Japan"
The United States protest note
to the japanese government, as
made public by the state depart
ment, disclosed that the Japanese
claimed that the captured Ameri-
can airmen had admitted that they
had Intentionally bombed nom
military establishments and DELHI
.erately fired on civilians.
DURESS PRESUMED
The American note declared
that these japanese allegations
were false" pointed out that ii
is customary for japanese official
agencies to eXtort confessions by
torture and asserted that "if the
admissions alleged by the Japanese
government 10 have been made by
the American aviatorS were in
fact made, they could only have
been eXtorted fabricationS."
The American note, dated April
II, l943, reminded the Japanese
government that il had entered a
solemn obligation TO observe the
terms of the Geneva Prisoners of
War Convention and charged that
the japanese had .flagrantly vio-
lated this convention in their
treatment of the captured ,Ameri-
can aviators.
THE COVE { Of the
United States" the note con-
tinued. "ealls again upon the

ROOSEVELT STATEMENT

of the iliers was made by Presi-
dent Roosevelt IN the following
statement:
at II with "A feeling Of deep
est horror, which know will be
shared by all civilized peoples,
that ] have to announce the bar
barOus execution by the Japa-
neSe government of some of the
members OF this country's armed
forces who fell into japanese
hands az an incident of warfare.
THE press has just carried
the details of the American
bombing of Japan a year ago.
1.-THE crews OF two OF the
American bOmbers were cap
tured by the Japanese. On Oct.
10, 1912, this COVE rnme N I
learned from a japanese radio
broadcast Of the capture, trial
and severe punishment OF those
Americans. Continued endeavOr
was made 10 confirm those re-
ports from TOXIC.
DEATHS CONFIRMED
1T was not until March IL,
1913. that the American govern
ment received the eomHunica-
ton given by the japanese gov
eminent stating that these
Americans had i'm fact been
tried and that the death penalty
had been pronounced against
them.
1T was further stated that
the death penalty was com
muted for some but that the
sentence Of death had been APP
piled TO Others.
"fhis government has vigOr-
ously condemned this act OF
barbarity i'm formal commu-
nication sent to the japanese
government.
"In that communication this
government has informed the
japanese government that the
American government will hold

sible for these diabolical crimes

The American note TO Japan

part of the men, both pilots and ground crews. to concede that wo- men flyers were capable of hand ling the Air Force's gruelling non combatant assignments.
 In view of this, Jacqueline Coch- ran and Nancy Hardness Love, dir ector of the WAISTS, said not a Camp Davis on a lecture mission.
 "I had about the same opinion of women pilots that some taxi drivers have of women motorists " he said. Then one day, I was standing on the sands north of Camp Davis, watching anti-aircraft drill. One of those little baby carriages was tow ing a target sleeve 300 yards be- hind and pattern of ack-aek 100 yards square was being poured into it. That pilot had a dirty assign ment. I know. A konkout, a loss of flying speed, a sudden down or up draft and that little plane would have been in the soup. When 1t was over breathed easier and said nice

WAsPs. About 500 more will be in training at Sweetwater and Hous- ton, Texas, and 1000 additional will be awaiting training assign ments. That accounts for more than one half of the estimated 4,000 elig- ible women flyers in the country and constitutes one of the most sur prising service records in the war
 After a lot of off-the-record queries, I've come to the conclusion that the reluctance to give the fly ing danes their due was:
 CD Fear that they wouldn't make good and that the Army Air Forces would get the bird for even inaug- urating the program;
 (2) An innate reluctance on the word. However, it is now safe to talk a little The girls have proved themselves; the men have accepted them.

 the production of the field available for our use.
 When the five globe-circling Sem ators returned from their journey to the battle fronts of the war, they offered severe criticism of the auth critics for using so much United States oil and so little of that pro- duced in foreign countries, so the War Department now points out that this is an opportunity to use some Canadian oil and retain a cor responding amount of our own.
 Some of the members of the Tru- man Committee suggested that the refinery should have been located at Fairbanks instead of WhitehOrse and that the pipe line should have been run direct from Norman Wells to Fairbanks. General Pyron expressed the opinion that this was impractic- able and that opinion is understand able when one considers the diff culty of getting supplies to either end of such a line. The Alaska Rail road has been unable to undertake any such burden through lack of equipment, lack of manpower and condition of road bed, while on the other hand, the White Pass and Yu- kon Railroad has been transporting 10000 tons a month between Skag- way and Whitehorse.
 While the Truman Committee has not yet made it's report, that report when made will probably be highly critical and will recommend that the whole project be abandoned. How much of this conclusion will be based upon fact and how much upon second-guessing and kibitzing is for any observer to judge. But we should not lose sight of the fact that the war is not yet over or the possibility that before the end of the war there will be a movement of airplanes and other instruments of war through northwestern Canada and Alaska that will completely justify any oil production in that area, even if the gas should cost five times the normal price. It is deserving of note that as late as Oct. 16, 1943. The joint Chiefs of Staff embracing Generals Marshall and Arnold and Admirals King and Leahy reviewed the Canol project and ordered it's completion as "nec- essary to the war effort"
 Soldier Voting
 The likelihood of the passing of any soldiers voting bill becomes more and more remote. This is one
The Wrangell sentinel., 1943-12-10

of the numerous cases where every body has his. own individual ideas and where conflicting views and suspicion may prevent action. Most of the representatives from the poll tax states are opposed to the bills in their present form because they waive poll tax requirements and that waiver is said to be uncon- stitutional Some of the Republican members whose integrity cannot be questioned are fearful that the par ty in power will somehow gain an advantage from making it possible for the soldiers to vote. One of the Democratic Senators who served as an officer in the first World War told me privately that he was op- posed to any legislation because he said that from his experience gained in France in 1918 he was sure that the soldiers were not at all inter ested in voting and that a popular and aggressive officer could pro- bably get 90 % of the soldiers under his command to vote according to his request and that the soldiers were concerned with getting the war over and then returning home and not trying to spell out who might be the best candidate for el- ection to the Senate of the House of Representatives or as President. However most of the members a. gree that it should be made possible for the soldiers to vote in some simple fashion but the question is how to go about it. In the mean time, no action has been taken to include Alaska and Hawaii with the States in the legislation now before Congress.

 "I was dumbfounded"
 The WASPS are women Is to 34 years of age They have to have at least 35 solo hours before they can apply for training. At Davis, there are stenographers, school teachers, chemists, newspaperwomen, book keepers and a few just plain house wives.
 They not only tow targets, they do tricky night flying to provide practice for the searchlight crews dodge all over the sky for flack aim ing drills, and in general every thing there is to be done in non-com- bat service. They live in barracks, but unlike the WACs they aren't a part of the Army. They get S15O a month base pay in training and S25O in service, out of which they pay barracks rental and officers mess fee.

ON THI1E WASHINGTON FRONT
By JACK sTMNETT

WASHINGTON = Just why the Army Air Force has kept it's women flyers under censohship wraps for so long is one of those minor capital mysteries.
 More than a year ago, the Wo- mems Auxiliary Ferrying Service (WAAFS) was active but very little was said about it. At Camp Davis, N. C., nearly 200 WASPS (Wo- mems Airforce Service Pilots), an outgrowth of the WAAFS) are do- ing some of the toughest combat flying known-all women trained under the direction of we'll known Aviatrix JacQueline Cochran.
 Before many weeks there will be at least 500 women flyers in the
