Tl-(OH-Si-eps designed to place Canada “in a po- sitio_n to meet the difficult situa- tions which will have to be faced when victory is won" were outlined in the Speech from the Throne to- day as being the main legislative task of the fifth—and probably last-session of the 19th parlia- ment of Canada.

In what many members regard as a pro-election speech the gov- ernment, the Governor- General, called on parliament to take long strides in the ield oi‘ so- three new departments concerned with post- war planning, to create new credit facllltie; for domestic and export business, to provide for the taking of the service vote at the next el- ection. to protect families against hardship by means of family al- lowances.

While proposing all these and other post-war measures. thr- speech also stressed that the war is not won. that hostilities may go on for e. long time. in Europe ss well as in the Far East and that the Canadian war effort must be maintained in full vigor until Germany and Japan are defeated.

WAQHINUION, Jan. 27--(APl-— A horror story scarcely paralelled in the annals of modern war—how the Japanese starved, tortured and in some cases wsntonly murdered the gallant defenders of Bataan-- was told tonight by the United States Army and Navy.

Documented by sworn stats-

ments of oifiara who escaped from prison camps. the Joint announce- ment descri ’ a cold-blooded campaign of savagery carried out “after the 90.000 Americans and Fl- llpinos on Bataan and Corregidor were overwhelmed by- superior numbers. The 4.000-word account began by telling of thousands of deaths in Japanese camps Americans died in two months in one camp) and then recited that:-

When the American; and Fili- pinos first were taken prisoner. those found with Japanese money or tokens were beheaded. Surviv- ors were beaten along a "march of death" from the scene.

Twelve-thousand men were kept penned in a. lotl-yard-Mullt H"! witout food for a week.

A widely used torture was the “sun treatment." Captives were made to sit in the boiling sun all day without cover and with little water.

The report was assembled from statements made by Cmdr. Mel- vyn H. McCoy. United States Navy, Indianapolis. Lt.-Col. S. M. Nell- nik, coast artillery, of Dunmore, Pa. and Lt.-Col. William E. Dyess. Air Corps, of Albany. Tex.

Dyess was killed in a crash of hter plane at Burbank. Cal-
