Ss against 10 per cent of the British public who believed the principle of force against aggressor na- tions should not be adopted, 77 per cent were found to bélieve that it should be. Bspecially interesting and significant, we think, was the response to the question: “Do you think Britain should rémain free to decide whether or not to use force against an ‘aggressor’ nation, or should agree to vote with the rest of the United Nations and accept the result?” Twenty-three per cent thought England should remain free to decide herself, and 63 per cent thought Britain should vote with other nations and accept the result. Against the background of British war attitude during the 1930s, this poll result indicates -a very pronounced shift in public attitude. England, which explored both pacifism and appeasement, awoke—and almost too late—to the hard realities of crganized aggression. It is not remarkable that the British now agree overwhelmingly that the principle of force must be followed in checking aggression. to note that by a ratio of three-to-one the British are wiliing to trade a precious bit of their sovereignty | for an opportunity to a in concert with other na- | tions in preventing fu United States are notion of acting in ¢ prospects of i peace are excellent AS vorable to the gher than alone, ifeguard the Nisei Future (Washington Post) Two and a half years nave pamd since Washington Merry- Go-Round (Continued from Page Ore) |overnight at \morning Repres | Rooney, hcu\y land was managed Hawalian Farrington waiian troops vided a plane to sleeper, left to get ties.

THE DAILY ALASKA EMP evacuation by military order of all persons of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast of the United States It is pessible now to see this 2vacuation in perspectiv to assess its ccnsequences, some of them quite unfore- een, and to ponder its implications for the future. One consequence was that about 110,000 persons, two- Ll ve-born Amer ican citigens, had to tablished b ation Author This was something v novel in our history—the forcible removal and deten- tion of Americans strictly on grounds of their crigin.

They concentrated hundreds of tanks in their first attack. Once they broke through, they spread out. Also the Nazis had little to lose. If they sat be-! hind the Siegfried Line they were sure to lose the war eventually, so they could afford this gamble. 8—Howover, it remains a fact that we had advance information of great Nazi activity for about a week before the attack came, though. apparently we sized it up as a preparation for retreat rather | than attack. Also some of Gen. Eisenhower’s friends in the War Departimént had cautioned him that it was a favorite Nazi trick to turn and strike back when cor- nered. NOTE — Gen. Courtney Hodges, against. whose First Army the blow was launched, is regarded as a better-than-average American Gen- eral.
