AS weak as I was on the morn
ing of August Is, 1912, my first
full day at Karenko Prison. 1t was
still almost a relief to get off tha1
tinv cot at 6 o'clock. We were
lined up then on the parade g-ouno
in front of the barracks, as on eV,
ery morning to follow. We stood
there about half an hour before
the jap officer on duty came along
10 supervise the roll call. This be-
came a daily practice, and once
we had to wait at attention two
hours before the Jap sauntered by.
When the first morning roll call
was over, our food carriers went
again to the kitchen and brought
back another bucket of rice and
the same kind of Watery vegetable
soup. We were as hungry after
finishing it as when we began. We
were beginning to be haunted by
hunger.
That afternoon our small luggage
was returned to us, after having

surrender did work on my mind
To surrender is, indeed, a dread
full thing to be forced to do, an,
the act was never far from M
consciousness-even afer all tn
intervening months.
So I got out my diary, sat dow
and wrote:
81 will probably be asked
why I SURF -ndered Corregidor
with a 1ast-ditch' stand. The
answer will be found in my
notes in the front of this book,
plus these additional facts:
"(a) Enemy could and
would have taken the island in
a day or two, or less, by pill
ing up on it many more troops
from Bataan. He was actually
doing so while I was negOtiat-
ing with General Homma at
Cabcaben.
'(b) A few days longer would
make no difference, as no help
was in sight. The only differ
ence lay in the fact that had
we all been killed on the is
land it could have been said
what brave men they were!'
Many however, would have
called me fool or perhaps
a criminal for sacrificing all
my troops without any possible
chance Of good coming from
doing SO.
E(c) 1 was afraid that if the
assault was allowed to reach
the Tunnel, as it would have
that night, terrible massacre
would occur In he darkness,
and that tanks and flame
throwers in there would finish
every one off, for no good, in
Guiding 1000 sick and wound
ed and IFS nurses. And more
wounded were coming in
every minute The women
were grave consideration.
"(d) The beach defense
troops, Marines, plus all mix
ed detachments, were already
outnumbered 2 to l and the
harbor defense troops, while
magnificent on their jobs,
were not really trained for
Infantry combat, were badly
battered to pieces by the
months bombardment, and
we're, SO far as the remaining
armament would permit, en-
gagged in returning the in
tense fire from Bataan.
"(e) Troops would have
been captured piecemeal in
any case. 1 therefore thought
it much better to surrender
all at once in an orderly man.
ner.
"(f) The Japanese would
that night, from their land
ing at James Ravine beach,
which they actually made,
have separated the troops on
the west end Of the island
from those on the east end,
and would have, and did get,
possession of our power and
water installations.
'(g) Colonel Howard, COM
manding the beaches, defenses
reported two days previously
to Gen. Moore that his troops
were so shaken by the months
bombardment that he could
only with great difficulty
hold them in their assigned
positions, and now the pre-
pared positions were all de-
stroyed.
"For all these reasons, plus
those stated in the front of the
book, I decided to surrender.
But my most impelling reas-
on was mo aid in sight and
my reason for doing it at noon
was to avoid the horrors
which would have accrued had

Editorial Comment
A RIGHT TO GRIPPE

The 500 combat veterans who at Marys-
vile, Calf, report haro cross-country trip
on day coaches whilst, as they allege, Ger
man prisoners of war had Pullnans, are to be
pardoned some lack of moderation in state
ment. The war department says able-bodied
prisoners of war do not get Pullmans, and 1t
stands to reason that this is true; but these
veterans have a right to better treatment
than two seats for three.
Too, they are not to be blamed for feeling
that a German prisoner of war might put
up with a little walking.
We know and you know the best and about
the only thing a civilian can do to help with
the transr ortation of returning veterans: That
is to use as little of the overtaxed facilities
as possible.-Greensboro News
The Wilmington morning star. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1909-1990, 1945-07-08
More Meat

City Council members, in Washington to see
what could be done to keep Camp Davis in
operation, bring home word that by another
amendment of the OPA Control Order No. 1,
meat packers are required to deliver as much
meat as they did in January, 1914. Emphasis
is placed on the fact that they are "required''
to equal the deliveries Of that date.
1t so happens that in January Of 1914 Will
m-ngton housewives had little difficulty in
buying the meat their families needed every
day in the week, provided they had sufficient
ration points. The meat was not always Of
the quality they were accustomed to buy, nor
was it in customary cuts, but at least there
was meat enough to go around. There was
no standing in line in the hope that meat
might be placed in cooling cases before night,
as has been happening so frequently Of late.
If we get back to the good old days Of
the first month of last year, there will be
no more complaint. And there would seem to
be no good reason why we should not. There
is more cattle on the hoof than ever. The
need is to get it to the stockyards for butcher
ing This new amendment suggests this may
be happening.

Ninth Year Of War

The Chinese are now launched Upon their
ninth year of war with the Japanese. While
they have won no outstanding battles it is sig
nificant that they have not fallen prey to an
enemy better trained, better equipped, and
better prepared for the conflict
While suffering heavy losses themselves they
have accounted for more than two and one.
half million japanese casualties. Though they
have Withdrawn to the interior and given up
territory Of strategic valre, in the sense that
they have not been overwhelmed, they have
been victorious in retreat.
The story might have been brighter if the
United Ststes had given China material aid
in the early days Of the Sino-J apanese war,
instead of sympathy and kind words while
American scrap metal was being sold to Japan
But that is water over the dam. It merely
proves that appeasement of Japan was no
more Profitable than appeasement OF Hitler.
Now, with the showdown with Japan ap-
preaching, the United States is implementing
Ckina's war effort to such extent that she
can have a prominent role in the final and
complete defeat of the Japanese. Already. Chi,
nese forces have shown their n1ettle in the
coastal area, as a result Of the training and
war tools delivered in increasing quantities

VinsOn For Treasurer

President Truman turns to the South again
in his selection for a successor to Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., as Treasurer Of the United
States. After naming James F. Byrnes of
South Carolina for Secretary Of States, he
now announces that Fred Moore Vinson Of
Kentucky will have the Treasury portfolio in
his Cabinet.
1t must be more than coincidence, since Mr..
Vinson followed Judge Byrnes as Director of
War Mobilization. The close association this
brought between the President and Mr.. Vim
