WAR is

BY next Monday all japanese in Alaska, wheth-
they are American citizens or not if they are l6
of age must report to their nearest army post
for evacuation. The place will be decided later
by the Western Defense Command. Each adult may
take with him not more than 1000 pounds of bag

A thousand pounds of baggage sounds like a great
deal. But it isn't when you're moving home. It
isn't pleasant picture. 1t isn't any way to treat

CRIPPS AND INDIA

Sir Stafford Grips has failed in his attempt TO
consolidate the many political and religious creeds
Of India into one unit Or perhaps it would be bet
ter to say that the terms of independence offered
India by the British War Cabinet have failed to pro-
vide an incentive for a successful consolidation of
India
Remarks made by several of Indias leaders soon
after the British envoy contacted them in India
point out that Sir Stafford'S visit was not cam
pete failure These Indian leaders, most of them,
seem satisfied that they do not want japanese i'm
perialism over that now held by Britain 1t is then
reasonable to expect that the Indians will resist any
effort by the Japanese to force this Far Eastern
brand of imperialism on this great land of more
than 300000O00 persons
Sir Stafford evidently did all that any man
could do to bring about unity in India. He could
net go beyond the offered by the British War
Cabinet These terms evidently were not enough.
The promise of fun dominion status after the war
obviously from the viewpoint of Indians is not as
worth fighting for as fun dominion status now
Nevertheless the Indians through their leaders have
said that they will resist any attempt on their coun-
Try by Japan And chat should help
From the viewpoint of America if India had
been granted full independence now Americans
would have felt better about fighting to protect
India as a free country rather than as land under
the control of British imperialism
But even if India had been granted full indie
pendence by the British it is doubtful that in the
short time left before she would have been called
upon to defend herself against Japan midas con-
fused and widely separated populace could have
worked out any satisfactory form of government
would have been able to weld itself into strong
enough unit to stand in the face of an enemy in
vason.
