Mass Movement Of Japs
Unparalleled in Our History
BY DAMON RUNYON

THERE have been many mass
movements of populations in
the United States for one reason
and another, but the evacuation
of the Japanese on the Pacific
Coast is undoubtedly the great
est enforced shifting of the kind
in our history.
You have to go back many
years to find a parallel proceed
ing in this country. Long ago,
the minole Indians we're
moved into Florida and there
were other transfers of Indian
tribes from one section of the
country to another as pacific
measures. The Indians, or some
of them, were shunted about be-
cause they were regarded as a
menace to the peace of certain
localities.
But. within the memory of
man now living, there have been
few mass transfers of peoples
and the only forcible excavations
that come to mind were in cases
where certain lands were needed
for reservoirs and projections
from floods and small bodies of
residents of the lands were COM
PEELED TO move elsewhere. There
are few instances of entire
towns being moved for this
COME great voluntary move
~ ments have taken place in
the United States, notably the
rushes into public lands thrown
open for settlement. and the mi
grafton of the Okies from the
dust bowls TO California.
But. of course, h re Is no
analogy between these move
ments and the current evacua-
tion of the Japanese. which is
strictly compulsory and cannot
be refused or evaded by those
affected.
THERE is much speculation as
Il 10 the ultimate outcome OF
the removal to new territory OF
upwards of 10000 men, women
and children. That is 10 say.
some wonder what will happen
to the Japs after the war. 1t
probably all deDendS on the
length of the war and on whether
the United States will ever again
permit the grouping Of large
populations of aliens along its
coast lines.
If the war is of long duration.
il is possible that many of the
Japanese, especially the farm
erS. will become so firmly rooted
in the soil to which they are be-
ing transplanted as to wish 10
remain there.

A Sensible Ruins

i ruled soundly this week in refusing to grant
poyment insurance benefits to conscientious DIRECTORS
who refuse to work in production plants.
This was obviously not attempt to scott at the
religious scpes of any person group of persons Our
government recognizes these scrupes and respects them
But when they preclude mans going to for his
country the government tucks that away in
scentious DIRECTORS camp
Certainly the State of Michigan would be derelct if it
paid unemployment insurance to persons who refuse
work in defense pansregardless of their convictions
religious or social racial anything else That would
be putting premium subversve activities and would
open the door to too many mangerers who might take
advantage of the religious scrupes idea merely
excuse to loaf at the public expense.

There are supplemental tales

Churchill felt Grips hot breath
on the back of his neck in

into the Indian political maze
to cool him off, expecting full
well he would never come out
running-at least not running
against Churchill for the prime
ministry.
That one was in circulation
soon after Grips left London.
1t is no doubt based only upon
conjecture. and the conjecture
will be strengthened in the
minds of some people by the
way the trip turned out. Mr..
Grips certainly slowed down.

TO THE EDITOR:
THERE were in our prisons,
l. state and federal, in 1941,
1888 convicts. They are
there for all sorts of offenses.
For the most part they are do
ing work of little significance.
Why not put them to work on
some of the many hundreds of
war parts which it would be
safe for them TO make?
On this, Warden Moore Of
Ionia says:
IL believe can say with COM
plete assurance that prisoners
OF this institution and probably
Of most institutions would ex-
hibit eagerness and patriotism
IL given an opportunity to enlist
in combat duty or to participate
In war production"
Warden Jackson OF Jackson
says:
I'VE believe the men would
hail war work as an opportunity
because of the added privilege Of
employment and income"
From the office of Donald NJ.
Nelson comes the following:
you will be glad TO know
that the federal prisons have
for sometime been producing
war materials. In addition, the
War Production Board has been
promised the cooperation Of all
states I'm making the facilities
Of state prison shops available
for the production OF war
goods"

Here's why the men in the best

Put yourself in the enemy's posi-

of an air attack on our cities are
destruction of industrial plants and
other military objectives and the
creation of panic among the civilian
population.
Incendiaries Better Weapon.
As fas as the destruction OF a
plant is concerned. they figure the
enemy would consider 1t more i'm

that reason, they would load their
planes with high explosives.

Gen. Porter, even If fully loaded
with gas bombs, could carry enough
TO be of any great importance; and
protection against any such token
gassing is rather easily provided for
our citizens II they understand q
few simple facts"
In other words, technical rather
than humane considerations would
deter the enemy from such an In
effective pay load, according to the
experts.
Aerial bombardment by gas has
not been used In this war. The
authorities on the subject consider
1t extremely likely that the enemy
would try it out before crossing the
ocean TO do 1t.
