While we were waiting momen-
tarily a Filipino came up to us
bleeding profusely in the chest from
a Japanese bayonet wound. Al
though weak from loss of blood, he
carefully pointed out road turns into
the center of the camp.
A long line of people clutching
little bags of clothes--hugging chill

greetings to us came pouring from
the buildings.
The first American I greeted was
an old time Manila friend and his
wife-Jack Burnell, Franklinton,

tobacco firm.
"Oh God. it's been long time we
have waited for just such Hollywood

of last year, and then the japanese
slashed the food rations, prohibit
ing even the little diet variety which
had been procured from the outside.
During the last two weeks, he said,
enemy guards seemed determined
completely to starve the internees.
They cut the rice allowance to a
scant ITO grams daily.

on actual profit, would come at the

tor Knowland's plan appeared to OBJ

conference by the firms president,

amount.
The reconversion official pointed
out that the position taken by Ben

ther wage talks were useless until

contrary" to administration wage
price policy. The policy requires
manufacturers to wait six months

appeal for higher prices.

STATEMENT ON
We DAY
BY CLAUDE PEPPER.
Senator From Florida

This is the day for which we
have been waiting-the day for
which the people of the United
Nations have been fighting, suf-
fering and dying. Adolph Hitler's
Nazi empire has died in the year
g of its boosted thousand-year
reign, foreshadowing the re-es-
adjustment of democratic insti-
buttons throughout the length and
breadth of the European Contin-
ent and throughout the world.
1t is day of rejoicing, and it
IS day of re-dedication, for
pcace-loving mankind. Rejoicing,
Tor the victory won; re-dedica-
ton, for the winning of victories
still to be achieved in the Pacific,
and the establishment of a last
ing peace.
For let US not forget, in our
rejoicing, that Japan is still a
ferocious, ruthless power still to
be defeated. Let us not permit
ourselves the slightest let-down
in our determination to produce
and fight for total military VIC
tory against Japan.
Much remains to be done be-
fore the Nazi poison is finally
eliminated. German industries,
which have been turning out the
weapons which have killed so
many thousands of our young
men and those of our Allies,
must be dismantled and dispersed
until there is no harm left in
them Their General, Staff must
be liquidated until not a trace
remains. Preparations in kind
must be exacted for the devasta-
ton the Nazi armies have
wrought. And finally, every Ger
man, whether officer or enlisted
ran, Nazi official or ordinary
civilian, who has played any part
in committing the .unspeakable
NaZi atrocities must receive grim
punishment for his acts from the
military tribunals of the Allied
Armies.
These things were pledged the
world by our late great President
Roosevelt and by Premier Stain
and Prime Minister Churchill at
the Crimea Conference last Feb
ruary, and they must be re-
pledged with new force today by
the peace-loving peoples of the
world.
Victory could not have been
ours without unity among the
Allies and unity among all peo-
pie at home. The building of a
firm peace and prosperity for all
in the days ahead will need the
same unshakable united deter
mination that we gave to the
prosecution of the war. On this
