Hang Kong and sing- apore, publication ls certain to create public Pressure on boil: sides of the Atlantic for qulckened action against Japan.

Reaction in congress and parliament came immediately to bear out that expectation.

The officially authenticated tales oi almost Rnbelievable Japanese sadistic torture of sin-rendered troops went farther than could any spoken pledge to assure that all the might of Britain as vuzll as the United States and China will be focussed on the defeat cf Ja-pall Rs W?" as Germany

Yet publication of those lurrrliylrlg accounts was bound to arouse urgent demands for quidter action to br Japan w book for her \\’fll' crimes.

0n the day that Washington and London revealed details oi the sickening Japanese treatment of captured troops in the Philippines and in lost British bustions of the China sea. there were strong hints that the double thrust from south and east to clear a LOOO-mile-wlcle llfllhwfly through Japanese central and south Pacific Islands outposts is gainins moimclltuui.
