It would seem clear by this time, that the word “survival’’ covers the ground pretty thoroughly. It may be that in order to survive and do so at a minimum cost we must see to it that the British Commonwealth of Nations also ‘survives. This merely amounts to F means to an end. First of all we wish to live in a world, quite qitferent from that designed for us by the Nazis, or the even worse .4@o this we put in with all those who think as we do about it, pool "our resources in men and machines and fight. there are many vexed questions arising among the United States, the Commonwealth of Nations and Russia that require careful consideration and answers satisfactory to all three, it would not be surprising; but it need not dismay ator, ingcom-.

Whatever steps we can now take toward a solution of intricate problems in Southern Italy anid North Africa, must in the nature of things be provisional, dependend for permanent solution upon permanent (more,or less): peace. and do Ives, ,It is unfortunate, of ‘course, that dé Gaulle’s declamations at times jar harshly on allied unity, and -that Russia, bearing the bloody brunt of the war, should seem at times to violate the Atlantic Charter provisions, of which she is a signatory. But we do not: believe that these deviations from _. the straight . line between two. points, that is thé relentless pursuit and defeat of the enemy, are greatly affected by. them. ; t very now and then some comia mentator raises the query, what will the down trodden of subjug-@ted Europe think, for tstance, of our course in Italy, dealing with Badoglio, etc. ‘Will they give up hope of a free government, ete.

April 6.-— One billion surgical dressings, made by American Red Cross volunteers ‘for wounded American servicemen in war theatres over the world were shipped to army medical depots during the past two years, Red Crass (National , Headquarters announced today. : : Volunteers are now producing more than 3,000,000 dressings a day'. as the time for the allied invasion . , of Europe approaches, according to Mrs. Richard Bissell, national director of Red Cross volunteer services. Some’ 3,500,000 women in the Red ‘Cross production corps must supply]. a large proportion of the army’s re-) quirements for. dressings, she said. These dressings, all. -made by hand, . represent’ the time and. careful affort’ of volunteer workers whose production effort . seldom make. the} news. Their work, however, is re-. sponsible for filling the quota of ‘. surgical dressings which cannot be met by industrial facilities in these Virtually all such : deine go overseas to provide stocks wherever United States troops are in action, (Mrs. Bissell reported. In addition to méeting army requirements, the Red Cross volun‘lteers make lesser amounts of dressings for the navy. The Red Cross has shipped 48,000,000 dressings for civilian war relief abroad since 1939. and civilian hospitals in this country have also received volunteer made dressings, humans up the steep slopes of ‘Olympus. As the statement of an ‘ideal, something to be kept in view and to work for for the next thousand years, a stake in the far future which we can try to ‘attain, day by day and by: the’ sweat of our brows, giving.up what we . ! dearly prize that some other human being, some one of alien race make a little progress in his bac to higher standards of life and living, the Atlantic Charter is an admirable document.

Unburdening himself to his newspaper editor. LeRoy Stiles of Sausalito has this to say: “Dear Editor: This is what I think of California and the natives. “As for California it would be like Georgia, only ‘the awamp out here is overhead and in Georgia it’s on the ground. “As for the natives, they ‘think everyone is fools but them. When a out-of-state guy comes to my home town, we don’t treat him like a Jap, even if we don’t like him. “A lot of us fouks left our homes and people to come out here and do our part in the war plants. It’s true we are making more money than we ever made; so are the Californians. We are also paying’ out more money . than we ever did in our lives. “We don’t want people here to, look un to us.

Peculiar as Mr. Stiles’ speech and manners May appear to us he doesn’t talk at all like an Englishman, a ‘Russian, a German, nor a Jap. He talks like an American and . none other. _.

Myer, the national director of that which we have complained cannot be corrected by a paper transfer of the direction of that agency which is another piece. of paper. Unless the national leadership and policy of the WIRA are changed we cannot hope for either a better policy’ or performance and we can look forward to continued trouble in the camps. ‘Myer and his associates have not only lost the confidence of the people on the Pacific Coast but they have lost the confidence and respect of the Japanese in the camps as well. Tulelake in particular has no . WRA. As the name implies—Re-location Authority—the agency was set up to relocate the Japanese who had been moved from the Pacific Coast. The Tulelake camp is.no longer used for relocation purposes. It is.an in-! ;ternment camp in whieh the disloyal Japs have been segregated. It is not the intention of our government to relocate these Japanese at all. They are to be kept in the camp until the termination of .histilities, and thea as many of them as possible will be shipped back to what is left of Japan. ; ‘We: have camps in this country for dangerous aliens run , “ficiently ‘and quietly by the Department of Justice.

FIGHTS By CLEM WHITAKER When the Democratic party was the minority party in California— back in the days before The. Great Campaigner, Franklin D. Roosevelt had made “My Friends’’ the friends of all New Dealers—the Republican party, except for occasional flareups, conducted itself jwith gentlemanly decorum and figuratively looked down its collective nose at the brawling Bourbons. In the " pre-Rooseveltian era, in fact, when the state conventions of the two parties were held in Sacramento, many of the GOP delegates used to sneak away from their easy going conclave—and get gallery seats in the Democratic chamber just to see the fireworks. For the Demmento. they liked it. But how times have changed!
