On the same day that the Rescript to the armed forces was issued, three Imperial Princes left Tokyo by air as personal representatives of the Emperor to urge compliance with the surrender decision upon the major overseas commands. The envoys chosen all held military rank as officers of the Army, and they had been guaranteed safety of movement by General MacArthur's headquarters. General Prince Yasuhiko Asaka was dispatched as envoy to the headquarters of the expeditionary forces in China, Maj. Gen. Prince Haruhiko Kanin to the Southern Army, and Lt. Col.

Orr, James J. (2009). "Reply to Tsuyoshi Hasegawa". The Journal of Japanese Studies. 35 (2): 503–504. ISSN 1549-4721. As noted in his response, Hasegawa translates and paraphrases the Sakomizu passage as " 'There was an argument advocating the quick termination of war by accepting the Potsdam Proclamation,' but in view of the army's opposition, the cabinet merely decided to send the investigation team to Hiroshima." It is closer to the original to translate the phrase in question as, " 'There was considerable advocacy [by cabinet members] for the prompt termination of war by accepting the Potsdam Proclamation," or, more directly, "The cabinet argued at length over ending the war promptly by accepting the Potsdam Proclamation."
