and drink from a bottle while
the weary prisoners did calls
themes for half hour or
longer, until Motto tired of the
sport.
After several months Motto
judged that the prisoners were
beaten down enough for a
further experiment.
He required each barracks 10
appoint two men 10 write
statement on the subject
"Who will win the war;"
DY NOW. the Americans were
- living skeletons.
Many had died from beatings,
or had been taken To Bilibid
Hospital To wait for DEATH But
they still weren't conquered.
From every barracks came
the statements. all of the same
tenor:
THE United States wH win
the war. We have superior in
dustry, greater resources and
better men"
Moto kept his temper and n
month later gave the prisoners
copies of The Nippon Times
containing reports of great Jap
victories.
Reiterale Faith i'm u. y.
Now, here is some informa-
tion of recent events" Motto
said. "Who do you think will
win the ware"
Once more the prisoners
wrote their statements, in this
vein:
I'VE know this is propa-
ganda newspaper. We have no
way to tell what's happening on
the outside. But we still believe
the United States must win In
the end, because of the reasons
we have already stated"
Four times The White Angel
required these written state
mentS. Each time the answer
was tho same:
Regardless Of what happens
Ia us, the United States must
win.
nNE private, required 10 write
" a report for his barracks,
stated his conviction that the
United States would defeat
Japan. and wrote:
I'VE know that prisoners
held by the United States are
fed properly and clothed prop
erly. The rags we wear are
unfit to be seen and the food
Is insufficient to maintain life"
That brought a summons from
Moto, who said
II like for you to tell the
truth. But II isn't going to do
you any good. Never forget that
you are my prisoners. can
feed YOU grass II I want"
Moto left the camp around
Christmas of 1943 for an active
assignment with the navy.
AS parting gesture, he made
the prisoners line the runway
and wave their hats while pho
tographers snapped pictures of
his departing plane. Later.
news came of his death in
naval action.
The prisoners were sorry.
They had hoped some day
to kill him With their oWn

The White Angel got in his
car and went to Manila, where
he bought a white cross and
bouquet of flowers.
He buried the marine near the
barracks and placed the cross

than 500 American prisoners
