There is nothing harder to do
than to take up an old relationship
or an old way of life where we laid

conditions change without our RI al

the homecoming of many service

looked forward to-
The soldiers dream of finding
upon his return everything at home

grown out of their babyhood, the
cottage of which he was so proue

NO JAP SCHOOLS

Not even the Japanese, who are sincere
in their desire to be good American citi-
zens, will find plausible objection to the

state superintendent Of public instruc-
ton, against the establishment OF Jap
anese-languaga schools in California,
Study of a foreign language as Incl

is quite another when those seeking the
rights and privileges of citizenship place
major school emphasis. on tongue for

of the Japs is one of the things that
makes it difficult and risky for Americans
to distinguish between the Jap who may

I Riseto

BY Congressman John Phillips

Few things have encouraged me
50 much as two brief displays of
! courage on the part cf congress III
the last days OF the old session and
the first day CT the new. Congress
is the last and only hope of the peo-
pie if We are to keep representative
governm ent in this country.
In the new congress, Immediately
after its organization, a resolution
was introduced to make the commit
tee en- un-Ameriean activities a
standing committee 1t has been a
special committee. The battle was
on.
This is the committee familiarly
known as the Dies committee" and
perhaps one of its handicaps has
ben its identification so strongly
with a chairman who as an indi-
vidual had such "extrovertian" quail
ties.
AT the moment, the urgency was
to protect its records. Despite all
the propaganda against the commit
tee, built up by the left-wing, and a
few more sincere men and women
who had never made any personal
inquiry into the facts, the committee
has done a genuinely worthwhile
job. 1t has made over ten thousand
investigations CT men and women
in government service, or who want
ed to. be there, who were said to
have un-American interests. Some
charges were confirmed, some were
cleared. The state department. the
FBI and other agencies have asked
for more than 5000 confidential re-
ports. The reccl DIS of the committee
are priceless and could not be du-
plicated.
The committee fought ccm-
munism, fascism, all the other
''isms." It is no wonder that the
"commies" were actively "agin it!"
It is also understandable that there
are people who would give their
right eyes to destroy scme OF the
records. These have literally had to
be kept under police protection,
night and day, since the end of the
last session, and prior to a decision
regarding a new committee.
The resolution, in spite of streng
administration oppos sition, was
adopted 2O7 to 1856, with Al not vot-
ing CT abs Mt. I think it was sig
nificant vote. This was the only way
to insure the safety of the records;
this was a vote for or against the
effort of the congress to
protect this country frcm the skill
full end persist Mt inroads Of the
"isms" which have eventually de-
stroyed other nations.
The ether spark of courage will
have to brighten the column next

UNIVERSAL PRAISE GIVEN
YANKS AS BEST FIGHTERS

From prejudiced and unprejudiced
quarters come the unequivocal declara-
tions that the Americans are the best
fighters on any and all battlefronts, on
land, sea or in the air. If there is any
special tribute it is to the men fighting
on foot-the men who are pushing the
Germans back from Belgium and Luxem-
bourg by main force.
Since there must be excellence in war
as well as in peace, it is another star in
the American crown of achievement that
the millions of young men so recently
drawn from the ordinary and peaceful
walks Of life, are winning such renown.
II one must be warrior. it is something
to be proud of that one is the best.
But there is much more to i. than just
the matter of winning praise. Victory
viii be Mastered because the Yanks are
ihe best fighters. Victory and glory
come to the best fighting armies In this
war peace will be the real prize for ex-
cellency.
But of as great moment in this new
test of prowess is the fact that hence
forth the world will be more inclined to
with this new and impressive knowledge
that the best fighters in the world will be
standing guard over the peace of the
world ana that years Of training are not
necessary to reassemble just such another
fighting host-a host of millions.
