Listening to the American Forum of the Air yesterday, which, by the way was broadcast fom Santa Barbara, served to confirm many our own conclusions on the expulsion of the Japanese from the Pacific Coast states. Congressman Costello, chairman of the subcommittee of the Dies Committee assigned to make a study of the War Relocation Authority, which took over Japanese relocation ‘centers after the War Department had removed them ito interior points, led the affirmative, while (Cary MeWilliams was leader of the negative group which included Professor, Radin of the ss iicheiieiedd of California faculty. Costello, who hails from Holly‘wood, briefly recited the fact that the Japanese were removed as a matter of military necessity. They had to be removed as a measure of safety to themselves, and to. the 10 or 12 million people who reside on the Pacific Coast. He objected to their release from internment unless it were conclusivelyproved that they were loyal to the United States. At present, the names of those who are released are sent to the PBI for a check. If their names do not appear in their files or if there is no s6uspicion attaching to them, the Japs are then released to work in the general vicinity of camps. McWilliams stated that there was. a strong suspicion that the entire question was colored by race prejudice. He said there was, in fact, a well defined movement, only not to return the Japs to the (Pacific Coast, but to secure their deportation at war’s ‘end to Japan, citizens: and aliens alike. He pointed’ out that such a procedure would imperil the very foundation of our democracy, since once race prejudice gained power, it could be exercised against other racial groups. He acknowledged that military néeds were the first consideration, and that as a military measure it was justified, but pointed out that neither before nor after Pearl Harbor have there been any reports-of Japanese sabotage in the Hawaiian Islands. not Costello countered with the statement that there had been no attempted invasion of Hawai,, that the Japs had made an aerial raid, no land and water attempt to land there. It might have been very different story had such an attack been made, he said. In fact it was a different story in Burma, Malaya, Indo China and in other Pacific countries which harbored large populations of Japanese. There the Jap fifth column did yeoman service. Of the 126,000 Japanese remov.ed, it was stated by one of the dewaters, 70,000 maintained a dual ,citizenship. McWilliams brushed ‘this off lightly. He said that millions of citizens, including French ‘Americans, maintain a dual citigenshiu. What he feared he said, was the effect this detention of Japanese would have on the third generation of Japanese, the ohildren of American born Japs. They were being made too conscious of their Japanese faces. All speakers agreed that the Japanese in beng forced to liquidate their property, land and personal effects, had suffered economically, but Costello insisted that those who were really loyal could bear it as one of war’s inevitable penalties. He made one statement, however, which we think all patriotic Americans can approve. In visiting the detention camps his committee found invarjably that the disloyal, the older, lien Japanese as_a rule, dominated tthe entire camp. They were strongly influencing the conduct of the American born. He declar-ed-that there should be segregation immediately, with camps established for the subversive group. And with that conclusion of the congressman we heartily concur. Some of the speakers feared that the controversy now raging. re_The County Seat Paper Gold More In Demand Today Than In Past, Says Maltman David Maltman, former stock broker, now in the mining business, in an address before the Post War Study Forum in Grass Valley, on the topic: and Gold Mining,” declared in world exchange. “If anyone had told us a few years ago that the government would declare gold a nonessential and that the gold mines of this eountry ‘would be forced to close down by order.of a government agency, we would have thought them crazy. In this changing world we are betoming accustomed to many unheard of orders, but, since we are in an ALL OUT WAR, we can take it. “The demand for gold throughout the world is just as keen today as it ever was with prices ranging from '$40 to more than $70 an _ ounce against our fixed price of $35 an ounce. The United States has lost over $1,155,000,000 of their gold, the greater portion of which oceurred this year. The price of gold and silver -have both declined in Bombay recently, no doubt due to Great Britian’s efforts to halt inflation.

Maltman said in part: referred to a recent. trip through part of the Mother Lode district and he read an extract from Chilean dis. patch appearing in. the New York Herald Tribune, as follows: ‘As a concession toward achieving this objective the Metals Reserve Company has agreed to continue purchasing for another year, at least, reasonable quantities of gold, and manganese which the Unied States does not need. Representatives of the Board of Economic Welfare and the Metals Reserve Company explained to the (Chilean government that no gold is being mined in the United States, but that as a good neighbor gesture, Washington is willing to continue buying gold from Chilean mines to prevent the serious social and economic problems. that the closing of those mines, especial-j ly in the northern province of Co-j quimbo and, Atacama.’ “The gold mining camps of the United States have suffered severely . down of gold would follow . ieee Good F; len Van But Poor Business Man Jerrold Blackburn of Sacramento caught too many fish in Fall Creek above Fuller Lake yesterday. He was jarrested last evening by Game Warden Earl Hiscox and brought before Justice of the Peace George Gildersleeve and fined $46 or one dollar a fish. This is the third Sacramentan arrested recently.by Hiscox trout. “If you ask me,’’ said Hiscox, ‘those Sacramento fellows are good fishermen but poor business men.’’ George W. Jones Called By Death George W. Jones, 48, born in Nevada City, passed away this morn-! ing after several years of invalidism. He was the son of Mrs. Rose Jones and lived with her at 111 Mill Lewis, Washington, and Don Jones, army cook in Belmont, San Mateo County. Funeral arrangements are in charge of Holmes Funeral Home.

For instance, whose resources have been drained by the Axis would have to be re-established on a firm footing to enable them to participate in world trade. This could be accomplished by the United Nations loaning them sufficient\gold for deposit with the international bank. thus enabling them to issue currency backed by gold and which would have actual value behind it. Such a move would doubtless carry the price of gold to $140 an ounce, at least. : “Should this poli¢y be followed in working out the post war monetary setup, gold producers would probably be limited as to the price they would receive for their gold, the balance of the increase to accrue to the government. An equitable basis could be worked out, in fact would have to be worked out since the present wage scale of wartime workers is so out of line with the mining scale, prices of materials, supplies, and labor, would have to come down or earnings permitted to increase to strike a, balance. “In a recent presentation of the gold. mining problem ‘by Representative Tom Rolph before congress, he garding whether or no, the loyal Japanese should be returned now to their homes in California, Ore-* gon, and Washington, had been started by Axis agenits in the hopeof causing disunity in the United States. This seems a bit far fetched. Among 136 million people, (that’s the latest population figure) living together under one flag there are bound to be vast differences of opinion. Frequently these differences boil up into domestic storms, with history revealing no alien provocateur behind the scene. The Japanese have always been a cause if intense irritation in California. We daresay they will.be for sometime to come.” Time only can bring healing to thisdissention which began long: before the war. iloss of payrolls To furnish} ;sufficient gold for such an opera-. sold, there is certain ‘to be a gold j tion, it would be necessary to ad-jrush by prospectors and . vance the price of gold to a point home after the been mines, offset from much of this loss has their families from Camp Beale, who have come Sa to live. eee that gold will — still! ture after the war, there is much reason for optimism in the outlook ithe nations will be invited’ to parti-' for mining activties in Neyada County.

Some. of the mines have been producing continously for more than ninety years, and from available reports, at the time of shutting down mining operations these mines. had new ore bodies richer and bigger than at any time in the past. An example of the productivity of such mines is. the record of Idaho Maryland, which has produced over thirty million dollars of gold since it was reopened in 1925. According to reports, this production could. be doubled from all indications of new ore bodies. Returning to the thought of post war planning, we must not _ lose sight of the fact that Russia is destined to come out of ‘this great world struggle as one of the leading industrial countries prepared to establish its place in international trade and as a leading producer of gold.
