crushing ous outlawry in

entire towns by force of arms, This lawlessR%" ™ ness sprang from; ! G war. The Japa- |||! Mr. Whipple nese destroyed ||| not only material resources but also the moral strength of many victims. ||| The Jap military government was | .&. brutal, It encouraged criminal ele- | i ments and reduced the capacity to| + resist evil among normally moral | people. The Jap regime also threw into | the hands of hoodlums an almost ||| limitless supply of weapons ranging ||| from cheap pistols to heavy ma- || chineguns, hundreds of which are!||| now hidden in the interior. Hip Thievery Was Rampant | When I came here with the! American army last summer, crimes and violence in the capital caused’ widespread concern, i Thievery was rampant and hun- ||| dreds of holdups were reported every night. Warehouse burglaries reached an organized scale that kept military police constantly alert.

His lack of moral sense astounded social workers, Kidnapers Captured The wave of kidnapings rose steadily through the winter. In ||| most of these cases the police were baffled because victims preferred to pay rather than face death . threats which certainly would have | h been executed.
