University Of South Gives
Lord HuIifux Deqree

By the Associated Press.
SEWANEE. Tenn, April e.-Lord
Halifax, British Ambassador to the
United States, said today he saw
very little hope for the world unless
the American and British peoples
could work together as one in the
solution of problems now and after
the war.
The Ambassador, accompanied by
Lady Halifax, came here to receive
an honorary degree Of doctor of civil
law at special convocation Of the
University of the South.
IF we can truly work as one we
shall reach an end which we can
feel not unworthy of the price which
shall have been paid" Lord Halifax
said In brief extemporaneous ad-
dress before the degree was con-
ferred upon him.

Organization of 444 labor-man-

5000 900 tons of shipping this year.

From press dispatches it appears
that the Japanese made a decisive
break through along the Manila Bay
side OF the American lines.
This area is pie-shaped. slice of
rice paddles extending into the hills
being the only fiat portion of the
peninsula.
There the American positions were
exposed to shell fire from Japanese
guns behind Mount Natib and also to
low-level dive bombing and straflng
attacks. Japanese tanks and mech
anized units also could operate
there
If the Japanese now are able to
occupy all of Bataan, the position of
Corregidor will be critical since it
will be under artillery siege from
both north and south.
japanese guns can completely
block Manila Bay, making it impos-
sible for supplies to reach Corregi-
dor. which either must fall through
attrition or direct assault.
AS long as its supplies last. how
ever, Corregidor can make any jap
anese storming attempts extremely
costly.

eating rice and canned salmon.
There was difiiculty in obtaining
sufhcient rice for the Filipino SOL
diers. to whom it Is a most i'm
pOrtant food.
There was insufficient wire for
entanglements and field telephones,
although the Signal Corps did q
magnificent job Of maintaining
communications.
Only Handful Operating.
Only a handful of small craft
mostly tugs and launches-were
operating between Bataan and Cor
regidor at the time l left.
Unless evacuation operations were
begun some days ago, 1t is unlikely
that many of Gen. Wainwright s
troops could have been ferried across
from the mainland to Corregidor
fortress.
Certainly little of their equipment
could be saved, although it is likely
that the guns were decommissioned
and, If there was time, that all sup
plies on Bataan were destroyed.
The distance from Corregidor to
Bataan is more than miles at the
nearest point. Strong currents and
numerous sharks make it unlikely
that many swimmers could make it.
However, many American soldiers
and officers had plans to avoid cap
ture if Bataan fell If successful
they eventually will make their way
to unoccupied territory where they
hope to live of the country and op-
crate in guerrilla bands.
While / lack knowledge of the
exact number of American and Fill
pino forces on Bataan, it is esti-
mated that they never exceeded TO-
600, of which only a portion ac-
tually we're combat troops.
The Americans are estimated not
to have exceeded 5000, including the
3lst Infantry, Air Corps men,
marines and sailors fighting as in
fantry; aircraft regiments, sup
ply troops, engineers and the medi-
cal corps and nurses.
End Was Inevitable.
The end for Bataan was, of course
inevitable.
Knowing the men of Bataan as ]
know them, am sure many of them
died firmly believing help was on the
way.
Many told me they had rather die
than be captured.
