THE PLIGHT OF THE
AMERICAN JAPANESE

Imperial Valleys American-born JAP
anese residents Tuesday night voluntari-
ly pledged their answering loyalty to
the United States government in any
crisis that may arise.
Their position is a difficult one. not
so much because Japan is the land of
their forefathers as it is because so many
Anglo-Saxon Americans look with sus-
picion upon all people of another race
when international events make some
members of that race an enemy.
In the last World War, there were
numerous German origin men who
fought side by side with American SOL
diers against the kaisers troops in
France. If there is war with Japan
and God forbid-there will undoubtedly
be many American japanese who will
take up arms in defense of their adopted
country, even though it means partici-
pating against the country of their faith
erS.
Americans should remember this: A
sincere pledge of allegiance to the Unit
ed States from an American Japanese
in the present situation is an act of
patriotism towards which this country
which deserves the highest commenda-
ton.
1t is easy for an American whose fore
fathers settled this country to pledge
allegiance and work actively in support
of the government which has been his
and his familys for generations. But
a pledge of allegiance and active patriot
ism from an American Japanese means
not only that the person participating
is supporting this country, but that he is
renouneing hereditary traditions.
Let us, who should live by the truest
of democratic principles, not be hasty
under these circumstances to mis- Judge
a person of another race. Let us not say,
''He is japanese, therefore he is be-
yond the pale" Let us say, rather. "He
is an American, even though an accident
of birth removed him in racial character
istics from the rest of us
We do not advise that all Japanese be
accepted at face value. We cannot even
accept all descendants of the Mayflower
voyagers on that basis But we do urge
that there should be a general recogn-
ton of the fact that a japanese person
may be as truly an American patriot as
anyone else
Let us have no hystercal witch hunts
which penalize the innocent along with
the guilty.

Axis Invitation Declined s.. No REGRETS

The United States has at last been
offered way out of the interna-
tional dilemma.
About all We have to do is to set
up dictator, kick out the Con-
stltution, reject the fundamental
principles of liberty on which the
nation was founded, set up concen-
tration camps, persecute racial mi
norities and religious sects, swoop
down on our neighbors on both
American continents, scuttle our
pro-British sentiments and agree
that Hitler, Mussolini, and the Japa-
nese are pretty good guys after all.
That's all Then we shall be
eligible to become part of the
bloody axis.
The invitation comes from Mus
solinfs newspaper. Popolo dItalia.
1t is a slightly left-handed invita-
ton. 1t carries with it the threat
that If we are SO silly as to pre-
fer our democratic way of life and
if we insist on shouting loudly across
the Atlantic how much each of us
is enjoying our liberties, then the
Axis-Germany, Italy and Japan
will have to beat a little sense
into our heads.
America must recognize the fact,
the paper says, that there's new
world order. We must concede the
fact that the planet is under new
management, with main offices in
Berlin, Rome, and Tokyo. If we
are willing to agree to this. our cor
Imperial Valley press., 1940-10-17

ner of the world will be set aside
Tor our exclusive use-or at least
for as long as headquarters thinks
we are behaving.
You see, there have been signs
lately that the United States is
becoming a little bit too recalci-
trant. We've been shouting cheer
ing words to the Britons. We've
been using our moral influence to
keep Hitler from quietly sinking
the British Isles. That has been
noticed in totalitarian capitals, and
there has been no end of frowning
and viewing with alarm.
So Italy thought maybe we ought
to be warned
Okay, we've been warned. The
invitation to join the Axis has been
received and placed on file. We're
not quite sure yet whether it's
a compliment to our strength in
the world or an insult to our COL
lective intelligence.
At any rate, there's one thing
Mussolini ought to know Preserved
in Washington, under a glass case,
are two documents. They are yell
low with the years, nearly illegible.
Millions of persons have seen them.
Thousands of school children CAN
reclte parts of them by heart.
They're called the Declaration OF
Independence and the Constitution
of the United States.

he will find it there.

man Altmeyer of the Social Secu-
rity Board would call for amend
ing the social security act so as TO
make army service a covered job
The army then would report to the
board the wages paid to each man
and would deduct the proper tax
from each soldiers pay envelope
One thing Altmeyer likes about
this is that the man who had not
previously been in covered job
could start building up some bene-
fits for himself.
If the act is to be amended,
Congress will have to do some
thing this fall Any change in the
unemployment insurance title would
require action by all the state legis-
latures. They convene in January;
if they are to act Congress must
complete its part of the job ahead

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. IT. - Ed
gar SelWyn would be unique among
Hollywood producers if he didn t
have a stomach ulcer. That afflic-
ton, shared by SO many movie ex-
CcutiVeS that it's q stock joke be-
trays a nervousness which SelWyn
doesn't show. He's quiet and lei
surely in manner. uses no super
latives. and seems to be as amused
as an outsider by the business in
which he has played many import
ant parts during % years.
As a Broadway actor author and
manager, Selwyn tbrother of the
almost equally prominent Arch)
rates a full page in Who's Who
in the Theater, and that doesn't
even mention his picture activities
He had progressed to membership
in the inner council of brass hats
at Metro when he decided it wasn't
much fun. Now he's back in active
production and is preparing three
stories for the screen.
MONEY NO
INCENTIVE
He has been at Metro u years
and never has had a contract Irv-
ing Thalberg begged him to come
here in 1928, fhen every one was
panicky about the new medium
of sound. Money was no incentive
because Selwyn had a cool S3,OO0-
600 in his jeans. And Hollywood
was no great novelty because Sell
wyn himself, in 1917. had bought
the studio now occupied by Metro
GoldWyn Mayer.
But I agreed to come-at no
salary and with no interference,
he recalls. Il said I'd make one
picture and then we'd see. So I
did film called The Girl in the
Show. with Bessie Love. 1t was
terrible and they loved it. I got
big bonus and big salary retroac-
tive to the starting date and then
1 was ashamed to leave"
The Brothers Selwyn did all
right in the New York Theater, and
Edgar doesn't regret that most of
his interests remained there dur
ing the early years of movies. But
he might have had a lot more
than $3OO000O in 1928 if he had
needed the pleadings of a little
ex-furrier named Adolph zukor in
1912
Arch and I had a play broker
age company and we owned or
controlled from $50 to 800 plays"
