WARNING MUST HAVE MEANING

While the war with Japan was rag
ing. the State Department warned the zap
anese that all officers and men VINO par
ticipated in inhuman and wicked measures
against allied captives and civilians would
be brought to judgment.
In less than ofur months after the
surrender of Japan the first trial of Jap
anese war criminal ended in Manila with
a verdict of guilty for General Gomoyukl
Yamashita, the tiger of Malaya' and the
cOnqueror of Singapore.
During the last eleven months of the
war Yamashita was in command of Jap
anese forces in the Philippines. He was
charged with one hundred tWenty-three
specific acts, involving more than $1,000
deaths While not accused OF ordering
atrocities, the Japanese commander was
charged with failing to halt kaattFo erittiYes-
which, as a commanders he EsheeANlH have
been aware Of az g th Il
There should be no doubt whatever
in the minds of Americans astOsthe guilt
of this officer The five-man military COM
mission, which heard the stories of mas
sacre, murder, rape and torture, did not
hesitate to render a verdict of guilty. There
is no reason whatever to suspect that the
judgment was passed upon anything eX-
cept the evidence presented.
While it is not pleasant to consider
the execution of any person. even the lead
err of enemy forces, the United States, and
other allied nations, have an obligation of
honor which they owe to their nationals
who suffered at the hands of brutal mill
tarists. There should be no silly sentiment
talism in this country to retard the determ-
ined efforts of our officials to apprehend
suspected enemy officers for the purpose
of trial and punishment upon conviction.
During the course of the war this
country and other allied nations could not
protect their men and women who fell into
the hands of our enemies. All that was
possible was the warningsthat the govern
ments repeatedly addressed to our brutal
foes For the sake of the future. it is alb
solutely necessary that the world under
stand that the warnings have been, or will
be, punished The hanging of the guilty
may be unpleasant business but it will serve
to protect Americans throughout the world
in the years to come.
