This Is Our Enemy
Cincinnati Enquirer)

The personal story of Robert Belaire, United Press correspondent in Tokyo recently released by the Japanese story printed in The Enquirer Saturday tells us a great deal about our Japanese enemy. MT Bellare and other newspapermen were interned civilians in Japan. They were beaten, choked and tortured by Japanese police in futile attempts to ex tract information or statements from them, in vio- ation of international law and international morality
 It is well that we should know what is happening. For there still are Americans who think this war is pushover We have got to understand the sort Of enemy we are dealing with. Japanese military and police officials are ruthless and cruel They cun ming and without conscience, They use brutality as normal weapon of national policy. They have no regard for treaty obligations for the code of decency which most civilized countries have usually observed in as in peace.
 The conduct of Japanese officers and soldiers in the sack of Ranking was world scandal which will stand as sordid black mark on the record of the Japanese Empire as long as there are men in this world who respect decency and honor The conduct of Japanese officials toward American civilian pris oners is just another example of the callous bru- tality and uncvilized behavior of enemy
 In contrast to this, treating eight Naz sabo-
 eurs as if they were honored guests They are more consideratey treated than most Americans in the ordinary Police Court, when hailed there fol traffic violations. The American army's on the side of courtesy are almost as startling the excesses of the Japanese on the side of brutality We must of course respect the rights of al in- cluding enemy spies. But deal with then expeditiously. And we certainly can recognize the cruel character of enemies. The sooner we un- derstand that, the sooner we shall buckle down tc this war in the grim spirit needed.

BOB WERSIER OF
 1RpHAHS QE NQRIH' yBII!hl6 IN JUNEAU

Bob Webster, who was one of the stars off Orphans of the North" an independent motion pie ture produced at Taku Glacier in 1888, is now in Juneau waiting for transportation to the south. where he is to hire cast for his newest venture, a dramatic stock tent show which he will operate in Sitka.
 Webster played the part of the sourdough in the film, which was produced here with Mary Joyce and Ann Louise Henning also taking part. ~.
 Since that time. Webster has been. living in his home town, Houston, Texas, but five months ago returned to visit in Sitka. His decision to operate a dramatic stock company there was brought about by the need, he said, for more entertainment facilities in Sitka. He will produce his shows both old and new, stock plays, under q cap- vas tent. He expects to be in the south for several months casting his actors and hopes to open his project in about 90 days.

ington Merry Go- Round column clipped The facts which were written about in this particular column had been printed several weeks before in The Elm pire after being transmitted the Signal Corps system The facts came into the Territory, past the very same censors this week in Time maga- zine This article concerned charges of San Francisco judge against Gen. John l. Dewitt, aleg- ing that the problem of evacuating San Francisco in case of raid had not been looked into with care
 Thus there seems to be no attempt being made at any standardization of policy with respect to what can be sent to Alaska and what cannot be sent what may be printed and what may not
 It is a known fact that the Navy Department has cleared stories Alaska which have been turned down by the Army The Army, has allowed trans mission of news to Alaska which the postal censors have deleted.
 This business of censorship to be a sort of headed Hydra. We aren't clear about the duties of any of the heads which include the Office of Facts and Figures, the Office of War In formation the Office of Censorship. the Postal Cen sorship the Army and the Navy.
 Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond recently ran the gauntlet in the of registering protest.
 He started out with the Secretary of War, went on to his administrative assistant who referred him to the Chief Postal Censor who turned the letter over to Byron Price of the Office of Censorship Corps which should be under the Secretary of War.
 This says Delegate Dimond, is what some people call passing the buck"

CENSORS' NONSENSE

We wonder how many Alaskan residents have been puzzling this week over the gaping holes made by the postal censors in their copies of Newsweek. Probably no more than have been puzzling over the tattered pages of their Seattle newspapers.
 Theoretically. the censors are supposed to be working with one main objective in mind-to keep news that would give the enemy valuable informa- ton, aid and comfort out of enemy hands. ~
 The Newsweek clippings collected by censors this week related not in the slightest to anything mili tary. One took in politics the other sports Both concerned the racial problem of equal privileges for Negroes
 Said one item in part: Chief interest in the Arkansas Democratic preferential primary centered about an effort of the Negro Democratic Association to test a party regulation barring Negroes from pri mary voting Nothing much happened; those who tried to cast ballots July 28 obeyed their leaders instructions to bow politely and leave without ado when permission was refused and few-the small total was undetermined-su in voting here and there about the state :"
 The other item concerned racial discrimination against Negroes ip professional baseball,
 The only earthly reason can see for elimnat- ing such news from the magazine is the suppositon that its transmission would either tell the enemy that people in the United States still discriminate against the colored race. thus giving them comfort or, because Negro troops stationed in Alaska might read the stories and feel bad.
 As far as the first supposition is concerned the widely distributed news story that aluminium work have decided to strike for higher wages, thus costing the United States many bombers a day would give the enemy much more comfort. And as far the second goes, every Negro in ol from the United States knows the various forms oi discrimination and should feel all the better to know that these examples are being aired, criticized.

cHILE's PRESIDENT COMING

A lot of Latin American good will statesmen have come to Wash ington since, Pearl Harbor - the President of Peru, the President of Colombia, Venezuela, and many others. But by far the most im- portant of the visiting Latin-Am- srican diplomats will be President Rios of Chile.
 After considerable negotiation, in which President Roosevelt himself ,ook hand, an official invitation $ being sent to Rios and it is Snown that he will accept, prob ably arriving here in October.
 Importance of this lies in the fact that Chile is one of only two countries in the Western Hemis- phere which have not broken dip lomatic relations with the Axis. President Rios forthcoming visit, therefore, indicates that Chile is yeering toward a break, and that the break will probably come dur ing his sojourn here. Should Chile throw the Axis overheard, it will have very important effect upon Argentina, whose Government has leaned toward the Axis although the great mass of the Argentine people are definitely anti-Axis.
 The Chilean Presidents plan to visit the LISA, is a real stroke for popular Chilean Ambassador Michels, as well as for the Good Neighbor policy of Sumner Welles and for FDR himself. Ambassador Michels last month visited Chile and laid the groundwork for the
