White House Diners
Told Canada Prison
Camps Are Collegiate
Y. M. c. A. Workers Soy
Treatment Is Aid to
Men Held in Reich

A tale of Y. M. C. A. work in the
prison camps of Canada and Ger
many was told last night at the
White House at dinner given by
Mrs. Roosevelt for about 100 guests.
The affair was in the interest Of
the War Prisoners Aid Committee
of the Y. M. C. A.
DR.. Jerome Davis, director of the
work in Canada for the world COM
mittee of the Y. M. C. A., described
the origin of prisoner aid during
the first World War, which ended
with the Y. M. C. A. serving some
100000 prisoners in 20 nations in
camps from the United States to
Siberia.
In Canada, he said, there are 16
prison camps between the Atlantic
and Pacific in which are held not
only prisoners but some refugees.
THE Y. M. C. A. provides behind
the barbed wires" he said, "all the
activities that usually belong to
college life. To be sure, women are
barred, but otherwise all college ac-
tivities- are provided-education
musical athletic, recreational and
religious"
g. Throughout the world some So
600 volunteers among the prisoners
themselves conduct the programs
he continued.
The good care taken of the pris-
oners in Canada has helped in the
treatment of prisoners in Germany,
DR.. D. A. Davis, executive secretary
of the War Prisoners Aid of the
Y. M. c. A. with headquarters in
Switzerland, told the group.
He summed up the work being
done in Germany as including regu-
lar visits of secretaries to the camps,
helping the prisoner to realize that
someone outside the camp is in
tereSted in his welfare, furnishing
of libraries and books, musical in
struments. theatrical equipment. art
materials and the essentials for wor-
ship for all creeds.

Singapore Criticism
In London Centers
Around Leadership
Similar Lack Of Drive
In Civil Administrative
Ranks Also Charged
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 18.-Adverse re-
ports on Britain's leadership at
Singapore added fuel today to the
Simmering discomfort in some Brit
ish circles which have been demand
ing government changes.
The reports reaching here con-
cerning the fall of the Pacific bas-
tion emphasized that British leader
ship was far from forceful and that
something was lacking to crystal
lize and coordinate the spirit of the
islands defenders. >-s
A. similar lack of drive was said
to have characterized the upper
ranks of the civilian administration.
Intellectual civilian rule, these re-
ports averred; were the principal
cause of sAabor difficulties y which
made it necessary for soldiers
needed on the firing line to spend
time unloading ships in Singapore
harbor.
The situation was so bad, they
said, that early in the war only
about 800 out of $4,000 Asiatics en-
ployed at the naval base were re-
porting for duty.
From the military viewpoint. the
reports gave full credit to the Japa-
nese ability to make all arms CO.
operate for maximum effort. This
same capacity, they added, was in
ferior on the British side.
All accounts of the Singapore de-
feat ended on the same note-unless
more aircraft are made available in
the Pacific so that the United Ma
tions can gain an edge in the air
it will be difficult to hold the Japa-
neSe at sea and on the ground.
The Labor party held a discussion
on the general political situation
but reached no conclusions and will
continue the session tomorrow.
