Sixty Americans issued a Stat

Sixty Amer1canS issued state ment urging America to cease bombing Jap cities. They claim to be humanitarians and probably are sincere. But sincerity is not sub stitute for logic and realism '. Their naivete is astounding. It is clear that you cannot accord hu- mane treatment to those who will reciprocate with bestial acts. It is llleer stupidity. Bombings will short CT the war. A shorter war means fewer Americans will be killed or starved, tortured and beheaded in Jap prisons. Surely the saving of American lives is more humane than saving the lives of Japs, who start e6 the war -. Some of the state ment signers are religious leaders. They wouldn't live long in Japan where Japs boastfully admit they beheaded missionaries AS for their insistence that we accord Ja- pan negotiated peace-remember we were negotiating peace with Japan when they attacked P. H.!

 The Supreme Court acquitted "A leaders of the Nazi Bund convicted in lower court of interfering with the draft. Justice Roberts major ity opinion stated that the Bund- ists always favored compulsory Selective Service Act, even though they did not wish a draft army to fight with England and Germany" With all due respect to the High Court, this is to report that Justice Roberts opinion is not based on facts. The Bund always opposed the Selective Service Act. They issued reams fo propaganda against the draft when the Selec- tive Service Act was being debated in Congress. They never ceased opposing all defense measures which includes the draft We urge Justice Roberts to read the editorials in the defunct Bund news papers on that subject. It proves the BundistS were anti-Selective Service!
