Tribune: "Japanese destroy 124 enemy planes in southern area." The kicker is the tally is from February 16 to March 5, and of course, the Bismarck Sea is not mentioned at all.

"Philippines Busy Getting Rid of Flimsy Americanism." Marquis Yorisada Tokugawa points out that the Americans made the Filipinos economically, culturally, and in every other way, poor, and forced the Filipinos to become dependent upon the U.S. — "whether they liked it or not."

The Japanese, of course, are thinking only of the Filipinos: Teaching us Japanese in schools; encouraging Japanese customs such as bowing and displaying Japanese Flags exclusively on every Japanese holiday (whether we like it or not); disabling radios; and inflicting chants of hate and racial prejudice on a daily basis.
