must either rise or fall.
Il have been told it is a disgrace
to be captured and that I can never
return home. However, after the
war I would like to go back TO
Japan. but that depends on you.
If America could fix it so We
wouldn't be disgraced, all of us
would like to 60 home and stay
there. We don't want any more
wars. I am happy to find myself
being treated by doctors and as soon
as am able I will do any work you
want.
"As to this war. we know Japan
can never invade the American con-
tinent and America car never invade
Japan. We we're told America
would fight only in the Eastern Pa
cific in naval enga agements and that
Japan could occupy the entire Pa
cific as far as Hawaii"

EIotion Is Expressed
Over Roid on Gilbert
And Marshall Groups

Secretary of State Hull conferred
at length today with Eelco Nicholas
van Klefens. Netherlands Foreign
Minister, and DR.. A. LOudon, Dutch
Minister here.
The Secretary said their discussion
related to a general interchange Of
information and ideas in connec-
ton with important phases of the
international situation, but did not
disclose details.
Asked if the question of a United
command for the United Nations
forces in the Pacific was under dis
cussion, Mr.. Hull said he would
have to let other officials speak on
that point.
Van Kleffens Encouraged.
Mr.. Van Kleffens, while avoiding
discussion of the question of a
unified command in the Pacific,
told reporters after the conference
with Mr.. Hull that he was gratified
and encouraged by the general pic
ture of Allied cola aboration in that
area.
He spoke enthusiastically of the
United States Navy's successful
raids on japanese bases in the
Marshall and Gilbert Islands. de-
claring that offensive action is
what We are aiming at"
"As you know" the foreign min
lister continued, that is what We
have been trying to maintain in our
area of the Pacific. You will have
noted that We have been putting to
good use the weapons you have sent
us. All We ask is that you just keep
them coming along"
Secretary Hull also expressed Ella
ton at news Of the Nays offensive
action. telling his press conference
that news of the attacks on the jap
anese bases would be very encourag-
ing and most inspiring to all the
forces fighting the Axis.
Ell Salvador Gets Aid.
Just before Mr. Hull received the
Netherlands representatives, he and
DR.. Don Hector David Castro, Min
lister of Ell Salvador. signed a lease
lend agreement under which it is
understood Ell Salvador will receive
more than 100000 worth of mill
tary supplies from this country. The
agreement is one of a series being
negotiated with the Latin American
republics.
The Secretary also conferred dur
ing the morning with Capt. Colon
Eloy Alfaro, Ecuadorian AmbasSa-
cor. He told reporters later that mat
ters of extended collabora ton were
under discussion. with view of de-
veloping some phases of relations
with Ecuador which he could not
discuss publicly in detail at present.

Il thought then that I was going

when American artillery started
shooting at us from three directions.
I had never been under fire before

have only rifles and machine guns.

the Treasury.
Discussing the law which requires
the Treasury to buy Silver until it
reaches S1.29 an ounce or until the
accumulations reach one-fourth Of
the stock in the country, the Secre-
tary said:
Right now the situation is that
there is more and more use of silver
for industrial purposes and We can
not sell any of the silver We have,
with the result that Canadian and
Mexican silver is going into indus
trial uses and, with our mines pro-
ducing it, We buy it and put it
away. -
Our domestic 4sers of silver are
entirely at the mercy OF the foreign
people as to what they charge. but
so far they have not abused it.
However, If one of the foreign silver
countries tomorrow wanted to charge
so cents or 60 cents, they could do
it and We could not do anything
about it."
The world price is IS cents an
ounce and the domestic price is
Till cents-the difference repre-
senting the subsidy to silver pro-
ducers, Mr.. Morgenthau said.

to the combat areas in the far Pa
cific. Since they are also Japans S
easternmost possessions they prob
ably served as headquarters for sub
marines operating off the Pacific
coast and as the starting points for
attacks on various American islands
in the mid-Pacific.
ANY Gripping OF them naturally
would limit such activities as well
as curtail raids the enemy might
otherwise be able to make against
conveys of reinforcements from this
country to combat areas in the West
ern and Southwestern Pacific.
Despite the disappointing failure
to catch large japanese warships
there, the heavy raid carried impli-
cations of important tactical ac-
complishments.
While the communique left the
impression that naval aircraft car
ried out most Of the destruction. 1t
said japanese installations had been
hit hard by shellfire.
While there was no disposition
here to minimize the essentially
grave situation of the Allies in the
Western Pacific-with Singapore
Island besieged, a strong enemy
force at Moulmein seeking to cut
Chinas Burma Road lifeline, and
increasing activity against the
Netherlands Indies-it was noted,
nonetheless, that the japanese had
found the going increasingly dif-
ficult in the last 10 days.
In three outstandingly victorious
Allied-American and American ac-
tions-the battle of Macassar
Strait, the feet raid on the Mar
shall and Gilbert Islands and the
smashing of the Corregidor invasion
scheme-it appeared that the en-
emy had lost untold thousands OF
men and dozens of ships sunk or
damaged
The significant departure in Al
lied strategy in the raid on ia
pans mid Pacific bases was de-
cribed here as the fact that 1t was
a strictly offensive action on large
scale. 1t was to prevent just such
offensive use of the fleet while
they were attacking far and wide
in the Western Pacific that the
japanese made their treacherous
assault on Pearl Harbor.

Canadian Ship Rommed Two

AN EASTERN CANADIAN PORT,
Feb. 2 pa Canadian merchant
ship rammed two objects believed
to be enemy submarines in the At
lantic, according to member of
the crew on the vessel which ar
rived here for repairs.
The possible destruction of third
submarine by gunflre was reported
by crewmen of a British ship which
reached Canada with 80 survivors
of torpedoed tanker.
They said the keel of their ship
brushed an object just at dusk and
that in q few minutes the outline
of U-boat appeared so yards away.
Gunners aboard the British ship
opened fire and the submarine dis
appeared.
Collisions Close Together.
From the Canadian ship came this
account:
The fourth engineer on the ship
said the collisions came at night
within a few minutes of each other.
Shortly afterward, two Canadian
corvettes reached the scene and
dropped depth charges for an hour.
1T was just after 8 o'clock when
We felt the first shock" said the
sailor. whose name can not be re-
vealed. The ship kind of faltered
and then seemed to plunge ahead.
I think it was about five minutes
after when we hit the second.
AT first, thought we were tor
pedoed but there was no explosion.
Then I thought we hit apother
ship. As far as know, the lookout
didn't see anything.
Depth Charges Dropped.
"Only a few minutes later, two
corvettes started dropping depth
charges all around us. guess they
picked up the sound of the motors
when the subs turned them on to
dive. Altogether, counted 18 depth
charges.
I'VE all thought we were goners
and expected to get a tin fish in
us any time, but we had no more
trouble. The bow was smashed in
little. but there wasn't any real
danger from sinking"
