Repeated Protests Against Jap Cruelties Unheeded
A wartime AP dispatch from New York recalls Japanese atrocities in the Pacific, describing bayonet attacks on wounded American soldiers near the Bairoko river and Munda trail. Eyewitness accounts by Nicholas T. Kliebert recount brutal killings, mutilations, and sweeping assaults on litter cases, with Japanese officers leading the carnage.

Scant Hope for Improvement in Japanese Atrocities News
Washington reports repeated failures of diplomacy to curb Japanese atrocities. Senators push for immediate Pacific war escalation while a state department record lists 89 protests over two years. The document outlines mistreatment of captives, failure to observe international law, and specific grievances from prisoners and internees. A second item notes fifteen textile workers in Mexico City staging all-day strikes over new social security pay cuts.
