JERSEY CITY, Aug. 26.-Addison E.
Southland of Louisville, KY, American
consul general at Hongkong and Macao,
who saw the fall of Hongkong said he
wanted TO warn Americans that ito stop
the Jap you've got to kill him" He re-
turned to the United States with other
refugees in exchange for Japs held in this
country.
I'VE have got to understand that in
this country" Southland said.
A short man with white hair, Southland
showed clearly in his shrunken figure the
effects of his long Imprisonment at Hong
kong. where he was held from the fall of
the crown colony in late December until
the end of June.
He said he had lost So pounds during
his incarceration, fact which was obvi-
Gus from the condition of his clothing His
suit hung loosely about his middle.
HAD WHAT IT TAKES
THE Jap soldiers" he said, were
tough boys but nothing special. They had
what it takes, however, when they took
HOngkOng.
"In addition to having tough military,
they had an efficient spy system in Hong
kong. i have been in the World War and
in two civil wars in Abyssinia and have
seen nothing compared to HongkOng for
violence"
Southland said his house was sheled
from the mainland, a distance of about
five miles, because the British had stra-
tegic telephone installations nearby
II tell YOU that" he said, ito show
what a spy system the Japs had"

L. $. AIR SUPERIORITY

One factor stood out in the pre-
liminary report of the engagement
that the American air forces had
the upper hand.
1t was considered likely that
American airmen were using air
fields seized from the japanese in
the SolomonS. A large, we'll
air field was captured on
Guadalcanal, one of the seized
islands.
The exact scene of the battle
was not known except that il was
in the Solomons area. The navy
said the enemy fleet approached
the southeastern islands of the
group from the northeast. indicat-
ing the attacking force may have
come from Truk Island. main

Entire Economic Life
Of Philippines Faces

Supervision Over All
Trade Is Exercised
! By Military offieioIs 49,.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-The entire
economic life of the Philippines is
to be vigorously organized" along
the lines of strict government con-
troll employed in Japan itself, Ber-
lin broadcast said today, quoting
the Toxic newspaper Asahi.
Supervision over all trade is ex-
ercised by japanese military au-
thorities," said the broadcast, with
financial control in the hands of
the Southern Development Bank, a
Japanese government-sponsored en-
terprise.
Organizations for control of the
mining and timber industries
already have been established, it
was said, and others are to be set
up for fisheries, cotton growing and
cattle breeding. Presumably these
will be similar to the monopolistic
government enterprises with which
the Japanese Army experimental in
Manchuria.
japanese broadcasts already have
reported that an effort will be made
to divert the extensive Philippine
sugar production, for which Japan
has little use, to other enterprises,
such as cotton growing.
Among mining industries under
control presumably are the Philip
pine ore deposits in which the jap
anese Army is intensely interested
for munitions production.
Another Berlin broadcast, quoting
Domei, said a group of 200 "Ameri-
can war prisoners Filipinos
would be released tomorrow.
These were officials formerly in
United States service who gave up
before American troops surrendered,

Oil Shipments 10 East
Decline for Third

BY the Associated Press.
Tank car shipments Of oil to the
East Coast declined to 766,410 bar
rels daily during the week ended
October 10, the lowest for any week
since July 10, the once of Petro-
leum Co-ordinator reported today.
OPC expressed doubt that the rail
movement of oil could be restored to
the record levels of August and
September.
Loadings in the week ended Octo-
ber 10 averaged ASIA barrels day
less than the preceding week. 1t was
the third weekly decline from the
peak of 856,710 barrels daily in the
week of September 10.
Hopes for 8O0, ,O00- Barrell Average.
although we are still hopeful
that we may be able to maintain a
daily average of 100000 barrels
through the winter, it Is becoming
increasingly evident that the assign
ment will be most difficult one for
the oil industry and the railroads"
Deputy Co-ordinator Ralp X. Davies
said.
"A number of factors, including
the necessity of diverting tank cars
for essential military use as we'll
as other special services, are operat-
ing now to retard the movement OF
oil to the Atlantic Seaboard and
may be expected to continue to
operate in that fashion. What the
result will be when there is added
the factor of winter weather no
one can predict"
Iekes Concerned.
Petroleum. Co-ordinator Ickes
earlier expressed concern over a
sharp decrease in industrial fuel oil
conversions on the Atlantic Sea-
board.
More heavy oil must be saved
through conversions" Mr.. Ickes as
serted. Our present conversion goal
for the saving of heavy fuel oil on
the Atlantic Seaboard is 10000, 900
barrels annually. The 10000, ,OOO-
barrel goal is not an arbitrary one.
1t Is based on survey made by OPC
of all residual fuel oil consumers
on the East Coast.
"Only 5000 900 barrels of this vol
ume has been converted to date. and
the most of these conversions were
completed last summer and early
this fall. Very few conversions have
been made in recent weeks"
While describing the cooperation
OF East Coast industries as very
encouraging" at the start of the
conversion campaign, Mr.. Ickes said
"much Of the lob is still to be done j."

lister Joseph Goebbels declared in q
speech at Munich yesterday that the

This year" he said, I'VE must take
the last but at the same time biggest
chance in our national history. We

opportunity than we have today"
He said that time was working for
the Axis powers, that Germany had
not been forced into a defensive
position, and that exploitation Of
victories against Russia would re-
quire only time and patience.
CA BBC version of the Berlin
broadcast by CHS quoted DR..
Goebbels as saying that to subdue
Stalingrad completely would take
heavy fighting, and as declaring
that the reason German planes
had not been carrying out heavy
reprisal raids on Britain was that
they were needed more urgently

caSus.)
