Thinking
Out Loud
By LEONE BAXTER
The man or woman who has
figured out the solution to the
race rioting in Detroit, Chicago ,
Los Angeles and other cities, holds
the answer as well to a puzzle the
entire civilized world is struggling to solve—the War Puzzle.
For the vicious seed that sprouts
a race riot on Hastings street in
the colored section is the same
seed ‘that sends its malignant,
strangling roots around the world,
to blossom noxiously in international wars that make the seas
run red.
It is a common seed, for all its
deadliness. It is the seed of -selfishness, intolerance and misunderstanding.
There is no sense in trying to
complicate it further, but somehow it has come to be considered
a problem of greatest complexity,
each man bracketing it in economic, polltical, 1eligious, social
or financial pigeon holes accordporaneous forum handled by Art
Linkletter recently on the subject
of ‘‘war causes’ amazed that
maestro as thoroughly no’ doubt,
as it did the air audience, with
some bewildering solutions. They
included ‘birth control in enemy
nations, ‘readjustment of our
medium of exchange, and ‘‘wage
increases for labor to a _ point
where labor can buy all the sutPluses it produces, so wars won't
have to be declared by employ.
ers, as this one was, simply to dispose of those surpluses.”
One of two. general solutions
commonly considered sound as
war deterrents (though not by the
same groups) is a system. of international cooperation arrived at
over the conference tables——certain essentials of which would be
militarily enforced if necessary.
The other, the only real and
honest solution, is the application
of the Golden Rule. Besieged by
practicalities in a practical world
and beset by human frailties, it
will not come soon.
Not until most of the world at
least has learned ‘that selfishness
at home means wars of aggression .
abroad, that total intolerance on
Hastings street means minoritybaiting by the world’s ‘supermen”, that inability or disinclination ‘to understand a neighbor’s
problems means) misunderstandings and duplicity+in diplomatic
affairs. And that all ‘three—selffishness, intolerance and misunderstanding—lead to war.

the
anniversary of the celebration of the
first mass by the new arrivals on
June 29, 1776. Others consider September 17 the proper date, as the

the city’s birth from the dedication
of Mission Dolores on October 9

Whatever the true date, we can
congratulate the big bay city, Queen

JAMES TYRRELL
TELLS OF DRAFT
BOARD'S WORK
James C. Tyrrell, chairman of the
Nevada County Selective Service
Board ‘No. 22, in an address before
the Grass Valley Rotary Club of
which he is president, gave some interesting figures on Nevada County’s
contribution to the armed forces.
“There are now more than 1,200
men from this county in the nation’s
armed forces,’ said Tyrrell. “The
number of men in all age groups who
have registered in the county is 6,18 and 45 number 4,500. Of the 1.,200 in the services, only 100, approximately, are between the ages of .
and 45, and of the 1,200, 780}
;tarily enlisted.’
“Since boys of 18 ‘have been re‘quired to register, it is surprising
how many have engaged in farm
work, who had never worked on a
ifarm before. In this work they are
immune from the draft and_ this
knowledge has gained general circulation.”
RED CROSS IN
APPEAL FOR
MORE WORKERS
‘Nevada City women are asked to
. volunteer their services to assist
with “one of the most important
functions’’ of the Red Cross, that of
jmaking surgical dressings for the
‘armed forces. $
The surgical dressing unit in the
City Hall turns out three types of
dressings. During the month of June
19,740 dressings were completed.
Those who gave their services during the month worked hard to complete this number of dressings, but
it still leaves the chapter back in
production as far as the quota which
was contracted for from the Pacific
area, American Red Cross is concerned.
The surgical dressing unit is in
operation from 10 a. m. until 3 p.
m. daily, Monday through Friday
and on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evening from 7:30 until 9:30
p. m.
Volunteers are requested to wear
a clean wash dress and a cover for
their hair. Material for the caps can
‘be purchased at the room.

"MILITARY HONORS ‘CALIFORNIA TO

By CLEM WHITAKER
Governor Barl Warren’s ennouncement during the annual governor’s
conference at Columbus, ‘Ohio, that
he will not seek the GOP nomination
for president or vice president—and
is not entertaining the hope that he
will be “drafted’’ for either office
by the Republican National Conven;tion—has gone a long way toward

NATIVE SONS
SEEKS TO AMEND
CONSTITUTION
To prevent for all time “‘neaceful invasion of the United States
through process of infiltration of undesirables’’ the Board of Grand Officers-of the Native Sons of the Golden West, at its first quarterly session for the year 1943-44, has formally called for national support of a
proposed Amendment to the Constitution of the United States to the
end that Article XIV, Section 1, be
amended to insert two words: “of
citizens.”’
“By the insertion of these two
‘words, the Board of Grand Officers
of the Native Sons of the Golden
West proposes to accomplish in simple and direct fashion, all that has
been attempted in that direction by
many. west coast organizations,’ declared Grand President Wayne R.
Millington, who made the announcement. ‘‘Adoption of ‘this simple
phrase will solve all the many and
complex problems involving American citizenship,” Millington said .
“As it presently reads, Article
XIV( Section 1, ‘Citizenship,’ reads:
“All persons born or naturalized
in the United,States and subject to
the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens
of the United States and of the state
wherein they reside.’’ The amending
phrase calls for the insertion, after
the opening phrase “All persons
born,’’ of the words “of citizens’’,
so that the section would read: “All
persons born of citizens or naturalized in the United States, etc.”
No alien, Millington explained,
could become a citizen of the United
States through birth ‘but might acquire citizenship only through process of naturalization. Citizenship is
revocable if naturalization is. obtained by fraud. Obviously, Millington
said, the proposed amendment would
in no way effect any Japanese Americans already so privileged, nor
their children,”’ but it would forever,
render it impossible for whole
groups of foreigners, seeking the destruction of the American form of
government, to carry on ‘their nefarious work.”

» When the fray warms up, it is,
quite probable that some of Governor Warren’s friends may ceek to
