got through from America during
all our months of fflternment
Did the Jap soldiers attack the
white women? Yes.
AS an example: The British estab-
lished a small advance hospital at
the Jockey Club at the race course
in Happy Valley, which is near the
center of Hong Kong. There were
no British soldiers guarding the
place, and when the Jap soldiers
arrived they proceeded to take the
British nursing sisters two by two
and used them time and time again
during the night. One escaped by
crawling through shell hole and
passing through groups of Japanese
soldiers. She finally reached the mill
tary hospital, from whence help was
sent to the girls.
Although / thought my days Of
imprisonment a tragedy at the time.
I later considered myself one of the
fortunates. When the japanese
troops conquered Hong Kong, they
we're given three days of liberty to
take or do anything they wished.
Attacks were not confined to Chinese
women. but included Filipinos,
Portuguese, French, British. One
of my close friends who lived in
Happy Valley said the sound OF walls
and cries during those days will
! haunt her forever. Nor will I
ever forget the story of the 14-year-
| old girl to whom l talked.
Civilians Tortured.
! I could tell you of more torture
! and mistreatment. I could tell you
of Jap soldiers slapping civilians
for no reason, or making them stand
for hours holding a stick above their
heads. I could tell you of many
abnormal restrictions.
l wish I could tell you everything
I know-for then you would re-
alize you are fighting for civili-
zation, that your enemies are men
of medieval standards. without
honor, without pity. You would
work harder, faster, longer. The
American soldiers and sailors and
flyers in the Far East know what
they are up against. We can depend
on them. But it is up to us at home
to keep. supplies going to those men
faster, faster, faster.
The Jap soldier brags of the day
when he will walk into Washington.
Fantastic? No--not unless we stop
him in his flood Of China.

Those of us who have returned
from Hong Kong beg you to know
that your enemy is an animal, his

astrous to all the standards OF
democratic civilization. It's up tc
you to stop him.
