Series Of 80 Protests

pans refusal to keep its pledge
to apply civilized standards in
the treatment of war prisoners
lay bare before the American
people today in a series of State
Department protests, long with
held from publication.
Hardly had the flames died down
over Pearl Harbor before the State
Department found it necessary. on
January 13, 1912, to protest Japan's
fiouting of the accepted code of war
fare. And these protests-89 in all
have continued through the inter-
vening two years, eliminating last
Thursday in an l8-point indict-
ment of Tokio's barbarities toward
war prisoners, disregard of prison
camp rules and refusal to let our
neutral representative, Switzerland,
inspect the camps where Americans
are prisoners.
Only tangible results of the Army
Navy revelations of war atrocities
and the State Departments record
of protests were: l. A demand by
Senator Chavez, Democrat, of New
Mexico that Gen. Douglas MacAr-
thus be given the necessary supplies
to step up the war against Japan
Immediately. 2. A promise by the
Red Cross that despite past failures
1t would continue trying to get
much needed supplies of food,
clothes and medicine to American
prisoners
Arguments Seen Futile.
Meanwhile. many officials here be-
lieved that "pitiless publicity" on Jap
atrocities and a crescendo of shot
and shell were the only arguments
the war lords in Toxic would heed.
Gn London, the first official
comment of the japanese to the
barring of their atrocities was
picked up by radio monitors
from DNB-German official
news agency-broadcast from
| Toxic.
(Sadao Iguchi, official COM
mentator, called the Washington
revelations "a cloak for cruelties
committed by the Allies them
selves" according to the Asso-
ciated Press.
cit is furthermore intended"
1guchi said, Ito stir up emotion
among their own people, whose
enthusiasm for prosecution of the
war was consistently fading.
American and British leaders will
most certainly be made to pay
their full due for bringing upon
the entire world an atrocity war"
Omitted States Government
monitors reported that the Jap
anese news agency Domei had
broadcast Iguchi's statement in
English for foreign consumption,
but the Japanese domestic radio
had not mentioned the atrocities i.
to their own people)
Continual Violations.
Secretary of State Hull, who
promised last week that Japanese
war criminals would be brought to
book for their atrocities, released the
long record of protests to Toxic to
show that this Government has not
been idle in the face of the Far
Eastern tragedy. The record showed
continual flouting of Japan's
promise to abide by the Geneva
Convention for the treatment of
prisoners of war, despite its agree
ment to do so.
Three protests in the series of 80
were high lighted: Those filed fol-
lowing reports of murder and tor
ture of prisoners in the Philippines,
the report of the execution of the
flyers who bombed Toxic in 1912 and
the report of Japanese mistreatment

The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1944-02-14

There will positively be a pri-
mary election or elimination bal
lot for the coming city campaign.
BY the second week Of February,
~ men had already announced that
they would make the run. and
others are expected before the
deadline is reached during the lat
ter part of the month.
Thus far the campaign appears
TO be a matter of emissaries OF
the respective candidates passing
along the good word about their
would-be councilmen, but In very
few instances have we heard Oh
any candidate being smeared. There
is no mud-slinging or name-call-
ing. and although the campaign
may warm up bit in the next
few weeks. we feel that The con-
test will go off smoothly and with
out outstanding incident.
The auietness Of the campaign is
not to be taken as an indication
that there is an apathetic feeling
among the citizens of Cumberland.
Far from that being the case. the
coming city election will be just
as full of rumors. merits and de-
merits of the various candidates as
usual. but the old-time neighbour
hood meetings in vacant store
rooms or garages will be missing
The citizens of Cumberland have
more serious things on their minds
and are giving real attention to the
winning of the war. The campaign
issues will be fought over the
morning cup of coffee, or in the
hush of evening.
Older heads will elaborate or
the qualifications of the candidates
and then the Mrs. will go out and
cast her vote for someone else
Just 10 be different. The woman
vote in Cumberland is the hidden
vote. and is the element of sur
prise in all city elections. So yot
candidates will have to be nice to
the women for the next few weeks
and be above average, if you wan'
to be successful. Eight high can
didates will meet in the finals 9
few weeks later.

n seems strange that the national
commander of the American Le-
gion, ever ready to denounce labor
leaders and labor unions on mat
ters directly concerning workers
only, now goes into Information,
when a matter of vital Importance
TO service men Of the present war,
the soldier vote bill, Is pending on
Capitol Hill. To this date neither
the present national commander

Of the Legion has raised a voice in

I say must" because no citizen
Of this country Is more entitled to

the bullets at our enemies. What
is the excuse of these heads of the
Legion remaining silent, when the
Spokesman for these defenders,
asks for the right to vote? The
Stars and Stripes, official news
paper Of the boys In action, says
these boys want the ballot.
The American Legion holds out
It's hands TO welcome these boys
into membership, and at the
same time will not take stand
on q question that means every
thing to these boys. How does
the American Legion hope to sell
Its organization to these future

ask for help. The home front Is
the only manner In which the

Is the real motive behind this? Is
1t party politics? Mr.. Commander,
there will come q day, and you

they saw veterans of several

but the treacherous climate of
the South Pacific, which. accord
