The use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender. . . .
In being the first to use it, we . . . adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages. I was not taught to make war in that fashion, and wars cannot be won by destroying women and children.
It is my opinion at the present time that a surrender of Japan can be arranged with terms that can be accepted by Japan and that will make fully satisfactory provisions for America's defense against future trans-Pacific aggression

Reducing consumption of resources needed for the military
Explanation:
The federal government asked the population to reduce their consumption as much as possible, since they were facing a total war.
Total war is a term of the twentieth century that describes a war in which countries or nations mobilize and force to the limit all available resources, whether human, military, industrial, agricultural, natural, technological, scientific, or of any other kind, to totally destroy the ability of another country or nation to engage in a war. The practice of total warfare has been used for centuries, but it was not until the mid-nineteenth century that it was recognized as a different way of waging war.
