PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
THE AMERICANIZED
JAPANESE

Editor The Times: United
States Attorney General Biddle,
in a recent impressive radio ad-
dress, graphically pictured what
he deems to be the proper atti-
tude for A merica citizens
toward those Japanese who by
reason of birth or adoption are
among US and with US.
The attorney generals radio
speech was precisely in accord
with what we had previously
presented in the columns of the
press as the proper attitude for
US toward those of Japanese
birth or adoption now here.
Critics Of this attitude. as rec
commended, overlooked quite en-
tirely the basic or fundamental
factors involved.
That the Japanese, as every
body knows, have a few small
schools here and there Of their
own and that definite groups or
communities Of few hundreds
or thousands of Japanese exist
among us is of relatively small
consequence and is unimportant.
Americans living in a foreign
land would do exactly the same
thing, for a time anyway, with
out necessarily feeling or doing
anything antagonistic to the
government OF the country in
which they found themselves.
The racial antagonism which
regards these things with def
mite suspicion and i'll will is q
hateful. un-Christian, undemo-
cratic poison. 81 don't hate the
Japanese, says the average dis
senter from fairness and toler-
ance. oh, no. of course not. Far
be II from such. But they fan

Although the danger that
vichy and Madrid may cast
their lot with the axis powers
has not vanished entirely. Secre-
tary Hull believes the chance Of
such a tie-up has become more
remote than il was a few months
ago. Both Petain and Franco
are inclined to await the out
come on the Russian front and
further evidence of the size of
our effort. They received a par
tial answer in FDR's budget
message and his report on 1.-The
state Of the Union"
The Roosevelt Churchill con-
ference. as intended. has also in
fluenced neutrals including Tur-
key and Portugal to resist Ber-
Inns advances. French forces at
Dakar showed less eagerness to
cooperate with the Nazis in that
area. This more stubborn atti-
tude of these nations may deter
Hitler from winter moves in
Africa through the Near East
or the lberian peninsula.
The military advantages have
been definite and immediate.
With the assurance that they
will receive . steady stream Of
supplies from this country, the
Russians and the Chinese can
sacrifice men and materials
which they would not otherwise.
The sovet's response was to re-
open aggressive warfare on the
Finnish front. Chang Kai-Shek
threw together a new army in
an attempt TO relieve the Brit
ish forces resisting the Japs'
push toward Singapore.

the furies which lead to house
wrecking. cruelties and burning
at the stake.
In the words of Archbishop
Shaughnessy, The insensate
hatred that war engenders is. in
many ways. the worst feature
of these terrific conflicts" We
should certainly guard against
this.
The advocacy of an attitude
OF INSTRUMENTATION or Of "tol-
ersnce' has been reduced to the
simple formula pronouncing
against the misuse OF the Japa-
nese now among us"
Does anyone care TO sponsor
the idea that we should mis-
use" the Japanese now with US?

we will do as we would be done

man, President Roosevelt ar

to help pull the United States
out Of the result of hangover

A MEXICAN political history
Is full of instances where
personal friendship and the well
fare of the nation are ranked
nigh above mere partisanship.
Once In while there Is an ex-
ception. The other night,
Joseph w. Martin. Jr., repre-
sentative in congress from
Massachusetts,, and chairman of
the Republican national COM
mittee, made a radio address
that was supposed to be an
appeal for political unity that
would eliminate party lines for
the duration of the war.
Joe" started off all right,
but as he went along his par
tisan leanings got the better Of
his announced purpose and he
gradually drifted into the same
sort of talk that marked the
campaign. He wants to be sure
that there will be a return TO
constitutional COVE en- I"
after the war. As it was used
during the campaign, "constitu-
tional government" was the YER
nacular for Republican party
government"
Joseph, Junior. was so imbued
with that idea that for months
after the campaign. and even
when 1t was evident that the
United States was being forced
into the World war. he func-
TONED more as political party
chairman than a member of a
representative body.

were young fellows together
and grew up TO be firm friends
with a lot of interests in COM
mon. They got into politics
Louie with a seat on top OF the
Democratic band wagon and
Reno becoming quite a figure in
the Republican ranks.
Next they became candidates
for office and the way those
guys lambasted each other and
the parties they represented one
would think that friendship
must be gone forever.
So, when Reno and Louie
louie being over here TO help
out in federal COURT spent three
hours huddled over a luncheon
table at the Tacoma club the
other day, there was consid-
cradle lifting of the eyebrows.
Some of the boys couldn't I'M
derstand why. after having
taken political potshots at each
other in a couple OF campaigns.
Reno and Louie could be 20
friendly. Reno want something?
Louie want something? Looks
kind of funny. doesn't it?
But as IL turns out. neither
Reno nor Louie wanted any
thing from the other except an
opportunity TO renew the per-
sonal friendship from which the
exigencies of business and poll
tics aud distance had separated
them for quite some time.
IL WAS just one Of those
things that can and do happen
In America. Two persons can
differ on politics and argue each
other off the platform and at
the same time remain congenial
personal friends.
For another example Of that
particularly American charas
teristic which enables bitterly
opposing political candidates to
get together after the battle is
over, take Wendell Willkie, Re-
publican candidate for presi-

greatest calamity that could be-

The next night the president
would be out with a "fireside

that would be bad for this
country.

There was nothing more for her

Of caterers assistants were prepar-
ing the buffet supper and the Gu
ban orchestra was playing In the
drawing room, where Claire KID
Gran. in a gown more respondent
than Barbara had ever seen, held
court. and where those who did not
wish to enter into the outdoor ac-
tivities were dancing to rumoa
music.
Standing alone on the hillside,
Barbara heard laughter that rose
above the music and it made her
feel as lonely as If she had been q
star in the cold heavens. looking
down upon the scene.
"Only, If l were" she thought.
Il should have the company OF
other stars"
There was nothing TO keep her
from going down to join that
laughter on the pond. Pamela had
urged her to. saying, you will
have almost the whole evening
free. Bring your skates and join
us as soon as you can" Shed said
that only a few hours earlier when
she was leaving the house with
Tony at her side.
She saw Tony now, picking out
his tall figure easily. He stood
alone. close TO one OF the burning
brush fires. But. even as she
watched. he was no longer alone.

Of Pamela? The unbidden question
was disturbing; 1t opened gates OF
memory, and the tide OF other
thoughts pushed through them. A
swift surge OF longing. a longing
for things she didn't put into
words. swept over her Widow and
mother she was. but telling herself
this was not enough to quell the
desires that made her conscious OF
her hunger for life. for love. for
gaiety. She was young. she was
woman and she was alone. com.
pletely, forlornly alone.

estate, colored lights strung In the
trees winked and blinked like myri-
ads Of giant firefiies and made
dancing shadows Of the silhouettes
of great, lacy trees upon the car
pet Of light snow that covered the
ground.
To her right, the mansion was
ablaze with lights that shone from
every window and cast golden
beams out into the shrubbery and
reached to the driv where gleam-
ing motors stood in double rows.
The lights Of a car turning into the
gates below the long drive sent an
arc Of light to halo the hill as II
approached From these things,
Barbara Wister turned her glance
to the more enchanting scene below
her.
Here, a circle of brush fires, at
tended by men in peasant costumes,
made a flaming frame for the big
pond that looked like an animated
picture out of nth century story
book. Torches Of red and white fire
threw giant shadows on the white
hillside and made the colors OF the
skaters costumes as clear as if the
night we're day
From where she stood. Barbara
singled out the costumes, the
clowns and mandarins, the Mickey
Mouse and polar bear, the inevita-
bic pierrettes and their harle-
gums. And then, as startling as ~
exclamation point. the Sirl like a
tall doll dressed all in white from
tips of her skating boots to the top
OF her white fur shake. the girl In
short white skirt with a wide band
OF fox. That would be Pamela. And
step by step with her was the tall
figure in a Cossack costume: Tony.
Pamela was right. You're per-
feet Cossack," she'd said to him
when she first saw him in costume,
but he'd scarcely been listening for
looking, saying, I'D like to paint
you In that costume, Barbara"
That had been nice of him.
She had no illusions about her
simple costume. Shed made 1t her
self and 1t consisted OF no more
than a full gathered skirt with a
warm basque blouse that buttoned
tightly to where her little bonnet
was tied with blue ribbons. The
bonnet she'd faced with pansies
from an old hat and thought it
much too young and coy. The
whole thing had been concocted
out Of purple velveteen curtains
she'd found in the attic.
She hadn't wanted to wear a cos
tune, protesting to Pamela that
she was only part Of the hired help,
a protest that was founded on
Claire's cool behavior. But Par
mela had insisted, pointing out that
she would be less conspicuous than
il she wore ordinary dress. Even
the skating walters are to be in

CHAPTER TWENTY

AAAN@ ~
BARBARA allowed Tony and
Pamela to persuade her that she
was the only one to stage the car
nival.
Then it's all settled" Pamela
looked at her wristwatch and
jumped TO her feet. I'm have to
dash. drove Tony over so I'll have
to drive him back. - I'll tell
Mother to expect you at three to-
morrow. BY the way, what
sort Of a costume do you think we
ought to dream up for Tony, Bar
bara ?"
Barbara considered him
thoughtfully. thinking how admir-
ably his shabby tweeds suited him.
"Well," she said, wouldn't that de-
pend on what his girl is wearing ?
You see, a monk and a ballet
dancer, or a clown and q queen,
would be too homogeneous II you're
going to have prizes"
Il told you she was good" Pa
mela said.
Let me know then when you've
decided what you are going to
wear" Tony said.
Pame!a's eyes flashed to his In
stantly, and she saw that he had
spoken to Barbara.
And she saw the way their
glances were locked and the faint
color that surprise had sent to Bar
bara's cheek. and the same faint
color that sprang from Tony's
knowledge OF what he had said.
II she had been four years
younger, she would have given way
TO the tears Of disappointment that
made a lump in her throat. But she
was IS. and already a woman of
the world. so she said coolly. Then
I think you'd better plan on the
Cossack costume / FIRST suggested,
Tony. You're to be my beau that
night. you know"
You'd make a perfect Cossack,
Tony" Barbara said. And what
ever Pamela wears is sure to be
charming. What is it to be. Pam ?"
That's going to be a surprise,
The whole evening will be full Of
surprises. Wait and see!"
The strum OF guitars was louder
and the beat Of a haunting melody
that had begun beside a gypsy
campfire long ago in some distant
land grew faster, wilder. and its
cry rose to the sky that was like
a star-studded bowl Of lapis lazuli
overturned upon fairyland.
A girl in purple velvet stood on
the crest OF a hill between another
hill topped with the lighted man
sion that was Stormwold and the
brightly lighted pond below where
a gypsy orchestra in a giant gilt
shell played that wild, stirring
music. She was silently drinking in
the sight OF beauty that she and
the night between them had Gre
ated.
Above and around her. all over
the woodland that was the kilcran
