Australia's Foreign Minister
Releases Report On Jap
Treatment of Captives
London, Sept. 12 (UP.) For
eign Minister Dr. Herbert Evatt
of Australia demanded today
that "superior officers up to the
highest" presumably including
Emperor Hirohito and the imper
ial general staff be punished
for Japanese barbarity in the
Southwest Pacific.
He made the demand in re
leasing Australia's official re
port to the United Nations War
Crimes Commission on Japanese
cannibalism and tortures in the
Australian war zone.
Cannabalism Charged
The report charged:
1. Japanese soldiers ate flesh
from their own and American
and Australian dead in New
Guinea following the Buna
China campaign in 1942-3.
2. 150 Australians who sur
rendered under a white flag in
New Britain were shot or bayon
etted to death, a few at a time
in the presence of those still to
die.
3. Two Roman Catholic
priests, one a Dutchman and the
other an American, and two
Catholic nuns were bayonetted
to death in a New Britain village
about Aug. 19, 1942. The bodies
of the nuns were naked when
found.
4. Two American prisoners
were dissected and their livers
removed while they were still
alive in the Kokumbona area of
Guadalcanal in the latter part of
September 1942.
No Humanity
5. Japanese troops killed up to
59 natives and 36 Australian
soldiers without justification or
excuse at Milne Bay, New Guin
ea, in 1942. Many, including
women natives, were subjected
to frightful multilation and some
were used for bayonette prac
tice while they still were alive.
Evatt said the report, taken in
conjunction with the American
statement on atrocities released
last week, strengthened "the
confirmed policy of the Austral
ian government . . , that there
should be no immunity for trial
for war crimes for any Japanese
whatsoever."
Australia has informed the
war crimes commission that it
desires machinery be set in mo
tion immediately for the trial of
Japanese war criminals, Evatt
said. .
He said the Australian report
was based on the testimony of
500 witnesses and was prepared
by Justice Webb, chief justice of
Queensland for the war crimes
commission.
