Nisei Names on War Memorial


Plans are now being made by the Mayors
.r Memorial Committee to erect permanent me-
mortal for World War Ii dead from King Coun-
, ty.
Although the memorial committee is at pre-
sent begged down with administrative tasks of
deciding how to finance the project, it is certain
that some sort of memorial is to be erected to
pe1petuate the memories of those who gave their
30 lives in the service of their country.
80 Once the type of a memorial is decided up
on, there is big task of compiling the names of
all those fallen soldiers from the King county
area. The present list which the Memorial
:. Committee has is far from complete.
1t t a + e d, we II n G T.
- stand, by voluntary effort of private indivi-
dual who compiled the list by checking with the
American Legion, Red Cross newspaper arti-
= cles, Maritime Commission, Army and Navy
releases, and other sources.
A preliminary check of the list which no
doubt will form the basis for the final list,
vealed that many of our Nisei buddies not on
this list, or their names are misspelled
The present temporary pylon which stands
in the Victory Square on Fifth Avenue is to be
replaced by permanent memorial and it will be
in our interests to cooperate with the Memorial
Committee in compilation of Japanese Ameri-
= can dead from the King County area to facilitate
their work.
Our community can well aid this committee
by forming our own memorial committee made up
of members from such intercsed organizations
as the Japanese Gold Star Parents, Nisei Vet
Grams Committee, and the Seattle Chapter of the
JACL. This committee can serve as liason with
the Mayors Committee and check the names of
Nisei war dead to be included among the fallen
@servicemen from our country
1t will be good gesture on our part to ia
ciitate this tremendous task before the commit
tee by taking the initiative in compiling the list of
Nisei names. And by forming such responsible
committee from among the Nisei community, we
can centralize the effort as well insure that
all the names of Nisei war dead will be duly
placed on the permanent memorial.

France, will shortly be returned to
the states. Some of the casualties
being from Seattle and vicinity, 1t
is expected that their bodies will
be brought back near here for fl
nal interment.
It seems to Us, as we digest the
news, that 1t IS hign time that the
local Japanese community got busy
on a memorial in honor Of these
men who died in battle. It would
be a shame, not to say disgrace,
If this community were so uncon-
cerned or so lethargic that it
couldn't do something along this
line. This is community respon-
sibility In our opinion. What win
the community do about it?

Born In ear

The Truman doctrine was born in
/ fear. It's distorted outlook sees people,
not as men and women crying out for
bread but as pawns in a game of
power politics, to be taken and fed or
left to starye according to their politi-
cal prejudices and their willingness to
be bought. It's message of fear and
its offer of brides to anti-Soviet re-
gimes or to any regime willing to be-
come anti-Soviet, bears no relation to
the needs of the peoples of the world
America was not made great by
mean and fearful and destructive men.
1t was made great by bold and cour-
'ageous and broadminded men, self
confident and tolerant in the faith
that democracy will triumph, men
proud of the common sense of the
American people, men filled with the
conviction that our people, left to
themselves, will find their own wav
to peace and freedom.
Rights of Labor
[ say that the politicians who at
tack the rights of labor and the right
of free speech are denying the right
of Americans to free institutions.
All this is being done in a spirit of
hysteria, an undertone of war prem
aration, an underlined emergency
which cuts short debate on decisions
of Importance and calls for undeclar-
cd actions to protect America from an
unnamed enemy. I say that the time
has come to be honest with the Amer
lean people.
If communism is a menace, then
give the people proof in terms that
they understand, instead of arousinu
hatred and hysteria!
If as is claimed, Russia does not
want to cooperate with America in
solving the problems that are out
standing between us, then give the
people proof by honestly trying to
meet with the Russians and talking
over all of our problems.
If the United Nations is at present
poWerless to overcome misery and pre-
vent aggression, then tell the people
so, and let them set about strength
ening the United Nations.
If civil liberties are DANGEROUS, if
labor is not responsible, then tell US
what is better than civil liberty and a
free trade union movement, instead of
labor, and all the people,
With measures as vicious as the Taft
5all-Hartiey bill. All the people must
light such destructive measures, as
threats to our common liberty.
Today, the drift toward depression
md the drift toward war are caused bv
he same forces. They are the results
If the same attitudes, and they must

~ the people.
II present domestic policies contin-
lie to be designed to make the rich

our government tonight-Europe is
not going to give up socialism on ord
ers from President Truman, Arthur
Vandenberg, and John Foster Dulles.
American conservatives, blinded by
prejudice and wishful thinking, may
dismiss left-wing forces in Europe as
powerless in the face of our movement
may dismiss the same forces as evil
Both are wrong. The leaders of left
wing Europe today are not bearded
bolsheviks or long-haired theorists, or
cunning schemers. They are leaders
of the people, loved by the people and
kept in power by the people. They
are men and women who earned the
right to political leadership today by
leadership in wartime, when the price
death. They are not all pro-Soviet,
but none will tolerate hatred of Rus
STA. They are not all even friendly to
communism, but when men act as if
communism is the one and only enemy
of mankind they answer bluntly: Get
enemies of mankind-poverty litter
acy, disease and war. More than any
nation they look to America for lead
ership.
But the America they love is the
true America, the bold and generous
America that is unafraid. The fear
full and boastfuI America that tries to
buy off the attraction of communism
by sheer force of dollars, they will
have none of. And believe me, it is
dangerous to ignore these men or to
try and defeat them with the aid of
a few discredited reactionaries who
are for sale.
Roots in the People
These new leaders of progressive
and socialist Europe have the roots of
their following in the hearts of the
people, roots too deep for the spades
Of Senator Vandenberg and John Fost-
er Dulles to unearth. They earned
their positions of leadership the hard
way, and they will not give them up
the soft way-by bride of 400 mil
lion American dollars.
Any effort by America to destroy
the leadership of these men by force
Of the economic wealth that Europe so
badly needs will end by destroying the |
leadership of America
We must not take that road
I cannot overemphasize the import
lnce of this point. l am not speaking
low as progressive who wishes to
Zee progressives abroad protected. |
IN speaking simply as an American
Who is thoroughly alarmed by the
knowledge that American reactionar-
es in their blind hatred of Russia are
N the way to unite the world against
he United States.
In the name of helping peoples who
re battling to protect their freedom
gainst totalitarianism, the Truman
octrine has become law for Greece
nd Turkey. 1t will do about as much
God for the world as the Taft-Hart-
ey bill will do for Seattle.

who want the chance to serve in peace.
For the development of the North
west is in the interests of all Every
job created in an aluminium reduction
plant in Vancouver Spokane, Tacoma
and other areas will Great a dozen jobs

So l say that the first way in which
the Northwest can help to prevent
worldwide depression, is by demanding
the right to further develop its re-
sources, on behalf of all the people.
The people of Washington must also
fight for their rights to social security
and medical care Those rights, prom
ised Americans by Franklin Roosevelt
and Harry Truman in wartime-h

coalition of Republican and reaction
airy Democrats here, that operates in
Washington, on behalf of the lobbies
and against the people. The people
must reply.
Alaska Development Needed
The second way to prevent depres
sion in the Northwest is stand behind
a really comprehensive development
of Alaska. Alaska ought to have with

| have come to Seattle to assert my
conviction that the world can and must

wards depression and war.
| have come to assert my faith that
through democracy, and through the
United Nations, the world can find
lasting prosperity and peace i.
There is much that we can and must
do, today.
How can we prevent depression?
1t cannot be done by electing a Re-
publican congress and a Republican
president. 1t cannot be done by lead
ership in any party which looks back
to the past which refuses to face real
problems with the boldness and cour-
age that make America great.
Washington is pioneer state, a
growing state. +. It's resources are
still undeveloped-chea power sup
plies, on which this state depends, can

Envy of the World
Bonneville and COLLECTIVE proper
ties of the people that are the envy of
the world-are just starting on the
road to the power and irrigation devel-
opment that may transform the North
west
Already in wartime, Columbia river
power made a magnificent contribu-
ton to the war. 1t produced the alum
mum for one in every three planes that
our army and navy flew it produced
ships faster than they had ever been
built before-one Kaiser shipyard
building more ships here than the en-
tire nation built in the first world war.
Columbia river power produced the
plutonium for the release of atomic
eneygr.
All this not achieved without effort |
and sacrifice. f.. All of the citizens |
of this area want to see its vast poten- |
tialities turned into goods for which an
ill-fed, ill-clothed world is crying out
But without power, the Northwest,
lacking oil, gas and coal, will remain
in it's old colonial status-a region of
raw materials drawn out for the en-
richment of other regions and for the
of monopoly.
(Simiar Situation In Montana)
In the service of the democratic
world the Northwest has greatly ex-
banded it's production and its popula-
tion-now, which road lies ahead for
YOU? The issue has been drawn
will the West, at this crucial time, be
allowed to go forward as an integral
part of the nation, or will it fall back
into subordination to the East?
Certainly the 80th congress wants (

Pvt. Wagner Now With
U. S. Army In Japan

With the Eighth army in Kokura,
Kyushu, Japan, March %, Pvt. Leo
Wagner, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Wagner of 624 Cottonwood avenue,
Laurel, is now serving with the
Twenty-first infantry regiment, a
unit of the Twenty-fourth division
in Japan. The Twenty-fourth.
known as the "Victory DIVISION" is
now occupying the entire island Of
Kyushu, southernmost and third
largest of the Japanese home group.
Private Wagner entered the army
Oct. 2, 1916, in Butte. Prior to
going overseas he received basic
training at Fort Bragg, N. c.
Upon his arrival in the Twenty
fourth division areas, Wagner found
many improvement projects under
construction. In an effort to make
life overseas equal to that of a
soldier stationed in the United
States, the "Victory" division has
furnished its men with modern liv-
ing quarters and the best recrea-
tional and amusement facilities
available.
