THE PROBLEM OF The
JAPANESE EVACUEES

One of the weakest sectors of the domes-
tic war front, is the disposition of japanese
evacueeS. Long subject of discussion and
controversy, it still remains apparently un-
solved.
Announcement by War Relocation Direc-
tor Dillon S. Myer that plans are afoot to
segregate the loyal from the disloyal is
move in the right direction, but it still
doesn't solve the whole problem and only
seems to produce new problems.
Basically, there is the matter of liberating
the loyal from the influences of the dis
loyal; and secondly of using the manpower
represented by all these people.
No ways have been evolved for not only
enabling them to support themselves, but
also for producing toward the war effort
over ana beyond self-support and cost of
supervision. Since there are some 100000
of these people within our gates they rep
resent a big manpower potential.
In the segregation process, which Mr..
Myer would not describe, there will be the
difficulties of effectively separating the
sheep from the goats, the disloyal (whether
, alien or second generation) from those who
are completely patriotic to this country.
. Families must be severed, the enemy-sym-
pathizer parent from the American-sym-
pathzer citizen. All aliens probably are
not necessary pro-Japan and this cOuntryS
own experience is proof positive that all
Japanese-Americans are not prO-America.
1t would seem wise for the WRA to make
a plan, present it to the congressional COM
mittees and Cthers most interested-such as
the Pacific Coast states representatives and
the California District Attorneys associa-
ton, achieve generally satisfactory pro-
gram with most weaknesses corrected, and
then put the plan into operation.
It's hard to get many people to agree on
anything, but WRA bureaucratic operation
has resulted with non-productivity dis
satisfaction, accusation or inefficiency and
bungling, opposition of army and civilian,
and an effort to achieve an open plan open
ly arrived at can't be bit worse than what
has preceded

Writes:

Harold Ic.eS in his split person.
ality role as War Cual Administra-
tor, gave a perfect illustration how
not to do things when he slapped
fine onto striking miners and then
had to cancel his action.
Either the strikers were violat-
ing a holdover contract or they
weren't. If they were, theoretic-
ally, Mr. Ickes was obliged to fine
them 81 for every day they were
on strike and, in theory, he can
not now lift that fine by wave
of his hand.
But apparently there was a big
question whether the contract still
was in effect or whether the men
were working without any contract,
under a sort of common law con-
sent agreement, in spite OF John l..
Lewis boasts that miners never
trespass on employers properties
without contract.
Moreover, there being at least a
ItdSOIldDlc uOuJI, ilobo0J 6oih6
to enforce against Mr.. Ickes or
against his principal, the United
States of America, as mine opera
tors the penalty clause contained in
the contract that was or was not
in force-maybe, perhaps, and
wouldn't you like to know?
ANY child in a playground could
have forecast that the attempt to
levy a fine would arouse the min
ers out of all proportion to the
small amount of money involved.
1t was a gesture akin to splitting on
a mans shoes when he knows, ana
YOU know, that he ought to be
knocked down and tied with strong
rope to make him behave.
An administration that had prov
EN- itself incapable of protecting the
rights of our fighting men by keep
ing coal production going so that
war industries need not be slowed
down, got fought in the sort OF
petty way that bruises sensitive
feelings without settling anything
That constitutes a frank admis-
sion that the United States OF
America can't handle bettle-broWed
John Lewis and is driven to relieV-
ing its feelings by thlmbing It's
nose at its enemy.
OF all the evidences that TINS
country needs a new approach u
the problem of handling strikes IN
vital war industries, this one tooS
the cake.

operations, informants said the next
two on three days may bring some
anxiety due to the possibility of
serious counterattacks by Axis mo-
bile forces still concentrated in the
center of the island
The first counterattacks were ex-
pected to develop from the north
and northwest on United States
troops in the Gela-Licata area and
southwark along the east coast from
Catania toward Syracuse.
Anglo-Canadian troops in the
southeast in the Cape Passero area
were believed less vulnerable to at
tack from inland because the high
mountains to the northwest in the
direction of RaguSa would hamper
Axis mobile forces.
Observers believed the Allies first
would strike north toward Catania
and Messlna in an attempt to gain
firm control of the eastern coast
line and cut off Sicily from easy
reinforcement across Messina Strait
from the Italian mainland.
This would have the further ad-
vantage of giving the Allies a num-
Der OF good ports such as Catania

their guests being several men and
women who for nearly 80 years have
met at each others homes for social
evening and the discussion of new
books. Having weathered the busy
days of the First World War, the
group decided to continue their
monthly parties, even with their
crowded schedule of Red Cross work,
home defense service and other ac-
tivities of this war. Records of
their meetings form an anthology
of the best literature of the past
quarter of century, and the old
book reviews are often passed around
to refresh the memory of some par
ticularly enjoyed books. Tomorrow
evening, Mrs. Albert Lester will re-
view "a Tree That Grew in Brook
lyn," by Betty Smith.
Nearly half the present member
ship was in the original club, and
because the addition of new people
has been so gradual, it is regarded
as one of the most congenial social
groups in Falls Church. Mr.. and
Mrs. Stebner's guests tomorrow will
be Mr. and Mrs. j. L. Harrison, Mr..
Harry Borgstadt, DR. Henry Knowles,
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Lester, Mrs.
