ONE TOWN’S OPINION 2
There is a mounting furore reverberating from one end
of the country to the other, over the heatedly-debated question
of whether Japanese from the Pacific Coast, now in concentration camps, should be released and pemitted to return to
their normal pursuits in civilian life. . Governors, congressmen, cabinet members. columnists, radio commentators,
labor leaders, business leaders. scores of government officials
and sundry other experts—all have been heard on the subject, but congressional investigating committees still meet and
. the controvedsy still rages.
In one town, however, the question has been resolved.
The people of Salinas took a poll on the subject—and voted
12,688 to . against permitting the Japanese to return to the
Pacific Coast during the war, even if only those who were con:
sidered loyal to the United States were released. And even the
one who dissented from the majority qualified his answer by
insisting that only ‘the loyal, and American born’’ be allowed
to return. :
But of what importance, we can hear Washington offic4 Ne, $3.00 .

believe it is of major importance—and major _ significance.
For no town in California and probably no town in America, .
has suffered as heavy a ratio of dead and wounded in this war
so far as Salinas. The people of Salinas haven't ‘forgotten the
price their own Company C of the 194th Tank Battalion paid,
bitterly seeking to hold back the Jap hordes on Bataan. . To
some, that may be history, but in Salinas fathers and mothers
still long for the boys who won't return to them.
There is added significance in the Salinas poll because .
this proud Monterey County community once had more Japanese residents in proportion to population than any other
city in the United States. The people of Salinas know something about Japs first-hand; they believe some are loyal, but
they apparently don’t believe we have any sure way of separating the sheep from the goats. And one town’s opinion, in
this instance, is also important in that it probably represents
the opinion of all California. If California could vote on the
matter, the Japs wouldn't be permitted to return to this state,
at least during wartime. Of that we are supremely confident.
ae OUR DEFENSE AGAINST FIRE
The possibility of enemy attacks on our cities, and attacks with incendiaries on our forests and grain fields, coupled
with the even greater likelihood that saboteurs may attempt to
‘wage a campaign of arson against us during the dry summer
months, has made the fire peril in California doubly dangerous
this year.
: So serious is the situation, in fact, that California congressmen, joining with representatives from Oregon and
Washington, call at the White House last week to seek the aid
of James F. Byrnes, ‘‘the assistant president,’ in deferring
key men in fire departments from the draft, so that our fire
fighting organizations may be maintained at full strength durnig the critical period.
War Mobolization ‘Chief Byrnes, mindful of the fact that
Japanese planes have made at least two fire forays over Oregon forests, told west coast congressmen that he realized the
danger was great, and that he would immediately corifer with
other government departments on means of maintaining and
‘strengthening our fire fighter protection. But regardless of
emergency measures the government may take to cope with
the situation, the public’s responsibility in preventing. and
checking fires is greater than ever before—and wholehearted
public cooperation is imperative.
Without minimizing the threat of fire attacks from the
skies, or the danger of sabotage, government officials declare
that the ey te danger is still human. carelessness, Military
‘and defense“officials, in collaboration with fire departments
and forestry officials, must shoulder the main responsibility
for guarding against enemy set fires, but the whole citizenry
must share the responsibility for preventing or reducing to an
absolute minimum the fires resulting from our own carelessness. It is our job to be careful with fire—to guard against
‘throwing matches or cigarettes aside when they are still lighted; to put out camp fires and to keep a careful watch on grass
or brush burning operations. Our main defense against fire is
in our own hands.
THE ATTACK WHICH MAY NOT COME
If the records of this war did not show that Germany and
Japan smash covenants, agreements and _ understandings,
‘written and unwritten, with wanton disregard, it would be
difficult to accept the possibility that poison gas . might _ be
‘utilized as the last great ‘surprise weapon” of the Axis.
cme
yo
Considering Amerjcans as trusting fools who stupidly
take men’s word at face value, the Jap more than once has
‘taken advantage of that “‘stupidity.”” His methods:as observed
by our own forces are bestial, and he may be expected not to
hesitate to use gas if it suits his purpose. Hitler's hordes on the
Moscow front are reported to be equipped with the inhuman
weapon as well, though a tacit worldwide agreement long has
existed on the unacceptability of gas warfare.
Pleading for “‘all peoples without distinction,” Pope Pius
XII early this month warned against the growing violence of
the act and reprisals, not only to the detriment of a particular
people involved, but also to the detriment of the community
of nations.’’ Those words are bitterly true, but they will not
stop Hitler nor Tojo, for neither is listening.
In all Christendom their one deterrent is that. which already is being tried—the world-shaking threat of retaliation
in kind. While human life is cheap to Jap war lords and German militarists—and that of their own people as cheap as any
~——neither can go too far with such a sacrifice lest they lose
their support and their power entirely. Unless Hitler and Tojo
can strike first with absolutely annihilative blows, neither is
likely to head deliberately into a trap of their own making.
But if convinced the allies are capable of parrying and returning their gas attack, it may never come.

Like perpetual motion, ‘“‘the indispensable man’”’ has yet to be discovered, but America may discover
him next year—in the -person of
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Some wag has suggested that Eleanor Roosevelt probably personifies

motion, too, but that subject is not

ness at hand, the boys who beat the
New Deal’s tom-toms during campaign season have been casting about
feverishly for some magic strategem
to spike the fourth term issue which
they know will be reased against
President Roosevelt, if he runs again.
After much -cogitation, according
to reports emanating from the national capital, they believe they have
found it. The public relations brain
trust has decided that the best answer is a mighty propaganda build-up
to the effect that only Roosevelt has
the wisdom, the experience and the
world prestige to command the respect this country must have at
world conference tables during the
final years of the war and in the
critical rehablitation years which
must follow the war. ;
In short, Roosevelt will be portrayed, not just as the man of the
hour, nor as the man of destiny, for
those slogans have become a bit shop
worn, but as ‘‘the indispensable
man’’—the man without whom the
nation will falter and freedom will
perish! i
The reason for the all out indispensable man campaign, starting
early and scheduled to reach a
crashing crescendo just before the
’44 elections, wll become clearly apparent shortly when the _ debate
opens in congress on the Bailey resolution, designed to limit presidents
hereafter to two terms. While the
wording of the resolution excludes
Roosevelt from its provisions, the debate will turn the full glare of the
national spotlight on the fourth-term
issue—and the dangers to democratic government of a self perpetuating hierarchy will doubtless be discussed, not only on the senate floor,
but at breakfast tables and dinner
tables throughout Amerca. To cope
with that offensive by Republicans
and antixNew Deal Democrats, the
Roosevelt followers must have a
powerful defense—and they believe
the president’s admitted stature as
a world figure is the only acceptable
answer.
The development of this strateby,
incidentally, is fraught with. peril
for the New Dealers, too, for Wendell Willkie, the man they fear the
most, is also something of a world.

EQUALIZATION
BOARD MEMBER
HITS AT ZOOTERS
By CLEM WHITAKER
Zoot suit hoodlims whom the
Army and Navy won’t accept because
of criminal records or. tendencies,
but who have attained military age,
should be taken out of the bars and
off the streets and placed in labor
battalions—under the command of;
hard-boiled top-sergeants who will
teach them the respect for law and
order which their parents failed to
instill in them! :
That demand for a realistic, work
or fight approach to the zoot suit
phase of California’s juvenile (and
adult) delinquency problem comes
from George R. Reilly, San Francisco member of the State Board of
Equalization, whose board administers liquor law enforcement. ‘
“When we are sending our finest
boys into the armed forces to fight
and possibly die for their country,”
said Reilly, ‘‘it is unthinkable that
we should permit young hoodlums,
who are unfit for military service oecause of criminal records or tendencies, to prowl the streets, molesting soldiers and sailors on leave and
the civlian population.
“The recent riots in Los Angeles,
where Army and Navy men retaliated against zootsuiters who had
been guilty of attacks on the wives
of service men, have served to turn
the spotlight on a problem that demands action by either the state or
federal government. If these zoot
suit gangsters are unft for military
service and the Army and Navy
won’t have them, they should nonethe less be compelled to contribute
‘to the war effort, and I believe action should be taken to place them
in labor battalions at Army pay and
under Army discipline.
“Certainly they should be taken
out of the bars and off the streets
where they are a menace to the community and a burden on our already
over burdened police and law enforcement agencies.”’
Reilly, who inagurated the movement for a 12 o’clock curfew in bars
and other, drinking establishments
during the war period, which has
now been generally adopted will suggest to his fellow members at their
next meeting that the board recommend action by the federal government looking to the establishment
of labor camps for zootsuiters who
have been refused for military service. Z
“L. recognize, of course, that all
the kids who like a bright stripe and
a glad plaid aren’t necessarily criminals,’’ said Reilly, ‘but the hoodlums who have adopted baggy pants
as a badge of defiance of law and
order need to be put in overalls, if
time. And Mr. Willkie, who denouncthey are unfit to wear a uniform.”
