The daily monitor. (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1940-1942, 1941-07-28

The President is corYins stogser-
ina burden Of responsibility these doys.
He is foced with the overwhelming
problem of how to see thot the Nozis
don't win the war, without oetuolly
GETTING into it on shooting bosis our
selves. Trying to find the onswer to
thot one is q crushing responsibility
especially because there may be no an
swer.
To impose any problems but the
arovest on the man responsible more
than any other for such decisions is un-
wise and might even be fotol. To ex-
pect him to decide personally whether
q certain second bosemon for pro-
fessionol baseball team is eligible for
the droft is sheer nonsense.
Second bosemon, former, stock ex-
change president, movie actor, mill
hand, and ,milionoire-theyre all
supposed to be the some in this thing,
ond to impose on the President the per-
sonoI problems Of individuals in the
quintessence of folly.

TINE AND THE ALIEN

A few writer's have managed to whip
themselves into q Iother about the
alien problem, and especially about
refugees and their activities.
Yet we have smaller percentage Of
non-ctzens in the country than ever
before There ore approximately four
and three-quorters millions Of them.
about 3h per cent Of the population.
Their overooe ooe is 48 as compared
with an overooe Of 70 in the whole
population. And about two out Of five
who have lived here long enough ore
oIreody in process Of becoming citi-
zens.
Certainly there is problem here.
As long as any aliens of long and semi
permanent residence remain without
becoming citizens, there is prob
lem. But anyone who thinks this
dwindIno 8 per cent Of the population
is exertino ony greet influence in the
running Of the country hos little faith
in the remaining us, 900, 900 Ameri-
cons.
