a real fight, and we'll all have
to work hard and fight hard to-

THE planes they use are very
good, and so are their pilots.
They have a lot of both when
they need them, too. They're

Captive Jap
Reveals Grim
EnemyOrders
BY GLENN BABB

From a captive Japanese cor
poral of artillery, prisoner OF
war and therefore to his own
people one of the living dead,
comes a grim and timely re-
minder of the character of the
foe we face in the Pacific. Taken
somewhere along the blood
soaked New Guinea beaches
from which General MacAr-
thurs Americans and Australi-
ans are slowly expelling the en-
envy, he provided one explana-
ton of the death-but-no-sur-
render stand of the Japanese on
that front. He and his mates had
been assured by their officers
that the son of heaven himself,
that awful majesty behind the
moated palace walls in faraway
Tokyo, had commanded his
soldiers to fight to the last man.
Now this is nothing new. A
year of war has convinced his
adverSaries that the japanese
soldier fights with a fanatical,
fatalistic disregard of death
that is tremendous asset to
the military command which ex-
ponds him with little more COM
junction than its inanimate re-
sources. This is one reason we
may be fighting the Japanese, on
the Pacific, on the Asiatic con-
tinent, in the home islands of
Nippon, long after Hitler and
Mussolini have gone to whatever
doom awaits them.
NO PERSONAL CONCERN
We can be skeptical as to the
Mikado's personal concern about
the behaviour of the corporal
and his mates. AS things are run
in Japan at war, Hirohito, an in
effectual figurehead, probably is
told little of what happens at
the front, especially if the news
is bad. But we can not ignore
the mighty weapon which The
Japanese soldiers worship of
the emperor places in the hands
of the High Command.
