ITALIAN NON-CITIZENS

The number of enemy aliens in the
United States has been greatly reduced by
the Federal Governments decision to free
unnaturalized Italians from the restrictions
placed upon enemy aliens.
~ When the war began, there were 500
III non-cltizen Italians in this country,
263,930 Germans and AT 1863 japanese. All
CT these people were classed as enemy
aliens. Their travel was regulated, they
were not allowed to possess cameras and
firearms and required to obey certain local
regulations
Recently, the Acknowledgement an
nounced that careful surveys by the FBI
and other agencies proved that the loyalty
of Italian non-aliens was almost unanimous
Only 232 Italians have been interned COM
pared with 1928 Germans and 2,151 jap
anese. Records show that ever the past
ten years. Italians have led all other minori-
ties in applications for citizenship.
The decision of the Government. in re-
gard to Italian non-citizens raises a ques-
ticn as to German and Japanese alien
enemies. While undoubtedly, some OF
these individuals are entirely loyal to the
United States, there is generaF eonEictionl
that among them are spies, real or potential
sabotenrs and other subyersive elements.
Consequently, without being able 20 Judge

BEGINNING TO FIGHT

The American people are fighting
with their backs to the wall and they are
rapidly realizing it. Each day it is becom-
ing more difficult to operate industries. in
divldual businesses, and farms. Each dav
more men from the home front are sent 10
the military front. Each day sees new
threats arise to basic American institu-
tionS.
But each day sees the ingenuity and
resourcefulness of the American people
reach new heights. The time for shoulder
fighting without supeffluous words about
unitX-iS- here Capital- and labor, industry
and agriculture are going to have to aban-
don traditional dogmas. That they are be-
ginning to do so is best evidenced in a re-
cent bulletin of the Standard Oil Company
OF Indiana. Executives and employees of
that company worked after hours during
the summer helping farmers harvest crops.
This single instance may not seem i'm
portant But it points the way TO the kind
CT unity that is needed to win this war. IF
farmers can get good look at few men
from industry in shirt sleeves and dispel the
city slicker' illusion, it will teach us more
about the working of the American free on
terpfise system than all the propaganda IN
The world.

true that unjust criticism defeats it.
self. War administrations do not have
time to meet and disprove rumor,
supposition and unjust criticism. Nor
is it Anglo-Saxon procedure to be
held guilty until proven innocent.
Space does not permit detailed ref
utation of DR.. Alexander's charges.
They are without proof and appear
to evade the issue. The question is
not whether there is smoke. There
always is. The question is whether
you misread the smoke and use it
to hamper progress.
DIR. ALEXANDER REPLIES: Mr.

would deliberately heckle or ham,
string any public servant at such a.
critical time But anyone whose loved

tons as to the quality of our equip
ment and the nature of our grand
strategy.

MIR. BURT OPENS: 1 have never
heard an intelligent American chal-
lenge the democratic right of criti-
cism. The test is whether the critic
approaches his task with clean hands
and mind devoid of all prejudice.
Today this test is a matter of life
or death. Nor is it difficult to ap-
ply: One has only to read between
the lines and listen with an inner
ear. There is room now for only one
prejudice; devotion to victory and
the American way Of life.
Unfortunately $50 of our press,
most columnists, at least four in
fluential weekly magazines, and nu-
merous men in public life, are Bit
terly opposed to the Administration
This is not true of the people them
selves. The result is a split personal
ity, split criticism, which handi-
caps both our morale and the war
effort. Destructive critics try to win
the war while pointing scornfully at
the duly elected officials in charge
of the war. They even impugn Off
cial motives. This. at best, is, mere
supposition. At worst it is criminal
prejudice. 7-'' -. ''i'9
Fair, constructive, criticism based
on fact is desirable. But most criti-
cisrn currently leveled at the Adj
ministration is based on political or
economic prejudice While much of
this prejudice may be unconscious,
how can anything based on prejudice
be wise?
DIR. ALEXANDER CHALLENGES;
I'm afraid Mr.. Burt Classics criti-
cism he likes as constructive, and
criticism that he doesn't like as de-
StructiUe. This division is artificial
and meaningless, for all criticism is
destructive or constructive depending
upon the attitude with tUhich it is re-
ceiUed. That is far more important
than the attitude with which it is given.
s>Public servants must expect criti-
cisrn. It is the crucible in which pro-
grams should be tested. The suspen-
sion of criticism virtually means
suspension of the right of free speech.
l don't think Mr.. Burt wants that.
If vigorous criticism can clear up the
confusion of bureaucratic pyramids
and hasten our victory over our
wicked enemies let's have more of it!
MR.. BURT REPLIES: I. on nv
part, am afraid that Dr. Alexander
has once more and finally evaded
the issue. Criticism should be judged
on the record of the critic. If the
critic has always been unfriendly
there is at least a reasonable doubt
concerning the constructiveness of
his intentions.
s These obstructive critics know
Hnat they are not going to like the
acts Of the Administration before
they even know what the Admins
tration is going to do. Starting with
This false premise how could their
criticism be anything but destructive?
Honest constructive criticism cannot
be based on preconceived notions
and false premises.

FORGOTTEN GLORY

Too long have / neglected this
A love l nursed for little things
Till now they're shrouded in a
mist
That damply, bleakly clings.
No high white moon can call me
out
Or April rain on upturned face:
TIE stirring songs that move
about
The ta,narind's gown of dripping
lace.
I've walked too long-and now
it seems
l cannot search for things I've
Forgotten are those tinted
dreams
My nimble mind once came
across.
I must go back-until find .
The glory that once filled my
mind.
