We note with some surprise that Congressman Engle voted to sustaine the president’s veto of the late tax bill thereby aligning himself with the minority New Dealers in Congress, and against the Republicans and’ Southern Demoqats. He had also a leading part NE in publicizing conditions at Tule lake. We have lately deplored the excessive excoriation: of the Japs, OTT especially those at Tule Lake as ’ tending to make the lot of white persons, military and_ civilian, sill in Jap prison. camps, harder. That the State Department in retnt Months is no longer able to negotiate another, a third, exthange of prisoners with the Japs, ; we believe directly results from . all the agitation regarding the IES .

Part of it springs from the undercurrents of a war -hysteria born of family upheaval, disrputed routine, pressure and worry. From those unhappy adjuncts of war, scarcely an individual is immune.today, and reactions depend on personal temperament and stability. Actually, much of the gayety on the home front is about as carefree underneath the grease paint as the joke on the Jips of a Marine under fire. Regardless of all that, the raucous scene of extravagance and careless conduct cannot be pardoned for its uphappy effect on boys home from the battle lines, nor for its damaging waste to the nation as a whole. its imprint will remain long after the war is finished. That is the historic pattern for wartime. (Many workers in the war centers, spending too much of their new high salaries on 40 dollar hats, watered highballs and race tickets instead of paying their old bills and _ buying war bonds, will fervently wish on the morning peace dawns that they had played a more sensible role in the. sreatdrama.
