intolerance Again
From the Milwaukee Journal.

What kind of Americanism is 1t for the
city OF Gardena to omit from its honor
roll OF citizens the names of II japanese
Americans in the service of our common
country? What kind of Americanism
is 1t for the American Legion to revoke
the charters of two posts made up OF
Japanese American veterans of the first
World War? What kind of Americana
ism is it for the Legion in Portland,
Greg, to protest the efforts of local
citizens to provide some volunteer care
for Japanese cemetery?
The attitude expressed in these actions
is disheartening sign that We have q
long way to 60 to achieve the kind Of
tolerance and democracy we night for.

There are a number of authors Of
distinction now turning out litera-
ture which deserves to be called
realistic. But our grandfathers were
not entirely unexposed to the charms
of vivid writing. For example,
Thackeray in 1850 took pen in hand
to inquire: why do they always put
mud into coffee on board steamers?
Why does the tea generally taste of
boiled boots?"

Comments on Press Freedom

Comments on Press Freedom
To the Editor of The Star:
The Associated Press dispatch from
London about the arrival of the Amer
ican editors on tour "to promote world
free press" as the heading in your
paper reads, reminded me Of one Of
Aesop's fables. Seeing herself in a
mirror. monkey remarked to the bear
nearby: Look at that horrible creature,
ETC., etc. If looked thousand part
as bad as she would haKe committed
suicide" Smilingly, the bear answered: /:
Instead Of taking the pains to judge
others, 1t might be well for you to take
a good look at yourself"
This is precisely what would like
to tell the editors who are out to ''in-
corporate the principles Of free press
in the forthcoming peace treaties" as
the London dispatch says One would
judge that we here in America have
already achieved free press to the
full. OF course, this is not the case.

Criticises Senators

To the Editor of The Star:
Why all the excitement in the press
today over the sayings of Senators Taft
and Wheeler?
Senator Taft was reelected by a sur
prisingly small majority. He is express
ing now the same isolationist, gloomy,
urconstructive things he always has
expressed.
Senator Wheeler was not up for re-
election, SO We can't tell what might
have happened to him., But he has been
singing: Don't let's be beastly to the
Germans" for years and years.
What's new about these men?
