EXCLUDE THEM ALL

Imperial Valley should welcome the
announcement by 1t. Gen. Delos G. En-
mons, commander of the western defense
zone, that civilians of japanese ancestry
shall remain excluded from the evacuat-
ed areas on or near the west coast. But
the announcement is not inclusive en-
ough;
According to Emmons cert in Japanese
will be permitted to return if they have
the approval of the war department This
would indicate that soldiers of japanese
ancestry who were inducted into the
United States army will be allowed to
return on furlough.
This statement has been corroborated
by recent happenings here in Imperial
Valley. Within the past two weeks three
japanese in u. S. army uniforms We're
stopped for questioning by Sherlff'S Off
GERS and were advised to leave the valley
for their own safety. They told the Off
GERS that they had come to the valley by
way of Los Angeles and had not been mo-
Tested or even apprehended.
We cannot understand the attitude of
government officials in this matter. Sure
" they cannot be so simple as to believe
that mere change of clothing will make
one japanese different from another
Before the war there were many Japa-
nese youths inducted into our armed
forces The chances are that they were
Just as loyal or disloyal to their adopted
country as were the japanese who did
not enter service.
The vital coast areas should be barred
to all japanese. in uniform or not
We're in war for our very existence
and must no take any foolish or unneces-
sary chances.

There was a fine exhibition hung

They are going to be shipped home

show what ingenuity has been de-

Some of them are by artists of

painted before. The work is alive
and very colorful, though the
paints were just what could be
found around camp, or mixed from
curious ingredients probably not
usually bought as artist materials.

We breakfasted at the Red Cross

a couple of hours by plane brought
us here to Brisbane. We had time
before lunch to unpaek and I ar
ranged to get some washing and
pressing done. We have been on
some dusty trips and they play
havoc with white shirts. I even had
time to change from a thin uni
form to a heavier one. for have
no desre to find myself catching
cold. Coming south here, means
coming to cooler weather.
We lunched at Government
House with Sir Leslie and Lady
wilson One is conscious of the
great sacrifice which the British
people have made in the war when
ever one talks to any of their pub
lie servants. They have had to
spend so many more years than
usual without going home for visit.
They have been separated from
them have lost close relatives in
the war. There is never COM
plant, but, nevertheless, the Sacri-
fices and sorrows leave their mark.
HEROIC NURSE
Immediately before lunch, we
visited an army hospital where I
met Miss Villa Hook, who served in
Bataan and on Corregidor She has
been twice cited by General Mac
Arthur and once by the President
but she asked not to go home from
here when the other nurses went,
for she wished to be near enough
to be among the first to go back to
Manila. l am sure all these nurses
who left friends in hospitals, where
they have since become prisoners
of the Japanese. are constantly
haunted by fears for them and hope
against hope that they will receive
better treatment than has been
meted out. to other prisoners. IS
In this hospital I found q young
officer, Captain John Van Ben
schoten. who said he was a neigh
Dor from Poughkeepsie. He is for
tunately recovering. and seemed to
be in very good spirits. In quick
succession we visited navy group,

There I was told of appendix op-
erations done at sea by pharmacists
mates, who used kitchen knives and
spoons for instruments, and still
not one of the operations had
caused death
Then we went to Red Cross
center, which was really very at
tractive 1t seemed to be in ade~
uuate quarters. though they were
looking for more space. At 400
o'clock we arrived at the town hall,
where I had an opportunity to
meet the heads of the relief and
patriotic organizations. as l have
done in other cities.
Their welcome, like that of the
people in the streets, was very
cordial and reflected what good
ambassadors our men have been
over here.

Hard Coal Operators
And Miners Resume
Contract Talks Today

Resumption of conferences between
the contract negotiating committees
of the anthracite coal operators and
the United Mine Workers was an
nounced today as the UNIV Policy
Committee prepared to convene for
the first time since truce sent
miners back into Government
operated mines.
John Van Urk, spokesman for the
operators, said John L. Louis, presi-
dent Of the UNIV, was expected to
sit in on the meeting of the two
negotiating committees, to be held
at UNIV headquarters after Mr.
Lewis addresses the unions policy
group.
Mr.. Van Urk said he did not know
what significance could be attached
to the meeting but that there are
rumors Mr.. Lewis has reached a
wage agreement with Illinois btu
i1linous operators and that the terms
of the agreement might be outlined
to the unions policy group as well
as to the Negotiating Committees
of the miners and anthracite opera
tors.
The Policy Committee meeting
was set for 2:30 pm. and the nego-
tiating conferees session about
pm.
Tobin Committee to Meet.
Meanwhile, it was reported that
Mr.. Lewis will meet here tomorrow
with the committee from the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. which was
appointed to pass on the mine work.
ers' application for readmission to
the Federation.
This special committee is headed
by Daniel J. Tobin, president of the
Teamsters' Union, and includes also
Matthew Vol. president of the
Photo Engravers, and George NJ
Harrison. president of the Railway
Clerks unions.
The conclusions of the committee
will be submitted to the Federation's
Executive Council in Chicago Au-
gust 9, when final action on the ap-
plication is expected to be taken.
The Mine Workers withdrew from
the Federation seven years ago,
when Mr.. Lewis established the Con-
gress of Industrial Organizations.
They broke away from the CIO last
year and recently asked for REIN
statement to the AFL.
Mines Return Probable Topic.
Concerning the Policy Committee
meeting, all that a spokesman for the
union would say is that the COM
mittee will be presented with all
the developments up to date" Sure
to occupy top place on the agenda,
however, is discussion of what stand
the union should take If and when
the Government turns the seized
mines back to private manage
ment.
President Roosevelt told his press
conference last week that the mines
would be returned to the private
operators go days after they we're
seized If they have returned to nor
NAL production. as provided by the
recently enacted Connally-S Smith
antistrike bill,
But, in instructing the men last
month to return to the mines until
October 81, Mr.. Lewis and the Policy
Committee stipulated that the back
to-work arrangement would AUTO
matically terminate should the
Government cease operating the
mines.
The United Mine Workers Jour-
nal laid the question before the
miners over the week end by ask
ing: How long will the Govern
ment operate the mines? Will the
UMWA continue to man the mines
without contract in the event the
mines are returned to the owners?"
