able sir, II you come after me, III attend
to you wherever you strike?
Listen to men like Blamey and Mac
Arthur. They are simple men, they can
say what they think and prove it. They
have nothing to gain by deception every
thing by telling the truth. They are
soldiers.
You reach some pretty fundamental
conclusions when you sit in slit trench
under fight of Japs.
1.-TWO hypothesis indeed! Let me say
that there can only be one entertained by
men who have been there. We're up
against it, and it's bad. So listen care
fully to those sterling gentlemen down

Text Of EmperOr's Penalty
For Breaking Food Law Quoted.

To the Editor Of the Star:
In recent editorial you referred to
"Diocletian's Edict on Maximum Prices"
Some excerpts you have published seem
to be very timely. I only am sorry that
you omitted one part of the edict which
deals with punishment Of violation and
which should not be less timely. 1t reads
as follows:
"Since It is agreed that even In the
time Of our ancestors 1t was customary In
passing laws to restrain insolence by at
taching = prescribed penalty, 1t Is our
pleasure that any one who shall have
resisted the form of this statute shall for
his daring be subject to capital penalty.
To the same penalty, however, is he sub
ject who In the desire to buy shall have
conspired against the statute with the
Greed Of the sellers"

Argues That Dependents
Should Include Brothers and Sisters.

Argues AHdC DepcNOenLS
Should Include Brothers and Sisters.
To the Editor Of The Star:
In defining the new draft classification
Sd, the Selective Service System has
stated that the class would be limited
to cases of extreme hardship to a wife,
child Or parent with whom the registrant
maintains bona fide family relationship
in the same home.
In the accompanying question-and-
answer information the Selective Service
System made no statement to evidence
the reason for exclusion of cases of
extreme hardship to brother or sister.
Nor did 1t make any statement to evi-
dence the reason for exclusion of cases
of any invalid dependent being main
tanned in a medical institution by the
registrant.
brother or sister receives the stupen-
dous allowance of IS month from the
Servicemen's Dependents Allowance and
Allotment Act. When that act was be-
fore the House of Representatives Gen.
Hershey testified that the Selective Serv-
ice System expected to defer registrants
whose induction would cause extreme
hardship to dependents, and it reason
ably may be assumed that one of the
reasons for the miserable size of the al
lowances was his statement. In testify
Ing, Gen. Hershey did not specify that
he was not considering invalid brothers
and sisters nor did he specify that he
was not considering dependents main
tanned in medical institutions. He merely
used the general term dependents"
What justification has the Selective
Service System for It's exclusion of BROTH
ers and sisters and OF dependents main
tanned in medical institutions? w.
