KIL LII\G THEIR OWN While military leaders of Western lands have labored for years to perfect medical and surgical treatment for wounded soldiers, the Japanese Army apparegntly follows a policy of systematic extermina- | tion of its own casualties. Reports to that effect have been received from various sources in the Far East, particularly Okinawa. There, coptured records indi- cate, more than 80,000 injured enemy troops either were forced to commit suicide, or were murdered by their ewn officers Such action hension of the Western mind. We feel pity and com- passion for human sufferings, and our commanders know that a majority of wounded men can be rehabili- tated "and returned to valuable careers, either as soldiers or civilians. The average American, eyeing the Jap record, must wonder whether or not the islanders have any feeling akin to sympathy. Certainly they have shown no such traits, Chinese prisoners and civilians. But in spite of that record, which has been knotn to us for many years, we m#ist be surprised that their heartlessness extends to their own people. As to the practical values concerned—the return | of wounded sdldiers to Army service following treat- ment—the Japanese certainly know all possibilities. | Among the Nipponese are some top-flight medical and surgical men. Apparently, however, they wish to have as few prisoners as possible in Allied hands. News reports indicate that murder tactics are followed most | thoroughly when the Japs know that the wounded cannot be moved from points about to be captured, and will"certainly ' be taken prisoner by advancing Allied units. Other instances of mass murders have been noted. In at least two places where food supplies were short, the Japanese are said to have killed all their own casualties in order to provide additional rations for the able-bodied. Such horrors are not isolated exam- ples qf brutality, but rather the over-all policy of the Jap military group. Few Americans will shed tears at the deaths of fanatical, sadistic enemy soldiers as much as we may be repelled by the ideas invoived. Such a program will is completely beyond the compre- | in their treatment of American and | Argentmc \olr ANO (New York Times) | Early in March the American nations at Mexico | | City invited Argentina to rejoin the Pan-American | ‘Imml\ ending an estrangement of several years that had culminated finally in withdrawal of most of the American Ambassadors from Bueénos Aires. Certain | requirements were laid down for this readmission. | When Argentina signed the Act of Chapultepec on| | April 4 she officially accepted them. Except for the declaration of war against Germany and Japan on March 27, Argentina would appear to have falled iumubl_v to live up to any of the other prerequisites of full acceptance. This is in contrast to the complete manner jn which the United States and the other Pan-American nations have carried out their implied | obligations to her. Instead of living up to the pledges assumed at | Mexico City, Argentina has even nullified some’ of | the steps she had taken toward a more democratic | government prior to the Mexico City Conference. She | has reinstituted political censorship, ceased gwmgw even vague promises of free elections and, under the | guise of military security, has a: ted without charges | land detained without a hearing several Argentine | leaders who had been most vccal in oppoesition to the | Colonels’ Government. It is to be hoped that Secretary of State Stettinius’ | ‘ friendly warning in his San Francisco address that | this country’s sponsorship of an invitation to Ar- gentina to attend the San Francisco Conference .md\ its previous friendly attitude at Mexico' City did not | constitute a blanket endorsement of the Argentine | ! Government's policies will have some effect. Foreign \Mxmstm Cesar Ameghino told Ambassador Braden | that Argentina would live up to her commitments, and | that much preliminary work to reinstitute democracy south of the Rio de la Plata already has been done. | An even better answer would be some concrete step |in that direction. | | Who l’u7zles Whom? (New York Times) Since it is permissible to introduce grave matters |lightly there is the story of the little boy who was I'told to stop pulling the cat’s tail. He insisted that he was doing nothing of the kind. All he did was to hold on to the cat’s tail and the cat did the pulling. That is virtually the explanation which you hear on every side here at home for the sometimes tense state !of Soviet-American feeling. Soviet Russia can be accused of nothing more than holding on to the cat’s tail. It is we who have created the unfortunate state of tension by pullihg in what we consider the right direction. In every case of Russo-American misunderstand- ing, it is the assumption, in quarters mentioned above, that we are always at fault. We ignorantly or per- versely fail to understand the Russians and their use of language. The thought is never suggested that the Russians and their use of language may be hard to understand for us, and sometimes impossible to understand. Take a plain everyday word like “coalition.” A writer in Izvestia says that China’s great need is “a coalition government dedicated to democracy.” To realize that aim two steps are necessary. First there must be a national assembly in which all parties are represented. After this must come ‘“the removal of the reactionaries who now head the Kuomintang, the Chinese government party.” In other words, coalition as used in Izvestia means the elimination of the people Izvestia doesn't like. Compromise means a purge of one's opponents. If there is in the United States and other English-speak- ing parts of the world a gross misundertsanding of Izvestia’s stand on coalition and compromise it is because the English-speaking nations maliciously twist the meaning of these words, or are just plain dumb. Occasionally a woman may say “yes” or “no,” but never without mng a string to it. rene»y our own soldiers from providing food shener, The Washmglon Merry - Go-Round (Continued from Page One) Russiaps did notify the United States 'and Britain regarding the proposal to establish the Renner governgient.
