SHOULD UNITED STATES
HOUSE WAR PRISONERS?

Ever since the arrival of contingents
of Italian war prisoners, (prior to the
collapse of italy, there have been we'll
founded objections to the practice of
shipping captured foes from the battle
fields of Europe and Africa Attempts
to assimlate these first prisoners in farm
and other jobs brought resentment and
criticism While there Is no disposition
on the part of anyone who thinks
straight to bemean the prisoners or mis-
treat them. there was pertinent lnqulr-
les about the ultra-treatment of the con-
quered foe.
The first domiciles constructed for
these prisoners were far better quarters
than many of the men and women labor
ing in the fields and factories could af-
ford and likewise the food was far bet
ter and more plentiful in the prison
camps than in these American workers
homes. And many who profeSSed full
knowledge of the labor situation were
highly critical of the policy of making
the prisoners competitive wOrkmen.
There has been no change in attitude
from the start on the policy of bringing
these prisoners such a long distance no
matter if they are captives of L. 5.
forces. A logical criticism, if no other.
has to do with the expense. And 1t fur
thermore is argued that prisoners should
be compelled to help build Notifications
and the like on the battlefronts and
wherever they could be used where they
are captured.
If the practice is to be continued and
great numbers of prisoners are to be
shipped to this country, then the best
thing that can happen is for the war to
end at once. There isn't much sentiment
in the ranks for coddling Of these axis
ex-fighters, nor for the most part are
they the type that could be assimilated
even under peace time immigration. Many
fear that wnen the war ends we shall be
left with these prisoners as permanent
liability, just as it well can happen IN
the case of sending refugees to America
when there are plenty ways to care for
them in. or near their native lands.
In the change from war to peace we
shall have enough of problem to get
into gear and stay in gear without hav-
ing this added problem on our hands.
Here is one instance where few will OBJ
iect to spending money to share our part
with refugees and prisoners II they Will
