Negroes is not expected to get any
where in this country Colored
citizens have been among the most
patriotic in joining up. However
it is another matter in the Philip
pines. where Jap propaganda seems
to be having some effect. That is
why Macarthur ordered a lot Of
propaganda leaflets.
Reports received here are that
high Filipino officials have gone
over to the puppet japanese Gov
eminent much more than the pub
lie realizes.
Among them are the following:
Claro Recto, formerly Supreme
Court Justice, and former counsel
for foreign gold mines, now new
puppet Minister of Education.
Jose Yulo, former Minister of JUS
tice, and speaker of the House, now
Chief Justice of the Philippines.
Antonio de las Alas, Harvard
graduate who was former Minister
of the Interior, now Minister OF
Interior in the puppet cabinet.
Speaker Paredes of the House OF
Representatives and former Com
missioner in Washington, now re-
ported in the cabinet.
While some of these may have
been motivated by necessity and
a desire to protect the Filipino
people by cooperation, nevertheless
the Jap's chief appeal has been
on social grounds. The Japs have
rubbed home the fact that Fill
pinos were not admitted to Amerl-
can clubs, and this caste distinc-
ton, at least with some Filipinos,
has erased all of the excellent
colonization, the prosperity and the
virtual independence which the
United States had given the Fill
pinOS for years.

the Orient indicate that in some
areas almost as much damage has
been done by Japanese social prop

Week Drive

When the United Nations, under
the Supreme Command of Gen.
Douglas Macarthur, unleash their
general offensive against the Axis
in the southwest Pacific, India and
Asia sometime this spring, the
Spirit of Alaska heavy four
motored bomber-wen may be in
the vanguard of the attacking
forces.
Last week the designation of a
Flying Fortress to bear the name
of Americas far-flung northland
territory was made possible when
Alaskans went to their banks and
post offices in the final week Of a
five-week campaign and turned in
$150,369 for purchases of Series E
Defense Savings Bonds.
Passes Goal
These purchases, in the final week
of the five-week campaign for the
Spirit of Alaska brought the
total campaign sales, to $436, 552-a
figure which would permit the pur-
chase Of pursuit plane and light
tank, beyond the minimum pur-
chase price of the heavy bomber.
AS said at the beginning of
this campaign. the Spirit of Alaska
will be but one of many thousand
such planes that will be in service
before this year is over, but ii
will represent in powerful terms
our belief in the things for which
America stands" Acting Gov. E. L.
Bartlett said today. The campaign
was not so much a stunt as it was
a carefully planned and well ex-
ecuted drive to put impetus into the
general picture and to make the
detectives of the United States
Treasury Departments program
tangible and real to the average
person.

WASHINGTON. March l7-It Is
becoming more and more likely that
some drastic-and | mean drastic
confessional action will be taken
soon to provide government agen-
cies with new weapons to combat
fifth columnists and spies.
There is no serious criticism OF
the work being done by existing
agencies. But ever since Pearl
Harbor, there has been a growing
list of discovered fifth column ac-
tivities.
FBI agents recently picked up
more than so suspects in Dallas
County, Texas, with cameras, ra-
dies, weapons. Thirteen German
and Italian Aliens, all purportediy
in possession of munitions and 9TH
er suspicious equipment, were
picked up near an important air
plane factory in New Jersey.
There was a series of similar ar
rests in New Orleans. In San An
tonic, suspects were caught with
code books, maps Of vital military
establishments. binoculars, weapons
and gas masks.
