If California.. was listening, it
might have heard last week an enlightening summation of how the
the airs, often unintended, that this
state puts on. A Marin County welder, hailing from Tennessee, eptomizes the position of many new citizens
who arrive here delighted at the
glories of sparkling beach and the
mighty mountain — and remain io
discover that the men don’t match
the ‘mountains. 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,

That note, couched in the none too
erudite language ofhis own section
of this broad land, should make
some honest western faces very red.
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

delegation of authority stating that
the director of the WRA “is hereby

S. 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

well. Tulelake in particular has no

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-!

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. ;

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!
