Arthur Forbes, Publisher and Managing Editor of the New York Herald
Express and Staff Reporter Jason Scott were requested to be at the
White House in Washington, D. C. the following morning to meet with
the President of the United States for an important meeting. The
year was 1944.
Franklin D. Roosevelt explained to them that the United States
would have to invade the Japanese homeland to end the war with
Japan which would result in American casualties of at least one
million men. Or he could sanction using a weapon that was more
horrifying than any weapon ever created by man. He was referring to
the atomic bomb which had recently been perfected and was ready to
be made operational. Optimism ran high that the bomb would be a
huge success and that it would end the war almost immediately.
Roosevelt explained that it had been decided that the humane
thing to do was to warn the Japanese what fate was in store for
them. Forbes and Scott wondered how they could be of help to the
president. The President of the United States was put in a position
where he had to trust someone whom the Japanese respected and who
could bring a highly secretive message to them. Scott was the
logical choice. It was to be the beginning of a career that would
catapult Scott into international fame and fortune.
