tenant named Little, who was in charge of the kitchen, turned Knight over to the Japanese for punishment.
 Knight was taken to the guard house and peaten severely He was made to kneel for hours and then stand and held up heavy timber until he collapsed from fatigue. Us- ually at night when it was cold, the Jap guards would pour water on him while he was naked, kneeling or standing in the yard in front of the guardhouse. I heard that while his body was wet, an electric wire was put around his neck and the power turned on just enough to burn him. He was beaten while holding up the timber and also while he was kneeling."

Alaskan Newsprint
Editor and Publisher

Almost every newsprnt expert will state the cur shortage period will be with for several years. All such statements based on the assumption the shortage period will end in the natural course of events, that something is being done to end it. We do not believe the newsprint shortage will be corrected until considerably more new pro- ducton is planned than is now in prospect. We do not believe present production again will be able to supply the demand for newsprint. We believe all economic signs point to expanding newspaper industry.
 Newsprint manufacturers who have been brought red ink in the last few years refuse to believe current indications of expansion in the newspaper industry and therefore will not earmark capital ex penditures for expanded production.
 ESP found last fall that publishers planning
 quarter of billion dollar outlay for new plants and equipment in the next five years Circulation records were broken in 1946. Advertising Image almost reach ed the peak in 1929 Both advertising and circulation figures for 1947 promise to be greater And in effort to determine what lies ahead in actual print demand ESP queried several publishers. Some replies
 We consumed SC per cent more newsprint in ls46 than we did in 945 We estimate in l947 we will con sume 10 per cent than in l946 and that in l94S we will consume 10 per cent more in 1s47 In each oi the three following years We estimate that we VIII consume approximately five per cent more than Tn each preceding year"
 We would like to have Is or 20 per cent more newsprint in 1947 over 1946 We would like to open POooi"AS we would like another 20 per cent in 1948."
 Right can easily use 30 per cent more newsprnt than have. I willing to say that conditions might level off to somewhat over five year period of 10 per cent less than what they are now which would increase of 20 per cent more newsprint than we have now, over five years
 That's the way the newsprint demand picture looks.
 After the recent thorough airing of the supply and demand situation before Senate Committee re- gently what has been accomplished? It proven that many small publishers having difficulty get ting paper attempt is being made to set up newsprnt pooling arrangement to solve the short term problem Secretary of the Interior Krug admits Alaska has vast newsprint potential. Others ac- knowledge production must be had.
 In other words, barring catastrophe depression the demand for newsprint will increase year by year and unless steps taken to develop production the shortage is going to get worse every year we procrastinate.
 Alaska is a logical source. If private capital can- not be interested there government agencies must be urged to develop those Steps must be taken immediately.

THE REAL BLAME

Too many Alaskans have been spending too much time in running down the steamship companies and attempting to put the sole for the shipping rates on the employers instead of pointing the finger at the real cause for the increases
 U S. District Judge George w. Folta, in speech pointed out the 9 maritime unions of the Pacific Coast have the power to shut shipping off at anytime they choose. They have the power, too, to increase the operational costs of shipping at almost anytime they choose and the strikes they employ to enforce their demands bring losses to the employer which must be made up for by higher rates.
 As Judge Folta points out, the power of these unions must be curbed before there be any real progress made.
 We seem to remember during the Juneau hearings on the shipping problem held last year, more than one shipping executive stated that if the employers only had some means of controlling their employees, no increase in rates would be needed, but the way things have been running the employees have been controlling tn employers
 It is hoped that passage of labor bill in Congress will to correct some of the evils in the ways of the maritime unions. But the rates went up few days ago
 Several bills, which if passed would probably have done much to improve the shipping situation, proposed the session of the Alaska Legisla ture These bills were passed by the Senate, but turned down by the House of Representatives where the prolabor element too strong, and where the

beat him with clubs and sticks. The next morning when we returned from work they again began beat ing on Knight so that we could see it. He was badly bruised around the face and head and on the back. This treatment went on for four days. There were three shifts working at Cne mines, and the Jap anese beat Knight every time a detail went out and every time one came in from work"
 Charles G. Davis, Box 806, Route 5, Phoenix, Arizona Knight was accused of stealing from 8 to 10 buns from the camp bakery by It. Comdr. Little, USN., the comman- der of the American troops at the camp It. Comdr. Little announced at formation of the prisoners at which I was present that for this theft he had turned Knight over to the Japanese for unlimited pun ishment."
 Similar statements used in the trial were sworn to by Albert Mon toya Gonzales, Tularosa, N. M.; James B. Wilson, East St. Louis, H.; William D. Lee, Jacksonville, Fla; and Melvin L. Routt, Tracy, California.

According to the sworn statement of Willie Reems, Gilbert, La, Both the allied POW and Japs thought he acted like a little Caesar The Japs own name for It. Little was Little Lord (Skoshi Donol.'
 Evidence also showed that Little even used the Japanese language in addressing American prisoners. Ap- parently he got along so well with the Japs that. around Christmas l944, the Japanese officers gave special dinner for him.
 While Pvt William Knight, one of the men beaten to death, had a bad record for theft, other Ameri- can prisoners resented the fact that Little turned him over to the Jap anese. The men had their own kangaroo courts to maintain disc;- pline among themselves.
 Here are some of the affidavits pertaining to Little used in the Yokohama trials of Fukuhara and Uri. which are a matter of court record and therefore privileged:

 Tn some of the series of beat ings he passed out two or three times and the Japanese guards would revive him and continue the beating. Knight was not fed during the fifteen days oi torture Four or five times he was suspended by ropes tied tn his fingers, feet off the ground, and left that way for several hours.

OPINIONS OF
READERS
Objects To Truman
Hypocrisy

Dear Editor: At first it was confus-
ing to discover that our forefathers
were wrong in 1776. Now l expect
the next move of our government will
be to give ourselves back to Great
Britain and the heirs of King George
TIT. I realize that this will be neces-
sarv if we are to remain consistent
with the present principles of our for
eign policy, for in 1947 our President
and State department, by word and by
deed, by tank and by plane, have told
the people of Indonesia that colony
is the property of its masters and has
no right to stage revolution, no right
to win its freedom.
In pre-war world trade Indonesia
produced ninety per cent of the
worlds quinine, one-third of the
worlds rubber, one-fGurth of it's tin,
as we'll as great amounts of sugar,
cobra. tapioca, spices, tea, coffee, to-
bacco and petroleum. Yet the Indo-
nesian worker who produced this great
wealth received a Norman annual in
come of $57 in produce and money IN
cash only $19. The tax on tea in IT'S
was certainly a tea party in comparl-
son.
And these same Indonesians (whom
our President wined and dined at
Jefferson Day dinner and protested to
follow in the footsteps of that great
mani had the gall to remind us of the
following words of jefferson: I'VE
surely cannot deny to any nation that
right whereon our own government is
founded, that every one may govern
itself under whatever forms it pleases,
and change these forms at will" or
course this is the Goth Century and
those naive Indonesians should realize
that the moth-eaten phrases OF Jeffer-
sonian Democracy have been super
seeded by the Truman Doctrine.
Incidentally, President Truman
should be reminded that the history
books in our schools still glorify the
American Revolution. This subver-
sive propaganda must Immediately be
purged, and instead it should be
pointed out that our forefathers were
the property of King George III and
committed nothing but unprincipled
robbery during the days of Valley
Forge. - Respectfully, JOHN HE'LL

EMPLOYMENT OF YOUTH
in MONTANA FIRMS

The Department of Agriculture, Lab
or and Industry, through its Division
of Labor (has issued bulletin per
tanning to the employment of minors
This bulletin is entitled RULES and
I Regulations for the Employment of
Minors" and it's contents are of vital
importance to all employers, particul-
larly those who employ young people
during the vacation period or after
school hours. The bulletin is being
distributed by the Montana Employ
ment offices and if employment offices
are not available a copy or several
copies of the bulletin may be obtained
by writing to the Department of Ag-
riculture, Labor and Industry, Division
of Labor, Helena.
Employers attention is directed to
the requirement that for each minor
employed, he, the employer, must have
on file an Age Certificate (work per-
mit) issued by the Division of Labor,
Helena, Montana. Failure to have the
certificate is violation of law even
though the employment of the minor
would otherwise be legal.
e. G. Burris, speaking for the Divi-
sion of Labor, states that a number
of injuries have occurred to minors
who have been illegally employed, and
as a result of these injuries the Divi-
sion will find it necessary to take
action against the employer respon-
sible."
Burris states further that an in
crease Of six hundred percent in ap-
plications for the employment of min
ors over pre-war years indicate that
ing with the, Division. However,
there are number who either through
ignorance of the law or because of
have failed to comply.
The procedure set up by the Division
with the approval of the United States
of Labor is not so cum
bersome as to require a great amount
of the employers time in order to
comply with the law. All employers
are covered in some respect by the.
child labor laws, whether they are
large or small, interstate or interstate
commerce, retail or wholesale. EN-
ployers are invited to correspond with
the Division of Labor. We are here
in order to advise the employer
against illegal employment and to pro-
tect the interests of the minor"
The most important requirements of
the child labor laws are outlined brief
ly as follows: DO NOT employ minor
