good Of the people as whole.

We dolike to complain. And our
freedom to do so is the unwritten codicil
of the Bill of Rights. But we must take
care not to let natural grousing turn into
self-pity This is the stuff upon which
the dictators feed-a fungus growth that
can choke healthy nation, sapping the
unity Of purpose that is the cornerstone
of our democratic way Of life.

tension bill, including the clause
taking off all limitations on the
number of men that may be train
ed, undoubtedly means that the
United States will soon have
huge standing army. 1t also un-
questionably means that the Ad-
ministration has turned its back
upon the plan it originally spon-
sored, when the Selective Service
Act was first passed, to create
reserve force of soldiers having
one years military training, while
other groups of selectees were be
ing called in for training. Observ-
ers here believe that the Army Of
the United States will soon con-
sist of three Or four million men,
but without a trained reserve
force to back it up. Under the or
iginal plan, as advanced when the
Selective Service Act was passed
in 1910, the United States would
have had an army of approx
mately two million men in serv-
ice, with reserve force Of nine
hundred thousand men at the end
of the first years training period
to which reserve an additional
nine hundred thousand trained
men would be added each year.

Winning the legislative battle
on the service extension bill by
only one vote certainly does not
constitute great victory for the
Administration; even tho there
was more Administration pres
sure exerted to gain votes on
this bill than on any other legis-
lative measure in the history Of
the New Deal. The victory is in
deed shallow one--for with only
one a one vote margin the Adj
ministration does not dare at
tempt at this time to force
through additional legislation, as
originally planned, to permit the
use of all and any American
troops outside Of the Western
Hemisphere and anywhere in the
world, as expeditionary forces, or
otherwise.

Late last week the House ac-
cepted the amendment the SEN
ate had written into a pending
agricultural bill to permit the far
mers Of the United States hav-
ing surplus wheat to feed such
surplus, of the 1941 crop only
to livestock on their own farms,
without the payment of forty
nine cent per bushel penalty.
Such permission, it was pointed
out, will help many farmers short
Of feed, reduce the amount Of
surplus wheat on hand in the
country, and will in no way in
Jure those farmers who did not
produce surplus amount Of
wheat.

The House was in rebellious
and fighting mood most Of last
week. Martin Dies, chairman of
the famous Dies Committee, in d
fiery speech named numerous
Communists who occupy high po~
sitlons in the government, and
called upon the President to
clean house" that America might
pc strong within it's government,
as well as without. In another in
stance one Of the Democratic
leaders accused New Deal col
league Of working and being III
sympathy with the Communist
party. One OF the most prominent
Of the New Dealers in the House
80 lost control Of himself III to
publicly call the farmers of Amer
1ca "scabs and chislers.o So per
haps it Is we'll that the Congress
agreed last weekend to 60 into

Importance of a spirit of toler-
ance for Seattle's japanese. We
must remember that nearly all of
them are American born citizens.
A great many are enlisted in the
civilian defense corps and more
hold commissions in the reserve
besides those actually engaged in
military service.
There should be no attitude of
reprisal toward them," the mayor
has stated.
This newspaper, on behalf of
the Japanese community here, ap-
preciates and gratefully thanks
his honor for the statement.
Those first generation and their
children who preferred returning
to Japan rather than remain here
have already done so. 1t follows
then, that those left feel their
destiny lies here in the United

Great Northern Daily news
Dec. IL, A Japanese Newspaper
The unexpected, or more accur-
ately, the unexpected inevitable
has happened. To most of us, news
of the treacherous Japanese at
tack came as an unbelievable
shock.
Let's face the issue squarely.
We nisei are Americans by con-
stitutional statute. But we're
Americans with Oriental masks.
AS such, we're just Japanese to
the average white American. We
cannot expect them to distinguish
between our status and that our
parents.
Our parents . what's to hap
pen to them? 1t is as yet too
early to predict anything not based
on conjecture. But expect the
worst. Expect them to be con-
fined or segregated from us. That's
war.

Lord give hearts their youth at Christmas tide;
Let us believe did the three who went
To lay their gifts, their honor, and their pride
Before Child. We who have richly spent
The coin of years need now repenshed store
Of simple faith and hearts that seek the light.
We, too would stand beside open door,
To the glow that crcled earth's deep night.
Lord help us find again the Iong-ost way
That led to wonders in the welcome glow
From friendly windows, something of the gay
Comradely spirit that used to know
The Star shines on for those with eyes to see:
finite CLEAN toward all infinty.

CALLING ALL ELKS, Portland,
Tacoma, Yakima and Spokane:
The Medicine Man says the moon

Years Eve. Neither will the Elks
go home till morning, said Mr..
AL Purnell, the man who records
history for the antlered herd.
Chairman Higgins, head of the
Entertainment committee, featur-
ing the big New Years Till We
Meet Again party at Finnish Hall

idea is music and plenty of music;
music that won't behave, music
that's restless all night long. This
New Years party is epidemic;
everybody is talking about it; and
what's more everybody is going
to be there. Evergreen Temple is
coming like nobody's business and
Evergreen Temple is hostess for
the party. Everybody knows when
Evergreen Temple is hostess, said
Chairman Higgins, there will be a
party.
Make it a date with Puget Sound

cebmer 81. The admission is $1.00

There Is Peace
Judy Van der Veer

On Christmas day who dares to
think
OF those who go to fight an die,
OF terror underneath a star
That rises in the Eastern sky?
Today I said I'd think of hills
That know the goodness of the
rain,
That I would think of how the
earth
Gives living to a field of grain.
Consider how the quiet way
The cattle rest and move about,
AS if there's something in their
hearts
That speaks of peace, within, with
out.

The Flight

The Wise Men came and went

No Star blazed where the young
Child lay.
A selfish monarch darkly sdnemed.
Lone Mary pondered; Jose p h

A gripping fear, a darkening
night
A hasty bundle, packed for flight.
Sweeter than notes of heavenly
tone
A donkey's hoof-beats on the
stone:
Such hope, such aid four feet af-
ford,
Bearing the Babe from Herod's
sword!
In Ramah, Rachel said walls.

tales.)

FIRST-HA\D REPORT
GIVEN BY MASHALL

White House Secretary stephen
T. Early said that Wadsworth was
invited because ne is recognized
as one Of the best informed legis-
lative officials on military affairs" "
Wadsworth was a member of the
senate military affairs committee
during the World war and chair
man of that committee during the
Harding administration.
Marshall apparently was sum-
moned to participate in the confer
ence to give the legislators a first
hand report on the background Of
his recommendations that congress
authorize Mr.. Roosevelt TO hold
selectees. national guardsmen and
reserve officers in active service
beyond their first year Of training
and to abolish the prohibition
against their use outside the west
ern hemisphere.
Legislative leaders believed the
compromise that might be worked
out would permit selectees to COM
plete their service in one year. ac-
cording TO schedule, but under cir
cumstances that would make their
reinlstment for the duration ex-
tremely attractive.

Portland Ave. 10
Get New ST. Lights

A roomful Of Portland ave. resi-
dents who appeared to protest
assessments for ornamental street
lighting in their district had a
change Of heart after getting into
the city council chamber Monday
and approved as the city fathers
voted to 60 ahead with the in
stallation.
The protest, it was explained by
Ed Micklich, one of the property
owners. was mainly against the
amount of the assessment, which
exceeded original estimates. Nick
Itch said there was no doubt the
lights were wanted and suggested
a community party would be held
to raise extra funds to pay for
them. If that proved necessary.
A lengthy individual protest was
submitted by Arthur tPaD Wright
but he withdrew his letter before
the council voted.
The new lights will be on Bay
st, from Puyallup ave. to Port
land ave. and then on that thor
oughfare from Bay st. to Fair
banks.
