House GOPs
SajSeriate
Plan Assured
r WASHINGTON,, May IS-(JP
Jubilant and confident, house re
publicans Saturday claimed suffi
cient strength to lay the senate
approved skip-a-year tax bill on
President Roosevelt's d e s k by
Wednesday, while several demo
cratic foes pinned their hopes on
a veto.
The republican shortcut strate
gy centered around a move to fin
ish congressional action on the
modified Ruml bill without send
ing it to a -conference committee
for reconciling differences be
tween the senate and house tax
measures.
This could be done by, adoption
of a house motion to- recede from
Its position and concur with the
senate.
On the last test, the house re
jected the Ruml plan by the slim
margin of 206 to 204 before adopt
ing a compromise, cancelling the
obligation for the last year of
about 90 per cent of the taxpay
ers. The senate bill, on the other
hand, would abate taxes for vir
tually everyone, cancelling indi
vidual levies for either this year
or last, whichever are lower.
Some legislators, discounting
the republican shortcut plans, said
the,procedure to be followed prob-
aoiy would take these steps:
i An agreement, to send the
bill to conference committee.

to instruct the house delegates to
accept the Ruml plan. If adopted,

ierence committee to remove tech

such expulsion. The Japs are not
here in such numbers as to be
menace. The expulsion act bars
further Immigration, and even If
it were repealed, -the number ad
mitted under the quota system
would be insignificant.
It is not necessary to expel the
Japanese; the aliens will die in
their age, and the native-born,
for -the most part, will become
thoroughly Americanized. , f
There Is another argument
against any such drastic treat
ment, and that is, we want to do
business with Asia when this war
is over. If the Japs will get this
world conquest idea out of their
heads we can do business with
them, and of course China will be
eager for trade. That will mean
we must have Americans ; resid
ing or traveling in the Orient. They
must be safe and free to live or
travel under reasonable regula
tion. If we expel all Japanese then
we become a "hermit kingdom" a
was Japan prior to 1856. It does
n't make sense.
The people in Salem have had
association with the Japanese re
siding here over a considerable
term of years. It was the Japs who
made Lake Labish from a bog in
to a garden spot. Their children
went to high school and univer
sity here, caused little or no trou
ble, participated in school activ
ities and were accepted as coming
Americans. They were all evacu
ated under the military order,
most of them going to Tule lake,
and obeyed the order without re
sistance.
I am going- to quote from a per
sonal letter from one of the Jap
anese American girls written to
Salem friends. This girl went to
high school and college here. She
writes:
"You ask how we are getting
along here in camp. We have no
complaint. We are well treated,
comfortable quarters and plenty
of food; but we do miss our friends
in Salem and long for our former
home.
"It is needless to say we are
very much disturbed and fright
ened regarding the possibility of
being expelled from this country
after the war, , and have heard
this would apply to we American
born as well as our parents.
"How could this be? My broth
ers are in the army fighting for
America. This is my country, my
Oregon and Salem my home.' I
love them beyond all else. I know
nothing of my parents' homeland,
their religion or their mode of
living. I have not a single thing
in common with the people there.
This may sound heroic, but . the
thought that I might be forced to
give up the flag I love,' the only
country I know, and the freedom
I was born to, in exchange for life
in a strange land, among strange
people whose customs and religion
I abhor, well death here would
be preferable. I know this is the
feeling of a great many of us." I
This is a Japanese American
from' Salem expressing: her own
feelings. I know of others equally
loyal to this country of their birth.
Most of -the Japanese Americans
(outside of those going , back to
Japan for education) are growing
up Americans in spirit as well as
dress. Assuming the war is set
tled on a satisfactory basis I think
the Japanese should be permitted
to come back and resume residence
here. We got along all right with
them before, and can again if the
passions of race prejudice are not
fanned to flame.

WASHINGTON,; May, 15
The first of a series of "united na
tions conferences on vital prob
lems .-growing out of the jrevuar
period of economic and political
nationalism and the war itself
opens at Hot Springs, Va next
Tuesday, where representatives, pf
43 governments begin discussion
of ways of freezing , the post-war
world from want of food.
It will be the first world ga
theriag of governments en a tru
ly global scale since the swan
song session late la 193 of the
leagae of nations a body that
failed to establish and maintain
a system of world political and
economic order.
Described simply as a confer
ence on food and agriculture, the
uvt fiuisa muic cuutu utra out.
I its sponsors gay, to be one of the
I most significant gatherings of its
1 kind in history. It could, they say,
I point the way to a new world or-
I der an order providing a much
higher standard of living for mil
lions whose lives are plagued by
hunger, ill health, and ignorance.
The basic problem facing the
conference is the fact that up
wards of two-thirds of the world's
peoples rubs 1st on diets inadequate
for healthful and productive liv
ing. Paralleling this condition Is
the existence of food productive
resources ample to provide all
with plenty of good food if ways
could be found to harness them.
Often la the past, hare sup
plies of. food accumulated in
warehouses, unci because
hungry persons did net have the
money io bay them. As a eonoo
auenee, the producers of foods
themselves went ta want of In
dustrial products ' because they
could not sell the products of
the soiL .
As indicated by the agenda of
the conference, the food parley
wiU try to work out ways of solv
ing this seeming dilemma of want
amid potential plenty,
