General King, who was com mander of the American Armed Forces at the fall of Bataan in the Philippines, gave a vivid descrip tion of the conditions which his army of 75,000 had to fight with no food or equipment. They were at the mercy of the Japanese guns. Of his outfit 12,000 were in the hospital, thousands of others were suffering from disease and hunger.

They are loyal, generous and trust worthy and they need help. The Japanese he found insincere, but he said, we must judge other people by the standards they are taugh' and not by our standards; and that since we will be dealing with people of the Orient in the years to come the more we know about them the better we will be able to understand them and be pre pared to deal with them.
