' his biennial report to the Secre
j tary of War.
At a time when methods of at
tack hitherto unpublished may
i subject New York, Detroit, Chi
I
cago or San Francisco to a rain of
annihilation from points thou
sands of miles from this continent,
Marshall said United States should
provide a permanent peacetime
army built around a corps of men
who have recieved one year of
compulsory military training and
encourage the National Guard, and
j maintain a regular army compos
ed primarily of a strategic force
with emphasis on the air power,
with part of it deployed in the

Released Prisoners
Shout ‘Down With
Imperialism*
TOK^ O, Oct. 10— (/pi —Liber
ated political prisoners emerged
from behind the massive walls of
four Jap prisons to the acclaim
and welcoming of Communist
crowds shouting opposition to the
Imperial rule, while the newly
formed National Federation of
Toilers arose to defend the Im
perial house and to assail the
Reds.
The Jap Navy chief and pay
master Vice Adm. Yamamoto
meanwhile disclosed the navy’s
impounded fortune of several mil
lion dollars acquired from the
conquered nations and from the
Jap people themselves, which was
paid for abroad in now worthless
military currency, and at home in
promissory notes which were
never redeemed.
The promoters of the newly cre
ated federation have resolved to
“wage a determined fight against
Communism, which aims at the
extermination of our unique na
tional policy under the Emperor.
The federation and another
group are favoring the drastic
overhauling of the Jap Diet rose
suddenly as the new Liberal Pre
mier Shidehara said in a broad
cast that there is “no military
clique and the bureaucrats’ power
political power has been broken.
All politics and economics will be
determined by the will of the ma
jority.”
Sixteen liberated prisoners
walked through the prison’s mas
sive stone wall, to be hoisted im
mediately on the shoulders of the
cheering crowd of three hundred
Jap Communists and Koreans.
