JAPANESE-AMERICAN
PROBLEM SERIOUS

Editor The Times: The prob
lem of the Japanese-American
is a serious one in these times,
and will naturally become pro-
gressively worse unless rem
edied. Each new atrocity COM
mitted will intensity American
hatred to the point where some
of the more emotional of us may
commit uncalled for crimes
against these fellow Americans.
To injure one is to injure us all.
The fault lies partly on both
sides.
The Japanese Americans have
become isolated, generally
speaking. from the rest of us.
They conduct their church serv-
ices in Japanese church. They
hold their dances for Japanese.
II they choose to drink beer or
wines, they do so at a japanese
tavern. They eat in japanese
restaurants. Their homes are
mostly grouped in certain sec
tons. Their racial life is so
wholly japanese that they might
as well be living in Japan except
for the greater benefits received
from their adopted nation.
They have built a wall around
themselves which fosters suspi-
cion and unfriendliness among
others than their race.
BY doing these things they are
setting themselves apart as be-
ing either too good to associate
with their fellow Americans. or
not good enough. either of which
is naturally wrong because we
are equal according to our quail
tiles, great or small, not our
color.
They should renew and re-
double their efforts to enter into
full American social life.
On the other hand. their fellow
Americans should help them.
Make IT known TO them that
they are welcome to attend our
dances and mingle with us at
our social functions. Let them
know we welcome them over a
friendly drink at our taverns.
Let them be as ws-fellow COM
radesi
Welcome them 10 worship at
our churches with us. invite
them to friendly social gather
ings. Let's all be brothers and
sisters, and our problem will be
solved TO q great extent.
OF course, I realize that these
friendly relations do already
exist In a few scattered cases.

can, son and heir of one of the
German dye trust founders; Hans
w. Aickelin, G. A. F. vice presi-
dent, another naturalized Ameri-
can. These are the principal per-
sons indicted.
Where Judge Mack and Am
bassador Bullitt come into the
picture is through the staging
of sham battle within the G.
A. F. organization, a battle in
which IT is made to appear the
company is rid of its German
control and is now run 100 per
cent for u. S. interest by 100
per cent Americans possessing
the unquestioned patriotism and
loyalty Of Judge Mack and AM
bassador Bullitt and represented
by such distinguished counsel as
the ex attorney general, the
Hon. Homer Stille Cummings.
MAY BOOST PRODUCTION
1t is entirely possible that this
effort to Americanize General
Aniline and Film corporation will
result in 100 per cent production
for the good of the country in
wartime. G. A. F. is the second
largest manufacturer of photo
graphic equipment in the United
States and one of the three larg-
est manufacturers of dyes and
chemicals used in textiles, paints,
leather goods and plastics. Much
Of its output eventually finds it's
way into material used by the
war industries.
II Is essential a company Of
this size and character remain
In American control, not only
during the war hut after. And
no matter what kind of win
dow-dressing Is shown to the
public In the form of super
patriot directors and officers,
the fact remains that IS per
cent of the common stock of
G. A. #. Is owned by a Swiss
company which n controlled
by i. G. Farbenindustrie of
Germany.
Profits from the operations Of
firms like these would even now
be going to Germany if it were
not for the freezing of German
funds. 1t would not apply, Of
course, to the funds of natural
lied Americans like the original
panel of G.. A. r. officers and
directors, nor would it apply to
transfers Of funds to neutral
Switzerland.
More alarming than even this
profit motif. however. are the
potentialities which tie-ups such
as this offer for espionage on
American war preparations. Do
