The reports indicated til a I
Homma committed the act in Mac
Arthur's plushy penthouse suite
and that his ashes were flown 10

doggedness of the men whom he
had tried 10 rout.
MacArthur's recapture OF Bal
anga shortly preceded the suicide
of this suave. frustrated man, who
was the japanese army's leading
expert on the western world.
To the men of Bataan il was a
more important victory than the
destruction by American artillery

Not even the reports that
Homma's place had been taken by
Lieut.. Gen. Tomoyuri Yamashita,
fiercely grinning conqueror of
Singapore. dampened the enthu-
siasm Of the men.
With Yamashita undoubtedly
came fresh men and new armor,
but preliminary thrusts by the

They'll Keep Fighting,

Macarthur remains in command
Of Bataan and Corregidor.
His physical presence is gone,
but his spirit stays there and his
orders come barking up from the
south by radio.

They will fight with redoubled
vigor, for they know that he will

But living or dead, victorious or

This was no day to tell his men

Macarthur even TO think about
the task Of leaving them, while
they stood around him to receive

One way of saying that a thing
hasn't any value is to say: ITS

That's really reference to
Americas first experience of in

In something like seven years,
the value of the Continental cur

one refusing to accept Continentals
in payment of debt should be treat
ed as a public enemy, but even
that didn't help.
At the end the destruction was
complete. There was lots of
money everywhere, but it wasn't
worth a cent. Actually not worth
a cent. Alexander Hamilton after
the war was over, proposed that
the Continental bills be redeemed
at the rate of one cent for each
dollar, but this idea was abandon
ed when it was found that such a
fee seldom covered the cost of col
lecting the bills and offering them
for redemption.
That's why we say mot worth
Continental" Today this is just
shop-worn catch phrase, a phrase
we use without being conscious of
its beginnings, but to many of our
ancestors it spelled disaster and
want.
None of us want the day to come
when we are forced to say of the
money paid us in wages and in
profits, in fees or royalties: Its
not worth a Continental"
Now frankly, We do not expect
that we shall have that sort of run
away initiation. But we do face the
serious prospect of sharply higher

we suffered tremendous losses.
These losses fell on everybody,
