YANKS MOP UP
ON MINDANAO
Digging Japs Out Of
Mountain Caves Still
Hazardous Work
__ l
MANILA, May 25—<£>>—Fighting
on Mindanao Island was officially
termed In the "mopping-up stage”
today but thousands of Japanese
troops remain to be dug out of j
mountain positions before the big \
southern Philippine island can be
considered won.
The enemy’s Mindanao garrison,
once estimated at 50,000 troops,:
was bisected Wednesday when the
31st Infantry division, sweeping
north along the Sayre highway,
met the 40th and American divis
ions which came down from Maca
Jalar Bay.
Associated Press Correspondent
Richard Bergholz reported that
advance elements met near Impa
lutao village, recent headquarters
of the Japanese 35th army. The
juncture was lightly opposed.
Splitting the island from north
to south was largely a victory for
the engineers. Scores of enemy
blasted bridges were rebuilt hastily
to keep the swift columns rolling.
CAVE-BY-CAVE
The campaign forced the Japa
nese from the central plateau into j
mountains where the inevitable i
cave cleanout now confronts the
doughboys.
The heaviest fighting on
Mindanao was north of Davao,
where the 24th division still
was rooting out last-stand
Nipponese between the Davao
and Talomo rivers. Lkanan
airdrome nearby still was in
Japanese hands, although 24th
divisions doughboys were ap
proaching it against moderate
resistance.
One regiment of the 24th,
meantime, moved up the Davao
gulf coast and joined a guerrilla
force driving south.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur said
today the juncture in north-cen
tral Mindanao completed the
Yank hold on the central road net
of the island.
Formosa took another heavy aer
ial pasting. Escorted heavy and
medium bombers dropped 235
tons of bombs on air bases, rail
way yards, barracks and industrial
plants.
SEA VICTORIES
Two Fifth Air force Liberators
flying up China’s Yangtze river
sank or damaged five freighters,
the largest 5,000 tons.
A navy privateer set nine Japa
nese landing craft afire 60 miles
northwest of Foochow. An ocean
going tug was sunk by another
privateer near Hong Kong.
The Thirteenth Air force and
Seventh fleet sent 90 planes a
gainst Borneo targets. An 8,000
ton freighter was sunk at Balik
papan.
Australian troops on New Gui
nea captured Cape Moem, four
miles west of Wewak. A strange
sidelight on that campaign was
the finding of 7,000 small boxes
of Japanese ashes at Wirwui Mis
sion, three miles south of Wewak.
The ashes were believed to be
those of cremated Japanese dead
from fighting, bombing and dis
ease since the Nipponese landed in
that sector in December, 1942.

Osmena Refuses
To See Sons Who
Aided Japanese
MANILA, May 25.—(&h-President
Sergio Osmena of the Philippines
said today he had again declined to
see his two sons who are in prison
on charges of collaborating with
the Japanese.
Osmena told the Associated Press
he had no knowledge of when they
might be tried.
“The entire matter is in the
hands of the army,” the president
said. "I am remaining completely
apart from them.”
He said his sons—Nicassio and
Sergio, jr.—had asked to see him in
order to present their side "but I
refused to see them because the
matter is entirely out of my hands
and I want to show them they can
not expect any special consideration
because of me.”
The president said he was con
fident his sons would be given a
fair hearing when and if brought to
trial but “they are on their own.”
Osmena said he had formed no
opinion himself on their guilt or1
innocence.

danger period. If we can pass
through that safely, then the sail
ing should be Increasingly good.
There are numerous factors en
tering into this danger-period but
the most important are these: (1)
Mutual suspicions of political and
economic intentions, and (2) the
fact that the Russian and British
spheres of influence are undergoing
radical changes as the Red tide ad
vances westward and covers zones
over which John Bull and Prance
heretofore have held sway.
The Yugoslav difficulty illustrates
the point very well. Yugoslavia
comes within Russia’s new zone of
influence and it’s a fair assumption
that this fiery Balkan state’s politi
co-military leader, Marshal Tito, in
making his claims would act in a
manner which he thought would be
acceptable to Moscow. If this as
sumption is correct, then it's logi
cal to conclude that Tito was in
spired by Moscow to adopt a conci
liatory attitude In face of the An
glo-American opposition to his oc
cupation of the disputed territory.
Anyway, one hopes that this is what
happened, for it would be a good
sign. This column last Monday fore
cast that Russia would thus ease
the situation.
Another concrete illustration
cropped up yesterday when the Rus
sian commentator "observer,” writ
ing in the Moscow newspaper Iz
vestia, declared a report that the
Soviet Union was seeking Korea,
Manchuria and Formosa was "ir
responsible slander by persons of
unclean conscience.” Well now,
Russia hasn't made any claim to
these territories but either there is
a "suspicion” that she wants them
or somebody is deliberately trying
to make trouble by spreading such
a report.
The communist “Daily Worker” of
T tnrlmr ernrra orlttAvJolhr
the British government has ‘'assist
ed in building up a so-called Polish
army whose officers frankly boast
they live for nothing but the day
when they can fight the U. 6. S.
R.” Previously the Russian army
newspaper “Red Star” in Moscow
had asserted that the London Pol
ish government was training an “in
tervention force” for use in Poland
—a claim which Polish quarters in
London promptly denied.
Well, so we could go on but it
all adds up to this: The greatest
service the forthcoming meeting of
President Truman, Prime Minister
Churchill, and Premier Stalin can
render will be to iron out the sus
picions, and the causes of the sus
picions. Presumably they deal with
ill the European and oriental situa
tions which give rise to anxiety—
and they are numerous.

HITLER’S
Starts On Pate One
ler’s statement to his officers open
ly belied the Nazis’ excuse that
they had started the war because
of alleged Polish provocations.
Hitler outlined his plans made in
peacetime for war preparation in
this order:
“First, immediate introduction of
universal military service.
“Second, re-establishment of
German sovereignty through the
occupation of the Rhineland and
the creation of a fortifications
system.
“Third, immediate annexation
of Austria, crushing of Czechoslo
vakia and ultimate crushing of
Poland in order to bring Ger
many, territorially, to a position
for effective defense.
"These were the essential pre
liminaries for the war of the fu
ture. There is not only military
preparation, there also is territor
ial preparation for a big war and
in this respect we with limited
space were very badly off.
UNAVOIDABLE
“If the course we then proposed
to take should lead to a big war,”
Hitler continued, without specify
ing what that course was, “ob
viously war would have to be ac
cepted. Because it was better to
accept it then in a moment when
we were ^ superlatively prepared
than at some other moment in
which this advantage might have
been lost. That one can not avoid
war by refraining from striking
was demonstrated by world war
one.
“Finally there were psychologi
cal considerations, one being the
mobilization of spiritual forces of
the German nation. One cannot
drain off enthusiasm and willing
ness to sacrifice for any cause and
preserve it in a bottle.
"These qualities show only once
in the course of a revolution and
gradually weaken. The grayness
of everyday activities and the
comforts of life turn men into ac
customed channels and they be
come petty gossips. What we a
chleved through national socialist
education, through a gigantic wave
that engulfed the people, we could
not afford t*o waste.”
Hitler wo^ .ed up to these ad
missions after telling the officers
he had considered himself Ger
many’s greatest opportunity for
perhaps the next half century to
acquire “safeguards.” He said:
SELF-FAITH
"In my life I have had to reach
the gravest decisions. Such decis
ions can be reached only by a man
prepared to renounce every per
sonal consideration. I was convinc
ed that in the next 10, 20, 30, may
be 50 years, no man would appear
in Germany with more influence
on the nation than I, with greater
zeal in reaching decisions. I be
lieve the years to come will prove
I judged rightly.
“Therefore I held it right to ex
ploit the situation very soon (in
1939) so as to bring about clarifi
cation that was necessary—not to
bring about war, but to effect
safeguards that would be neces
sary if Germany were attacked.”
He then proceeded to outline his
“safeguards,” only admitting they
really were war “preliminaries” as
he enthusiastically finished list
ing them.
Hitler told the division com
manders that German Ardennes
offensive, which resulted in the
month-long battle of the Belgian
bulge, was necessary to convince
the Allies that the war would not
be won and to show Germany’s op
ponents they could never calcu
late on/capitulation.

that in view of commitments al
ready made to Russia at Yalta they'
can not press it. Russia has been
standing firm on the Yalta for- j
mula which provides that any one]
of the big powers can “veto” a coun
cil decision to take action.
Last night a committe of United
States, Russian, British and Chi
nese officials drafted a statement
in reply to small nation questions
about this formula. This statement
promises that any nation, great or
small, may bring a dispute before
the security council and that the
council may discuss it, without
taking a vote. Thus the veto could
not be used to prevent the airing
of charges and counter-charges.
| Beyond that point—when the
council was deciding whether to in
! vestigate the dispute or what other
action to take—a vote w’ould be re
quired any one of the big paw
ers—Russia, Britain, the United
States, France or China—could pre
vent council action by voting “no.”
ONE LIMITATION
The only limitation under the
; Yalta formula is that if one of the
big five, or any other of the 11
1 members on the council, was itself
| involved in a dispute, it could not
| vote as long as only (1) investiga
j tion and (2) peaceful settlement
1 decisions were being made. Once it
came to a question of using force,
however, each of the powers would
have a vote, accused or not.
The statement worked out by the
j big four technicians now goes be
j fore Stettinius. Britain's Earl of
Halifax, Ambassador Andrei Grom
yko of Russian, and Foreign Min
ister T. V. Soong of China—the
chiefs of their respective delega
tions. They could change it dras
tically, but there is no indication
that they will.
Once they have put it in final
form, it goes before a conference
committee which has been debat
ing the big power voting proposal
for the past two weeks. There the
test will come. To block the small
nation amendments the big powers
need at least 17 votes—their own
five plus 12 others. The word today
is that they have at east that
many assured.

warship take him to a French port ^
was said to have been accepted by
the British foreign office, but it was
reported here that Britain later
balked. Laval may eventually be
flown back to France.
Even as the French committee
spoke out, the communist party
publication L'Unita in Rome call
ed on the Italian government to
break off diplomatic relations with
Spain, charging that Franco was
giving refuge to high ranking Fas
cists. •
The newspaper asserted that
Filippo Anfuso, Italian Fascist am
bassador to Berlin, had arrived in
Barcelona late in April aboard a
•croat plane" and was using the
name of Count Monti of Monsas

"Pending application by the
democratic governments of the Yal
ta decisions, which provide for
complete destruction of all rem
nants of Fascism, let us for once set
the example by breaking with
Franco.”
