CALIFORNIANS COVER THE WAR
With the world one vast battlefield, with propaganda as
important as panzers and words as deadly as bullets. 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.

grounds for fearing invasion, Governor Olson at the meeting launiched a move to recruit a uniformed
military of 100,000 boys and men.

That’s lived in rugged army camps

They'll soon he drafted—very

It’s a fact some three-A men will
have to go,
By Fall, as now we know.
By that time a hot and heavy
situation,
Will confront our stalwart nation.
Man power will be the burning
question -then,
Or where to get sufficient men?
Men with dependent wives and
hungry little chillun,
Won't be drafted, ‘less they're
willin’,
At least, not now, not soon, not ’till
a later date—
Their rendezvous with fate,
Will be ostponed, put off, delayed,
So none should be dismayed.
Uncle Sam is human, and a thing
he hates to do,
Is to take and ‘break in two,
A family such as you—and yours
that’s now together,
Though of course the question’s
whether,
He needs you—and if he does, how
badly—
If he does of course, it’s gladly,
Though withal a little sadly—that a
man goes off to war,
To give his fbest and more.
Army spokesmen say it’s likely—
his words ring very true—
Eventually they'll draft anew,
Men with wives and children—it
there should rise a need,
That may be soon indeed.

And eventually in righting,
The sorry affairs in which this sorry
world,
Has long been whirled.

For this fervently we pray!
