Effort To Conclude War By The Associated Press Premier Kuniaki Koiso of Japan today pooh-poohed American bombing attacks on Nippon and threatened- “retaliatory measures which will be impossible for the enemy to forget” should the bomb ers “damage a remote corner of the sacred property held in rev erence by the entire nation.” The premier’s mention of t h e “sacred property” apparently was an oblique reference to the palace of the Mikado, whom the Japanese hold to be a descendent of their sun god. Koiso's address, broadcast by Domei news agency and recorded by the Federal Communications Commission, commemorated the attack on Pearl Harbor, or as the Japanese called it, “the third an niversary of the outbreak of the war of Greater East Asia.” Koiso charged the United States with broadcasting “extremely wily” propaganda and of “concoct ing astronomical figuies” of Japa nese war losses. On the other hand, he said, the United States never admitted its own losses, and when these are known the shock of Americans will be “beyond imagination.” Skipping reference to the Japa nese sneak attack on Pearl Har bor, the Domei broadcast quoted Koiso as saying United States leaders “forcibly dragged their people into the war without just aims” and are “turning to every means in their attempt to termin ate the war in as short a period as possible.” Koiso said this explained the “indiscriminate bombing of To kyo.” ARTILLERY ACTION BY LAWMAKERS IS DECLARED PROPER WITH U.
