The Speech of "a Great
Patriot

Mr.. Dewey's pie dge is AN
AMERICAN pledge-and the people
of America know that Mr. Dewey
is a man WHO KEEPS HIS
PLEDGES.
AS Gov. Dewey emphasized, the
restoration of free and representa-.
tive government, by constitutional
methods, is THE ONLY ISSUE of
the Forthcoming campaign.
For the war is not an issue be-
tween Americans, no matter what the
New Dealers and the Communists
may pretend.
In his acceptance speech Gov.
Dewey answered them in these his
toric words:
"The military conduct of the war
is outside this campaign.
1T is and must remain completely
out of politics.
Gen. Marshall and Adm. King
are doing superb job.
THANK God for both of them.
Let me make it crystal clear that
a change of administration in Jan
uary cannot and wiU not inUoIUe any
change in the military conduct of
the tUar,
1T there is not notU any ciUilidn
Interference Oith the military and
naval commands, a change in admin.
istrotion wiH not alter that status.
IF there is ciUilian interference,
the new administration WiH put
stop to IL forthwith"

FAIR
ENOUGH
BY Westbrook
Peeler

careful study Of the Rob-
~ erts report on the Pearl
Harbor disaster dispels the i'm
preston, left by-a superficial
reading of the text, that Adm.
Fl. E. Kimmel and Maj. Gen.
Walter c. Short refused to con-
fer and cooperate and under
estimated the gravity of orders
from Washington in anticipation
of war.
On the contrary, il reports
that they did so.
Moreover, on Feb. II, 1912.
one month after the report was
published, Rear Adm. William
II. Standby. a member of the
committee, was quoted in the
San Francisco Examiner as
having said:
The impression has been ere
ated that the relations between
Short and Kimmel were 30 es-
tranged that they passed tn
opposite sides of the street to
avoid meeting each other. Tho
exact contrary was the fact. A
careful reading Of tho report
will show that kimmel and
Short conferred for three hours
on Nov. "a, that they conferred
again on Dec. 1. and again on
the second and fourth between
tho army and navy were Mt the
fullest. You can make that ~
strong IS you want to-"
THEN. what was the charge
l. brought against kimmel
and Short by the committee Of
which Rear Adm. Standby was
a member?
The report said they were
derelict in failing To consult
respecting the meaning and
intent" OF warnings from Wash
ington and "the appropriate
measures Of defense required
by the immediate immlnence NJ
hostilities."
Up TO the moment of the at
tack. they had been warned not
TO take any measures that
would alarm the civilian popula.
ton and only TO take precau-
tons against sabotage. espion-
age. propaganda affecting their
personnel, and other subversivs
activities.
ON NOV. u Adm kummel
" was ordererd rot 10 take
offensive action until Japan had
struck the first blow.
In violation of his orders,
Kimmel had been dropping ash
cans on objects suspected Of
being japanese submarines on
invisible contac for some
months.
In fact, the attack by the
destroyer Ward and a naval
patrol plane in which a Jsps-
nese midget submarine was
sunk outside Pearl Harbor about
an hour before the aerial bonn
bardment OF the naval base was
a violation OF kimmels latest
orders from Washington.

A RE American prisoners Of war,
"A military and civilian alike, in the
Far East being forgotten entirely?
The question is one that those Of
us who were fortunate enough to be
released from japanese prison camps
are asking ourselves every day.
For we know only too we'll in
what case those prisoners probably
are, because we know in what case
WE were before we were released
for repatriation.
We know that conditions in all
the concentration camps were
GROWING WORSE DAY BY DAY,
that food was becoming ever MORE
SCARCE, poorer and LESS NU-
TRITIOUS in quality.
We know that the Japanese care
little whether our people starve to
death, directly or indirectly, or not.
We know that the sick and the
aged are becoming weaker and
weaker every month and every day
and every hour.
We know that the children, un-
denounced, Without medicine If i'll,
are going to die BY THE SCORES,
maybe are dying already.
T WAS a captive in Manila, one Of
those released last September as
newspaper man and sent home on
the Gripsholm.
Conditions in the Philippines
were far and away better then than
they were in Shanghai or in the
dreadful Stanley camp, in Hong
kong. In this ablebodied men had
already died from malnutrition
diseases, which is what | mean by
starving to death indirectly" That
is what it amounts to.
But the difference between Stan
ley. in Hongkong. Pootung and
Chapel, in Shanghai, ard Santo
Tomas and Los Banos in the Philip
pines, is, after all, only ONE OF
DEGREE.
The Japanese are milking their
occupied lands in the Orient dry,
economically speaking, in order to
maintain their armies Of occupation
and to SEND FOOD HOME to their
own war-impoverished and half
starved people.
In the Philippines, When we left.
rice was already costing SIS for
200 pound sack, and the cheapest
grade of byoWn sugar a dollar a
pound. Why? Because the Japanese
are turning the rice-paddies into cot
ton fields and the sugar mills into
alcohol factories.
MEAT in the Philippines was
1v1 mostly that of the water-buf-
falo when we left, and that meat is
neither nutritious norpleasant to eat.
Vegetables were rice Of poor
grade and dirty, green tops Of GER
tain native vegetables sadly LACK
ING IN VITAMINS and usually fed
to cattle and hogs, a kind Of sweet
potato-like tuber called camote,
neither agreeable to the taste nor
nutritious.

Former Jap Captive Assails
Lethargy on Prisoner Relief
By MARC T. GREENE

That was the case nearly a year
ago. No doubt at all that conditions
are MUCH WORSE TO-DAY be-
cause they had been growing pro-
gressively worse for year.
WHAT WILL THEY BE AT
THIS TIME NEXT YEAR?
Those of us who know the facts
don't like to think of what they will
be, and we hesitateto face the people
we meet in America who have kin or
friends back there.
The case of medicines is eUen
worse. When we left the Philippines
so simple a thing as an aspirin tablet
cost so cents! Ordinary Uitamin pills
cost $40 a bottle! Quinine, so much
needed in the Philippines, was as
good az nonexistent
One man in our camp suddenly
required an operation for hernia.
Owing to blood pressure local
anesthetic was not considered safe.
Manila was searched for two days
for ether. Finally two small bottles
were found. They cost TWENTY
FIVE DOLLARS each.
WE HAVE GOT TO DO SOME
w THING about these people in
the East.
1t is not a matter to argue over
or to speculate upon.
The Japanese used to tell us in
Manila that they were specialists
in the impossible" and could accom-
plish anything they determined upon.
Where is our American pride in
scorning the impossible" too?
But there is nothing to prove that
it is impossible, this succor to our
suffering ones back there.
Any interest or any agency, press
or other, that takes up the matter
and pushes to the utmost of it's
capacity or influence the project of
the relief of our people in japanese
prison camps is doing one of the
biggest public services that can be
done in these days of unprecedented
need.
The suggestion that a committee
be formed and that Ambassodor
CreU be put at the head of it Is an
admirable one, at least 20 far as M.
GreW is concerned.
He is far ADLER man and far
greater diplomat than has eUer been
realized or acknowledged. He can
achieve something along these lines
If ANY ONE can.
WHY is it that this vital matter
w that concerns so many OF us
appears to be regarded so indif-
ferently?
Why is it that we as nation
seem to sit with folded hands con-
corning the fate-the certain fate if
relief does not come soon-of our
people in the East?
There are six thousand civilian
prisoners in the Philippines, 10 or II
thousand European military prison
ers. By far the most of them are
Americans.
Are we forgetting them?
