ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARA! THAN Ti OF ANY OTHE! Gl The Unimportance of Bergdoll (Philadelphia Record) 1t is our feeling that the importance of Mr. Grover National Newspaper Represe Cleveland Bergdoll has been woefully magnified. To Los Angeles, Portland, i |us, he is pathetically unimportant, a man who once as a symbol of the hated draft-dodger, but who, to- day, is merely an unpleasant sort of person who is so 1xious to get out of Hitler's Germany that he pre- ace eriminal charges her He should be tried | without vengeance or a pumped- | al of the war-time hatreds There were other draft-dodgers who, le foolish than Bergdoll, stayed home and cashed in. There | were those “patriots” who told the United States Gov- ernment—during the war—that it could buy muni- tions only if it met the price demanded. Yes, there were dozens other specimens of similar stripe, and we \lso have come to know mnot only draft-dodgers but | debt-dodgers, to whom we loaned our money only to be dubbed “Uncle Shylock.” No, it’s better to let the sleeping dogs of those old hatreds lie. That's why we hope Congress quashes e move to bar Bergdoll from residence by special lation, which, oddly enough, would put a premium for the future on just such escapades.
