wEsTwooD REPLIES
ON JAPANESE QUESTION

Editor. The Times: Mr.. Nun
Iseri's letter In your issue of Oct.
II was partly answered by mine
Of the 10th and there Is no need
to repeat II here. He asserts that
the American born Japanese have
the right Of equality and the ben
efits Of democracy. For the sake
Of argument agree that il correct.
but why should Iseri In the same
breath deny the same advantages
to the peoples Of China? Myscom-
parison OF the humane treatment
Of American born Japanese by the
u. s. government as against the
brutality James Benjam n
Powell for example) to u. s. citi-
Gems. and others. under Japanese
rule was not illogical--as stated
by Iseri-but Just plain. common
sense and good. sound reasoning.
have met some fine Japanese
young people; sat down TO lunch
with them. The pity of It all Is
that the two evils of prejudice and
Misunderstanding by. and toward
. small handful Of American born
japanese tless than one-fifth Of
one per cent? have plunged US into
war.
Mr.. Iseri asks me rs this a ra-
cial war. or a war 10 save de-
mocracy7" In my humble opinion
Il IL neither. but fight by US for
self preservation. II 10 now clear
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1942-10-23
. The Pity Of II All

The full impact of the trying days in
which we are living never hit us until,
quite accidentally. we stumbled on news
item reporting Anne Shirleys 100000
suit against the Charles B. Rogers Pro-
auctions.
1t appears that. in picture, Miss
Shirley was shown raising her skirt. Then
came cut. In the next scene nothing
showed but legs. And what legsl What
legs?
Defendants used a double for Miss Shir-
ley and said doubles legs were of unflat-
tering dimensions, belonging to a former
burlesque actress, and were more muscular
and half again as large as plaintiffs legs"
Truly, these be parlous times. Moth
ing, apparently. is sacred.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1942-10-23
. No Follow THROUGH

When a golfer fails to follow through,
he slices. and his ball, curving, dissipates
much of its energy in that curve, which
is wasteful and very annoying to the
golfer.
The Citizens Emergency Committee
suggests that the American taxpayer is
like duffer at golf. He pays his taxes,
but he doesn't follow through to see that
they go straight into the sinews of war.
So the taxes slice, are diverted to dis
pensable non-war uses, and lose much of
their power to harm the axis.
The new tax bill may remind us to
follow through.

= Our Opinions
. Extending The Draft

Now that President Roosevelt has
given green light to the step which the
army has been demanding, majority lead
ers in congress are free TO consider lower
ing the draft age to Is years.
The army has asked for the Is and
19-year-oldsters because they make the
best soldiers, and in this war we need the
best soldiers. Nobody, who has served
in the armed forces in wartime, or who
has been in position to observe closely,
can question that the younger men are
superior in every way, except In that
judgment which comes only through ex-
perience and long training.
We have millions of older men in
uniform, among whom there is aboundant
material for leadership. Now We need
men who can fight.
But the president brought out another
angle which is at least equally vital TO
those who saw American troops in action
in World War I.
Good training will save many, many
lives in battle. The highest rate of casual
ties is always suffered by units comprised
of inadequately trained men,
Nobody who realizes what we are up
against in this war has any doubt that
the younger men must be called into
rrisices we lace the CnolCe. SnAl We
call them now. while there still is time to
train them in the use of their weapons,
and give them a chance to fight for their
lives, or shall we draft them at the last
minute, send them directly into the fight
ing lines and watch them die?
We are not unaware how the parents
Of such lads feel at a time like this.
neither Is the president. One of the rare
notes of emotion broke through his elab-
crate elocution when he said:
Il can very thoroughly understand the
feeling Of all parents whose sons have
entered our armed. forces. | have an
appreciation Of that feeling-and so has
my wife,"
Indeed they have. with four sons of
their own in the armed forces, at least
one of whom has participated in a major
engagement.
But Mr.. Roosevelt feels, and we be-
lieve that most parents viii agree with
him and with us, that the issues are too
grave to permit personal reluctance to
enter into the picture.
The United States needs these boys.
Democracy needs these boys. They would
be far better dead than slaves to Hitlerism,
which is the only alternative to winning
this war.

. Wallflower Moses

In recapitulating the management
errors being made in Washington, don't
forget that New York's ineffable Bob
Moses-this generations prime specimen
of the executive for whom nothing is i'm
possible = still languishes in innocuous
desuetude while war production stalls for
lack of his type Of talents.
Mr.. Moses is an arbitrary, overbearing,
often quarrelsome and always acerbic in
diyidual who can't be pushed around even
by presidents. Obviously. and understand
ably Mr. Roosevelt doesn't want him under
foot
But this is war. There are plenty
of mean, nasty jobs that only red-tape
cutter can accomplish. We'd raise the
odds on quicker victory the day Bob Moses
and two or three other war wallflowers
were put TO work in Washington.

, Your Opinions

and obvious TO everybody that
Japan had planned for a long
time. by deceit and treachery. To
stab America in its heart and
finish the kill with a few swift
blows. WHAT THEN? Would
America have received preferred
treatment over that melted out to
other countries! Under normal
conditions American-born Japan
csc were sitting pretty. They
could travel back and forth. claim
ing citizenship when they reached
Japan with all its privileges and
on returning here produce their
birth certificates and claim the
same citizenship rights in Amer
lea. Now we have been forced into
war and conditions are changed.
II 1t were possible for a group Of
American-born Japanese men to
leave here and arrive at Yoko-
hama what would the Japanese
government dor Intern them as
prisoners Of war because they
happened to be born on American
soil, or induct them Immediately
into its own military forces as
Japanese citizens. The answer Is
obvious.
