  • When the first group arrived in Santo Tomas, the commanding officer demanded to know who the “yes1 man of the group was to be and the man who had told us “three day food and one suitcase of clothes” the man who hid on a dark staircase while four of us dared to meet the first Jap troopers entering Manila stepped forward and thereafter became and remained “yes man” to succeding Japanese commondents. We were hereafter informed of new regulations, orders, and commands through this chairman of a central committee. We pause here to say that the finest of men in contrast were represented on our elected Internee Committee whose protests against treatment finally resulted in the banishment to another camp of our best man, the chairman. Other men of merit made themselves beloved to us and obnoxious to the Japs by refusing and rejecting demands made by the Commandant not within International Agreement. Protests against employment of internees at rope making brought about the statement of the Commandant that the camp was run according to the wishes of the Japanese Imperial Army and not according to any League or Treaty Agreement. This was made obvious at the beginning and continued so until the end. A first statement issued was to the effect that several thousand people confined in a compound of a few acres and under guard should feed themselves. This startling order became less fearful when the guards permitted food to pass through the fences and later through guarded and organized gate zones. Filipinos—former employees, house-boys, servants, and friends brought all forms of food. Too the Phillipine chapter of the Red Cross began operation. Permission was secured to bring into the camp stores of the Red Cross, in warehouses outside, and representatives of Armour and Company, Swift’s, and other food products donated stocks to the Red Cross which were made available. These operations were carried out not so much by the Red Cross heads, but by men working through the Red Cross. The chief1 of this important body was too busy protesting this internment to care for this important function at this important time. Such methods of feeding internees was employed until June of 1942, at which time the Imperial Japanese Army provided that we receive seventy cents (35¢) per internee. This sum provided for food, light, medicine, and equipment. It is important at this time to record
