THAI INFECTIONS
VARY WORD MEANINGS
"They are enabled to do so,
to their own satisfaction and to
the mystification of the invaders,
because ours is very difficult
language. The same word may
be pronounced different ways or
with different intonations or &C.
cents and each pronunciation,
each infection, each accent gives
the same word a different mean
ing.
"Thus q word might have six
different meanings. The Japs
may have sent with their invad-
ing forces men who think they
know the Thai language, but 1t is
doubtful they understand every
thing.
$50, a Thailander meeting a
Jap soldier, may say-'Maha
Mira On the face of it that
means-'big friend But if that
Thailander gives the words diff
ferent infection, it means-'dog
of friend That's pretty good
substitute for the G rm n
'schweinhund.' 4"
The Minister begged Ameri-
cans to reserve judgment about
his country and not believe all
the stories about Thailanders
warmly welcoming the Japanese
and proclaiming themselves as
allies of Japan.
He pointed out that as the
Japs had control of the cable,
the wireless and the mails in
Thailand, no news could come
out except such as was passed
by the censors of the "perfidious
Japanese"-his own words for
them-Japanese who, he said,
were proven liars in great things
and small.
1T is very probable" said the
Minister, that the Thailand
army did not attempt to resist
the big Jap contingents which
came across the frontier from
Indo-China, equipped fully with
all the modern implements of
war.
Americans should not criti-
CHE that. For our poorly-armed
10000 to resist the Japs would
have been like an infant of five,
carrying a toy pop-gun, trying to
resist a grown man armed to the
teeth with lethal weapons.
THAI MAY FOLLOW
DENMARK'S EXAMPLE
"Non-resistance, however, Is
far from welcoming them or be-
ing their allies. Like Denmark,
we were simply helpless before
superior force and with no coun-
try able to come quickly to our
aid.
"A ap-dominated puppet
government could not possibly
represent the feelings of the peo-
pie. We have behind us a record
of 700 years of independent ex-
istence and are not in favor Of
being liege men of the Mikado.
We have a different history from
the Japs, a different civilization,
a different tradition.
Here in Washington I am still
recognized as the Minister Of
Thailand to this country.
1T is not improbable that
patriotic Thailanders, who are
already abroad, joined by lead
ers who succeeded In getting out
of their invaded country, may
form a refugee Thai government
similar to those formed by Nor
way, Holland and other little
countries overrun by Axis gangs
tiers. II so, the chances are that il
would take quarters in Washing
ton rather than In London"

BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 28.-More
than 100 crewmen from the scuttled
German pocket battleship Admiral
Graf Spec have fled internment in
Argentina and at least six now are
fighting against the United Nations,
Juan Antonio Solari chairman OF a
congressional committee investigat-
ing nti-Argentine activities, said
today.
Solari made his assertion in an
interview forecasting the contents OF
a report which his committee intends
to make public next month.
He declined to give full details
concerning the report, but said it
would show clearly how numbers of
the interned Germans escaped by
organized methods and made their
way home to.rejoin Germany's fight
ing forces.
The Graf Spec was scuttled by her
captain off Montevideo in December,
1899, after being severely damaged
in a running fight with three out
gunned British cruisers of the South
American coast. More than 900 of
her officers and men were interned
in Argentina.
! Solari said his committee planned
to distribute photographs Of the
escaped Germans throughout the
Americas 80 they can be recognized
and apprehended."
It is entirely possible, he declared,
that some of these men now are

ing in South American waters, al
