Nevada City under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. fi SUBSCRIPTION RATES. One year (In Advance) ..-.---One Month 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 . 30 cents. . { . } 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. war techniques as “the pitiful and inexorable race between . alidom ask, is one town’s opinion? In the case of Salinas, we!’ “INDISPENSIBLE BE DEBATED _ By CLEM WHITAKER 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 the nearest approach to perpetual motion, too, but that subject is not To get back to the serious busiconsidered germane to this column. 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. figure-—-and the only American, other than Roosevelt, who might be said to have real world prestige at this ‘}every American MAN” THEORY TO racine a violation of principle in 1940, may be expected to hammer’ even harder on the fourth of issue in ed the third term as 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.” NEVADA CITY CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SOCIETY ANNOUNCES A _ FREE LECTURE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE By CHARLES V. WINN, C. S.
