、あんなによく戦したもんだとつくづくそう思うんですが。
鳥巣 あの史実をね、ありのままにあのとき原爆をしてあそこで終わったんだと。 もし原爆がなければですな、もうちょっと続いたであろうと、続いて恐らく手を上げた (降参した)だろうと。 その間にですな、八月から十二月、オリンピック作戦が始まるまでの間ですね、数カ月の間に道路も中小都市もすべ て、機雷の敷設もやり、すべての陸海の交通は駄目になるだろうと、食糧は全然取れなくなるだろう。 もうとにかく日本
全体があれ(降伏)して、これはもう原爆がなくてもね、手を挙げざるを得なくなっているだろうと。
しかしそうなってからでは収拾つかないと、その数カ月前に原爆が落ちたから、あのような天佑神助と言える終戦に行ったんだというのが私の論なんですよ。
●アメリカ人が言う原爆投下の言い訳
寺崎 その他、内田(一臣・兵33)さん。
内田 アメリカ人の書いたいろんなメモあるんですね。 どうせあとで修正したりなんかしていますからね。なんか自分に都合の良いようにメイキングしているような、議論を そういうふうに引っ張っていったところがあるんじゃないかという、まあその感じを受けるわけですけれども。
例えばレーヒー(William D. Leahy) が書いてありますように、確か、こんな軍隊やら民衆やら一緒くたにして殺戮す るようなものは、兵器と言うべきものではないんだという、モラルの点からね。彼自身もそういうふうに思ったわけですね。
これは今も現在の問題でもあるわけですけれども、私はやっぱりそうじゃないかと思うんです。
四十何年経ってもやっぱり人が呻吟しなきゃならないようなものは兵器としてやっぱり使うべきじゃないという、人類 の大原則のようなものは、やっぱり私は立てとかんといかんのじゃないかという気が、すごくするんですけれども。

「核なき世界基金」創設
寄付受け付け開始
核兵器禁止条約が採択されてから3年となる7日、広島のカトリック教会の司教やNGOの代表などの呼びかけで核兵器廃絶に向けた活動を進めるための基金が設けられ、広島市で記者会見が開かれました。
「核なき世界基金」は去年11月、被爆地を訪問したローマ・カトリック教会のフランシスコ教皇が核兵器廃絶に向けた行動を呼びかけたことをきっかけに設けられ、核兵器禁止条約の採択から3年目の7日、寄付の受け付けが始まりました。
7日は広島市の世界平和記念聖堂で基金の呼びかけを行ったカトリック広島司教区の白浜満司教や、3年前にノーベル平和賞を受賞した国際NGOのICAN＝核兵器廃絶国際キャンペーンの川崎哲国際運営委員などが会見しました。
この中で白浜司教は「すべての被爆者や戦争の犠牲者の慰霊のため核兵器廃絶へ連帯していきたい」と抱負を述べました。
また、ICANの川崎委員は、「いつかは実際に核兵器を解体する資金も市民で集めるという気構えでやっていきたい」と意気込みを述べました。
「核なき世界基金」は被爆者などが海外へ出向いて被爆体験を話す活動や、海外の核実験による被害者への医療ケアなどの支援に充てられる予定で、一口500円から銀行口座などで寄付を受け付けるということです。
