We BELIEVE HER

There has been a disposition among
many commentators and writer's and
critics to give the laugh to Mrs. Roosevelt
over her declaration that the nomination
of her husband for fourth term was 'as
much a surprise to her as to everybody
else'' and that "he never told me word
about it
We think the First Lady is entitled to
break and that she was not fibbing or
struggling off the query when put to her
recently when she was on the coast.
In the first place, no doubt, the presi-
dent probably took it for granted that
she knew, as everybody else knew, that
he would accept the non-partisan nomi-
nation and that there was no need to say
anything about it to her.
Then, in the second place, even if he
had wanted to confide in her he would
have had to hunt up her intinerary in or
der to pass along the news.
But after all, what difference does it
make whether he told her or not?

STATE GUARD NEEDS
PATRIOTIC VOLUNTEERS
CLOS Angeles Times)

The danger of japanese sneak at
temptS to destroy California war plants
or to terrify whole communities by at
tackS upon civilians has not been re-
moved by the triumphS of American arms
in the Pacific, in the opinion of military
experts who understand Jap mental pro-
cesses They say that Tokyo's war.lords,
in their present desperation. might very
conceivably elect to send suicide task
forces in submarines to do all the damage
they could on our shores, not only with
the mistaken idea of upsetting our NOR
ale, but in a spirit of revenge. They are
so convinced of it, indeed that they are
urgently advising that additional precau-
tons be taken in Pacific Coast States to
deal with sucn attacks if they come.
They naturally have in mind also defense
against possible enemy activities within
the country
In Southern California, Col. John c.
French, commander of State Guard
Troops for the 9th Region, is appealing
to men between the ages of 18 and Ga who
are not in the armed services to volunteer
for those units of this home defense or
ganizatiOn in which they most convent
emily can serve. Necessary arms will be
provided to those accepted. Requirements
are not eAacting. ltalnlng Is confined TO
one night a week. The Importance of the
State Guard is not to be overestimated
now that the California National Guard
has been mustered into regular war serv-
ice and the ranks in the Federal camps
are being constantly thinned of men for
front-line action. State Guardsmen of
course, are enrolled only for the period of
the emergency.
Ample protection against enemy terror
istic moves could well mean the difference
between a shocking Jap horror raid and
an abortive attempt in which the frenzied
Nips would have all the worst of it.
Southern Californians should lose no
time in building up the Guard to its full
strength.

HOW RICH A TRADITION

pasadena Star-News) . -. -. 80. =.
How rich the tradition which makes
newspapers more than so many sheets of
white paper on which words have been
printed.
This newspaper, for instance, is far
more than the sum total of the men and
women who comprise its present staff.
1t is Charles H. Prisk, Judge Pryor,
Lon Chaplin, Jim Foley, A. J. Hosking,
Harlan Hall. 1t is Charley Paddock
with all he meant and all he stood for. 1t
is all the other good men and true who,
through the long years, have fed their
minds, their hearts and their courage
through its presses.
Such is the challenge, and the dedica-
ton, of newspapers living tradition
as each new issue moves out across the
city, determined to be worthy of the re-
spect, and true to the integrity of the COM
munity it has the honor to serve
These are the thoughts which silently
recur this week as banner lines bang out
stories of surprising progress against
Germany, of surprising progress against
Japan. For just one year ago the Star
News published, for it, the saddest of
headaches; that Capt. Charles W. Pad
dock, had given his life with his general,
on duty near Sitka, Alaska

newspapers more than white paper on

HOW SHALL WE DISPOSE
OF WAR CRIMINALS?

If there is one thing more than any
ether lalulated to raise the morale OF
the fighting FORCES OF the United Nations
and the civilians, too, it is an agreement
right now among the allied nations lead
ers on the disposition OF the principal war
criminals, starting off with Hitler ana
Hirohito. And in this matter the Unted
Nations will do well to determine what
shall be done should the axis leaders at
tempt to take refuge in a neutral nation
or if they should throw themselves upon
the mercy of the victors.
The list of criminals is long. Many
and varied suggestions as to punishment
have been preached. SO much so that
publication has offered prizes for the
best all around suggestions.
The editor of a Honolulu newspaper
minces no words, nor does he use many
words in a demand as to what shall be
done with the Rising Sun emperor. just
two words-"eXecute him"
For the opportunities given, it must be
agreed, that the Japs have gone further
in atrocities toward captured enemies
than the German killers, and that is say
ing lot. Jap atrocities have been by
sporadi reports of the execution OF al
lied filters who have been forced to land
their planes or bail out. Some of these
reports vet are to be verified.
The latest from Tokyo, with substantial
documentary support, is that all cap
tured foes on Japan-held soil or the home
land shall be considered as spies and sum-
marily executed. Thus the Emperor IS
making his own international rules OF
warfare and places himself and all his
leaders beyond the pale of civilized treat
ment.
There is pressing need for a declara-
ton by the United Naticns on this whole
subject Even the most conservative
and pessimistic observers now agree that
the war may come to an end soon and
suddenly. There must be some special
tribunal set up to try these criminals IN as
orderly fashion as possible. There must
be no cooling off period before these muir
derers are brought to justice. Passion
must not rule. nor hatred sway the scales
of justice, neither can there be any sob
stuff in connection with their trial and
sentences.
In the entire history of wars, dating
back to the stone age, has there been the
unrastrained murder and atrocities prac-
ticed as by the axis in this global war.
Even wars before the dawn of civiliZa-
ton" are not excepted.
There must be justice-there must be
no pity
