Canadian And iLK, Prisoners Still Shaokled

OTTAWA, April 20 --(CPi— The External Affairs Depart- ment in a. statement tonight said that prisoners of the United Kingdom and (‘tan- adian fllrltits are still shackled at Sialag VlllB and other camps in Germany.

'l'hc statement said that on Feb. ll the British and Can- adian governments communic- pied to the Swiss government a request that their views on the question of‘ shackling con- tained in the commlllllcalltln he conveyed to the German gov- eriimcnt.

The German government had asserted it. would renounce measures taken against British and Canadian prisoners “only on the receipt of an assurance that instructions have been is- sued to our forces forbidding binding of German prisoners in any circumstances whatso- ever."

in the communication oi’ Feb. ll, the British and (‘un- adian governments said in- structions had lit-en issiicrl to the armed forces to ensure that all ranks should observe the terms of the Geneva con- vention, requiring that prison- ers of war must be humanely treated. ln those Infilrllvilonfl it ivas mflfic clear that a gen- eral ordcr to bind prisoners Wils illegal. But it added ‘ ir cumstances may arise in which binding of prisoners may be necessary and may indeed be in the best interest of the pri- soner- himself.“

Thc statement continued that the German government had replied "stating that the prin- ciple of shackiing is made ll- lusnry by the above reservation oi‘ circumstances, and they, therefore, insist on compliance with tiic earlier demands."

The Canadian government. in consultation with the British government. is considering what i-eplv should be returned. said the External Affairs De- partment state ‘

0n Last Night

FWar Situati

By Glenn Babb, Associated Press War Analyst

General Tojo has given his Japanese cabinet the most extensive shakeup since it was formed l8 months ago to lead the nation into will‘ against the United States and Britain. A number c! the entirely un- distinguished bureaucrats who have been willing to serve as his sub- ordinates have given way, in most oases, to others equally without in- dividual prestige or influence.

An exception to the rule of mediocrity among the newcomers is the Foreign Minister, Mamoru Shlgemitsu, whose selection raises some inter- esting conjectures. His career has been an outstanding one in the Mik- ado’: foreign service, including terms as pro-war Minister to China, Am- bassador tn Russia, Ambassador to Britain and finally Ambassador to the puppet "Government of China“ at Nrinking. lfis Ilussinn experience may have been a factor in his choice, since conciliation toward the-Soviet Union seems to be 'l‘okyo’s policy for the moment. Sliigcmiisu had some success in ‘" .. especially in settlement of the 1938 “vest pocket war" on the eastern liIanchurian-Siberian border.

Otherwise the shakeup appears to be the climax of Tojn's long cum- paign to make himself, as representative of the dominant rnliitary element,

i the sole repository of political] puwenlie would hasten to ntld, of course, l

that lic wields such power entirely "by the grace of the rlivinc cmpcrnr," l, being as he told parliament, merely "the moon receiving the light from l the sun." This was during the debate on legislation, which parliament lute; passed dutifully. empowering the Premier to take the place of any of hia Ministers in any matter affecting war production. This in effect gave him dictatorial control over the economic life of the nation.

Japan's political processes, mysterious even in peacetime, arc even harder to understand when we can only see them dimly through the veil of wartime secrecy. But the shakeup and the discussions which preceded it indicate strongly that Tojo encountered opposition to his program of total mobilization for war and that he has taken strong measures to break it down.

The appointment of General Kisaburn Ando, retired, as Home Min- ister, fits with this cxplztnation. Andn is one of the outstanding Japanese military fascists, vict- clinirman of the imperial rule assistant association, a body through which the army tried to wipe out the last vestiges of de- mocratic processes. Tlic Home Minister controls the poll". with firm"! powers over the population. Ando will be s. willing instrument of the Tojo dictatorship.

‘Success Follows Moonlight Infantry Charge; IIZAxisPIanes Destroyed In Two Days.

By WES GALLAGHER (Associated Press Staff Writer)

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AF- RICA, April 20-(AP)--Springing a powerful, sud- fden infantry charge by moonlight, the British 8th "Army has resumed the offensive at Eitflciaville ifllfl ‘seized mountain heights dominating the coastal lroad to Tunis 40 miles to the north, Allied head- [quarters announced tonight-

Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery loosed the as- sault late last night, and took his initial objectives in what appeared to be the start of the final of- fensive to drive the Axis from Tunisia.

in the skies, that offensive was already under way, with 112 Axis planes destroyed in two (lays by the mighty Allied air arm.

Montgomery's tough infantry troops, again supported by artillery, smashed ahead in a thi-ce- mile advance to capture the Djebel Garci, a 1.200- foot height commanding the area 12 miles inland from the sea, battle front dispatches said.

Heavy fighting still continues, said an Allied spokesman, who announced briefly that the assault "had “penetrated the Enfidaville position." The rit- tack into the hilly, heavily-defended Axis positions ‘followed a lull of a week of preparation by the methodical Montgomery.

(The Paris radio claimed that “two Anglo-Am- ,erican attacks in the region of Medjez El-Bab- and ‘Bou Arada, to the northwest of Enflclaville had ibeen repulsed." The broadcast was heard in Lon- ,don by the ministry of information.)

l Authoritative sources said‘ there was not ex- pected to be any sudden break through such as tvzis ‘typical of the desert actions, for the infantry must ifight for each foot of ground, and advance liilhby- ‘ihill, storming each strong defence post separately. ‘I Vlfhile the lit-h Army was the only ‘ NiW" w H ' ' l iforce mentioned in the Lnitia l drive, military circles said it was l ‘certain that other pressure would be brought to bear not only on the land but in the air and on the sea Fume “H.
