PHYSICAL EDUCATION
That greater emphasis should .
be placed on physical education 1
in the schools is abundantly just
ified by what draftee rejections
have revealed.
Hundreds of young men have
been rejected by draft board doc- ,
tors or at army induction centers
because of minor defects. Closet
attention to physical fitness would
have made many in this classifi
cation available for service.
Some schools have enforced phy
sical training for all pupils, but i
too often the work of athletic >
coach is devoted chiefly to the
few who take part in competitive
sports.
However, ordinary ath
letic activities should not be in
terrupted or abandoned.
Thousands of boys and girls will
be neeoed for some type of war
activity in the days to come and
now is the time to give them the
neceeteary physical preparation.
JAPANESE PROBLEM
The uprising at Manzanar, the
Japanese camp in California,
where alien Japanese as Ameri
can-born Japanese are being held
for the duration, hats brought pu
blic attention to a condition that
requires
careful
consideration.
This uprising showed dearly that
there are a percentage of danger
ous Japanese in this country. Not
only are they dangerous to every- ■
thing that is American, but they
are dangerous to thoi|$ands of
Japansese who are undoubtedly
loyal citizens.
Apparently the hatred of the
Japanese who caused the trou
ble at Manzanar, is as strong or
stronger toward the Japanese who
are loyal to this country, as It
is toward Americans. Hence the
lives of such Japanese are en-
dangered when they arc confined
in the same locatioij) with the
alien Japanese.
Tlie problem is a most diffi-
cult one when our guvernment is
oblige«! to confine American-born
Japanese as well as alien Japan
ese . As long as dire necessity re
quires such action,
however, it
is evident the two groups must
be segregated.
Furthermore, some method of
procedure must be evolved to give
the loyal Japanese a chance to
prove their loyalty so that they
will not be forced to associate
with the aggressive alien Japan
ese whose avowed purpose is to
sabotage and destroy if given that
opportunity in the United Slates
The people have confidence that
our government will correct this
situation with full consideration
of the safety and humanitarian i
imines involved.

comotlvee, 80.000 freight cars and
2.100.000 tons of slt'cei rail. Rail
road experts point out that this
is the absolute minimum necees
sary to do the job Already delay
in approving the request make»
it improbable that much
new
equipment can be delivered before
late ISM3
In the critical months ahead.
the best brains of ahip|>era and
railroad managements will have
to make up in lioine manner for
lack of maintenance material and
rolling stock. However, the cush
ion of efficiency is getting thread
bare
It cannot continue inde
finitely to fill the widening gap
in our transportation needs.
For twenty years the railroads
have been preparing for a trans
portation emergency.
Railroad
men vowed that the confusion dur
ing World War I. when thousands
of freight cars did duty as ware
houses instead of hauling freight,
would not be repeated. The emer
gency came, an emergency the
magnitude of which cannot be put
down in words.
The vow they
made has not been broken. The
railroad industry hqi kept |>ace
with demand. The railroad men
have told what must be done if
the railroads are to finish the job
of war transportation They know
what they are talking about. They
must have equipment.
That is
elemental.

that even now is perhaps fatally
weakened Hitler's war machine,
impairment of rail transportation.
The load carried by the American
railroads is increasing steadily,
its weight slowly crushing the
life out of tracks and equipment,
much heavier, the necessity for
speed greater because the punch
that will knock out the Axis must
start rolling right here in this
country—on the railroads.
And
still the railroads wait desperate
