Murder, torture, starvation.
abuse, neglect and general mis-
treatment stood out in a horror
list of Japanese misdeeds against
captive Americans made public by
the State Department.
The black record OF Japanese
brutality was in the form Of list
OF diplomatic protests which the
American government has made
TO Tokyo since January. 1912, con
corning Japans failure TO abide
by the Geneva war prisoners con-
yention.
Shortly before the list was made
public Sen. Chavez CD n. Mex,
took the Senate floor TO demand
that the United States send more
aid to Gen. Douglas Macarthur so
he could "avenge" the horrors suf-
fered by captured Americans.
In vain effort to shame the
japanese government into honor
ing its solemn obligation to live
up to the Geneva convention, the
State Department lodged a total
of ~ separate protests carrying

government. which represents
American interests in Japan.
Although the protests appear to
have had little effect on the ia
panese mistreatment OF American

cusing witness against Japan when
the time comes for the Allies 10
consider the final peace terms to
be imposed on that country.
The list revealed that many in
cidents involving barbaric mis-
treatment of Americans occurred
about which nothing was said pub
licly at the time.
