LUZON BATTLE
in
NOT YET LOST
; By DeWITT MacKENZIE
i World Wide War Analyst
' The position of the Philippines
is increasingly grim and grave,
but while we shouldn't seek
refuge in dim hopes we are not
yet forced to final conclusions
regarding the outcome, especial
ly since the United States navy
promises "positive assistance to
the defense of the Philippine
islands."
Of course we can accept it as
certain that unless "positive as
sistance" does arrive, the islands
will be temporarily lost. The
Japs are continuing to land
troops in southern Luzon, the
menace to Manila increases, and
in due course the invading
weight will become unbearable
If it isn't halted.
Obviously much depends on
the nature of the aid and how
quickly it arrives. The immed
iate burden rests on the broad
shoulders of General MacArthur
and his magnificent little army,
that is, the problem of hanging
on until help comes over the
horizon of the vast Pacific. That
burden is great, for the Japs
are going all out in an effort to
make a quick killing and they
are doing it without regard to
the laws of humanity,
The deliberate slaughter of
civilians in the defenseless and
' open city of Manila by Japanese
bombers gives fresh point to a
threat made just before Christ
mas by Nazi Propaganda Minis
ter Goebbels. He declared that
Germany, Italy and Japan are
"going all the way" in the war
and, being forced to defend their
lives, "they will do it in a man
ner which knows no sentimental
considerations."
Now the Japs have interpret
ed his meaning in a bloody holo
caust, of innocents. They have
staged a studied exhibition of
f rightfulness, after a careful sur
vey of Manila from the air to
make sure that it was indeed
without defense. The purpose of
this was to shatter the morale of
the civilian population and thus
cause a collapse of Filipino re
sistance. What the ordinarily
softly-spoken Secretary Hull de
scribes as the same practices of
fiendishness have been employ
ed against the Chinese, in de
fiance of numerous protests by
our state department.
However, it isn't surprising
that this should be so, and it
seems to me that we should ad
Just our outlook to a situation
which is likely to intensify. In
this connection we have the sen
sational statement made in Istan
bul by George H. Earlc, Ameri
can minister to Bulgaria, who
was rushed out of Bulgaria be
cause of rumors of a nazi plot
against him.
Earle asserted that "German
fortunes definitely are declining
but the death throes may be un
precedently violent." He added
that there is some evidence the
nazis are planning to aesiroy
everything in any of the occu-
Died countries which they are
forced to leave the "biggest
vandalism in history."
