MUST REQUEST
MEXICAN LABOR

Mexican nationals will again
be available for general farm
work this spring and summer,
1t was announced this week,
and farmers and ranchers who
wish to employ them must SUBJ
init their requests at once, John
Il. Hopperstad, assistant farm
labor program supervisor for
the VITA, stated.
Recent meetings and discus
sions have established the fact
that the Mexicans will he sent
here again, he said.
Requests for workers should
be filed at the Big Horn county
extension office on or before
Monday, Feb. 26, as an order
for the workers wanted will be
made up and sent in on that
date. No workers will be brought
In who have not been certified
for, and farmers are cautioned
not to depend on surplus or
leftover workers., as there will
be none.
The workers applied tor at
this time are to be used in
conjunction with and in addi-
ton to the regular beet labor.
Farmers who intend to use
Mexicans only in ibeets for
thinning and topping need not
make application, as these
workers will be spoken for
through the Holly Sugar corp
oration's factory here.
A serious shortage of general
farm labor seems most probable
this summer, MIR. Hopperstad
pointed out, so farmers and
ranchers are urged to give the
matter OF using the imported
Mexican nationals close atten-
ton.

Fierce Japanese resistance
Wednesday on Two Jima almost
stopped advances of the 10000
Marines battling to secure the
strategic island. The Leather

main objective, the big Motoyama
bomber airfield. The Fourth
division, which invaded the

by the Third Marine division.
Casualties were very heavy,
with probably more than $500
casualties up to noon Wednes-

on Bataan and that the Cor

measuring about TOO by SOC

OF all the social problems
that face our country in this

were possible under such condi-

And the core of that civiliza-

sacred dignity of the human

group tensions are increasing to
an alarming degree. Men and
women should know better -
who do know better - allow
themselves to mouth the catch
phrases of anti-Semitism and
anti-foreignism, of anti-business
or anti-labor, anti-farm. Most OF
them are not themselves aware
that they have been infected by
the virus of intolerance which
already has the whole world
writing in the fever Of the war.
When there's a riot in Detroit
or Harlem, when racial antagon-
isms break into the open in Bos-
ton or Brooklyn, it's more COM
Portable to shrug them off as To-
cal incidents. But the truth must
be faced. These episodes of vio-
lence are symptoms of pressures
and emotions and maladjuT-

The first thing we must do is
to confront the reality. Obvious
ly the most violent and deep
seated of our antipathies are rae

ough these expressions of
group hatred are, 1t is hopeful
fact that they still afflict only a
small minority of the American
population. That minority can be
curbed and re-educated if con-
scious and organized efforts are
undertaken.
DESTRUCTIVE POLICY
At the very worst, that minor
ity can be frightened into desist-
ing. Not by legal or physical
threats-you can't legislate love
of ones neighbor. Americans
can be made sharply aware that
intolerance endangers not mere
ly the small groups against
whom it is directed but the
country as a whole. The obstrep-
