ON FREEDOM OF SPEECH

I feel nonetheless inclined to dis
cuss the question of freedom be-
cause an order has gone forth that
it shall not be discussed. Discus
sion has been denounced as agita-
ton, and then it has been dictator
tally proclaimed that agitation
must be put down" Humble as l
am, I submit to no such dictation
come from what quarter or what
numbers it may. In this government,
it is not tolerable for any man,
however high, or for any body of
men, however large. to prescribe
what subjects may be agitated and
what may not be agitated. Such
prescription is at best but a species
of lynch law against free speech I
do but express the common senti-
ment of all generous minds when l
say that for one I am all the more
disposed to use my privilege OF
speech when imperious men attempt
to ban or constrain me hold trea-
son against this government to be
an enormous crime; but great as it
is. I hold treason against free speech
to be incomparably greater.

appropriations committee. which
had formally deleted the appro9ria-
tons from the supplemental appro-
priations.
1T was rather curious situation
of the acting chairman of commit
tee refusing to support on the floor
the action taken by the full commit
tee" said Masaoka. without Sc
nator Hayden's sympathetic interes,
and help. our effort to restore the
compromise funds would have been
foredoomed to failure"
Masaoka also indicated that the
only amendment to be rejected by
the Senate, among the number pro-
posed by the Senate appropriations
committee. was the one advocating
the deletion of the $14,800,000 re-
quested by the Department of JUS
tice for the payment of compromis-
ed evacuation claims.
In general" stated Masaoka,
1.-The amendments suggested by the
Senate appropriations committee
are passed. However, because of
the leadership given by Senators
Hayden and Magnuson in this fight
to restore appropriations for our
compromise program, we were able
to defeat in this instance an amend
ment, whose passage should have
meant real economic hardship to
some of the older claimants"
Early in the debate. in clarifying
a point made by Senator Hayden,
who worked with Senator Magnu-
son to secure supplemental appro-
priationS for the evacuation claims
program, Senator Magnuson REFER
ed to the letter written by Mike Ma
saoka, national JACL ADO legisla-
/ tive director, to all the senators,
| describing briefly the compromise
settlement program and urging that
the payment of claims be not de-
layed
ut would seem cruel justice, >
stated Masaoka in the letter quoted
by Senator Magnuson, "to these
people, who have agreed to take a
Is per cent reduction of their claims
to withhold any longer the money
already awarded them by the gov
eminent"
Under Senator Magnuson's lead
| ership, the Senate also agreed to the
Washington senator's stipulation
that in the conference between
House and Senate members of theil
respective appropriation committee
this nine million dollar figure woulc
be revised upward to cover all claims
compromised and settled up to thu
conference date by the Department
of Justice.
Senator Homer Ferguson carried
the brunt of the battle to delete to-
tally any funds for payment Of eva.
cuation claims from the supplement
tai appropriations measure on thu
grounds that there are only two anc
half months until the regular ap
preparations bill will go into effec
and the subcommittee which hand
les the regular Department of Jus
tice appropriations would like t.
look further into the matter.
Senator Ferguson was joined il
his opposition by Senator Leveret

Here's Blow-by-Blow Verbal Account
OF Magnuson's Tiff for Claims Funds

WASHINGTON, D. c., April %
(JACL ADC)-Last week on the
Senate floor, Senator Warren G.
Magnuson ID, Wash), acting at
the request of the JACL ADO, led
the fight to gain Senate approval of
nine million dollars for the pay
ment of compromised evacuation
claims.
This unexpected battle in the Sc
nate developed when the previous
week the Senate appropriations
committee, without warning, slash
ed the entirety of the $14800. 900
requested by the Department of
Justice for the payment of evacua-
ton claims which have been COM
promised and settled from the
third supplemental appropriation
bill. During the deliberations of the
Senate appropriations committee,
Senator Homer Ferguson (R., Mich
iietu oohCu lilC COlIiiilllCCc W uclcGt
this sum earmarked for evacuation
claims payment from the supple
mental appropriations and to consi-
der it when the regular Justice de-
partment budget came up for re-
view.
This proposed deferment of con-
sideration of funds for the payment
of evacuation claims meant the
coming to complete standstill of
the whole compromise settlement
program.
Together with Senator Carl Hay
den Cd, Alfz) Senator Magnuson
salvaged the apparently jettisoned
program by securing Senate appro-
val of nine million dollars to pay
the backlog of compromised and
settled claims.
But before the Senate approval of
the compromise funds was finally
secured, the opposition led by Sc
nator Ferguson and Senator Lever
EFT Saltonstall (R., Mass), acting
minority floor leader, stubbornly
insisted that a principle was al
stake and that appropriations OF
this nature must not be included in
supplemental appropriations
Earlier, Mike Masaoka, national
JACL ADO legislative director, can
celled his report tour of the West
Coast, upon learning of the sudden
turn of events in the Senate appro-
priations committee. and stopped
off in Arizona on his way back tt
Washington, D. c., to activate con.
stituents influential with Senator
Hayden into urging the senator
from Arizona to work actively to-
ward restoring the $14,800O00 into
the third supplemental appropria-
lions bill. On the Senate floor. Sc.
nator Hayden teamed with Senator
Magnuson to defeat Senate appro.
priations committees amendment
which would have completely ex
cluded funds for the payment O
compromised evacuation claim
from the present supplemental ap
preparations.
Masaoka pointed out that Senate
Hayden in his capacity as the act
ing chairman of the Senate appro
priations committee could easil.
have killed the move to restor
funds for the payment of compro
missed claims by interposing an OBJ
lection on behalf of the full Senat
