other commission or board and
have simply turned the matter
over to the Attorney General, gi-
wing him authority to settle these
claims. We were moved to do
that because of our belief that the
Attorney Generals office was p
quipped with the personnel ia
miliar with this sort of thing and
we believed ii would be done better
and with less expense than by set
ting up some commission.
The committee also substantial
ly rewrote the bill. We appreciate
the fact that war brings a loss to
many people. A young man, for
example, who enlists or is drafted,
who is running a small business
and has to turn the key in the
door. goes away; when he comes
back he finds he has lost several
years, out of his life. a loss for
which no compensation can ever
be made.
So we have done the best we
could in writing this bill to allow
compensation only for those ele-
ments of damage which can be
traced directly to the evacuation
order I regret we are not able to
give you the exact details as to
what the cost will be. The high
est figure we had, incidentally. was
$10,000,000. Personally. 1 believe
the rewriting of the bill will result
in much less amount. That is
the substance of the bill.
Mr.. Chairman, l shall be glad to
yield to anyone who may have any
questions in regard to this proposed
legislation.

to the gentleman from Hawaii.
Mr.. HARRINGTON. I am very
much in favor of this measure al
though the number of Japanese
who were evacuated from the Ter
ritory of Hawaii were limited. 1
think it is eminently just and fair
that this method should be devised
to do those people justice. The
committee is to be congratulated
on the consideration it has given TO
this measure and the manner in
which it has reported the bill
Mr.. GWYnne of Iowa. I thank
the gentleman.

and in justice. I feel that you

The bill authorizes the Attorney
General to adjudicate certain
claims resulting from the west

The bill authorizes the Attorney

persons of japanese ancestry who
were evacuated from their homes
in the Western States during the
early part of the war under mill

In view that the Attorney Gen.
eral must determine the fair and

substantiate the claims, and the

feel that this is legislation in the

requires that We adjudicate the

through no action or fault of their
own, were removed from their

loss or damage to them. They

Editorial

1t is high time some people paid tribute to
the American Friends Service Committee.
That group is sponsoring the third annual
Childrens Inter Racial Camp now in full swing
at Deception Pass State Park on Whidbey Is
land.
The project is an attempt to improve the
feeling between one race and another or one re-
ligion and another through children whose
minds not warped and aged with prejudices
but whose minds are fresh, clean and young to
learn the rich value of working for mutual
respect, brotherhood and decent society," free
from unnecessary suffering, want, disease and
oppression
The purpose of this camp is commendable
More cOmmendable, however, are the efforts of
the Americans Friends Service Committee to
strive for peace among all peoples.
In its pamphlet camp data, the ALSO
states its DEEPER more worldly thought:
''The achievement of harmony and good
feeling as well as economic nd social Justice
among people of diverse races and creeds lies at
the very root of peace Without it even the
best-panned international political organization
will rest on shaky foundations
The sincerely of the Also cannot be de-
MED.
When the japanese Americans, their par
ents and their friends were rooted out of their
homes early in the spring of 1912 as ''militarv
necessity the Also was one of the first
Christian organizations battling for the evacuat-
ed japanese. The Also stood staunchly by its
conviction that the wholesale removal was en-
tirely unnecessary. The Also also worked
hard to help the confused people, who were
Gagged behind barbed wires in relocation centers,
regain their confidence in our government.
Those were trying years for anyone who
tried to aid the japanese who themselves admit
were helpless and an easy prey for I'M American
elements who beat the tom-tom to stir up anti
japanese feeling.
The AFCS withstood all criticisms then
Today, the Also is taking an admirable
lead in our nations battle to alleviate suffer-
ings among peoples throughout the world And,
needless to state it has the full blessings of our
government
Lest we forget, the Also.

dominant Government market,
followed suit.
Investment circles then were en-
crossed with the question whether or
not the Government planned to sell
"a longterm issue carrying coupon
of III pr cent. The rebound In
bond prices resulted in large part
from the belief that Federal financ-
ing policy would result In dearth
of satisfactory investment media.
Strong competition for outstanding
issues resulted, particularly in the
lower maturity ranges. d
When the price. curve was at its
peak, big and little business took
advantage of a golden opportunity.
Money was cheap. Millions of dol
lars of securities carrying interest
coupons ranging to more than 4
per cent were replaced with issues
paying around 8 per cent or less. At
the same time industry grabbed the
chance to borrow money for postwar
expansion at the lowest price In
history.
Almost overnight, in early April,
the big investors withdrew from the
market. Speculative interest waned.
Investors Cautious.
Treasury calls on the war loan
account increased. At first banks
were content to sit tight and sell
short maturity Federal issues to
meet them. Uncertainty over just
how heavy Federal demands would
be created general caution In banks
and insurance companies, among the
holders of Government securities.
Prices started to drop.
Investors baked at a time when
predictions were freely made of q
continued boom in new financing.
They complained that the return Of
their investment was absurdly low
and expressed displeasure by de-
creasing purchases of new securities.
Investment syndicates suddenly.
found themselves with unsaleable
supplies of new stocks and bonds.
At some time in mid-year the
Treasury apparently decided that
interest rates had gone low enough.
Wartime measures, for instance,
that had enabled banks to purchase
an almost unlimited amount OF
Government bonds, were eliminated
or modified.
In late fall this decision was mani
tested by an upward tendency in
interest rates, particularly In the
short-term range. +,
New securities were sold carrying
a higher yield than earlier in the
year. Commercial paper, bankers
acceptances, commercial loan rates
tended upward.
Monetary experts leaned to the
opinion that any change would be
upward.

Government Debt Gu
Interest Rates Rise
After Long Decline
By William D. Horeon
Axsoeiotsd Press Einaneial Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The United
States Government, largest borrower
In the world, started to pay of its
debt In 1916.
For the first time since President
Roosevelt initiated the deficit
financing of the early 1905, the
Government lowered the national
debt on an important scale.
Immediate result was what ap-
peared to be a permanent reversal
in downward trend in interest
rates. and an upward trend In bond
prices, which had been under way
for more than a decade.
Soon after the first of the year
the Treasury found itself with a
cash balance of more than $780,
000, 900 resulting mainly from un-
used proceeds of the late 1945 Victory
loan. War needs were drastically
lower. In a carefully planned pro-
gram, the Treasury used its cash to
whittle away at a national debt
that at one time appeared headed
for the $500, ,000, ,000, 900 mark.
Climb to New Peaks.
