:45:00
...the United States, Great Britain,
China and the Soviet Union...
:45:04
...that we accept their joint declaration.
:45:08
The enemy has made use
of an inhuman bomb...
:45:11
...and is subjecting innocent people
to grievous wounds and massacre.
:45:18
To continue the war would not only
lead to the annihilation of our nature...
:45:23
...but the destruction of human
civilization as well.
:45:28
How could we protect our innumerable
subjects, who are like newborns for us?
:45:34
How could we ask forgiveness of the
divine spirits of our imperial ancestors?
:45:39
When our thoughts dwell on those,
our subjects, who died in battle...
:45:44
...and those who perished
by premature death...
:45:47
...and on the families they left behind
them, we feel profoundly upset.
:45:52
lt is our desire to initiate an era
of peace for future generations...
:45:56
...by tolerating the intolerable
and enduring the unendurable...
:46:02
...remembering our
heavy responsibilities...
:46:04
...and the length of road
yet to be covered...
:46:07
...and concentrating all our strengths
on the construction of the future...
:46:12
...animated by deep morality
and firm honesty.
:46:20
We swear to hold the flower
of our national policies high...
:46:24
...resolved not to remain backward
in the general progress of the world.
:46:29
We ask you, our subjects,
to be in the incarnation of our will.
:46:38
Am l to take it that...
:46:43
...the war is over?
:46:56
Yes, the war is over.
