the evacuees found to be loyal

CHILL DESIRES
The West Coast terror-tac-

some to return. The return Of
others is delayed because their
West Coast property is still un-

The Japanese in the WRA
camps are not to be confused
with the japanese tough guys in
a special camp for them at Tule
Lake, Calf. There are lo,UOO
Japanese and Japanese-A meri-
cans at Tule Lake.
That number includes not
only those found to be disloyal
but their wives and children.
Five thousand of them went to
be returned to Japan.
AS late as last December
these tough guys were, in Bid
dies own words, practically
running the camp, from the
point of view of expressing their
loyalty.
They were marching, they
were bowling to the Emperor,
they had bugle calls, they had
all of the performances. 1t was
just a little Japanese center"

Mrs. Warman Outlines National
Defense
as there need for a National De-
tense Program at this time ?" Ans
wering this question in her report
to the executive committee by out
lining the 1915 defense program,
Mrs. R. Elton Warman, chairman
of the national committee divided
the program into two groups.
The first groups activities are
those which make a contribution to
the winning of the war and to the
comforting of men and women in
service. Practical means to help
win the war will be the continued
buying of war bonds. Other de-
p%artments are aiding and will con-
tinue to do so in the recruitment
drives, particularly encouraging
nurses to volunteer.
In the second group of the 1915
program are activities which be-
long to a long time program and
which have as their detectives the
maintenance of a continuing pro
gram of adequate national defense.
The first in this division is to give
the Legion support on it's stand for
universal military training, to edu-
cate the public to the need of mil
itary training and to aid in the
passage of the bill. Districts and
departments should make plans for
national defense conferences to-
gether with other local groups.

invaded Laurel with some of the
finest athletes in Wyoming. Ac-
companying Bloom were Bill Roney
and Kenneth Meyer, two big husky
lads we'll over six feet who could
move right along with their classy
center. Bloom scored 16 points, all
by tip-ins directly under his basket
in the first half, and was the main
reason the Panthers were out in
front 80 to IL at half time. In the
second half Bloom and Roney sta.
toned themselves on either side of
the Laurel goal and took all re-
bounds away from their smaller OPP
ponents. Bloom tipped in three
more easy goals and added two
free throws in the second half to

BRITISH LEADER PLEADS FOR
FOUR FREEDOMS IN CONGRESS

Prime Minister Clement Attlee
warned the world Tuesday in an
address before a joint session OF
Congress. that mans material
discoveries have outpaced his NOR
al progress" and that true world
cooperation must be achieved if
civilization is to endure 'in the
Iight-the terrible light-of the
atomic bomb"
The British leader sketched
briefly the background of eco
nomic conditions in his nation
and told something of the aims
of his Labor Party in govern
mental affairs.
We are not always very well
informed on the politics of other
countries" he said. 1 doubt, in fact
whether very many British citi-
zens know the exact difference
between a Republican and a
Democrat. Yor have heard that
We are Socialists. but ! wonder
just what that means to you.
| think that some people over
here imagine that Socialists are
ort to destroy freedom. freedom
of the Individual, freedom of re-
ligion and freedom of the press.
They are wrong. The Labor par
ty is in the tradition of freedom
loving movements which have al
ways existed in our country; but
freedom has to be striven for in
every, generation, and those : who
threaten it are not always the
same. Sometimes the battle of
freedom has had to he fought
against Kings, sometimes against
religiC' : tyranny, M times
1Gainet the power of the owners
of the iand. sometimes against the
overwhelming strength of money
ed interests. We in the Labor
party declare that we are in line
with those who fought for Mag
ma Charta. and habeas corpus,
with the Pilgrim fathers and with
the signatories of the Declaration
of Independence.
Let me clear your mind with
regard to some OF these freedoms
that are thought to be in danger.
