Duncan said that the union

"Such plant would be compe-

would be welcomed and might be a

Duncan asserted the union had
taken the action in compliance
with President Roosevelt's execu-

tel did not acknowledge it had
been approached.
At the second meeting, which
was widely attended by whites, the
Hayes incident was discussed as
one phase of what Negroes believe
to be a concerted movement to
evacuate them from all second,
third and fourth class hotels. The
thrush of white workers to war in
dustries, and the ability of those
workers to pay higher rents, spea-
kers told the audience, had re-
suited in the evacuation Of many
Negro patrons.
Plans were made to call the
situation to the attention of the
Seattle fair rent committee and
federal authorities.
Racial Discrimination
AS did Hayes when he discussed
the matter with reporter, the
city council petitioners charged
Axis propaganda with heightening
racial discrimination throughout
the United States. Hayes, saying
he preferred not to go to Seattle
hotels under restrictions, stayed at
private home in Seattle.
Shortly after the committee of
five left Barash, the hotel associa-
ton secretary issued a formal
statement:
"My attention." he said, 'has
been called to statements that
have been made accusing the no
tells of the city of discriminating
against certain classes of persons.
TN this connection / wish to
state that the hotels of the city
do not discriminate In any way.
And a person who conducts HIM
self in the proper manner, and
who is willing to pay for the ser
vice that he desires, can avail him
self of the services offered by the
hotels irregardless of his race,
creed or color.
ITO my knowledge, no hotel In
the city has ever refused accom-
modations or services to anyone
on account of his race, color or
creed"
Mrs. Miller said, however, the
management of at least one local
hotel had told her the hotel would
accept any race but Negroes.
They said," she recalled, "that
white people would move away IL
Negroes were admitted"

Earlier in the day a petition
signed by Mrs. Edith Steinmetz,

twenty-five other women was pre-
scented to the city council asking
that "such action" be taken "as
will prevent a recurrence of race

They'll Keep The Faith
Japanese Courier

The problem of evacuation bulks
larger day by day. What to do,
and where to go are questions for
the Japanese and the government.
No responsible Japanese, so far
as we are informed, has questioned
either the right or the motive of
the government, although it means
the end, at least for the time be-
ing, of their way Of life, which
comedies exactly with the Amer
lean way of life. No group of peo-
pie has contributed more literally
according to its resources, to the
national defense program. Around
1000 of their young men are in
uniform. They have paid out hun
dreds of thousands of dollars for
defense bonds, and given heavily
to the Red Cross.
The two most pressing argu-
ments that we have heard sup
porting evacuation are: That they
may have saboteurs among them,
and that removal is for the per-
sonal safety of the Japanese them
selves.
Only recently ]. Edgar Hoover,
director of the FIJI, was quoted as
saying that no single instance Of
Axis-directed sabotage has been
found in the United States. Riley
Allen, editor of the Honolulu Star
Bulletin, and well known in Seat
tie, has declared there was no CIV
ilian sabotage in Hawaii. This was
confirmed lately by the chief Of
police Honolulu.
AS for personal safety, leaders
among the Japanese-Americans,
so-called, have emphatically stated
that such was matter of secon-
dairy consideration with them. The
first is national safety.
All of this, we insist, constitutes
a record of which any people may
justly be proud. And they'll keep
the faith.
Still, the Japanese must realize
that the most difficult days are
yet to come. There will be sacri-
flee and suffering beyond descrip-
ion. In so gracefully bowling to
the inevitable they already have
made contribution to their be-
loved land. Let them be prepared
to suffer and to sacrifice still fur
ther on the altar of liberty.
These people are being tried as
by fire. The dross will be elm
mated and the pure gold remain.
1t will be this nugget of patriot
ism of which they and the entire
peoples Of the democracies may
be proud after the dark days are
over, and Japan and other agrees
sors have been beaten to their
knees. God speed the Day!
