NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. No words can express the feelings of Americans who have heard of the cruel and inhuman treatment accorded United States and Philippine prisoners of war by the Japanese. All rules of international war- fare have been breached; all right to treatment under those rules have been sacrificed by the Japanese. Already cries for retribution are being heard throughout the land. Secretary Hull has threatened retaliatory punishment for war criminals of Nippon after the war ends. There will be an increasing de- mand for immediate action against the Japanese held as prisoners in the United States. We must sympathize with those feelings. are natural enough under the circumstances. But we hope that they will not becloud the real issue. The real issue is victory. Nothing we can do to Japan in the period between now and the day our troops march through the ruined streets of Tokyo can begin to pay for the crimes which have been perpetrated. We can very well take steps which might make a horrible situation more horrible still. To the Japanese, suffering and death for the Emperor is an end to he desired. It is difficult for us to believe or to accept that fact, but it is a fact Washingloa They las well as four ‘Ynu simply can't retire now. THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU; ALASKA nonetheless. This war has presented too much evi dence of its truth for us to doubt it Thus, while the sufferings of our men held in Japanese prisons are horrible to us, the suffering of Jap prisoners held in Allied camps would not be horrible to the Japanese. Should we embark upon a policy of retaliation now, the chief victims would be Americans who still remain alive in enemy prison camps. For Nippon would seize upon our action as an excuse for still greater outrages. Our own program would not succeed in its aim of bringing grief and discomforture to the Japanese. It would give the Japanese excuse for more torture; additional murder. an We can gain the ends we seek only by com- pletely and crushingly defeating the Japanese Army and Navy. Toward the goal we must spare no effort, no pain, no sacrifice. The sooner we accomplish it, the more chance we will have of rescuing a remnant of the defenders of Bataan. To that task we must dedicate ourselves with a vigor and an earnestness that cannot be denied. We can spare no breath for the tiny retribution which could now be enforced against the few prisoners we hold. Let's save every ounce of energy for the day of victory. Then—and only then—shall the Japanese war lords pay for y ounce of blood; for every stab of pain; for every moment of suffering. Dictators’ Vengeance (New York Times) Since Berlin announces it, thére is no reason to doubt the accuracy of its report that Count Ciano, Mussolini’s son-in-law and former Foreign Minister, other Fascist stalwarts, have been executed at Verona. They richly deserved their fate, but it is one of the ironies of history that they should have died, not for crimes they committed, but for crimes they did not commit As far as the Nazis and Mussolini's puppet re- | gime are concerned, the executions are simlpy that many more murders. The five were shot after a mock trial at which they were convicted of “treason” be- cause they were among the thirteen at the Fascist | Grand Council meeting July 24 who voted no-con- fidence in Mussolini, which in turn led to his over- | throw. They can have been convicted only because | the court held that they owed personal loyalty to Mussolini. That alone reveals the German domina- | tion of the whole proceeding. Yet, if anything can | be said in extenuation of the record of these men it is just that in a supreme crisis of the state they had the courage to put the state above any person. | No question of “treason” was involved. | It is Hitler who must be regarded as the prime | mover in the matter. He hated Ciano because Ciano | had opposed his going to war before Italy was ready, | and for the same reason had also opposed Italy’s en- | trance into the war at the particular time picked by | Mussolini. Most of all, however, Hitler must feel that by executing those who overthrew Mussolini he is| serving a warning on those who are plotting for his |gineers will ' gressional HAPPY BIRTHDAY. | FEBRUARY 12 Mary Bavard Cash Cole Harold Aase Alf Lund Mrs. Ken M.

The officers were Evelyn Judson, President; Minnie Larson, Vice-President, and Florence Bathe, Secretary-Treasurer. Others in the local camp included May Ramsay, Alma Weil, Iris Gray and Helen Carter.
