THE CIVILIAN DEFENSE
CORPS WANTS YOU

1t is regrettable that every person can
not view first hand El Centro's fine civil
ian defense organization in full opera
tion. Men and women of all walks of
life have volunteered their services, as
sumed the tasks proudly and work hard
to perfect themselves for their duly ap-
pointed tasks.
From the girls recording reports on
the filter board and the first aders Civ
ing of their services, through the volun-
tary police, the block and sector wardens
and assistants, on up to those who have
the hard job of perfecting the whole or
ganization, everyone of the many hun
dreds is doing his and her part with
JOY and enthusiasm which springs from
sense of unselfish patriotism.
If more people could witness the pro
gram, call Corn Reed, or Herb Faw-
thing and the mucn-needed one hundred
additional workers would Immediately be
forthcoming to the pleasure and benefit
of everyone.
If you are not already part of this pro-
gram, call Mayor Hatton, or Herb Faw-

The American Federation OF
Labor has eleven affiliates large
enough to have cast at least 1000
votes each in the last convention
held in Ottawa in October of 1912
/ In order of size these we're the
TeamSterS, 5056 votes; the Carpen-
ters, 1867; the MachinistS, 1885;
the Common LaborerS. 1887; the
Hotel Workers, 2420; the Garment
Workers, 2250 the Electrical Work
ers, 2079; the Railway Clerks. 1853
the Painters. 1926; the Musicians
and the Retail Clerks, 1000 each.
OF these the TeamsterS, Carpen-
terS, Common Laborers, Electrical
Workers and Musicians have been
subjected to much criticism, which
is one reason why Congress is con-
Sidering bill to require that union
finances be made matter of
public records, accessible to the lay
membership and others.
So far as can be determined from
the index at the New York Public
Library there is no document there
which might contain financial data
from the electrical workers since
1925, from the carpenters since 1916,
from the teamsters since 1925.

EAST IS EAST
AND JAPS ARE JAPS
East is East and West is West,
And never the Twain shall meet

East Is East and est Is " est,
And never the Twain shall meet =.
So sang the poet Kipling, and so be-
lieves General J. L. Dewitt, commander
of the west coast defense area So. also
agrees Imperial Valleys Fathers OF
Fighters, who reflect pretty much the
opinion of the vast MAJ ajority of Imperial
Valley people.
This refers, of course to the proposal
that japanese be released from such
camps as Poston and permitted to return
to their homes or at least TO work in
the Pacific coast defense area. II was
strong opposition to such plan that
was registered by General Dewitt. And
rightly so.
We would not condone opposition on
grounds of war hatred or dislike Emo
tions alone solve few things. and this is
a case where Imperial Valley. which for
merly was home to SO many Japanese,
must surmount emotion and get down to
brass tacks. And brass tacks are pretty
pointed.
This Pacific coast has always feared
and anticipated war with Japan. Often
it was condemned as the home of war
mongers and unreasonable condemna-
tion of the Japs. History has shown
how we'll founded was this distrust of
Japan and, accordingly, the japanese
people.
No one wants to condemn all Japs
alike, the alien and the American-born;
the bad and the good. Congratulations are
usually all wrong and certainly are in
this case. Doubtless there are good and
bad among both the alien Japs and the
second generation Japanese.
We don't pretend to know how many
are sincerely pro-American and how
many are pro-Japan. That is the rub.
There may be a large percentage of good
ones but how can the one be distinguish
ed from the other?
Refugees from the Orient tell of many
American educated Japs in the japanese
army. We know that japanese manned
fishing fleets have skirted our coasts and
been emissaries and spies of the enemy.
In Hawaii, countless Japanese Americans
proved to be Saboteurs. In Alaska, they
were charting the ocean depths for infor
nation valuable to the japanese fleets.
There are some who say, you can't
trust any of them. There are others who
have known many second generation boys
and girls who appeared beyond the realm
of doubt.
But the fact remains, the reliable can
not be distinguished from the unreliable
and it is far wiser to hold all in check,
lest a single potential saboteur be re-
leased There is too much at stake.
We trusted once. Let's not be foolish
again

A monthly magazine of the Team
sters Union gives reports ON an
nual conventions and gatherings of
the General Executive Board
through September of 1910, but
there Is no mention of finances.
OF these five organizations which
have been under frequent attack.
only James Caesar Petrillo's musi-
clans publish an audited financial
accounting which has reached the
largest public library in the United
States other than the Congress
sional Library.
This is given in considerable de-
tail-almost in embarrassing detail
in some respects-though there are
lump sum statements which a good
investigator would want to have
broken down before he formed any
