Ameircan men, women and children, carrying on their backs possessions they saved from Jap looting, were driven like cattle on foot to be interned in the filthiest hotels the Japs could find in Hong Kong. “A six-foot by eight-foot cubicle without win- | dows was alotted to five internees, two sleeping on a single bed, three on the floor with their legs under the bed for lack of space. For five weeks they lived thus, with no air, no light and no permission even to stretch their cramped legs, with one water closet for 53 people, no baths, no money, no permission to see outsiders. “Their rations were two bowls of cooked rice, scraps of vegetables, 1-16 oz. of salt and sugar per- iem. No milk was allotted for babies. Hospital fa- cilities and the most primitive medical attention were refused to people dying from dysentery.” The accounts of American soldiers taken captives by the Japs are even more terrible and revolting. We can expect no leniency with prisoners by the Japs. The question of why we didn’t bomb the Emper- or's palace is one of the unanswered questions of the raid. We'd like to know more about it. * Political Football (Cincinnati Enquirer) The c of Harry Bridges seems to have closed (if it is finally closed) in typical fashion. Through- it has been a political football, and its conclusion clearly was meant to serve a peclitical purpose. The Australian, g left-wing labor leader on the West Coast through a period of long turmoil and dis- ruptive strikes, has come within close approximation of deportation on more than one occasion, but each time action has been avoided by one or another gov- ernment department lest the Congress of Industrial offense During all of this time Bridges quite clearly was following the Communist party line, and as long as Moscow was striving to posipone a reckoning with yermany Bridges was mouthing the familiar phrases about “the imperialistic war,” and the tie-ups of the West Coast shipping industry 1 which he had a part certainly were not helpful to this nation’s prepared- ness effort. Presumably now Mr. Bridges is working to the full extent of his capabilities (and he is quite able in many respects) in behalf of victory for the United Nations. And yet it is now that Attorney General Francis Biddle, on behalf of the administration, rules that the alien Bridges is a member of the Commun- ist party, that the party is dedicated to the over- throw of our government, and that he therefore should be deported to Australia The time to have deported Mr. Bridges, was any merit in the government case against him, was two years or more ago. new evidence in this case, there has been no mention of it. His own conduct has changed much for the better, and the Communist paity line, through the icissitudes of the times, now is quite in line with [ the war effort of the democracics The circumstances suggest that the action in the J \l' ME! 1‘1101 g We were interested to read recently the full ac- count of Gen.

According to many observers, the Army «mu-‘ these orders because it feared that the bombing of | Hirohito, high priest of the Shinto religion, and re- garded as a deity by the Nipponese, would arouse the Japs to greater cruelties against American pris- oners The Japs bembed church buildings in Manila. | They bombed base hospitals in Bataan, apologized. | and then bombed the hospitals again According to all of the information we have at hand Jap mind, which is not too imaginative,! would have a difficult time in trying to outdo the inhuman treatment dealt out to American prisoners s0 far The sworn of man who escaped from Hong Kong not long ago ap- peared recently in a national magazine, a periodical in which this man had read of the luxuries enjoyed by Jap diplomats interned in the United States.

HEART AND HOME: as well as small towns war service will level all ranks and will estab- lish the democratic spirit il its| fullest sense. Summer social infor- malities will foreshadow many | changes in manners and customs that will be lasting.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Substitutes for materials absorbed in war needs will multiply through the Summer and many of them will be prefer- able to what they mitate. Exports will increase this month when there will be extraordinary demands for munitions.

NATIONAL ISSUES: Educational trends will be discussed seriously, | due to the evident sweeping changes | | in the way of American life. summer schools professors will ad-| | vocate stress on vocational guldnnce; as postwar exigencies will make | necessary added numbers of wom- s in wage earning occupations.| While practical training is stressed, there will be a wide interest in dis- tinctly academic courses which will g6 «sought by the minority vmny\ postgraduate classes will be estab- ished INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:| Although there may be a slight dif- ficulty or damage to one of qu- hips today, the United States Navy again is to demonstrate its power | n several decisive engagements with Japanese ships.
