PROGRESS REPORT ON THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL COMMITTEE

The work of the Anthropological Committee would be helped if I have 7our permission to request certain 1n!'ormat1on trom UDderaeoretary or Commerce Ta7lor, Nelson Rockefeller, and Paul Appleb7 in Agriculture . Dr. Bowman feels that the State Department could not ver7 well ask for this information which was obtained under confidential conditions at the close o!' recent field surveys conducted in South America, Arabia, etc.

My thought was that I might see the officials mentioned and explain to them in confidence why this material would 9e valuable, and assure them that no improper use will be made of it~

REPORT ON EMPLOYMENT OF ALIENS IN WAR INDUSTRIES

Here is a letter from Bob Patterson with an inc losure which indicates that a joint policy bas been agreed on by war, Justice , Navy a nd the Amritime Commission, r egarding the employment of friendly aliens in war industry . With the exception of certain confidential work, friendly aliens can now be employed. On confidential work, aliens can be employed with the permission of the appropriate department in each individual case. This seems to represent a useful advance in the process of utilizing all human resources in this country •

REPORT ON SGT . HANFTAENGEL' S MANUSCRIPT ON THE HITLER YOUTH

Young Hanftaengel bas completed his llllnuscript on the

Hitler Youth. The last section is ready f or typing a nd t he

whole manuscript needs some further revision. Thereafter

Military In~ell1gence will scan it with a view to preventing

any leak of information which might embarrass the war - ef.fort .

At t his time , as previously arranged , Hanftaengel will be

available for the transfer to combat duty in the Southwest

Pacific .

There were three matters I wanted to suggest ·to you:

1 . I think you will be interested to read the manuscript

in its entirety as i t is a very impress ive human document , and ,

in part , could be effectively utilized for propaganda .

2 . Would you like t o see young "Putz111 before he goes

out to risk his life for this country?

3 . I think it would be fair if any publication which is

made of parts of this manuscript provided for payment to the

author . With this in mind , I made sure that he wrote it l n

his s pare time when not engaged on his regular assigned duties.

He , or rather hls fat her , ha~ contracted a number of debts ,

includin~ one for his educattonal expenses at Harvard . This

book at present offers the only pract ical way in which these

p . 2 .. June B, 1943 I

honorable obligat i ons can be discharged , s i nce "Putzi"

himself is without actual r esources , a nd if he had any

resour ces they would be frozen by the Al ien Property­

REPORT ON "PM" AND FOREIGN POLICY

On his return from North Africa, Ken Crawford finds that he bas practically written hi mself out of a job by reporting the facts to 11PM11 without refer­ence to the "party line". Ken is very enthusiastic with respect to Bob Murphy, and bel1eves that the Nort h Africa end was handled admirably . He says that the Communists have been busy, and are crucifying Murphy through "Plrl" and other New York contacts .

I am taking Crawford over to have a talk with Sumner Welles . It seemed to me that it might be possible to persuade Varshall Field to put Crawford in edit orial command

supplement the State

of "Pfl'1 and t o use the paper to

Department• s ~relations problems in the cri tical New Yor k area. I haven't discussed this poss i bility with Crawford because I do not know whether Fie ld has s i gned away in contracts his authority over the paper .

The earlier pr oposals f or a State Department public relati ons advisory committee i n New York has

MoiTopofll .. 4112 Mttropoflton 41 13

P . 2 June 8 , 1943

collapsed due to the reluctance of the indivi duals

involved to do anything , unless one of t heir number

is given some beautiful title etc: U~der t he circum­

stances , I thoueht that perhaps a less formal approach

to the problem, as outlined a bove , might be the most

pract ical way of clearing up present tendency of the

New York liberals to accept without question the 111 P.,t;(, .. tt(ri

Communist, or British, slQht on America's foreign "

policy .

You will recall that in llovamber 1941 the Preaidential. J'aot J'inding Oom&111ion in the railroad labor wage diepute paaeed down a deciaion vhioh vaa regarded aa wholly unaatiatacto~ by all five Railroad Operating ~rotherhooda. A. J'. Whitney, Preaident of the ~rotherhood ot Railroad rratnaen, at that tiae had in hie po11enion authorisation !'rora more thu 9~ of the ••berlhip of the !1Ye 0pC'at1JIC ~rotherhooda to call a atrike. A date vaa eet tor the atrike, and the aen vere euthoriaed to leave the propert111 D.cember 6, 1~.

Rigllt then, President Booaevelt entered the dtu.ation, called both eidee in the controver17 into ••••ion at the White llouaa. The Pr11ident1el. Jact J'ind.ing Board waa r .. conYened. an4 Vqne L. Morae, Oha1rman of the Board, acting aa aediat1on officer in a 69 hour eeeaion at the Raleigh llot el, effected a aettleaent on the very eve ot Pearl .Harbor.

A nation-vide railroad tie-up waa &Yerted.

It aeeaa to me t hat the coal aituation haa nov developed to the point vhere ~he above preecription eight be applied by the President.

M7 Judpent h that both aidea. to the diepute are verr orud.oua to eff ect a 11tt luent , and I auepect that it the Preeident vould call 1n the parties, and eome arr&~~&emont could be aade to han a 111m euch aa John :a. Steelman or V~e L. Morae or Dr. Leiaeraon aot aa mediation officer, that a deal could be made and the atrike aettled.

June 23, 1943

VON PAPEH, HITLER AND THE VATICAN

The news that Franz von Papen has been dismissed as

German Ambassador to Turkey should ~ be taken at face-

value.

In itself this change seems to prove the following

points:

1. Since the expulsion. of the Axis from North Africa,

Pantel~eria, and Lampedusa, German possibilities in Ankara--

through no fa~t of von Papen 1 s--seem to have become para­

lyzed for quite some time to come.

2. Consequently von Papen, who is one of the best

horses 1n the Hitler-stables, .is wasted at that point.

3. The fact that von Ribbentrop was directed to recall

von Papen does not necessarily have to mean that von Papen

is "out for good n, or 111n bad grace n. Perhaps Hitler has

his special reasons tor ordering von Pap en's "dismissal n.

4. Wherever von Papen has been employed up to now, be

it in Vienna or elsewhere, Hitler succeeded 1n gaining his

point. Ot Schuschnigg's post-Dollfuss Austria this proved

so signally true that the bon mot "QUi mange du Papen, en

meurt" came into use when discussing Austria's fate.

5. It has been pointed out (cr. Report XXXII, June 16, I

1943) "that Hitler probably already foresees the day when

J I

-

his tottering Italian partner no longer will be within the

Axis; that Hitler - Goebbela are gradually paving the way

for a rapprochement with the Vatican, with a view of sub­

at! tuting the Pope for the Du.ce; that Hitler would thus

strive to transmute the Axis into a Paxis, i.e. into a peace­

minded, (includable), quasi-Christian European factor; that

it may be assumed as likely that in such a case Hitler would

avail himself again of the services of a certain Papal

Chamberlain at present serving as Ambassador in Ankara." I

s. It eo happens that von Papen's "dismissal" coincides

with the visit of the leading German Bishops to Pope Pius XII.

7. It goes without saying that in applying to the Aus­

waertige Amt for their travel- permits and passports the

Catholic Bishops had to state specifically the interest which

attaches to their voyage, not only with re_i;ard to the ecolesi•

astio sphere, but to the German and National sphere as well .

(Possibly one of their secret objectives is to induce the

Vatican to intercede in some way against the bombing of German

"Catholic" cities and towns like Muenster and Osnabrueck ••••• ).

B. It has been assumed that the German Bishops might be

carrying peace-proposals eto., etc. This does not seem very

likely. Such proposals would have to go through some high

official of the Auswaertige Amt anyway.

,

'

- :5 -

9. It ia here that von Papen would appear aa a logical

choice--it only to reel the pulse ot the Vatican, and to re­

. port to Hitler on the activitiea and negotiations ot hie

Bishops .

ObJection:

Without doubt somebody might otter the following

obJection: "But how is it posaible that Hitler has such ulti­mate intentions, as long as we read: that ~Catholics are tar­

gets of abuse by Nazis' and that: 'the affiliated Nazi­Parties in Occupied countries , such as the Netherlands, France, and Norway, ahow increased hostility towards Cbr1stianityt•"

(ot . New ygrk Times - Saturday June 19, 1943, p . 2, col. 6,

bottom). •

Answer:

The answer to this is: People who ask that seem to have forgotten that the entire Hitler r'g1me is built on the

principle of dynamic chaos, produced by the eternal rotation of thesis, anti-thesis and syn-thesis, and that apparent ideo­logical incongruities only illustrate and prove this under­

lying law of Hitler's fighting style: Left - Right - Middle.

As has been pointed out in earlier reports: Since the loss of North Africa, Dr. Goebbels ia making steady efforts

, -

's •

in the province of the Foreign Broadcasts, to ' create graduall7

the impression as though the Roman Catholic Church were en•

joying tull and undia turbed recognition within the Reich. ( cf. I

the broadcasts describing the enthronisation or the new Arch-,

bishop of Bamberg). This transmission which took lt hours and

happened on Sunday, May 9 1 19431 i . e. 48 hours after the loss

of Tunis and Bizerta by the Axis, marks a possible turning­

point in the entire attitude of the Third Reich towards the

Roman Catholic Church.

Last evening (Tuesday, June 221 1943- 6 p.m. EWT), the

"Deutschland-Echo" even claimed in one of ita emissions that

the "Neue Europa" was fighting for the preservation of the

European Occident (Abendland) and CHRISTIAN CULTURE. Hand in

hand with repeated claims of that nature, the listeners are

informed that scores of Greek Orthodox Churches are being

built, consecrated or reopened 1n the Ukraine , that dozens of

Lutheran or Evangelical Churches are being provided for 1n the

former Baltic Provinces. There is, however, it seems, no cor-

responding zest on t he part of th~ Nazi authorities to help

along the expansion of Roman Catholic Church establishments

in Poland or elsewhere.

Query: How is it now that Hi tler shows himself so partial

to the Greek- Orthodox Church and the Luther an

Churches, while he more or leas neglects the

Roman Catholic interests?

..

- 5 -

Answer: The reason ia: In the case or the Greek-orthodox

Church Hitler's position ia that or the former

Czar, i.e. Hitler ia aupreme protector and as it

were Pope.

The same iA true 1n regard to the German Protestant

churches. ... Here Hitler has assumed the r ole formerly played by the Kaiser. That is to say , he is "LANDESKIRCHEN•HAUPT".

In the case or the Roman Catholic Church this place is

not only already taken, but its authority rests 1n the hand

of an extra-territorial personage, the Roman Pope . Thie fact, together with the century-old struggle between German Emperors and Roman Popes, furnishes the qualifying background to the

relations between H1 tler as Fuehrer of the Reich and Eugenio

Pacelli as Pope 1n Rome •••••

A few days ago the Berlin radio 1n quoting the words of

a leading Soviet figure said: "The Pope 1n Rome is Soviet

Russia's enemy No. 1" • and enlarged on the theme t hat Russian aspirations t oday, aa two hundred years ago, aimed at the

Adriatic Balkans, at F1ume - Zagreb - Belgrade and Montenegro . The tenor of this broadcast very likely corresponds to

what von Papen--if he comes to Rome--will try to sell to the Pope.

Dear Johns

At the dental surgeon ' s order I am spending the after­noon of today (Tuesday) at home as ,the result of a fairly complete extraction job but on Monday evening and early today I wae able to sound out several contacts on the matter we discussed over the telephone.

The o~nseneue is that the anti- trike l aw is bad legis­lation and that it will hamper the President in his war time handling of all but one phase of the labor problams which will arise . At the same time the majority feeling seems to be that it does give him power to clamp down on labor leaders if a John L. Lewis again forces a strike deleterious to the war production program. They do not feel, apparently , that if the President and his law enforcement officers lop off a few radical labor agitator heads that there will be any misinterpretation . They hold that the general public is extremely bitter about Lewis' actions before the law was passed over Presidential veto and that the public will not now sit baok and let the law take its course but will keep a sharp watch on developments .

Uost of the men I talked with had not read the law but indicated that they were awaiting ·a definite explanation of its scope from the proper authorities before going too far out on the limb in expressing their opinions.

I had the feeling while talking to these men that they are trying to be fair to the Administration awaiting an official analysis of the new law's powers and th9extent to which those powers wi ll be enforced .

The William Green speech generally' was accepted as a natural labor reaction to a law , whioh though only an emergency statute, is the worst obstacle placed in the path of the unions since the organization of workers began .

Attacks on the law by the rail road Brotherhoods --which are the nearest approaoh to a capitalist union organization in this country -- may swing popular sentiment against the statute , in the opinion of a statioian for one of the large New York banks . I ' l l probabl y be baok on the Job 100 per oent by to­morrow afternoon and whil e I have a eore jaw this afternoon it is helped somewhat by the news of the s igning of the deficiency bills . Regards,

Youre~.e.

that you had to know both sides to handle t be problems as they arose.

In this conn~1~~ ,:~. Futzi pointed out that the F.Q ,Q, Radio Intellieence

and same dist ort ion in handling European intercepts. Renry Field has the reports

in question, which are chapter-and-verse citat ions . PUtzi saye that be believes

to binder the primacy of various racial and religious atrocities, in assessing the I'

best friends were murdered at Dachau. But he believes that there is dancer of

ignoring the real importance or the X:atyn inc idsnt .

This is not only ot great interest to catholic Europe but 1 t is a challsnee

to the entire European officer-class (tbe "sun- deck" ) on ~hom we may eventually

depend to maintain order. Katyn baa thrown tbs' tear of the oa~yoo into all the

protection, and stated that his superior-- Chief \Vileon--should be advised. walker

has rendered and is rendering useful services and, since the President decided

that lll8111bere of this unit should have no positive identification, I am anxious

Aside trom the aluggiabness ot the work­men th8111selves at Yonkers, we t ound that a !ira with a rep­utation like Chrysler1 did a very sloppy assembl7 Job on the vertical driTes, ~eaTing metal chips , metal sbaviJliS inside the crank cases, not properlT lining up gears , etc. we had about a t.aoo Job 1n man hours correctilll Cheysler' s negligence. We also bad a realigDIIIent Job to do on another reputable u.nutacturilll concern at llacine, wisconsin -- the Twin Disc Co. It seeu to me as it the general point ot view ot crattsmen is "well enough" rather than ''lrell done" .

All in all, however, we expect to have the ship in t he Hudson .Kiver t or preliminaey testa by the end ot this month and then t o shift her within a tew days t o Long Island Sound and base her ·.at •ew London, Connec ticut 1 troa which point, during the firs t week i.n August, we rill. aalce a tn daTlight runs aDd the take the Trial Board aboard tor fotll&l tes t and trials. Perhaps you would lilt• . to Join us on one ot those daylight trips. I would be awtillly slad to have you. I will keep you in touch with the situation so t hat you can decide.

Bad a veey nice letter trom Sheila -- her second, in tact -- and I have ordered the extra prints she wants. Tbanks tor the c01ppliact transllitted through Sheila.

I understand Margaret dined with you l ast night, so she will be tull ot news when she arrives here t omorrow.

REPORI' ON HANFSTAENOL SUCCESTION FOR PROPACA1'DA LEAFLET FOR Cl!m!ANY,

Accompanying this report, are t~e origiMl drewines ~um:ny" for a propaganda

leaflet designed to be dropped on cerman:v.~ This has been prepar ed by putzi .:ith

the cooperation ot the other s associated with this project , on their own initiative ,

It ae~a to represent a sincere effort to usa putzi•e personality and knowledce of

Garman psychology in the interest of prevent1Jltl the Goabbels-Bitler plan to stage

a ~aombetta resistance• as the war goes against the AXis.

Prior to submittins theae tor consideration by the propaganda specialiats , r

think that a decision should be taken as to the political aspects of this project,

Hantstaengl says that this will mean danger to himself and to hie family and rela-1 .,..

tives in Garmany. It is also obvious that it involves capitalizine his personality,

in place of the present policy Of suppressing any public or international references

to Putzi. It 1tould also be logical to ass ume that S\llllll8r Welles oueht to be con-

sul ted end that the Bri tieh should be at least intonned, If these hurdles are

successfully sunnounted, a question ~ as to the effectiveness and timiD£ of

such a move will naturally ariee--a.nd that rests with tbe experts on psycholoe teal

w&rrare and must be considered in relation to other aspects of Cannan morale ,

P&reonally, I am convinced that this project was prepared in eoon faith and

as a patriotic effort to help in winnine the wa.r and, since both the political and

propaganda aepeote are matters in which I have no voice , I em simply requeetine that

you give the matter your consideration.

In connection with this recommendation, it i s i nteresting to note that in '\he Federal Register published Friday, Jul.y 16, 1943, advice is given that the Commandant of the U.S, Coast Guard has withdrawn approval of certain lifesaving suite,

The War Shipping Administration makes the following comment: "In view of the fact that such suite are now not approved, it is believed that the provision, that the suits now on board merchant vessels may be continued in servico provided such suite are in good and serviceable condition, will have little ef~ect on the seamen as a whole, and the suits vill undoubtedly not be used by ~lerchant Marine personnel,"

Compliance with the Recommendation No , 3 has not yet been effected for the reason that heavy type lifesaving suits with weighted boots are still being manufactured under the followins approvals of the Merchant Marine Inspection Section of the Coast Guard, ·

1, Overboard Suit (R, c. Goodall 1942)

2 , Victory Lifesaving Suit (Watertight Slide Fast~nora Oorp , 191!2)

Peon IJ.m, Chinese, Mess Steward , SS BT..NLOMOl.'D -----Interviewed at Emergency Rescue Equipnent Section; Coominator Research and Developnent, U,S, N., Ju~ 221 1943.

Present: Peon Lim; L1 Llilg Ai, interpreter; ]..t , COIDdr, E.F ,Hiscock; John P, Bader; Lt . Col, D. B • . Dill, OQMG; W. L, George ,*

The British freighter SS BSNLOMOND , Kerr IJ.ne, Glasgow, Scotland, omers, left Capetown, South Africa, Nov, 10, 1942, bound for Paramaribo,

· · This vessel was torpedoed, November 23, 1942, in approximate~ 00, 30N - 38. 45W. There was no warning, Peon Lim, the sole survivor, r eports no recollection of anyone ca.rryinB out abandon ship procedure nor of his own actions between time of torpedoing and finding himself swimming toward unoccupied raft. Poon Lim boarded the raft where he found sufficient rations and water to enable him to survive 55 days on the food aboard , 10 more on the wator available , After that he lived on fish caught on tackle of his o;m devising and on water collected during rain squalls , He was picked up April 6, 1943 by a fishing vessol ou'\ of Salinas, Paramaribo, having survived 133 days adrift -- an all time record ,

THE ACCOUNT

Suryivor 1s Background

Poon Lim is a native of Hainan, China , Ho gives his age as 25, although the interpreter boliovos him to be 23, He joined the British merchant seamen service in Hong Kong, China, in 1940, He is approximately 5 ft , 6 in, in height and, normally, weighs 150 lbs , The inter preter explained that Peon Lim r 3ceived the equivalent of an American hiBh· school education ,

The Raft - Food, VIator

On November 2.3, when the torpedoing occurred at 1415 GMT, the sur­vivor vaguely recalls soi d ng his whi t e mess jacket, conventional Chinese trousers and slipper.s , and daMinB a life preserver, His next memory is of swimming for some time, "about two hours" , when he sighted the unoccup!l..ed raft and climbed aboard. He had lost all clothing except the mess jacket, The raft appears to have beon ono of definitely British type. It was approxi­mately 9 by 12 f "et by about 3 to 9 feet high and IVIl.S equippod with stanchions and a tarpaulin that could be rigged for prot ection from sun and spray, There also appears to havJ beon canvas for rigging as a bulwark, Ho r cportad that he experienced no troubl~ in staying on tho raft and t hat he slept without fear , f oaling that th~ bulwark afforded him protection from being rolled or SY/ept overboa,rd,

* Tho survivor covered parts of his general story durinc< an intorvi011 in the of­floc of ~ on Ju~ 21, Ono of tho interrogators was pr osont at that time and utilized some. of the i nformation d eveloped i n tho prapnrt.~ion of this account.

E.R.E. Survival Account No. 1

Water was carried i .n a center well with outlets set a little in­board on either side, Rations aboard consisted of malted milk tablets , chocolate, gum, a kind of salty powder the identity o( which the survivor nor any of the interrogators could determ.ine and rectangular crackers of a hardtack type. The survivor said that the raft had been ~t aboard the ship at Hong Kong, where, Lt . Comdr. Hiscock believes, it may have been bui lt, The survivor recalls a metal plate bearing Chinese lettering, but not what it said , •

There was no medical kit, no £ishing kit, no knife , nor other tools aboard , (The survivor commented that knives were not given Chinese seamen .aboard British vessels, although British seamen did have them. )

There were smoke signals of some typu that could be held in hand during operation ..

The raft at times rode deep in the wator , but most of th~ time tho top deck was woll clear and dry,

Suryivor 1s Attitude

From the first , one of the most importa~t factors in the successful survival of this individual was his personal attitude toward his predicament, He said he felt that it ho was to livo, he would; if not, he l<ould die, and, as tho interpreter said, 11 Ho f elt there was no sense in worrying about it11 • This attitude of "taking things easy, " tempered with common sense, marked his attitude toward his rations. He said th~t he apportioned his food ond followed his apportionment schedule pretty well, although some days he ate mor e t han he was supposed to, but that tllis was balanced by eating less on other days when he felt less hungry. He says he did not ration his water, but drank nhat he wanted when he was thirsty. His food, under this system, lasted 55 days, his water 65 days . He reports no special effort to r~cord passaee of time or to keep track of position. He counted his duys in relation to the fullneso of the moon.

Raft and Ship Sighted

The survivor r eported that shortly after boarding his raft he saq four or five others op a raft in the diatanc~ , but loat sight of tho~ very soon , The interprot .. r commented that Peon Lim's present preoccupution was worrying over what had bocom& of these other potentinl survivors. •

On the seventh day following tho torpedoing, he sighted a ship und used the s moke signals to attract attention. The ship cam~ close unough to examinu him, apparently, for he r eports aomoon , on bo·1 rd ·nas wutohlne him through binoculars , Ho was not picked up, and, for this hia ox~1tion i s that ho 110s in aubllla1'ino 1.rav~llcd 1/at l.rs , that ho h11d seen a submo.rinG tho samo day and may have bean considcr od by thoao on th~ ship as a decoy.

peyises Fishing Tackle

The sighting of the shi p seems to have been the on.ly incident out­side a routine of dr;4'ting, sleeping, eating and thinking that lasted through­out the period "hen he lived on his rations, It mls characteristic of bi.s philosophic acceptance of things that be made no effort to obtain supplementary food until hie rations ran out , Then he \Vent to work to devise fishing tackle, He took apart the light pinned to his life jacket and took out the spring that holds the bulb in place , From that he i'ashioned a fishhook , He made a line by unravelling a rope lashing aboard the raft . He scraped vthat he believed to be barnacles from the raft for bait and caught small fish . Later he pried a nail from the raft and made a larger hook strong enough to hold bigger fish , He reported in an earli er interview when ona of the interrogators was present that he used his teeth to help get the nail out of the raft , He handl ed the larger fish by bringing them aboard and getting them under a hatchcover in the center of the raft ,

Supplementary Food and rlater

His use of fish ~s both for food and liquid , He ate the flesh , the heart , the liver and the eyes , lihat i'le.sh he could not eat, he dried in the sun for later use, He emphasized the point that he never ate dead fish . flhen his ·11ater ran out and he \Yes 17ithout rain water, he depended for liquid on blood from fish liver and on the fluid sucked f rom tho joints and marrow of the larger fish . In this connection, his personal philos!)phy ,.,as characterized when he said that whenever he was out of :Jatar and things boaan to look bad for him, i t \"IOuld rain, so he concluded, "The devil didn 't 11ant me11 , Tho canvas awning served throughout as his r ain collector,

He caught and ate birds that came aboard at night .

\"leather

The neathor at no tima during liis 1.3.3 days a ppoars to have boon continuously bad, nor did he ever experience storms of gale intensity, He reports that he \las often very hot, that he used the tarpaulin as an amdng to protect himself from tho sun, but he became heavily tanned early in his time adrii't , He said thgt without the armine to protect him from the tropic sun he nould have died, His mess jacket torn and in tatters afforded little protection, He reported na ill effects of sun exposure; no cracking or sores,

Health and Physical Condition

fie sai d he rms often cold at night, but suffered no chills . His health seems to have b::~en 15enerally fai r uith a fe11 exceptions . He suffered upset stomach L'rom some of t he fish he ate and bolioves 1 "They · ere the \'ll"ong kind" , He insisted he was newer seasick, Asked if hi a oy>ls !ICN affected by sunlight or glare , ho said they nere not, He experienced a progressive loss of 11eight; no greater, ho-,tever, during the period ~1hen his rations r:ere ~one

than \ efore. He estimates that he lost from 20 to 25 pounds during the whole period. Now, nearly three months after being picked up, he has regained 10 to'l5 pounds and weighs about 140. His interpreter, who has accompanied him for some time since he has been in the United States , says that Poon Lim nOll has little or no appetite , t hat he will tnke only milk, and that he reports having stomach disturbances . He believes he has worms . Similar manifestations occur in the stories or other survivors and may be one of the characteristics of a mild neurosis resulting from the strnin of sea survival experience. Poon Lim reported thst his feet and genitals were svtollen from exposure to sea water . 'l'his swelling would last a while and then go allay, but his f aot 11ould swell again follo'fl'ing any further immersion. At an earlier intervie;~, Dr. P. H. Futoher, N. M.R. I . , asked if tho survivor's lips or tongue wore ever cracked or swollen. The answer was that they were not. At that time , he told Rear Admiral J . A. Furer, Coordinator of Research and Development, U.s . N., that of all privations he suffered moat from lack of food .

Planes Sighted

One hundred days after the torpedoing, he sighted six aircraft . Ho says that he was apparently seen by the pilot of one of the planes, for the plane came down and circled him, someone uaved to him, and something 11as dropped thst colored the ~tater , probably a small fluorescein-co.ntaining marker . No one picked him up as the result of this incident. He did say that when he was in a hospital in llelim a man ·.vho visited the hospital identified himself as the o1•mer (pilot ?) of the plane that had circled him some five :1eeks earlier.

The survivor continued his life of fishing, drifting and catching rain water until the l33rd day 'llhen he was sighted and picked up b,Y a fishing vessel. On several occasions during the interviecr he stressed a belief that he could have lasted tl7o mon'ths more and also made a point of the fact that be stepped aboard the rescuing vessel under his 01m power.

Conclusions

The interrogators believe thst survival in this instance was the result of a combinntion of the individual's personal attitude to71ard his situati on, the largo supply of food and \later rations on board :1hat appears to be a 11ell•designed raft equipped ~'ith protective arming, staunchions and bubarks, and tho fact that the survivor had relatively good uoathor and 1m.s in the tropics near the equator free f'rom exposu.re to cold and protected by an amU.ng from the burning and dehydrating effects of the sun. The survivor's ingenuity in devising fishing tackle and his general adaptability to his circumstances must be considered important factor~ in the combination.

PROGRESS REPORT COVERING

THE PERIOD FROM MAY 29, 1943 to JULY 31, 1943 0

The work of this period was principally devoted

to the preparation of definite case studies; translating

and digesting several full- length papers in German,

Italian and Russian; revising and expanding the report

Settlement in Birobidzhan; and the completion o1' a

series of papers dealing with population movements in

the U.S. S. R. , France, Germany, Great Britain, the

Mediterranean Basin, the Balkan countries and India .

1. Case studies are now being prepared dealing

with:

(a) Settlement in Ethiopia .

(b) Settlement in the State of Paran!l., Brazil .

(c) Settlement 1n northern Finland.

(d) Settlement in the U.S.S.R.

(e) Settlement 1n Angola .

(f) Settlement in Manchukuo.

Jap~nese agricultural settlement in Manchukuo; the

establishment of strategic bases by settling Japanese

youths and veterans; and the est ablishment of White Rus­

sian colonies in the Great Khingan Region are being made

the subject of detailed investigations . It is impossible

at this moment to state when this study will be completed.

Dr. Yum of Chicago accepted our invitation to pre­

pare a study on the migration of Koreans, to be sub­

mitted August 15, 1943 •

Investigati ons are being carried out as regards

the settlement pr actices of Japan in Karafuto , of the

U. s . s . R. in Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, etc .

Special attention is being given to the gathering

of information concerning the later development s of

Greek settlements established--as a result of the popu­

lation transfers after World War I--in Thrace and llace-

doni a .

2. A study of the presence of lateritic soils in

Madagascar was completed.

3. A series of papers dealing with the agricul­

tural problems of the desert were translated and digested

from Russi an sour ces . Several di gests from Russian ' sources concerned wi th the agricultural problems in re-

gions of high altitude, control of soil erosion , drain­

age of fo.rest swamps , the irrigation of the Caspian Sea

region, and regional distributi on of agriculture are

now in the pr ocess of completion and will be available

for current distribution.

4 . The report Settlement in Birob1dzhan was re­

vised and considerably expanded and now contains in­

formation as to developments for the year 1942.

5 . Of the series on population movements the pa­

pers on the ~.s.s.R. and France were made available

for dist~ibution . Reports on the growth of the Ger man

and Italian populations are nearing completion. It is

expected that this series will present the demographic

trends of the major European powers and interpret the

significance, as regards migration and settlement, of

international demographic developments.

6. A survey was prepared, by Dr. s . Kutscheroff,

of immigration legislation enacted in the British Domin­

ions , Colonies and Mandates in Africa and of the admin­

istrative practices developed in the application of this

legislation.
