Senator Murray Urges
5 to 1 Trade

Senator James E. Murray of
Montana has suggested to Secre-
tary of State CordelI Hull that
! American civilians now being
held in japan be exchanged at
the ratio of one American for
five Japanese. Senator Murray
declared that a ratio of FIVE to
one was a proper appraisal of the
worth of the two peoples and
that such an exchange would
solve dual purpose of relieving
this nation o f the expense of
maintaining Japanese nationals
in concentration camps and of re
turning American citizens to
their homes.
Press dispatches have quoted
t h Imperial Japanese Govern
ment as saying that they would
only surrender American civilians
on the basis of one American for
IS Japanese, Senator Murray
said. This is proper ratio of
the value of the two peoples. l
do not believe anv American
would complain at returning five
Japanese to their island home for
every American that can be
brought back to this country.
II do not know how many hun
dreds of Americans are being
subjected to the cruel and inhu-
ma n treatment t h e Japanese
h a ve accorded to unfortunates
taken into custody after the de
claration of war. l do know. how.

Bethel Young Peoples cabinet in
session TO consider the Bill As,
"What Do Our Four Freedoms
Mean" in the second in a series
OF discussions on this pertinent
topic.
The discussion took the form OF
panel led by Jesse Owens on Free
dom of Speech" In the course Of
his remarks Mr.. Owens defined
freedom of speech as the right to
say anything on any public ques-
ton OF the day without fear Of
punishment" He reviewed the at
titude that has been taken on the
question of free speech and the
press through the years, and said
that this freedom must be jealous
" guarded lest, il we allow it to
be taken from any-whether we
agree with them or Motive be in
danger OF losing it ourselves.
Freedom from Want
The second speaker was Miss
Mildred Raskin of the Metropolitan
Detroit Youth council. who spoke on
Freedom from Want" She pre-
ecribed as III first prerequisite OF
this condition, job with a living
wage. She acclaimed that the
other three freedoms are pretty
generally accepted as being neces-
sary and fairly widely enjoyed. but
that we do not have freedom from
want. She pointed to the FEPC as
. step in the right direction but
that il must be able TO work effec-
lively. Her concluding thought was.
besides talking abou. the needs that
we must press for legislative meas
ures TO ensure that these needs be
satisfied
P Rosemond Davis. in his brief
remarks on Freedom from Fear"
declared that the highest thing that
he could envision was 10 do some
thing with the masses Of the people,
as Rev. Peck proposes He said
that If we would be rid Of fear we
must destroy II by king several

member two generations back

cannot be isolated.
Afte- the reading OF the rules

The Rules committee, and The read
ing of the Bill IS in full by Miss

Rev Peck remarked briefly, during
which remarks he disclosed a plan
Of the ministers Of the churches on
Frederick. Kirby. Palmer and Ferry
10 organize block organizations 10
learn the people who live in the
community The larger plan is to
build united community in the
reig hborhood OF these churches in
which all the members OF the COM
nunity will know one another. thus
eliminating frst-fear OF each other.
The final portion OF the meeting
was turned over for questions from
the floor and discussion by men,
