The Swiss have the ungrateful
task Of being exacting at both ends.
The internees in American camps
are getting approximately the same
food as our selectees and sanitary
arrangements are adequate. Swiss
diplomats must find, however, some

cusation from Berlin that they are
being partial and are not repre-
senting the true interests Of the
Axis.
Unless Swiss diplomats in WASH

Red Cross Seeks Delegate
For Philippines Supplies

By tie Associated Press.
Red Cross officials said last night
that difficulty in getting an Interna-
tional Red Cross delegate in Manila
apparently was holding up an agree
ment permitting it to dispatch sup
plies to Americans held prisoners by
the japanese in the Philippines.
The Red Cross announced some
weeks ago that negotiations for an
agreement were under way through
the International Red Gross in
Geneva.
The international delegate, who
must be a citizen or subject of a
neutral country, would oversee the
distribution of the supplies in the
Philippines.
Offlcials said that if no one was
found in Manila who could or would
undertake the task, arrangements
might be made for some suitable
persons to go there.
The negotiations, they pointed out,
are between the International Red
Cross and japanese authorities.

which are supposed to eat the house
from under you if-you don't watch
out.
The builder, whom we will call
Mr.. Jones, submitted plans for q

ing Administration for loan insur-
ance. A technical man scanned
the plans and told Mr.. j. that F. H.
A. wouldn't think Of insuring the
job without provision for termite
shields.
The decision suited Mr.. Jones,
and he hurried to the War Produc-
ton Board to obtain priority for
the shields. At the w. P. B. he was
told he couldn't get the priority be-
cause Washington had not been des-
ignated as a termite danger zone.

FiIipinos Will Fight On
From Behind Every
Tree,' E|iza|de Says
Commissioner Voices His
Confidence in Victory,
Despite Butuon's Loss
By the Associated Press.

B, the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, April Ill. M.
Elizalde, resident commissioner of
the Philippines in the United States.
said today that, despite the loss of
Bataan, "Filipinos will carry on the
fight, from every doorstep and from
behind every tree" until America
and her Allies return to blast the
Japanese from our islands"
But" Mr.. Elizalde asserted, "out
of this war must come a system OF
readjustment whereby all peoples
vanquished as well as victor-can
share. The privileges which
we are today fighting to preserve"
Addressing the Pittsburgh Amen
Corner, non-partisan association
composed chiefly of businessmen
and manufacturers, Mr.. Elizalde
said:
". have never been more
confident of the future than I am
today, despite the black news from
the fighting front"
Economic Aspects Reviewed.
Turning to the economic aspects
of the struggle, Mr.. Elizalde cited
the losses of sources of vital raw
material such as hemp, rubber,
sugar and tin incurred by Japanese
conquests in the Philippines and the
entire Pacific. Answering his own
rhetorical question as to whether
"the main object" of the war was
to "recapture for ourselves, this
great material wealth." Mr.. Elizalde
said:
mo, it seems logically simple (.
that we must shoulder and share
the responsibility of raising the
lands of the Southwestern Pacific
above their traditional role of a
mere prize for the passing pirate.
"Out of this war must come a
system whereby these people ina
| tives of the Southwestern Paciflc)
can share with victor and van
quished the prosperity and privi-
leges which we are today fighting
for"
Mr.. Elizalde conceded drafting
such system will be no simple
matter" but declared that unless
We can learn to make the raw ma
terials of the world accessible to all
nations, without prejudice to the
common people who produce them,
fear that this war will have been
fought in vain"
Langley Commander Speaks.
Capt. Felix D. Stump, former
commander of the United States
aircraft tender Langley, blasted to
the bottom of the Java Sea, de-
clared:
I'm very glad our people out in
the Asiatic receive no newspapers or
magazines in which they can read
about discussions between labor and
capital or about the 40-hour week,
or the continued production of lux
uries.
Il have repeatedly heard sailors,
airmen and soldiers who had been
in battle assert they wished they
knew that the people back home
would understand and believe that
in all branches of warfare the Allied
troops, regardless of nationality,
were superior to the Japs and all
they needed was support from
home"

Swiss attaches in Washington
may be described as statesmen of
mercy. 1t is not an easy job to
peddle that gentle quality when the
accent Is on war. They are hav-
ing the troubles which always fall
to the lot of go-betweens. Many
Washingtonians unthinkingly dub
Swiss diplomats as pro-Axis be-
cause Of the vigor with which they
represent Axis interest in this coun-
try.
The truth Is that Swiss diplomats
all over the world are in the diff
cult position Of having to play the
part of the devils advocate. They
have to extract the maximum con-
cessions from all belligerents in

Report on Camp Cited.
State Department officials who
read the report of a member of the
staff of the Swiss Legation who was
sent to investigate conditions in an
American concentration camp near
Camp Blanding, Fla, were a bit
disconnected. The Swiss diplomat
gave the camp a B minus rating
while the State Department had
confidentially expected an A plus
report.
Germans, italians and Hungari-
ans are interned in the camp for
the duration. The visiting Swiss
found that the food was good and
the treatment polite and consid-
crate. But the internees had many
complaints to make about their
wartime home The chief cause
of irritation was the fact that there
was not a single shade tree in the
