Eden Reveals jap
Atrocities Against
British Captives

LONDON, March 10. cUP)--FOr-
ign Secretary Anthony Eden al
serted in the house Of commons to-
day that testimony Of eye-WitneSSes
had established the fact of Japa-
ncsc atrocities against military pris-
oncrs and civilians AT Hong Kong.
He charged that % Officers and
men OF the British army, bound
hand and foot had been baEoncted
to death.
Women. both Asiatic and Euro
ppan, were raped and murdered ard
Cne entire Chinese district was de-
clarcd 4 brothel regardless of the
status Of inhabitants he said.
"AtrocitiCS were similar TO the
harbaritieS which aroused horror
at the time Of the Nanking mas
sacre in 1897
NO DISTINUI1ONS
He said that the atrocities were
committed without distinction as
to race and color
All survivors of the British gar
rison, he charged, were herded in
4 camp of brick huts without doors,
windows, lights or sanitation.
The dead were buried in cor
ner of the camp" he said.
NO drugs or medical facilities
were supplied"
He said that the japanese would
not bear independent investigation
as they had refused permission for
a representative of the international
Red Cross committee to visit the
camp.
STORIES VERIFIED
The government was unwilling
to publish any accounts of Japa-
neSe atrocities until they were con-
firmed beyond the possibility of
a doubt" he said.
unfortunately there is no longer
room for doubt
IT is most painful to make such
a statement publicly But two things
are clear to the country and the
world.
First the Japanese claim that
they are animated by lofty chiValry
is nauseating hypocrisy. secondly
the enemy must be utterly defeated
and we can best eXpleSs our SYM
pathy with the victims of these
appalling outrages by rcdoubling
our efforts to ensure his utter and
overwhelming defeat"

MORALE IN GERMANY

Reports seeping out of Nazi-and tend to sub stantiate statements from England that the morale of the German people is nearing the shattering point centers.
 Even ruined Cologne still burned all air raid precaution services were placed under the command of Gestapo chief Heinrich Hmmler The order for this step was signed by fat Reichmarsha Hermann Wilhelm Goering, who promised the German people that no British bombs would fall on them.
 More than 250000 Nazi stormtroopers have been stationed at strategic points throughout Berlin in order to prevent workers uprisings. Men and wom- en who talk about the effectiveness of the British raids are dealt with.
 These latest raids the terrible attacks which were predicted for this war by minded men who foresaw the potential might of the air branch of the armed forces.
 We have no doubt but what the morale of the German people is near the breaking point When l.250 planes drop 60oOOOo pounds of bombs on you as the British did in the Cologne raid morale is something and fear and terror other things
 When the British dropped the 5000 tons of ex- plosves Cologne the damage caused could scarcely have been exaggerated Cologne for all practical purposes, was destroyed
 Something had happened which the German people had been told would not happen. The news has spread throughout the Reich and the people know that the Cologne affair the first of many more to come.
 The growing aerial might of the United States and Britain indicates that the next raids will be larger and more terrible.
