The w ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

tMajor Robert S. Allen on active duty.) WASHINGTON-Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee heard a first-hand chapter on Gastapo meth ods which they never dreamed exist ed inside the United States when they listened to the testimony of Gov Ernest Gruening of Alaska the other day.
 Gov. Gruening told how 400 cen sorship employees operate in Seattle, reading all mail between Alaska and the United States, and how many of these letters, called 'intercepts, D are mimeographed and circulated to 3l U. s. government offices. and four British agencies.
 The same censorship applies to Puerto Rico and other territories of the United States, though they are supposed to enjoy the rights and advantages of being under the U. S Government. Despite the manpowey shortage, a total of ll,000 persons are reported to be engaged in open- ing and reading mail and circulating it around Government bureaus.
 Most letters are strictly private and between army officers and their wives, discussing plans for visiting each other. Some letters complain about the price of food, others about living conditions.
 One letter from professor in Puerto Rico told how Puerto Rican politician had sent his wife to the United States and had taken col ored mistress by whom he had three black children, because he believed it politically wise to play i'll with the colored race. The letter stated that Governor Tugwell didn't seem much concerned about the morals of the politician.
 This letter was circulated to var ious Government agencies and the British.

In this broadcast official one, Japan admitted
that she had been secretly preparing for the attack
on Pearl Harbor as much as year in advance.

their lives in the attack the Tokyo commentator de-
clared:

Tinkham was lolling in the Park

Canada's Plebiscite
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enqurer)
The plebiscite in Canada shows overwhelming
ma jority in the Dominion as a whole in favor of
CONSUMPTION for overseas service But it also shows
an unrelenting hostility to CONSUMPTION in French
Canada hostility measured by three to-one vote
against the proposal to release the Ottawa Govern
ment from its pledges The net result is to focus
attention than the profound cleavage
between French and British Canada
If Prime Minister Mackenzie King wants to go
ahead with general CONSUMPTION for service
the vote gives him fair mandate because Canadians
as whole voted nearly two to to give him free
hand in the issue But if the government is chiefly
concerned for Canadas unity the pebscite result is
to be construed warning. Quebec is completely
unreconciled, in spite of the events since December
T. which prove that this is North Americas war just
as much as Great Britain's.
We have mnorites and factions in the Unit
ed States. But fortunately there is considerable
which is sharply different in race, language
igion and culture from the remainder of the coun-
try That is Canada's persistent problem, and the
unfailing headache of successive Canadian Gov
ernments
Military CONSUMPTION happens to have become the
most fragrant example of that cleavage in the Do
minion. Technically the pebscite result paves the
way for CONSUMPTION, because it proves that most
Canadians want it. But the vote just well
be used to demonstrate the inadvsability of con-
scripton now.
