- Anonymous letter to LP [Postmarked this date]: “What a thrill to parents whose sons have been tortured to death by the beastly Japs, when they see the face of that grinning monkey, whom you have employed, while on the next page of the same paper we see the mute bodies of our sons who have died that you with your pro-Jap ideas, may live in luxury off of the salary paid to you out of the pockets of those parents whose sons you are willing to betray.
