Show Pretense of Extreme By TDM WOLF NEA Staff Correspondent i AMSTERDAM. Nov. 5 Six months after V-E day, this IS Europe's most deceptive city. -I More, than any other metropolis of a belligerent nation, Amsterdam Amster-dam outwardly appears normal. Houses and streets are clean and well cared for. There1 is none of the gray, tired aspect of London or Paris. Flowers in the parks and for sale on every street corner cor-ner lend color and gaiety lacking elsewhere in Allied Europe. Store windows are bulging full. Yet behind this prewar atmosphere atmos-phere which veils conditions today, to-day, lurks the fact that Amsterdam, Amster-dam, like all Holland, is in desperate des-perate need of everything in the economic dictionary. Of all Allied countries, excepting only Poland, Holland is in the most dire need. It is a shock to come to Amsterdam, Ams-terdam, having heard countless stories of its extreme poverty, and then to see windows of candy stores, food shops, and tobacconists tobaccon-ists overflowing with multi-colored cartons and cans and boxes. It is then a double, shock to find all these containers are empty. The Germans made the Dutch merchants keep up the pretense of plenty. Today the merchants are too proud to show less than they did daring the occupation. CONDITIONS BAD Conditions in Holland when the Allies marched in right after VE day were, again excepting Poland, Po-land, the worst in Allied Europe. All last winter Amsterdam had Relief At Last For Your Cough Creomulslon reUeres promptly be-Maaitt be-Maaitt rajt toj sea of toe trouble to help loosen and expel germ laden phlegm, and aid nature to soothe and heal raw, tender, inflamed in-flamed bronchial mucous membranes. mem-branes.

CREOMULSION for CoustetCoest Colds, Bronchitis An Open Letter To The People I am thoroughly convinced that a movement for a charter is just another step to take democratic or representative rep-resentative government away from the people. The adoption of a charter would put us just one step nearer to fascism and while we should be concerned with the general welfare of our people, we cannot afford to destroy de-stroy the very fundamentals of our republican form of government. It appears to me that too many of us search for a remedy without diagnosing the disease. Our form of government is fundamentally correct and needs little revision. What we need is men and women with more ability and common honesty, with vision to administer the laws we have. If, in the nation and its political subdivisions, we could eliminate personal and political greed and apply fundamentals we would be healthy and secure with what we have. Sincerely yours, ABE W. TURNER Justice Supreme Court of State of Utah (Paid Political Advertisement) ' rai&L My term as City Commissioner of Provo City is nearing its end. I have enjoyed my work immensely. The employes of Provo' City, are a fine, conscientious group of workers, and it has been a valuable and pleasant experience to work with them. I have helped to conduct the affairs of our city with one aim: TO MAINTAIN THE HIGH STANDARDS OF HOME AND FAMILY LIFE, AND TO ENCOURAGE BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION, EXPAN-SION, WHICH ARE ALWAYS A PART OF A GROWING, PROGRESSIVE PROGRES-SIVE CITY. v . If my administration has had any measure of success, I feel that I am entitled to a second term to help carry to completion some of our work already started. .

Over KOVO) Dtssai Poverty rr Chi .1 Amsterdam, industrial center of the Netherlands and the Dutch Empire, presents a brave front, but poverty stalks nonetheless. Shoppers who throng the business district find little to buy. no coal, no gas, n electricity, no transportation and no food. During Dur-ing the last weeks before the liberation most people here lived exclusively on frozen potatoes and decayed cattle fodder. Thous ands died of starvation. Life was at ebb tide. Today, on the verge of another winter of want, the Dutch have accomplished comparative wonders. wond-ers. There is a subsistence diet high in bread and vegetables, low in fats and meats. The meat and butter shortage is another study in contrasts; for here you see tens of thousands of. cows on the marshy plains surrounding the city. But they are last- spring's calves, too young for milking or slaughtering. Holland's two greatest shortages short-ages this winter will be clothes and transportation. You see plenty of clothes in the windows of the fashionable ships lining the city's stately canals. But if you look closely, you also see a sign "decoration." There's no clothes rationing in Holland. That's -because there are no clothes to be rationed.

A friend of mine has had his application in for one shirt for four months. He still has had no reply. It's going to be a hard, cold winter even if every one gets the half ton of coal that is promised. The transportation situation is frightful. The Germans literally stripped the country. . They took not only locomotives and freight cars, but the equipment and tools from the railroad shops. They even took down the copper wire from the overhead electrification which was the pride of the Dutch railroads. The Nazis wrecked the cranes and sheds of Amsterdam's great port. Only the fact that Liberty ships carry their own heavy cranes has restored port capacity to something approaching normal. As for land transport, the Germans Ger-mans blew up most of the great bridges spanning the lower reaches of the Rhine which multi-sect the country. There are some cars and trucks but no tires. Most of the thousands thou-sands of bicycles on Amsterdam's cobbled streets are tire-less, or have tires made of thin strips of solid, tuneless rubber. , They are almost all girls' bicycles, too, for the Germans took men s bicycles rfor the Wehrmacht. i The Dutch think they will just manage to squeeze through the winter. No one will even guess how long it may be before there is a semblance of normality in the domestic economy. Super imposed on the destructions and pillaging of the war is the shadow of the loss of raw materials in the East Indies. And the loss of the great prewar market next door in Germany.

Artemlo Ricarte for an hour and a half without getting him to retract-any of his damaging, accusations against Yamashita. Lapuz on Saturday had named Yamashita as the author' of the notorious order under which Japanese forces murdered, raped and otherwise tortured thousands of civilians in Manila last Feb ruary. Yamashita is on trial for his life before a military tribunal. He 'is charted with responsibility for the Manila massacre and other war crimes throughout the Philippines Philip-pines during his command of the archipelago from October to last September. Lapuz testified that the Japanese Japa-nese brought Ricarte, who fought the. Americans at the turn of the century, out of exile, and sent him to the Philippines with ultimate aim of establishing a dictatorship once the islands had been "liberated" "lib-erated" by Japan. The prosecution called Joaquin Galang, another Filipino collaborator, collab-orator, to corroborate Lapuz's testimony. Galang said he was present at an interview between Ricarte and Yamashita in December, ' 1944" when the Japanese general announced an-nounced that henceforth he considered con-sidered all Filipinos as enemies. "Let's not talk about it any more,," Galand quoted Yamashita. "I know what's really happening." Galang said Ricarte interrupted to ask Yamashita to revoke his order "to kill all Filipinos and destroy de-stroy Manila." Yamashita frowned and clenched clench-ed his hands, Galan said, then told Ricarte: "An order's an order. It's my order. Because of that, it ought not be disobeyed and it will be carried out." Dominador Santos, Manila police detective, testified that he saw six Japanese carry dynamite into a building which 20 minutes later was wrecked by a blast. Another witness, Armanda Al-vardez, Al-vardez, said he saw Japanese hrow gasoline-soaked rags into the bank of the Philippines, then set it afire.
