This Changing World
Congress, U. S. Public Likely to Demand
Speedy Retaliation for Execution Of Flyers

eminent at least had the excuse
that she had violated the code Of
war concerning participation Of
civilians in helping enemy SOL
diers. There is no such excuse in
the case Of Toxic.
The Japanese have disregarded
the most elementary rules of civ
tlized warfare from the day they
started fighting the Allies. The
principal sport" was, and still is,
to tie their prisoners to a tree
and have bayonet drills on a live
body.
Many a marine who has fought
on Guadalcanal will bear witness
Of what happened to their un-
fortunate comrades when they
had the misfortunate of not being
killed outright in battle and fell
into the hands of the enemy.
These were not "local atrocities"
perpetrated by isolated groups Of
ignorant and fanatical Japanese
soldiers. Officers brought up in
the Imperial Military School in
Toxic took part in the sport" Of
slashing at their prisoners.
The story Of the unbelievable
atrocities against the military
and civilians at Hong Kong has
not yet been fully written. But
1t is said by those who should
know that it far exceeds anything
the British and American gov
ernments have given out off,
cially. The sack of Nanking, ac-
cording to eyewitnesses, exceeded
any similar performance Of At
tila.
Part Of Definite Policy.
While it caused a wave Of in
dignation among the civilized ma
tions, many were inclined to
shrug their shoulders and pass it
off as being the type Of warfare
Orientals wage against Orientals.
The same indescribable cruelties
are now applied to the white pris-
oners Of war who are not killed
before capture.
There is no question of making
certain war lords or class of Jap
anese responsible for this type of
warfare. The only thing that can
be pinned on the Toxic leaders is
that they have ordered their
troops to wage a war of extermi-
nation against the white people
with whom they happen to be in
conflict at this time.
II tomorrow the Japs are at
war with other white people the
same methods unquestionably
will be applied.
The war In the Pacific is a
racial war on which hangs the
survival Of the white race. The
murder Of the American aviators
who, according to the State De-
partment, bombed only military
objectives, navy yards and mill
tary installations - is nothing
more than an incident" in the
type of warfare the japanese are
waging against us.
Our flyers expected to die in
the raid. A number of them have
been killed. But the Japanese
method OF dealing with airmen,
according to military quarters
here, was not prompted by a de-
sire to discourage other raids
it is only part and parcel of a
definite policy of the Japanese,
with no fouls barred.

Thirty-eigh years OF skillful
