Taking on such a job in normal times is some- | thing the ordinary entrepreneur thinks about more than twice. And in these days of high construction cost, shortage of materials, and all of the rest of the red tape such a task entails, Mr. Goldstein, who is no spring chicken, is certainly to be commended. | Ever since the unfortunate fire which gutted the building in 1939, the shell has been an eyesore and the fnews of the plan to convert the structure into a “modern building is gladdening i We are sure that Mr. Goldstein will receive the support of everyone in Juneau in helping to make the new Goldstein Building a credit not only to Juneau, but to all of Alaska. Mr. Goldstein has faith in Juneau, and Juneaws people will return that faith Exclusion Repeal (Washington Post) The War Department has come at last to a tardy !calling for fou cards .

Behind the exclusion lay a fear, blown up to nightmare dimensions by certain West Coast Congressmen, that disorders might arise if citizens of Japanese ancesiry were permitted to return to their homes in the Pacific States. These Congressmen did little eredit either to the potency of to tine um{u('ratic char- including blackout regula- their State governments or acter of the people they represent.

In Poston, Ar pve al weeks ago, a barber ejected from his shop an American Army private, wounded in Italy after two years' service overseas and walking with a crutch because the man's forebears had come from Japan. In Hoed River, Oreg., the American Legion erased from its county war memorial the names of 16 Americans now serving in the United States Army many happened to be of Japanese descent. Th are symptoms of a spreading callousness about the rights of individuals in land founded upon the doctrine of human equality and des ated to the pres- ervation of individual freedom.

But the Government is strong enough, we think, and the great mass of the American people are democratic enough, to bring into operation at home the great principles for the preservation of which we are waging a war abroad.
