"The statements have been verified from other sources. xXx "The three officers stated several times as many American prisoners have died, mostly of starvation, forced hard labor, and general brutality, 8g the Japanese have ever reported. "At one prison camp, Camp Donnell, about 2,200 American prisoners died in April and May 1942. In the camp at Cabanatuan, about 3,000 Americans had died up to the end of October 1942. Still heavier mortality occurred among the Filipino prisoners of war at Camp O'Connell."

In addition to the stars tomorrow night, the Dothan High School Band, under the direction of Howell Hampton, and comprising some 40- odd pieces, will appear on the stage along with an entertainment troup from Camp Rucker. The program is staged more as a show rather than a Bond selling campaign, Clyde Lovern, chairman of the Houston County War Finance committee said.

However, in addition to the show, a German helmet, taken during the Tunisian campaign, will be auctioned to the highest bidder, and probably several other 'scarce will be offered to high bidders. To date no figures have been released on the actual progress of the drive, but Mr. Lovern said it is known that approximately $211,000 has already been subscribed in Bonds, a figure which is estimated ag half of the $462,000 quota in that type bond, and which is part of the colinty's total quota of $2,034,000. In commenting on the drive, Mr. Lovern said approximate figures show that "we have only scratched the surface and despite the fact that we feel confident the quota will be reached there is still plenty of work to be done." In addition to auctions held last week and those being held this week-end, several other rallies have been planned for next week and still more are being considered until the last day of the drive, Mr.

"The information which has just reached the government no longer leaves any room for doubt that the true state of affairs is a different one so far as the great majority of prisoners in Japanese hands are concerned," Eden said. Then solemnly he voiced his warning: "Let the Japanese government relect that in time to come the record of their military authorities in this war will not be forgotten." 'Pointing out that the Japanese government had 1 refused permisneutral inspection of their prison camps, Eden said, "for some time past information has been reaching His Majesty's government regarding the conditions under which prisoners are detained and work in some of these areas, and as it was of so grave a character as likely to cause distress to relatives, His Majesty's government felt hounds to satisfy themselves that authentic before making it Referring to the "many thousands" of British prisoners held in Thailand alone, he said: "Our information is that their health is rapidly deteriorating, that 8 high percentage of them are seriously ill, and that there have been several thousand deaths. The number of such deaths reported by the Japanese to us is just over 100." "Conditions in Hongkong appear to be growing worse," Eden continued. "'The whole story would appear to be very bad indeed, but I have worse to come.

We have a growing list of cases of brutal outrage on individuals, or groups of individuals. "I cannot burden the House with full details of these, but in order to give some idea of their nature I must, I fear, quote one or two typical examples." Eden then cited the case of a Shanghai police officer who was interned with 300 other Allied nationals there. "He incurred the displeasure of the Japanese gendarmerie and was taken to their office in another part of town," Eden related. "When he emerged from the building he was practically out of his mind, His rims and feet were infected where ropes had left deep scars and he had lost 40 pounds weight. He died within a day or two of his release." The second case concerned three British subjects who escaped from a Japanese internment camp in the Philippines Feb.

11, 1942. "They were recaptured and flogged by the camp guard," Eden said. "Two days later they were sentenced to death by a military court in spite of the fact that international law prescribes imposition of only disciplinary punishment for attempts to escape. "The firing party used automatic pistols and three of the men were not killed outright." He said that the hands of a number of Indian soldiers captured in Burma had been tied behind their backs and then the men had been systematically bayonetted from behind--each receiving three bayonet thrusts. In another case a British officer taken prisoner in Burma a clubbed across the face with sword, then tied to a stake with rope around his neck, so that only by lunging up on tintoes, could he get enough air to officer was saved when the Allies attacked and the Japanese fled.

Eden declared Japan violated not only the principles of international law "but all canons of decent civilized Sir John Wardlaw Milne, conservative member of Parliament, urged that the British and American governments serve notice on that "every atrocity will be remembered" and bring pressure to permit a commission of Spanish, Portuguese and other neutrals 1 to investigate Japanese prison camps.

We have put up every suggestion we can think of we have been met by a cynical refusal. and- the governmene feel that there is nothIng left to do but make the facts public and hope perhaps that action at long last would bring the Japanese author to understand their mi peop riage only peac butti but belie comi than No cho men la cont mi lust ng lid Th Ire mud kind cho hou lisp 200 hey cq1 der rata HUI ch com mor only fres best rab aisl sail mat nan ntc hab she of tha hal aft div ma SWI lov.
