TRUMAN PROCLAIMS THE
END OF
HOSTILITIES
Washington, Dec. 31. President Truman voluntarily stripped his Gov. ernment of sweeping emergency powers un- der 53 statutes when he formally proclaimed today "the termination of the period of hostili- ties of World War II as from 5 p.m. G.M.T. (1 am. Jan. 1 H.K. Time) today." President Truman stressed that his proclamation does not terminate the national emergency or state of war-and in respect of both these he will make recommendations to Congress shortly.

justice shall replace force, read
"With God's help this nation and our allies, through sacrifice and devotion, courage and per- severance, wrang final and un- conditional surrender from our enemies.
Thereafter, we, together with the other United Nations, net
