ever you can

I THINK it extremely unlikely
- that the Japanese now being
evacuated from the Pacific Coast
areas will ever again be per-
mitted to return in any consid-
cradle numbers to the territory
close TO our shore lines. In other
words, / believe the mass trans
fer of this population to be per-
manent, and quite properly so.
The Pacific Coast always will
be the location OF our greatest
defense factories, or at least for
that long period of years before
the lessons of this war are for
gotten. and a new breed of paci-
fists springs up. II will always
be the base of operations for
our navy in the Pacific.
Hence. the danger of the alien
population on the West Coast
that is now being eliminated as
far as possible for the current
emergency will continue, and it
would be extremely foolish to
permit the Japanese to seep
back into their old channels, it
would merely renew a situation
that was always more or less an
irritant and finally became a
distinct menace.
Americans are usually in
forgiving mood toward their en-
enies in war after America wins
a war. We make the most gall
liant gestures toward our beaten
foes. But / doubt that any per-
son now living, will see the day
that the japanese are forgiven
by our people generally, for the
sneak punch against Pearl Har-
Dor The treachery of that act
will not be erased from the
memory of Americans as long as
this nation endures.
LAD it been a blow delivered
IL after due warning in the
form Of a declaration of war
and in a fair fight, Americans
would have taken il as the
fortune or rather misfortune Of
war. But the iniquitious cir
cumStances surrou ding the
blow will always be remembered

Japs Will Never Return,
En- Masse, to Pacific Coast
BY DAMON RUNYON

and even after Toxic has been
leveled to dust and Japan
brought to abject surrender. il
will never again be fully trusted
by our people, and the distruSt
will inevitably extend to all
japanese wherever they may be
found.
1t is partly this feeling, but
mainly considerations of ma
tional safety that will prevent
the return of the evacuated
japanese to their former haunts
along the Pacific Coast after the
war. That some will be per-
mitted to come back, especially
those born in this country and
consequently citizens by right of
birth. there is no doubt.
But the massing of the Japa-
neSe in whole sections of cities
like Los Angeles and in neigh
borhoods is probably thing of
the past.
Perhaps the number OF Japa-
nese in any one city may be re-
stricted. Perhaps they will be
allowed 10 establish and build
up their own communities in the
areas TO which they are being
evacuated or on lands else
where to be provided by the gov
eminent far from the seaboards,

THE return of the aliens to
Il Japan after the war has
been discussed by some, their
acceptance by Japan to be made
one of the terms of the peace
treaty. if necessary. 1t is not
improbable that the restrictions
under which they may have to
live in the United States may
make a homegoing quite well
come to many of the aliens.
/ have heard numerous Cali
fornians assert their confidence
in the loyalty of the American
born japanese. and this conf
dence may be well founded.
Unfortunately for the Amer
lean born japanese however,
the American people are at this
time in no mood to differen-
tate between them and their
alien parents and other rela-
tives, and it will be many a day
before the mood changes.
Besides its value as a measure

leased into American hands sew
eral industries on which the

sents millions of dollars and
they were gradually expanding

Even the most rabid anti-Jap
Californian of the old days
could scarcely have hoped for
such a complete elimination of
"the yellow peril" as the evacu-
alton is bringing about.

n Tor WaSteDaSketS received the de-
- nunciaon that it deserves at the convention of the
American Newspaper Publishers Association in New
York
This boondogging emanates from countless govern
bureaus including the army and navy 1t is called
publicity service"
AS matter of fact, this service" is nothing less
than fat living for professional job-holders.
More important than that, it is continued menace
to growing paper shortage.
Publishers of newspapers in towns of less than
$4,000 complain that while they cutting down on
features in order periodically to paper prac-
ticaly whole forests of paper are being used up in
publicity agencies" in Washington to tell the news
papers and the public things that not worth know
ing that the legitimate agencies of the country
have already printed.
7 lifting hard at this Official extravaganza and
waste in Washington, Frank S. Hoy, publisher of
the lewiston Me-, Sun and chairman of the smaller
daies" of the A N p A. said in his report to the
vention:
"Our newspaper Offices flooded with wastefuI
and silly publicity stories emanating from the army and
navy services and from innumerable government bu-
reaus. The waste of time, money and of materials is
positively shocking those of who being forced
to paper labor and to reduce costs wherever
possible.
"Some of these releases go to great length to tell
that pingpong the most widely played game at the
camps that Supeman's rejection by the army stunned
the soldiers at Camp Edwards that three times
much coffee is consumed by the United States Marines
is consumed by civilians; that the armored forces
at Fort Knox Ky, have rolled up their sleeves and
tackled with all of its energy the job of building the
utramechanzed branch of the army to its authorized
strength and that the modern army horse has been
streamlined to keep pace with INFLAMMATION.
"The present wasteful publicity efforts accom-
pshng little than filling the wastebaskes In all
the daily newspaper Offices of the country"
That is something for the taxpayers of the United
States to consider seriously
TT IS further something that the administration should
look into and if the administration does not want to
disturb its political setting hens let Congress look into
the kind of eggs these hens laying-and what it
costs per egg.
When there is REAL NEWS from the various de-
partments in Washington to be given out to the nation
it should come whence ii always has in the past
heads
We are, Cranston Williams, general manager of
the A. ~ p. A. warns, going into paper shortage.
good place TO meet this threat would be right at
the desks of the wastefu and silly" publicity agencies
in Washington working day and night to tell the world
what wants to know.

Informed sources did not attach
great weight to LavaTs assertion
that, despite American support of
the British Madagascar action,
Vichy would not make a first move
toward rupture Of relations with the
United States. The important fact,
they said, was not Vichy's willing
ness or unwillingness to continue
formal relations, but Vichy's willing
ness to engage in warlike actions
against United Nations forces.
Carrier at Martinique.
At Martinique an aircraft carrier
the Bearn-and two cruisers are
at the disposal of the Vichy govern
ment. In the hands of a regime
vacillating between collaboration
with Germany and neutrality to-
ward the United States even such a
small force and its base of opera
tions so near the Panama Canal has
been a source of watchful anxiety
in Washington.
In the hands of government
actively engaged in fighting United
Nations forces, Martinique and the
forces stationed there take on new
and drastic significance. That is
why observers here expect a solu-
tion to the problem of Martinique
to be announced very soon.
Vichy, already frankly notified on
Monday that the United States will
not hesitate" to back the British
with force If necessary, was warned
again by Secretary Of State Hull
yesterday that American ships and
troops were ready.
Mr.. Hull did not disclose this Gov
ernment's intentions with regard to
French possessions in the Panama
Canal defense area. He told his
press conference merely that Mar
Unique was receiving attention along
with other phases of the French
situation and that this Government
would determine from day to day
what it would do to meet the erIier-
gency of the moment.

Battle on Madagascar
May Lead u. 5. TO Act
Against vichy Bases
Note Rejection Roises
Question Of Martinique,
GuudeIoupe, Guiono
BY WADE WERNER,
Associated Press Stan Writer.


The Vichy governments resistance
TO British occupation of Madagascar
was regarded In diplomatic circles
today as an act which might be
construed as hostile to the United
Nations and hence basis for a move
against vichy- controlled bases flank
ing the Panama Canal
The United States stood ready for
any Western Hemisphere repercus-
sions. but there was no official indi-
cation of what moves President
Roosevelt might order in support of
the British policy of selling French
military bases before the Axis has a
chance to grab them.
Chief Of Government Lavals sharp
rejection OF the American note back
ing Britain's Madagascar action,
coupled with Chief Of State Pc
tain's order to hight and Admiral
Darlan's vitriolic denunciation of
British highway robbery" ended any
expectation here that Vichy might
take the occupation of Madagascar
as philosophically as it took the
Japanese occupation OF French Indo-
China last year. 1t raised in acute
form the question of whether Vichy-
controlled bases in the Caribbean
area-Martinique, Guadeloupe and
French Guiana-could be allowed to
remain in Vichy hands.
Warlike Acts Ordered.
Diplomatic observers pointed to
that section Of the American note to
Vichy which warned that ANY war
IKE act permitted by the French
government against the government
OF Great Britain or of. the United
States would, of necessity, have to
Be regarded by the Government of
the United States as an attack on
the United Nations as a whole"

acts against the British landing
forces but has ordered them, and
ordered them with vehemence.
