1:14:01
to the realization
of the utter futility of war.
1:14:05
We have known
the bitterness of defeat,
1:14:10
the exultation of triumph,
and from both we have learned...
1:14:14
that there can be
no turning back.
1:14:17
We must go forward
to preserve in peace...
1:14:20
what we won in war.
1:14:22
The destructiveness
of the war potential...
1:14:26
through progressive advances
in scientific discovery...
1:14:29
has in fact
now reached a point...
1:14:32
which revises
the traditional concept of war.
1:14:37
War...
1:14:39
the most
malignant scourge...
1:14:42
and greatest sin
of mankind...
1:14:45
can no longer be controlled,
only abolished.
1:14:53
We are in a new era.
1:14:57
If we do not devise...
1:14:59
some greater
and more equitable means...
1:15:02
of settling disputes
between nations...
1:15:06
Armageddon will be
at our door.
1:15:11
We have had
our last chance.
1:15:32
Court, I want you to tell Washington
that I'm transferring food...
1:15:35
and medical supplies
to the Japanese authorities.
1:15:37
- Yes, sir.
- The next priority is to get those men home,
1:15:41
get them to work
rebuilding this country.
1:15:43
I don't know.
1:15:45
In terms of communication, transport,
industrial plant, there isn't any country.
1:15:48
Yeah, well, they'll have
to build a new one.
1:15:51
A new Japan
with new ideas...
1:15:54
but preserving the best of the old.
Yes, sir.
1:15:57
All of our troops
will be judged by me...
1:15:59
for their conduct as men
and as soldiers.
