The Philippines Invasion

waste of American lives on Bataan
and Corregidor, and for the subse-
quent and bloody march of dealt"
to filthy prison camps.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur left the
Philippines-when COMMANDED
to do so-with a pledge on his lips to
COME BACK.
Now Gen. Macarthur is GOING
back, in the full and faithful per-
Torrance of his pledge and duty.
But it is not just Gen. Macarthur
who is going back to the Philippines,
and fulfilling pledge to the Philip
pines.
It is AMERICA which has
pledge to fulfill and a duty to
perform.
America is REDEEMING itself
in the Philippines.
America is FIGHTING ITS
OWN WRONG in the Philippines.
America is RESTORING ITS
OWN HONOR in the Philippines.
This is an AMERICAN CRU
SADIE, in behalf of the self respect of
the American people, their dignity
and their character.
We are going back to hallowed
soil.
We are keeping faith with men
who died for THEIR faith.
Not until this is DONE will there
be any peace in the hearts of the
American people.
Now it is BEGUN.
Let us follow those who are doing
it with affection and appreciation,
with hope and faith, and with our
prayers.

THE American landings in the cen
Il trail Philippines are the natural
and inevitable consequence of the
highly successful and truly magnifi-
cent war our American forces have
been waging in the Pacific.
It is our first move BACK to
American soil we abandoned more
than two years ago in circumstances
of utter defeat and humiliation.
It was not, of course, the defeat
of the American forces we had in the
Philippines at the outbreak of the
Pacific war that was humiliating.
Those forces were NOT defeated
in any moral sense.
They were only defeated in mill
tary sense by the processes of ex-
haustion, starvation and annihila
ton.
They fought to the last ounce of
strength of the last man.
Such a valiant and glorious feat
of arms was never before performed
in all the history of war.
They sanctified the American soil
for which they fought.
The defeat and humiliation were
OURS-the people and government
of the United States.
WE failed and refused to fortify
and man and supply the Philippines
in sufficient time and quantity to
hermit a successful defense.
WE are responsible for the
raising of the japanese flag over the
Philippines, and for the trampling of
the American flag under the feet of
bestial and sadistic invaders.
WE are responsible for the futile

rs IIANUNAN, the Monkey God of India, really
protecting his thousands of simian descendants
y who infest the 80 acres of gardens and woods
which surround Government House in this second
city of the British Empire?
Millions of Hindus believe firmly that the
great ape-like deity, who moved mountains with
his hands and bridged oceans with his tall, is
watching carefully the agile denzens of the
governmental haven.
For that reason they maintain, monkey
purge ordered by Richard Gardiner Casey, the
new governor, not only will be unsuccessful but
may get him in lot of trouble to boot
Government House, as everybody calls the
rambling pile of buildings which constitute the
residence OF King Georges representative, was
erected on the very spot, according TO tradition.
where Hanuman had one of his many homes.
The grounds are beautifully kept, but. in times
past, few visitors ventured TO wander through
them because, in the trees overhead, hordes of
playful little apes waited to snatch hats, and
spectacles and the ground underfoot was almost
alive with every conceivable kind of reptile, some
OF them poisonous.
For many years molested these unin-
-Vited guests, not only because all forms of life
are sacred TO the HinduS, but also because of the
native tradition that, as long as the monkeys are
permitted to make the gardens their home, the
inmates of the house will be safe from harm.
In recent years, however, the charm appeared
10 be losing its potency as far the governors of
Bengal were concerned.
Perhaps this was, as the natives whispered
because an Irish grounds.keeper, imported by
Sir Stanley Jackson, became infuriatcd at the
monkeys and secretly spread poison for them
with the result that many of them died.
At any rate, not long after that, Sir Stanley
was made target of terrorists bullets. Then
Sir John Anderson, now British Chancellor of the
EXchequer, barely escaped an attack on his life
His successor, Lord BrabouTne, succumbed to
mysterious malady, which also took the life of
the next administrator Sir John Stanley.
When Governor Casey arrived 10 take over
both he and his wife naturally scoffed at the be-
lief that the monkeys could have anything 10 do
with the wcllbeing of inmates of Government
House The Governor, Privy Councillor, member
of the Distinguished Service Order and holder OF
the Military Cross, thought il uas- nonsense.

and then announced that the monkeys could be
eliminated, but under no circumstances could
they be shot handled roughly.
The proper way, he said was to erect traM
houses in the four corners of the grounds afte
which the captves might be removed elsewhere
The traps were built according 10 the pundit's
specifications. but for some reason the monkeys

Gov. Casey turned in reports to Prime
Minister Churchill So ii was decided 10 get rid
of snakes and monkeys, once and for all.
Before deciding on method, Governor Casey
inquired about Hanuman and was told by pious
natives that he was no deity to fool with.
He was informed that the Ramayana, one of the
holiest of Hindu epics, relates that the monkeys
earned their eternal sanctity by fighting beside
Hanuman their king, in great battle to preserve
the domestic happiness of the god Rama.

Hanuman, like Mohammed. went 10 the mountain.
One after another the Ramayana relates, he lifted
the peaks from their bases and deposited them in
the ocean TO speed the causeway.- (That. say the
Hindus, accounts for the chain of islands today
across the 60mile strait to Ceylon.)
Finally the cauSeway was built and Hanuman
led his followers into the beleaguered citadel. The
legend is that they killed all the demons and
rescued the beautiful Sta.
