peace. In this effort we see one
obstacle after another delaying
the day of final settlement. And
it is our inability to get Russia
in full accord which creates most
of the obstacles. Either Russia
objects strenuously to some pol

Russia doesn't care about our

By that time the Japs went ashore on land and they come from side of mountain After we finished our church there they come down the west side of hill run with rifles and machine guns and start to shooting village. One lady was shot on leg but she got well again. When Japanese army come into village call for everyone. The of- ficers use swords to gather every body then. The commander name was Yamazaki.

Believing it will be of interest throughout Alaska, there is quoted below a statement made by one of the Aleuts captured by the Japanese on Attu in 1922. The re- port was made to Monroe Sweet land, American Red Cross Field Director with the 10th Army when the Aleut passed through Okinawa on his return to Alaska from Japan.

DANGER AHEAD

Behind the widening wave of strikes and threatened strikes which is delaying the reconverson o producton and the demobzaton of the armed forces IS a clear and distinct revolutionary pattern-and Tn some ol te disruptions at least unmstakabe revolutionary actV- ity. IL,
 The dock strike in New York and some of our other 'labor dspues parake of the recognizable char acter. , . The actual situation has been alarmlngly denloh- strated in the great automotVe and steel nduStres.
 In both industries prices and wages are still deter mined by the federal government through the contn- uance of it's powers.
 In both industries the costs of production nave been enormously increased by wartime increases Tn wages and in the costs of materials authorized by the govern ment .
 At the same time in both industries the federal bu- reaucracy has refused to permit any prlce increases.
 As result, both industres-each of them ot prime necessity in meeting the problems Of reemployment and replenishment-h been operating against al- most insuperabe obstacles
 The automotive industry which has had severe re- conversion problem about ready to resume mass pro- duction and mass employment
 The federal bureaucracy by refusing to grant equt- able price adjustments, is compelling the industry to re- sume business net oss and the larger its produc- ton and the greater it's payrolS the heaVer must lS financial losses become
 The steel industry with serious problem of recon version is now selling much of it's production at oss
 Obviously, if wages, costs of materials and sales prices remain unoned for any protracted perod these two key industries will both be forced to shut down as their working capital becomes impaired exhausted, and throw all their employees out of work
 And what will happen then?
 The government still retains it's wartime powers for no proclamation has been made that the and that the power to confiscate property has ceased
 Let nobody doubt that if the steel mills and the auto motive factories closed by strikes otherwise the demand for government seizure will be made and the seizures will be made.
 Moreover shutdowns and seizures in two basic indus tries will be followed accompanied by shut downs and seizures expanding scale the coal the oil, the transportation and the communication indus tries would undoubtedly be subjected to the pro cess. And the peacetime seizure of private enterprise by the government is revolution.
 Let it occur-and the revolutionary elements will find means to make it last.
 For this is precisely what the advocates of planned economy and of Standardization of industries want to happen in America we'll in Great Britain and Soviet Russia.
 And this is what the federal government is letting the people of the United States in for with its sheer lack of sound labor policy its weak trucking to labor

BLESS "DEM BUNS"

The dramatic announcement of the scrapping
Of the old unwrtten but effective, lily-white rule
in major league baseball gave millions of sports
loving Americans an electric thrill last week. The
Brooklyn Dodgers broke the ice and won the plaud-
its Of true sportsmen everywhere. 1t was headline
news in Cuba and other Latn-American countries
as well as in our own. No victory on the playing
field has won for the Dodgers, nor any other
ball club the cheers and we'll wishes which have
come to them in the wake of this announcement.
Regardless of what the future may hold, the
hiring of Jackie Robinson by the Brooklyn Dodgers
has shaken the very foundations of the cocieyed
baseball system which was built upon considerations
OF color. The clubs which insist on drawing the
color line have been pushed out on limb. Sooner
or later they will meet the censure of the American
public which, despite the popularity of color preju-
dice has an ingrained sense of true craftsmanship.
Joe Louis would never have won the hearts of Amer
leans If this were not So
TO Jackie Robinson we wish world of good
fortune. Some may say cyncaly, he will need it.
Jackie has played stellar role before and he has
heard tumultuous applause ringing in his ears on
the gridiron. His record leads us to believe that
ne Will 90 justice to the opportunity before him and
bring credit to those who gave him the opportunity
10 those Warped-headed bigots who are crying
out against the hiring Of Negro by ma jor league
team we offer our complete contempt. This goes
for any Negro baseball owners or anybody else who
is opposed to the action of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
1t is our guess, like that of the Dodger manage
ment that the southern white boys who may be
shocked will recover in due time. good stiff DEM
ocratic shock in the right place might do them
lot of good.
1t seems eminently fitting somehow that the
cantankerous Brooklyn Dodgers should be the first
club to kick over the color traces. The club and
their frenzed fans are famous all over the world.
Baseball to them is the supreme sport We can
thank this razzle-dazzle bunch for making Ameri-
cas- so-caed national sport truly democratic in
stitution. Long live "dem buns"

Sinclair Lewis 18th book on the
ways and wiles of the genus
Americana, Cass Timberlane. pub
lished by Random House, has won
kind attention from the name re-
viewers and is sure to swell the
authors bank account IL not his
reputation. Like Superman with
X-ray eyes, Mr.. Lewis explores
the marriage business and de-
scribes the fascinating conduct OF
score Of typical characters in
his typical but mythical Minnesota
town OF Grand Republic.
Mr.. Lewis is a satirist with a
merry twinkle in his eye and
even his enemies have 10 admit
that he knows how 10 keep his
readers awake and anxious. This
new book has been most appro-
priately sub-titled, "A Novel of
Husbands and Wives" The foibles
and infdelities of his creatures
struggling with the institution Of
marriage are laughable and tragic.
II is surprising what goes on
among the best-wed couples and
the author seems 10 take deli ght
in giving us the keyhole view Of
some of the best bedrooms in
Grand Republic.
The way Mr.. Lewis describes his
folk makes the book worth our
money. Here/is what he has 10
say Of the /housekeeper Of Judge
Timberlane:
Mrs Hebee was go years old,
and what is known as ,colored
which meant that she was not
quite so dark OF visage as Webb
Wargate after his annual Florida
tanning. She was graceful and
sensible and full OF love and 10y
atty. She was in no way a comic
servant; she was like any other
wholesome middle-class Ameri-
can, with an accent like that of
any other emlgree from Ohio.
She was an Episcopalian,
and continued TO be one, for his
toric reasons. though she was not
greatly welcomed in the more
fashionable temples Of that faith "
In giving us a picture Of DR..
Drover. the author writes: e. &.
He believed that he was a great
democrat. but he hated all Jews,
Poles, Firms, and people from the
Balkans, and he always referred
TO Negroes as 'darkies' or smokes.
Describing another character,
Mr.. Lewis says: She had the odd
and interesting sense of humor OF
a grizzly bear" or another he
says: She had worked so hard at
an English accent that she had ac-
quired fascinating combination

MILITARY TRAINING

The administrations plea for compulsory mill
tary training of American youth focuses another
spotlight on the question of Negrowhite relation
ships in the armed services of our country. The
War Department has admitted that the record of
the experiment with ntegrated units on the Euro
pean front indicated that color is an unimportant
factor in fighting war The record corroborates
what everybody already knew.
The costly and unwieldy system of segregation
in the armed forces must be abandoned to achieve
maximum efficiency in our fighting forces. Apart
from the practical" disadvantages Of segregation
we must consider its moral damage and its injury
tothe democratic concepts for which we fight and
pledge allegiance. Segregation in the armed forces
cannot be supported on either moral or practical
grounds. 1t is holdover from the past the vestige
of an old order. 1t is outdated and anachronstic
in modern warfare as the firearms of Sitting Bull.
