TO THE EDITOR:
WHY all this fuss about
W drafting fathers? Why
shouldn't they fight in this
war? Is it not TO protect our
women and children that we
are in this struggle to begin
with? Then why should the
single men fight to protect an
other mans responsibilities?
A father certainly wouldn't
stop strange young man on
the street and ask him to feed
and clothe his children. Then
why should that same young
man do all the fighting to pro-
tect those children. while cry
ing wives complain because
there are a few single men not
in service? Are these COM
planning women thinking of
their children or themselves.
AS far AS children are con-
cerned. their young minds don't
yet realize the horrors of war,
and they feel no worry when
their dad goes into the service
of his country; in fact they are
very proud. as well they should

against whom there Is no record OF disloyaIty,
and 10 grant such virtual freedom OF
movement in the country.
THAT is the Personal policy of President
Roosevelt
1t has resulted in the humilating situation at
Tule Lake.
But far worse il is responsible for the fact
that the United States has for nearly two years
failed TO make effective war against Japan and
is even NOW unable to make effective war
against Japan
AS every American military authority knows,
and as the majority of the American people are
now beginning 10 realize. our Japanese policy is
to attempt to conduct the war with Japan as II
were not really at war with Japan at all
We are fully at war in Europe but ONLY in
Europe.
The Roosevelt administration is unSparingly
committed 10 winning the war in Europe, for the
benefit of our European Allies, and is winning 1t.
But, after il has won the European war, If 1t
persists in its ignorance about Japan and the
Japanese II writ let Japan Steal The Pacific Ocean
and forever menace the Pacific Coast of the
American continent.
THE Roosevelt administration should be COM
PEELED TO have more concern about the men
ace TO the United States in the Pacific.
It has always been an Atlantic administration
An East Coast adminiStraton-in politics and
in economics, and has never given consideration
TO the interests and welfare of the western half
of the American nation.
But, in which gives Japan the oppor
tunity to attack and invade the Pacific Coast of
the United States, the Roosevelt administration
should be more astute-not a matter of poll
tics, but Of patriotism.
The American forces under Gen Macarthur
are nadequatey supplied because of the Roose-
welt policy toward Japan.
We are not really at war with Japan in the
Pacifc-although Japan is most theoretically
and powerfully and ruthessly at war WITH Us
because of his policy.
We will never DEFEAT Japan. we will never
safeguard our country until we have an ANIERI-
CAN policy of complete and decisive against
the ambitious and aggressive Japanese nation.

typical American boys,
Who have, as yet, hardly begun to
breathe the real breath of life
For which their mothers bore them,
And who have just been suddenly torn
from their homes,
And with it, all that is dear to them,
By force governmental (exemplifed
also by urbane senators),
And with deadly weapons of war
thrust into their untried hands,
And under stern military direction,
Are undergoing the unique experience
Of having their Clean healthy, young
bodies
Blown to bloody bits
In fierce conflict with savage foes
In nearly every corner of the inhabited
world.

Nationalist and isolationist senators, Of
intelligence and mature years,
Of experience with life and high sta
ton,
Arguing in elegant phrases and grace
full gesticulations,
Offering their personal animadversons
On world disagreements and compllca-
tons and such;
While these earnest youths from the
homes of all America,
Who had never yet had chance to
live,
And who, now, never will have,
Are being violently hurled to tragic,
terrible deaths on every continent.
Think of it. if you cam think of it!
Men, of digniied maturity and ap-
parent erudition, consume hours,
With poise and elaboration coming
agile. virile phrases and sentences,
Composite of nouns, pronouns, verbs,
adverbs, propositions, and Fluctuations,
In selected and sonorous order and
sequence.
Meanwhile
These ardent Young Americans
Who were just beginning to know life
and love 1t,
Ruthlessly plunged to their swift, un-
wanted destruction
In the steaming fetid jungle wilds of
the thousands of south Pacific islands;
Or on the parched desert sands or
barren hills of Africa;
Or in the unbelievably frgid, penetrat-
ing mists and fogs of the heartless Arctic
wastes;
Or dying amid the~snew- and ice of
northern oceans;
Or in shark-infested waters of the
deadly tropics;
Or, if especially singled out by i'll
fortune,
Cremated in towering waves of flam-
ing oil on the surface of violent seas,
Their oil-soaked clothes afre.
Soaring flames. leaping to their faces
and down open throats;
Where mere drowning death is most
merciful;
Or else, in shattered planes roasted,
in flames of high octane,
Miles above the earth,
Their torn, bleeding bodies still con-
scious, falling down. down;
Finally crushed in charred, shapeless
mass,
Not ever to be recognized or even seen
again,
On unknown terrain, of which they, in
their immaturity had perhaps, never
heard
Or slowly suffocating to a desperate,
miserable death
With a small group of fellows, already
cofined alive
In the close, dark chamber Of a fat
stricken, doomed submarine,
