greatly augmented in combat.

ONLY recently the nation was
given a pretty good idea Of
the japanese ruthlessness by the
threat to impose most drastic
punishment on the captive

raid over Toxic, which made
apparent the intention of the

international warfare. II adds

ing against Japan.
No item must be forgotten on
the day that the tab is handed

the old Masaic law, IAN eye for

and with plenty Of interest for

These are barbarianS we are
fighting and they have resolved
TO destroy the English speaking
white race, hence we must, in
the interests of our own self
preservation, do everything pos
sible to destroy them.

The Brighter Side

THERE will be more to re-
member than Pearl Harbor
in the hour, of our reckoning
with Japan. There will be the
massacre OF our wounded and
the mistreatment of our men and
women by the japanese mill
tary, as related by almost every
American who has returned
home from the japanese occu-
pied places.
While We have been treating
the alien japanese in this coun-
try with downright courtesy,
quartering them nicely, feeding
them we'll, pay them we'll, our
own citizens in the japanese
lands were being handled like
dogs.
They were being kick
around and starved and insulted.
Such are the tales of the actual
victims.
II there had been isolated
cases of mistreaument they
might be overlooked as inevi-
table TO the confusion and dis
order OF war and 10 temporarily
uncontrolled soldiery, but the
stories of the victims, reputable
Americans and many of them
trained newspapermen who can
distinguish between accident
and design in matters of this
nature. indicate that the brutal
ity has been general, systematic
and official.

To Even With Japs

and destroy out of innate
viciousness and whose hatred OF
Americans possesses them like
consuming disease. e.--
TT is not my nature to sing q
Il song of hate, but l say to
you that there are a peoples
who by their acts against our
men and women have set them
selves beyond the pale of -civili-
Zation and who must be treated
for what they are, vandals and
murderers.
They seek our utter destruc-
tion and that Of Great Britain
as they have officially threat
ened and therefore they must
be effaced from the realm of
world power forever. Their
cities must be reduced to dust,
their armament wiped out.
They are too bloodthirsty and
dangerous TO ever again be per-
mitted to roam beyond the mar
row confines of their own land.
Their treachery against this ma
tion at a time when they were
supposed to have reached their
highest state Of moral and in
tellectual development proves
that they can never again be
trusted.
They forced on us a war we
did not seek and ii has now be-
come more than just a war. It
has become a battle for our own
survival and it must be recog-
nized as such by all Americans.
