McCoy, U. S. N., one of the survivors of Japanese ferrorism now in this country, speaks for itself. Commander McCoy, who escaped from a Japanese prison camp, speaking on behalf of the men still in Japanese hands, has requeste that this message be transmitted to the American people: " Jap brutality is beyond description. I would not wish any more of our boys fo have the same experience. I am sure that if those prisoners still in Jap hands could send a message to the United States they would ask that the home front back them up by buying as many War Bonds as they can during the Fourth War Loan Drive. “And if we can get a message back to them that Americans are supporting the fighting front, I am sure that their spirits would be given a needed lift, despite the brutal treatment. "I urge all of you - those with brothers, sons, and fathers who are seeing action in the Pacific theatre - fo back them up by buying bonds so that they would have the necessary supplies to avenge our men who have suffered at the hands of the Japs.” There is no way that we who stay at home can avenge this revolting cruelty. What we can do is pathetically litfle. If all of us put every cent we own into War Bonds, it would still be only the humblest gesture to the boys who are doing the fighting, the suffering, the dying.
