For these crimes, which are few, Japan should be utterly destroyed. Not a Japanese soldier should be permitted to surrender, not an officer to escape. Every Japanese man and woman and child should be made to know horrow, starvation and death. The greatest of traitors , the meanest of captors were 40,000 Jap civilians who had been in the Phil. for years as spies and sholiers. Incapable of pity themselves they should be treated pitilessly, and uncivilized and incapable of being civilized in our sense they should be treated as dangerous animals or devils. Christian feelings are shocked at this but they should not be shocked. We deal less with humans and more with the devil and with hellish representatives of the devil when we treat with the Japanese, but should hate them as an unholy dirty race of sneaky snakes who strike in the dark against defenseless people and against Christianity itself. Churches of every sect and creed pretending to and to Christian ideals and standing for justice and right should sanction every war efforts or our grand, glorious boys whose eyes grow hard and old and terrible when they talk of these brutes who tie their leg wounded in holes to throw grenades at a pursuing army, who kill their serously wounded comrades rather than let them fall into enemy hands, who murder and destroy enemy living creature in the times of defeat. We have a terrebly avenging force over the Pacific. They’ve seen and know and hate enough. We’ve seen then and heard them ^ say that any Jap, often after Manila, who is seen by a soldier of the Philipenes may will die. Those heardless, baby-faced boys you last saw are hard, cruel, men now and killers all. A lank Texas Combat Captain told me he gloried in burning their damn heads off with his flame thrower. A twenty-year old Ohio gunner of a tank cursed and swore because his guns jammed from over - heating. “By God,” he said “I killed a hundred in one corner.” We have guns and guts and brains, we’ve take a worse beating than you know or will ever know, but we have those yellow _____________ on the run and we’re killing them. They’re killing us, terribly much more than you know, and the road to Tokyo regardless of cost.
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

This personal narrative by Carr Hooper, written on his way home, details his experience in Santo Tomas Internment Camp in Manila, Philippines where he and his wife Ruth Hooper were interned. It includes an account of the first American air raid in Manila on September 21, 1944. The camp, also known as the Manila Internment Camp, was run by the Japanese military during World War II and housed over 3,000 internees from January 1942 until February 1945.
