Japan's New Order

was creating new order Tn the East It going to be something which would make western ciVliZa- tlOn blush for shame when would see it's tenetS eXempllfed. We'll treated to the first act of that eXempifcation on December 7th, 1941. day which will long be remembered in American history when, without the slightest proVocation Japans air force unmercifully bombed Island possession of Hawaii killing and maiming civilians and military alike Wanonly burning and destroying property. This demonstration of Japans order occurred at 815 A. M, Sunday, December 7th and at time when the church bells were ringing and the residents of peaceful Honolulu attending religious services.
 While the invasion of Honolulu taking place, JapanS JanuS-faced emlSSary negotiating with State Department in Washington, D. C., profess ing in all apparent Soemnity Japans desire for peace
 Evidence of the well-lad plot to attack the posS- eSsiOns of the United States become manifest The island of Wake Midway, Guam and the Philip pines were simultaneously attacked All the sea, air and land power of the Japanese empire brought into action and synchronized with such precision that there is not the slightest doubt of the long premedi- tated plan of attack
 This well conceived prearranged plot to strike with all the destructive fury of at island posses sions while were off guard, due to the Japanese envoy plenipotentiary being in friendly conference with our Secretary of State at the time convcts the Japanese Government before the world, as being guilty of perfdy black as night.
 After several days of fighting on the island of Luzon, in which the American forces were on the de- fenSlVe, General MacArthur having in mind the pre- serVation of the lives of non-combatants, as we'll as the protection of property declared Manila the cap ial, open city and notified the Japanese govern ment Such procedure being provided for under inter national law The Japanese themselves being one of the signatories to such agreement understanding of comparatively recent date To prove the sincerity of his declaration, if proof necessary, General MacArthur removed all units of military and naval defense, portable equipment ammunition stores etc and left the city undefended with street lights and all public buildings unconceaed and in open view. The Japanese government duly advised of all this and the following day made air inspection Of the city sweeping low that the residents could see the pilots No shots exchanged No evidence. of defense of any kind manifested General MacArthu kept his word.

No Less than "A hours easped when a unit of the Japanese air squadron swept over de- fenseless Manila and flying as low as 200 feet above the ground ndiscriminately bombed and destroyed the heart of the city Not shot fired in defense Again and again the planes returned to view their work of destruction and Wreak further devastation upon the helpless inhabitants. The atrocouSneSS of this attack has parallel in history. General Mac Arthur himself states that nunS doctors and nurses, priests and missionaries, engaged in administering to the wounded and dying were Strated with gunre and killed while performing acts of mercy This is how the second act of the order was eXempllfed
 Japan was not alone in the creation of the new order In fact she is but of the paWns in the game
 The order in council might have been signed by Emperor Hrohito, but there an invisible hand behind the throne which directed Japans every which reminds us of the Scrptural quotaton:- "Thy voice is Jacobs but thy hand is the hand of Esau. That directing hand other than the blood- stained hand of Adolph Hitler The same hand which directed the Blitz Poland the invasion of the de- fenseless peaceoving people of Norway the occupa- of Denmark; the destruction and utter demolition of Rotterdam, which like Manila declared an open and defenseless city. Here the Fuhrer had to his credit the killing of 000 innocent inhabitants in less than hour This is the same plan of campaign re- enacted by Japan today.
