AXIS DIPLOMATS
TREATED DIFFERENTLY

The contrast between the
treatment of japanese and other
axis diplomats at the capital
has caused considerable discus
sion. While the official Ger
man household has been trun-
died off 10 a ritz hotel At q
famous southern resort the Japs
have been held incommunicsdo
In their handsome low-lying en-
bassy on Massachusetts ave.
The contrast in treatment Is
an ironic commentary on the
capitals attitude toward the
Germans and the Japs. There Is
no ill-feeling here toward Hit
ler's emissaries who took part
in all social activities until they
were ousted. But there is ter
rifle resentment against Messrs.
Nomura and kurusu and their
embassy staff. They might be
lynched II they appeared on the
streets OF Washington. There

grating force"
These are words of wisdom
and worth thinking about. And
especially by that class of peo-
pie who feel that they are not
really patriotic unless they can
express their feelings in a most
vituperous manner. And now
that We are at war with Japan
also. every American should
snalyze carefully his emotional
reaction to the truths as well
as the rumors Of the day. Hat
red for Japan and hatred for
Hitler serves no useful purpose.
II does do harm to ourselves.
