Since air commerce spans the distances between con- tinents almost as quickly and easily as land travel spans the distances between states, there will be need for completé international regulation and understand- ing.

The Japanese-Americans . (New York Times) If Prof. Everett L. Dakan of the Ohio State University Poultry Department, head of WRA's relo- cation office in Columbus, Ohio, had spent six months trying to think of ways to impede his own work he ceuld have done more than he did. Professor Dakan's task was to induce loyal Japanese-Americans to leave West Coast relocation camps and take farm jobs in the Middle We; Many of the Japanese- Americans, though willing and even eager to help the United States, were fearful as to how they would be received in new communities. They couldn't realize that they were needed to relieve the farm labor short- age. In attempting to reassure them Mr. Dakan informed them that “some few tenant and seasonal workers do not bathe,” that some workers “in the Middle West, in Ohio and in Michigan” are not “care- | ful, painstaking and accurate,” and that the Japanese- | Americans could teach them some profitable lessons. There could be some truth in these statements The trouble with the Japanese in Japan is not that they refuse to bathe, and we shoud be belittling the achievements of our soldiers, sailors and marines in | the South Seas if we denied that the Japanese fight- ‘h_v national leaders freedoms, the elimination of poverty re a cleanly | o indicated by any reading of the stars.
