Japanese Learn Staggering Costs Of Defeat In War Against America "TOKYO, Dec. 8 (If) Beaten Janan learned today on this fourth anniversary of her declar ation of 'War on the united States the staggering costs of defeat. Some of the newly reported "price tags": 1. Japan Is paying over $2. 200,000 daily to support Ameri can occupation forces. 2. Some Japanese war leaders may be tried in Hawaii for "mur der" because of the Pearl Harbor attack. 3. A diet member has de manded that Japan .regain China's friendship by restoring the loot obtained from that na tion. 4. Lt. Gen. Masaharu Homma, who led the Japanese to triumph In the Philipppines, is to be taken soon to Manila for trial as the man responsible for the "Ba taan Death March." 5. The Japanese reading pub lic for the first time is being presented an American army prepared outline of Japanese plotting which led the nation to downfall. 6. The first war criminal trials will begin at Yokohama December 17, the army an nounced officially today. On that date, an American military trib- ' unal will begin hearing the first of approximately 300 Japanese accused of atrocities against American prisoners of war. Occupation Cost Authoritative sources said the occupation is costing Japan over $2,200,000 daily, approximately one - fourth the extraordinary war expenditures during the closing days of the war. These war budgets resulted in heavy note inflation and a staggering national debt. Japanese officials say "we must do our best but the load is very heavy." General MacArthur's chief prosecutor of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, Joseph B. Keenan, indicated some of the plotters might be tried in Hawaii for "murder." War Premier Hideki Tojo will not be one of those, however, Keenan said. "Certain individuals at Pearl Harbor who were citizens of the United States were murdered December 7, 1941. (Keenan used the U. S. date). Their lives were taken with premeditation. That is murder in the United States," . he asserted, adding "if there is any violation of federal statutes involved there is no reason why we should not try them in Ha waii."5 War Trial Homma, who has been in Omori prison here and who de nied he ordered the "Death , March," probably will go to Man ila within a few days for trial as a war criminal. Demand for the return of property stolen from the Chinese came in the diet's house of rep resentatives from Llberalist Ta keo Klmura. He also accused Premier Baron Kijuro Shide hara of "doing nothing to solve!
