AN EAST COAST CANADIAN PORT, Jan. Z(}—(C'P)-(F‘our em- aciated seamen told tonight how 12 fellow sailors from a torpedoed British freighter died in a lfeboat as they drifted 18 days on the At- lantic in bitterly cold weather.

The exposure-weakened seamen said that another 1a crewmen of their vessel-the LIBZ-ton Carlton -had set out in a. second lifeboat when the ship was sunk by an It-- alian submarine Dec. 20 and notli- ing was known of their fate.

One by one, they said the men in their lifeboat died of exposure as winter winds and icy spray lashed them clay after day. Some of the group huddled in the toss- ing little craft went mad, the sur- vivors declared.

Drinking salt water hurried the end for some of the men, and those who reached here today aboard a British freighter said thev died in agony. '

The four rescued, all British, were hustled off to hospital here as soon as the rescue vessel dock- ed. Two of thcm had their feet badly frozen. and all were suffer- ing from the ravages of exposure.

They said the Carlton. bound from Britain for South America, Put up a gflllflnt fight: with noth- usz but a Hotchkiss machine gun brforc the submarine sent her to the bottom. she tried for more than five hours to evade the un- derwater craft.

Columnists work ln Ontario

QUEBEC, Jan. 20 —(CP) --Prem- ier Godbout at a press conference today charged that "the work of fifth columnists" is behind adver- tisements iii Ontario newspapers which he said allude to "thc 1 ig ious aspect of the Sirols Commission report" and ask “Should this Dom- inion be mortgaged for the church in Rome?"

(Premier Goclbout did not identify the papers nor whom he considered sponsors of the advertisements.)

“The main object of all i111... it is unfortunately all too apparent, is to preach and create division and disunion. among Canadians ..in dif- ferent parts o the Dominion."

Another advertisement in an On- tario paper, ihe Premier said. ask- ed “if the Roman Catholic allies of Mussolini in Canada will tie the hands of thc Dominion and still its voice?" The aclvertisiziiient. Mr. Godbont said, asserted that he had boasted of this in Quebec.

“Such advertisements, as we all know. cost money," the Pruinei" said, "and it is quite clear that this individuals lccfurcs form part of a well organized campaign and that c.1052 backing it do not seem to lack money."

Goal If

TOKYO. Jan. 21 —(Tucsday) — (AP) — Foreign Minister" Ycsuke Matsuoka told the Japanese dict today that Japan. Germany and It- nly will acccuiplish their goal of a new world order "if only given time," and expressed hope that the United States will bend her utmost efforts to allay the impending crisis of civilizition." .

Should both the United States and Japan become iuvolvcti in war because of thc Triple iViilLa y Alliance, he said “no one could guarantee that 1L ccukl not develop into a war spelling the downfall of modern civilization."

United States trade embargoes a- gainst Japan, he said, left Japan no alternative say-e to build up a self-sufficient sphere in Emit Asia, and he declared the Unizcd Slates "had evinced no adequate under- standing" that sucl; a sphere "is truly a matter of vital concern to Japan."

"British Dcminions and colonies are in various ways interfering with Japan's shipping," he claimed.

He represented the military zil- iianre with Germany and Italy as a device designed to "prevent fiir- ther extension of present disturb- ances," and asserted Germany and Italy shared his country's desire to 1 remove Japanese-Russian misunder- standings,

"Some of these pending issues (with Russia) are now well on tho way to settlement." he said.

‘Establishment of a new avorll order, the goal of the D0l.'v'0l'll.ll triple pact. if onlyiigivcn time, \Vlll sugely be accomplished," he contin- ue .

"There is no roan for doubt that

‘it will be crowned with brilliant‘

success. If the Japanese people are fully and firmly prepared for this ~. task, the future of our empire will indeed be great and glorious."
