"You desecrate the grave of the unknown soldier; neither you, nor any otner man, Knows but that sacred resting place may hold the remains of a de scendent of an enemy nation. We had Japanese-American sol diers in World War I. "You should make haste to replace the names of the loyal American soldiers on the Hood River honor roll and confine your hate complex to the enemy Japanese rather than attempting to imitate the sordid attitudes of those we are fighting." Cozzens wrote that as a mem ber of the American Legion and as a veteran of World War I, 'I know your disgraceful act cannot be condoned by a vast majority of American Legion naires, nor by the lost battalion rescued in this war by Nisei, nor by Lt. Gen. Mark W. Clark, who cited the 100th battalion of Nisei for bravery in Italy." Cozzens identified three of the 16 Japanese-Americans aa Pvt. Eichi Wakamatsu, formerly of Hood River; .Pvt.

In an editorial headed "Let's Look At the Record," the GI newspaper said: . 'For two years the British fought Hitler almost alone. There was a time when the RAF, the British navy, and the Eighth army were the toast of Ameri cans. There was a time when British-American unity was in full stride and going places. British people don't gee up with the Army, and Navy 'Jour nal's slant on Britain's war role. Yet even these facta have been interpreted by some John Bull baiters as a slap at America's war production and America's contribution . to lend-lease. It's part of the rumor rat race. Any thing goes that throws mud on the integrity, loyalty, or inten tions of our British ally. 'We don't know enough about the Inside picture to say wheth er the Army and Navy Journal is right or wrong. But we will say that the record so far is on the side of Winnie Churchill and the British. We are fighting this war beside them. We would like to fight the peace beside them, too." tick with cold the past week. La Vera Cartwright, Ph. M. 2c, haa been on leave.
