ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1011 American Building, Seattle, Wash. — JAPS AND ALASKA There has been criticism aplenty of late_concerning the Jap occupations in Alaska and out of this has grisen the erroneous impression that the members of the American forces in the North Pacific war zone have been criticized. On the contrary, we be- lieve that most persons, congressmen and newspaper editors are quick to realize the fact that the mem- bers of our Army and Navy in the Aleutians are by no means dogging it. But there are indications ‘that unless more men and armaments are allotted to Alaska, the Japs will remain on their new p ssions for some time. The Japs are heading in our direction in these occupations. And even if they were heading towards Siberia it should be our duty to get rid of them as a Uniteq Nations’ obligation. Press dispatches cleared out of Alaska by the Navy Department tell of the bravery of the men who fly the old PBYs out over Kiska where they are liable and often do meet up with superior Jap aircraft. The dispatches tell also of using the cumbersome “flying coffins” as dive bombers. One of the reasons we lost the Philippines, were driven out of Bataan 50 ill-equipped that they were almost helpless. didn’t lose the Philippines because our officers were poor strategists or because our men lacked courage. Senator Mon C. Wallgren of Washington, who vis- ited the officers in charge of Alaskan defenses re- cently, and who saw our Alaskan equipment first hand, is of the opinion that any atempt at a large- scale invasion by the Japanese could not be halted by our Alaskan forces. He could be wrong. But that is his opinion. Speaking of this situation in the House, Rep. John M. Coffee of Washingfon says: was because our forces were | We | THE- DAILYVALASKA EMPIRE []aburing the courageous men of the Army and Navy {who are performing such heroic work in atfacking ‘thv Japanese in the Aleutians and attempting to | expel them, but no results can be obtained without Mdequnte numbers of men and equipment. e .1 am serving as a spokesman for the people |of the Pacific Coast areas, who are gravely appre- | hensive that the high military, naval and air auth- ‘omes who coptrol the assignment of men, Ships, | planes, and military equipment continue to suffer from a propensity for underestimating the Japanese. . remember that Dutch Harbor, at the eastern lend of the Aleutians is but 30 miles from Unimak Pass which is the main passageway from the Pacific into the Bering Sea, connectng southwest Alaska ‘with Nome and that whole segment of Alaska north of Bristol Bay.” Wasted Sympathy? (Petersburg Press) | We have occasionally read copies of letters sent | by Japanese interned in camps at Puyallup and other places in the States. They speak of their home- | sickness for their former residence, and of their bore- dom from lack of useful work. We read of families separated, obliged to give up temporarily their homes of many years. We are told rather ruefully by some | that the wages they are to be paid are not $21 to $00, but from $8 to $16 monthly for services about the camp. We read of their pride in programs in “athlet- ics, education, recreation and religion . . . with no financial help from the government.” Sometimes when we hear these things we are tempted to criticize our government as being too harsh on innocent persons. There are undoubtedly many persons in Japanese camps who are more loyal Americans than some who have the freedom to go where they will throughout our country. . But we have a war to win, and for the good of the many the freedom of the few must be temporarily sacri- ficed. But every Japanese, whatever camp he is in is treated with fairpess, and with humanity. They get enough to eat; they have an adequate shelter; they are not subject to the whims of abusive guards nor to planned tortures by police. Different indeed is the story told by evacuees from Japan who reached freedom on the Gripsholm re- cently. Robert Bellaire, the young . chief of the| United Press in Tokyo told of being choked until he| signed a “confession” of espionage. Then he was taken to a concentration camp where food was in- adequate and many stayed in bed all the time to keep warm. The Tokyo correspondent for the New ! York Times was forced to squat, heels against hips until sores opened on his legs. A Presbyterian mis- | sionary was given the “water cure,” with water forced into him until he lost consciousness. Another editor . was kept cold, hungry and fn solitary confinement till the one 160-pound man now weighs 75 pounds. Some British. did not fare so well as the Ameri-| cans, and twelve committed suicide after their tor- tures. After the raid on Tokyo, says Bellaire, the Americans were told that if Tokyo were bombed | again the Japs would supply no more food to pris- oners within the embassy. Next time one is attempted to feel that we are too harsh on the Japanese interned for the duration, it will be well to ponder on these true experiences of persons whose official standing emtitled them to considerate treatment. = It might be well, too, to think how hard indeed must be the. fate of any Americans now subject to the “ministrations” of & Japanese concentration camp. If we do that we will realize that internees, whether Japanese or German, in our country have mighty little cause for com- “I do not wish my remarks to be construed as be- | plaint. the Queen’s car. partment official, Washington But a State De-| intervened.
