Response to editorial #14


Dear Daily Mirror,
            If the Americans will be using nuclear power against the Japanese, then I am compelled to say that the Japanese already have their fate sealed. The United States were triumphant over Iwo Jima and Okinawa only months earlier, which led them straight to Japan itself. It is either back down or die for the Japanese, whether it is death by bomb or death by troops, they will fall. However, nuclear weapons could alter our nature, and cause the new world’s leaders to become corrupt with power. This has become a very dangerous idea to toy with. I will be meeting with the Allies’ leaders and we shall discuss this weapon as well as the surrender of Japan.
–Winston Churchill
