CHUNGKING, Dec. l3.-Japanese
troops in China are getting precious
little news about Axis reverses, for
eign correspondents found out today
in talk with prisoners of war in
a camp in downtown Chungking.
Nine Japanese privates in the
group and two non commissioned
officers among the prisoners said
they had not heard of Allied re-
conquest of Gaudalcanal or the
German disaster at Stalingrad.

peasants were hostile to the gov

fixed low prices and leaves them far
from enough to eat,

He asserted all Japanese troops
were issued gas masks as a part of

Sergt. Katsm seemed a little con-
fused in his ideas. He said he be-
lieved in implicit obedience to or

fallible and said, Il was fighting for
his majesty"

other islands.
Rationing also was instituted, ex-
ports controlled and steps taken to
check rising living costs, partially
through subsidy payments. Con-
struction Of United States air and
naval bases and temporary move
ment OF agricultural labor to the
United States helped alleviate un-
employment caused by war restric-
tions on commerce, the report
added.
U-Boats Shelled Harbors.
These manifold problems, eco
nomic and social, we're pressing from
a purely humanitarian point of
view" the report said Moreover,
from the standpoint of the four
freedoms for which we fight, they
were secondary only to the actual
military defense of the Caribbean
region"
At one time, the analysis said,
U-boats even sailed brazenly into
undefended harbors," destroyed
shipping and shelled some places
with the result that the islands
food reserves dropped so low that
the residents lived from ship to
ship"

perb. the most popular craft in the
hospitals is making fishing flies. For
the men who have lost the use OF
their hands or arms there is instruc-
ton by the very best experts in voice
recording or proofreading or train
ing in some literary field. Not only
does this entertain the men and help
to relieve boredom and apathy and
help them to get we'll mentally and
physically. but it often lays the
groundwork for what may be per-
manent avocation.
Sick people, Mrs. Liebes tells us,
have no inhibitionS and this Is the
first step toward successful art. Of
ten men who seem diSintereSted at
first will match one of the experts
at a drawing or making boat
model or doing some leather work
and become so interested watching
that he will ask to be allowed to
try it for himself And once he
tries it he becomes so fascinated
that he goes right ahead.
Here for the launching of the
project in Washington Mrs. Liebes
paid great tribute to the artists who
have made it possible. Not only has
she found them able and willing but
prompt and faithful and efficient
and reliable (artists, she says, aren't
any more temperamental than any
one else).
She is a charming woman and
wise woman, and she feels that this
program is doing more to assure us
that the men who have fought to
keep our shores safe shall not be
dislocated from a normal life. And
we agree with her.
