Protecting Civil Liberties In an address before the National Conference of Civil Liberties. in New York, Attorney General Frank Murphy recited some of the instances of injustice due to war hysteria that were committed in this country during the World War and promised that as far as the Department of Justice was able there would be no repetition of it in the excitements due to the present European war. The first duty of the United States the attorney general said was to remain at peace by protecting ourselves from both outside and internal aggression, but in protecting ourselves from the latter “‘we must be on guard that we ourselves are not guiltv of avgression against the civil liberties of our own citizens. We must not fall victim to the infection of despotism that in recent years has been sweeping the world. For if we suppress civil liberty we suppress democracy itself.” Referring to the wrongs committed against civil liberty at the period of the World War, Mr. Murphy said: “We should remember that in the feverish, war-like atmosphere—an atmosphere which inevitably is dangerous to. . liberty—average citizens—normally calm and reasonable— become so imbued with the rightness of their cause that opposition or criticism was intolerable to them. Not only could they brook no open disagreement with national policy. but th« failure of others to share their own attitude became in their eyes evidence of lack of patriotism. “From suspicion and distrust, it was for some people ar easy step to violence and vigilante activities. In some communities, irresponsible. extra-legal organizations assumed functions that belonged properly to the civil authorities. And in some cases the civil authorities themselves were carried away by a hysteria of fear. Defenseless mer and women werc mistreated by such groups on mere suspicion. On many occastions, the constitutional right of peaceful assembly was violated, and*homes were invaded and searched in the dark of night for evidence of disaffection and disloyalty.”’ Against this picture Attorney General Murphy proposed: 4 “We need and we earnestly ask from every citizen and from every government an unswerving resolve that for as long as this crisis endures, we will keep our heads—that we will not abandon our Bill of Rights—that whatever measures we may adopt for our defense against subversive activities, we will use them just as calmly and judiciously as we do firmly and resolutely.” It was necessary to remember, Mr. Murphy said that en ‘emergency does not abrogate the Constitution nor dissolve the Bill of Rights and he continued: : Seventy-thrée years ago, one year after the Civil War. the Supreme Court declared in the famous Milligan case that the ‘Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and people, equally in war and in peace, and covers with the shield of igs protection all classes of men, at all times, and under all ‘circumstances.’ : “To the many friends of: civil liberty gathered at this erence, . want to give the emphatic assurance that in this emergency, as well as in time of peace, the Department of Justice embraces that policy without reservation.

JAPAN UNLIKELY TO REAP BENEFIT OF EUROPE’S WAR Japan’s preoccupation with a war of her own in China is likely to prevent her from reaping any great trade gains from the present conflict in Europe, comparable to those of 1914-1918, according to Miriam S. Farley, research associate of the American Council, Institute of Paeific Relations. “The prolonged Chinese conflict,” asserts Miss Farley in the Far Eastern Survey, has removed the possibility of Japan’s figuring as an exporter of war materials and has led to price inflation and disorganization in her peace time industries. On the economic front, statements by responsible Japanese ‘ministers indicate that she herself views the new developments in Europe as likely to aggravate rather than lighten her economic difficulties. “Japan’s announced policy of neutrality is obviously to her own advantage, for in the present confused Situation at least, her interest clearly lies in keeping aloof from foreign entanglements, steadily pursuing her aims in China, playing one power or coalition against another, and using the freedom of manéuver cenferred by an independent policy to reap whatever gains she can in either the political or the economic field. “Japan today, after two years of war, is still strong. and capable undoubtedly of considerable further effort; but her economy has been so severely strained as to suggest the prudence, if not the necessity, of winding up the China affair within a comparatively short time. “When European war broke out Japan found that she had not achieved the quick victory for which she hoped. She had expended in China a large portion of her none too abundant war-making resources. Her economy had been subjected to a severe strain, the intensity of which had shown no sign of diminishing. The economic gains of the operation had fallen far short of balancing the costs. “Japanese trade with Germany, of course, has already been largely cut off. Exports to Germany werg relatively unimportant but on the import side Germany has been a fairly important supplier of Japan, furnishing 5-6% of her total imports in recent months. While the French Empire normally takes only 2 per cent of Japan's exports, the (British Empire accounts for about 18 per cent. Japan is also dependent on the British Empire for 20.1 per cent of the total imports. In the event of major ‘hostilities the Allies will of course have first claim on the Empire's resources. For example, Great Britain has already declared her intention of preempting the Australian surplus of zinc, copper, lead, wool and certain foodstuffs. “More serious for Japan than any actual deprivation of supplies is genuine war boom eventually develops, general shortages of war materials will occur, with consequent advances in price which will increase Japan’s foreign exchange difficulties. . “But if Japan’s export trade with tries should shoot forward as it did in the World War, this would more or less offset the difficulties of obtaining imports and might indeed on balance relieve the strain from which she is now suffering. Unfortunately the prospects in this direction are not so encouraging as they were in 1914. Exchange controls, tariff and quota barriers, the greater self-sufficiency of both the Allies and neutral countries must tend to limit the opportunities for wartime expansion of Japanese exports.”’ Mr. and Mrs. George Keller and Glen Cleland motored to Redding Saturday evening and enjoyed a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Jess Moomey.
