Davies Says Japs in 40
SOUGHT Prisoner Protection
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PALM BEACH, Fla, Jan. o.
Joseph E. Davies, former Ambassa-
dor to Russia, recalled in an address
here that the Japanese Government
and Red Cross sponsored a meeting
called at Toxic in 1910 for enact
ment of laws protecting prisoners of
war.
He told the annual session of the
Palm Beach Chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Gross after announcement
of the Philippine atrocities:
at was at the meeting of the Red
Cross societies and the International
Red Cross Committee Of Switzer-
land in, 1884 that additional meas
ures for the protection of war pris-
oners were proposed. Pursuant there
to, arrangements were made for a
meeting of the nations to be held
in 1910 to enact these humanitarian
projections into public law of ma
tions. That meeting was held in
Toxic under the sponsorship of the
japanese and Red Cross societies.
The present atrocities perpetrated
upon war prisoners by Japan takes
on new and additional light in view
of these facts, and illustrate and
intensity the deceitful and despica-
BILE treachery of Pearl Harbor."

Service Publications
Ask determination
OF War Criminals
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Two unoficial Army and Navy
service publications, the Register
and the Journal, yesterday de-
nounced Axis ruthlessness as ex-
posed in the report on japanese
atrocities and in Berlin announce.
ment that Japan would no longer
respect hospital ships.
The Register asserted that the
japanese "are capable of any crime
and must be treated as common
outlaws"
In another editorial, apparently
written before publication of the
atrocity report, the Register also
said: Peace on earth to men only
will be assured if those Germans
and Japanese who have deliberately
led their peoples to wars during the
past century are exterminated. No
halfway measures will suffice"
The Journal declared that "the
japanese announcement that hos
pital ships no longer would be re-
spected is in accordance with the
policy of savagery that brutal nation
has been pursuing. The announce
ment was made through Berlin, and
naturally so in view of the German
sinking Of one and the damaging of
two other mercy vessels in Italian
waters. Both enemies are ruth
less, both will stop at nothing in
their desperation to avert defeat"
The Journal said that, with dim
notion Of trying to conciliate world
opinion, the Japanese had claimed
that the action was taken by them
in retaliation for alleged similar
acts by our forces.
Because the japanese are call
lous about the death or suffering of
their own men, it follows they are
callous about the death or suffering
of their enemy" the Journal added
Therefore, it comes with poor grace
from them to attempt to convince
the world it is only because we are
allegedly sinking their hospita
ships, that they propose to sink

good guess that they are not alive
today.
Many of us who were held by the
Japanese in the Manila Santo Tomas
camp for civilians knew what was
going on out Bataan way.
The Japs inflicted unspeakable
atrocities on the wounded and the
sick who were in field hospitals
along the peninsula.
Disregarding the condition of
soldiers who had been disabled by
wounds or tropical diseases, such
as malaria and dysentery, the Japs
herded them from hospitals like so
many cattle and drove them re-
lentlessly through the mountainous
terrain until they dropped.
Many of the wounded and the
sick, lacking food or water and
completely exhausted, fell and lay
helpless on the footpaths through
the jungles and along the dusty
road. Unable to rise when beaten
with clubs and the buckle ends of
field belts, they died under Jap bay
onets.
American and Filipino soldiers
who halted along the way to ease
the sufferings of the sick and
wounded also were bayoneted or
clubbed to death.
The Japs tortured men who were
utterly helpless

torture with my own eyes as it was
inflicted on Filipino civilians.
The Japs made sure that the VIC
TINS were helpless. They never
attacked man whose arms were
free. They tied the hands of victims
behind their backs. then beat them
about the head and face with clubs
and buckled belts.
One Of my Bataan informants, a
civilian who had relatives with the
Army on the peninsula. braved the
dangers to visit the battle area the
morning after the surrender. He
covered the region by foot from end
to end and smuggled out relative
who had four bayonet wounds In
the chest.
AS he told me the story a few
days later he wept like a child. His
nerves were shattered.
This was his story:
He entered the peninsula at an
unguarded spot and soon found
himself in the midst of the ragged,
dirty, half-starved American Fill
pino Army on the march northward.
He witnessed quite a few behead-
ings with two-handed swords as the
Japs decapitated men who, in the
excitement of surrender, forgot to
throw away their cartridge belts
containing a few bullets.
He saw wounded and sick men
pinned to the ground with Jap bay
onets when they could not get to
their feet and go on.
He saw marching soldiers stabbed
in the back or the stomach as they
faltered along the way.
He saw Jap soldiers deliberately
empty water canteens on the ground
as helpless men begged for sip.
He was beaten himsel- and threat
ened with bayonets when he tried
to give drinking water to some
wounded men who, unable to q
forward, had crawled into a dense
jungle growth to escape their tor
mentors, only to be bayoneted when
found.

japanese 1ortures
lon Manila March
BY ERNEST G. FISCHER,
Associated Press StafY Writer.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Jan. 2e.--
Maj. Jack Hawkins, taken prisoner
on Corregidor, said today that the
Japs' triumphal march through
Manila was lone of the most mourn
full spectaces and heart-rending
experiences I ever went through .
The 27-year-old marine told in
reviewers the prisoners captured at
the fall of Corregidor on May g.
1912, were taken to a point near
Pasay, on the outskirts of Manila
unloaded from landing boats and
forced to wade ashore in waist-deer
water.
Then we were herded into
columns without a chance to take
the gravel out of our shoes or dry
our clothes and marched several
miles through the streets of Manila
Many became unconscious and
dropped from exhaustion. Others
were forced to discard their packs
equipment and blankets. We were
heavily guarded. Many Filipinos
who thronged the streets were in
tears.
| Filipinos Tried to Help.
"The Filipinos tried to give us
food as we trudged along, wet and
bedraggled. In some cases food was
permitted to be given In other
cases it was denied. Many of the
people in the crowd would give us
the V-for-victory sign while the
Japanese guards were not looking.
THE pace was set by a crack
japanese cavalry unit, walking its
horses.
Those who became exhausted
were pushed around, and when they
dropped out presumably they were
picked up later"
| The parade was for propaganda
purposes, Maj. Hawkins said, ex-
planning 1--WE could have been un-
loaded at the dock almost in the
heart of Manila"
Without Food for Days.
Immediately after their capture, he
said, for two or three days the Jap
anese provided no shelter, no drink
ing water and no food. The captors
deliberately" separated the prison
ers so that we were all mixed up
Army, Navy and Marine Corps
officers and enlisted men-so we hac
no control over our units That
made it hard for us to cooperate ir
anything the japanese might have
wanted to debut they didn't dc
anything"
Maj Hawkins added "men were
kicked, slapped and struck with rife
butts on the slightest pretext.'
Later, in camp at Cabanatuan, the
rice diet resulted in diet-deficiency
diseases, and "the death rate was
almost unbelievable.

New Missouri liIi Hailed
As Avenger Of Heroes
Tortured on Bataan
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-In brief
swift-moving ceremony, the mighty
battleship Missouri was launched
today with the express hope that
she would 'be an avenger to the
barbarians who wantonly slaugh.
tered the heroes of Bataan."
He bow splashed with champagne
by Miss Mary Margaret Truman, 10.
year-old daughter of Senator Tru.
man, Democrat, of Missouri, the
worlds largest and most formidable
warship hit the East River at thu
Brooklyn Navy Yard without mis-.
hap.
The Navy estimated the ceremony
was witnessed by $4,000 cheering
persons, among them many of tn,
10000 workers who made possible
the launching of the 45,000-ton shir
nine months ahead of schedule.
Answers Aggressors' Challenge.
Senator Truman told the assem-
blage that "the christening ano
launching of this greatest warshir
of all time illustrates the devisive
answer which the democracies of the
world are making to the challenge
of the agressor nations
To the workers who labored 8
total of 100000 man-dayS in the
construction, Admiral Ernest G
King, commander in chief of the
United States Fleet, sent this mes
sage:
1914, our year of attack, has just
begun. Plans have been made and
are being made for the most eX-
tensive and important naval opera
tions ever undertaken.
Now more than ever before, we
need every ship that you can pro-
duce. The more fighting tools we
have, the sooner the victory and
the lower the cost. The launching
OF the Missouri at this time is
therefore, particularly appropriate.
The ceremony, shortened to re-
duce to a minimum the interrupt
ton of work, occupied about Is min
utes. Even the great ship itself
started down the grease coated ways
at los PM, Eastern War Time
minutes ahead of schedule.
Toughest Fighter Afioat."
Senator Truman said the ship
third to bear the name, would be
the toughest fighter af1oat. The
Navy disclosed that the Missouri S
main battery would consist of To-
inch guns.
Gov. Forrest c. Donnell of Mis-
souri, said in a message to Rear
Admiral Monroe Kelly, yard COM
mandant, that "today's historic in
cident is a token of the resolution
of our Nation to cooperate unre-
servedly in the winning of the war"
Admiral William F. Halsey of the
Southwest Pacific Command told
the workers in another message:
I'VE have date to keep in Toxic.
And all our people ask the oppor-
tunity to slug it out with the Japs.
Ships like the Missouri will prove
the wallop to flatten TOTO and his
crew"
High Navy officials and other nota-
bles- were on the launching plat
form. They included Admiral Sir
Wilfred French of the Royal Navy,
Rear Admiral Edward L. Cochrane,
chief of the Bureau of Ships; Ar
temus Gates, assistant Secretary of
the Navy for Air, and Maj. Gen.
Thomas A. Terry, commanding gen.
eral of the Second Service Com
mand.
