"The Allies have agreed that the German people must be given the opportunity to prepare for the eventual reconstruction of their life on a democratic and peaceful basis."

"If the Japanese Government does not accept our terms, they may expect a rain of ruin from the air, the like of which has never been seen on this earth."
