Califor nia newsmen are unhampered by censorship, save common war correspondents. Moreover, these predominately California newsmen are hampered by censorship, save for common sense restrictions on information that might be of immediate aid to America’s enemies. That healthy picture of the relationship between press and public and government in our democracy at war was presented last week by John B. Long, general manager of the California Newspaver Publishers’ Association, before a representative cathering of western newsmen and advertising men at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. ‘“Today all of the war fronts 2nd maior world capitals find American newspaper” men mennine the bureaus of the AP, UP and INS.” Long declared. ‘‘secing thines with American eyes, recording them in American hearts, and writing them for American readers with American brains. Americans are the most enlightened people can newspaper readers. for the roll of California trained newspapermen in the foreign news service is amazingly large.” Interpreting his own news, Publisher Long attributed the vigor and thoroughness of American press coverage of the ‘war to a freedom that goes deeper than freedom from the blue pencil of extreme war censorship. ““The American newspaper publisher, large or small, daily or weekly, gambles his personal possessions and fortune if he has one, against his ability to produce and distribute a newspaper that_you and . as the readers in his community will accept and patronize,” he said. ‘“That’s what maintains his circulation. Circulation maintains his advertising. And that’s what I call economc freedom of the press.”’ “BETTER THAN HOLLYWOOD” Technically, it is a concentration camp—that new boom city of interned Japanese civilians at Manzanar. In Nazidom the term “concentration camp” connotes brutality, privation, filth, disease. hopelessness. From Manzanar, in Japanese sehontsey style, Emon Tatsui, of Hollywood, wrote the other day to his former employer, movie executive Murphy McHenry: It better than Hollywood. No blackout in here. There are libdreds plummer. Hundreds’so and so working hard to build ip. Good ‘ball ground. Baseball field. Swimming pool. School building. Dance-room is about start building then movie is character. A civilized nation could only treat interned enemv aliens in a humane and generous manner. But decency isn’t to be mistaken for weakness—as one Jap general must have reflected ruefully before MacArthur’ s thoughness drove him to suicide! [ ‘Irs A TWO-WAY OCEAN To the grim satisfaction of an America that remembers Pearl Harbor vividly, American bombers -have made the very palace grounds of the Mikado shake with jblastings from the skies of Nippon. The Jap now knows that the Pacific is a twoway ocean. But so must the American—particularly the Californian bear in mind that the revengeful Jap war jlords will never rest until, if it’is possible, they have bombed our west coast mainland. Our defenses are strong, but no coast is immune to attack*by sea-borne aircraft. _ If air raids do. come to us, it must be the role of Califor/M@ians to bear.the injuries and fight back staunchly—and never to entertain the thought of calling ‘the fleet home for our protection, but rather to urge that our forces attack Japan ceaselessly and mercilessly—attack and attack—until our lives and property are secured through Japan's utter defeat. The enrollees are to pledge that the newly formed state. militia—en_. tirely separate from the state and national guards—will be called into active service only in the event of an enemy attack by air or land and that even then, service will be obligatory only within the confines of A meeting of county officers with the enlistee’s home county. Governor Olson in Sacramento Frida was attended by District Attorney Vernon Stoll, Sheriff Carl J. ToDbiassen and City Judge Miles Coughlin. To the strain of martial music and with the assertion that military authorities ‘believe California has grounds for fearing invasion, Governor Olson at the meeting launiched a move to recruit a uniformed military of 100,000 boys and men. A proclamation calling for the enjistment of able bodied males between the ages of 16 and 65 was read ‘by Governor Olson. ntil the government is able to pply arms and equipment, the men © volunteer for this “organized reserve force of the California state ” will be expécted to supply own weapons, in addition to training and drilling on their own ni furnishing their own uni‘i ad ii ec ew teee Final Services ‘Held For Matt Ronta, 65. Final rites were held yesterday at the Holmes Funeral-Home here for Matt Ronta 65, caretaker at the Hoge Mine. Ronta died Monday afternoon at the Nevada County Hospital, where he had been taken a few days previous after he was stricken with an illness. : The deceased who engaged in mining in this county for the last forty years, was a native of Finland.
