The order, broadcast by the New Delhi radio, was in accordance with the surrender procedure outlined in Manila by Gen. MacArthur, who said “responsibility for that portion of the Southwest Pacific area which lies south of the Philippines will be assumed by British and Australian commanders.” The Japanese in Burma, who have lost approximately 12,000 men in bloody fighting in recent weeks, are continuing the struggle, apparently under the pretext that they do not know the war is over, said Rangoon dispatches.
