|Gen. Emmons Lauds
Morale in Hawaii;
Warns Of Rumors
Urges Cooperation
And Stresses Need
For Censorship
Nv the ASsociated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HONOLULU, Dec. 22.-Lt. Gen.
Delos C. Emmons, in his first broad
cast as commander Of the Hawaiian
Department today praised Hawaii's
morale, stressed the necessity Of
censorship because Of the potential
threat OF enemy raiders and urged
everybody to work together.
He disclosed that the distribu-
tion Of foods, drugs, gasoline and
other essentials had been placed
under single Jurisdiction. Pointing
out that some confusion was un-
avoidable, he said this would be
remedied as soon as additional sup
plies were received from the main
land.
These precautions are being
taken for your Hawaii's) protec-
tion," he said.
AS an example he cited the neces-
sity of control over distribution Of
buckets, water, sand and other
equipment necessary for fighting in
cendiary bombs.
1.-The Army and Navy are op-
Grating as one and you can be con-
fident that they will be employed
effectively, and with your help, sue
cessfully," Gen. Emmons said.
If the courage Of the people in
the islands Is to be maintained
and the morale sustained we cannot
afford unnecessarily and indiscrim-
inately to keep any number Of loyal
workers from useful employment"
Gen. Emmons suggested that if
any employer doubted the loyalty of
any employe he should check i'm
mediately with constituted authori-
ties before taking any action.
There have been very few cases
of actual sabotage" the general said
This does not mean that you can
relax. Both the constituted au-
thorities and the public generally
must continue to be alert against
possible Saboteurs."
Pointing out that friends and relA-
tives need not fear that arrested
persons will be mistreated, he said j:
These people are not prisoners OF
war and will not be treated as such
I intend very shortly to permit the
inspection or detained aliens by rep
resentative citizens and aliens in
order that the public may be reas-
sured as to the treatment they are
receiving"
Gen. Emmons cautioned against
believing and repeating rumors. BY
so doing you are playing into the
enemy's hands 1t is a time e-worn
trick of dictators, aggressors and
saboteurs to undermine the conf
dence of civilians.
Adding that the Army will keep the
public informed of the facts, he said {:
Let me reiterate the necessity for
pulling together. -" We must re-
member that this is America and We
must do things the American way.
We must distinguish between loyalty
and disloyalty among our people
sometimes this is difficult. especially
under the stress of war However. we
must not knowingly and deliberately
deny any loyal citizen the oppor-
tunity of exercising or demonstrate
ing his loyalty in a concrete way"

In Dealing With Aliens

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Mayor
LaGuardia advised citizens yester-
day to leave "the task of apprehend-
ing enemy aliens entirely in the
hands Of the Department of Justice"
to avoid unjust discrimination.
Government officials, he said in
a radio talk, will brook not the
slightest act Of disloyalty and will
not countenance for a single second
any abuse of hospitality or of our
generosity"
There will be no border-line case
aliens will be divided only in two
classes, good aliens and bad aliens" j."
said the mayor, who spoke in his
capacity as president of the United
States Conference OF Mayors.
THE good ones will be protected
and free-the bad ones will be prose-
cuted and confined. Above all, the
American people can be certain that
the Attorney General will cause no
injustice and inflict no penalty for
the sake Of a headline"
