Many folks will be worried

Un-American
A contemporary gives high praise to the Hood
River Legion "for sticking to its gunsegarding the
Japs."
We grant such an uncompromising stand takes a
certain type of intestinal fortitude. But like the cour
age of "Old Eric," one regrets it could not be devoted
to a better cause. .
THE. U. S. War Department has deplored this Hood
River action on the ground it impairs the morale
of soldiers of Japanese ancestry fighting on the west
ern front, and gives aid and comfort to the enemy in
its effort to make the war in the Far East a race war.
Isn't that a rather serious indictment?
Edward N. Scheiberling, National Commander of
the Legion has officially directed the Hood River
Legion to return the names of these 15 Jap-Legion
members, in good standing, who fought as citizens
in the defense of their country, adding:
"Your action has brought- much unfavorable publicity
and criticism to the American Legion."
It has.
And properly so for the Hood River action Is not
right, is not American, is opposed to every principle
of fair play and tolerance for which the democracies
of the world stand and are now fighting.
B
UT according to the
American Legion Post
able at this time to take any action on restoration of
Japanese-American names'r to its service rolls.
This country is at war with both Germany and Ja
pan. No such action has been taken by Hood River
regarding the Legion members of German ancestry.
The only possible reason therefore must be one of
color of race hatred, contrary to the American iiiu
of Rights and the Constitution. There are literally
hundreds of thousands of men of color black,
brown, yellow, even red
States forces in this war.
Something more serious
be afflicting the officers and members of the Hood
River Post, if they can't see, not only the theoretical
but the practical dangers to the entire war effort,
which this unwarranted un-American and intolerant
action against citizens of this country involves!'
How
We believe that the American worklngman and the
American business man and industrial manager, in co
operation, have won this war. There Is a deep insult, and
deep danger, in subjecting the labor side of this partner
ship to coercion at this late date. We don't like it. And we
don't like any evidence of lack of union objection to it.
This from the Oregonian refers to organized la
bors alleged indifference

We don't get it.
Why SHOULDN'T the
ship be open to coercion, when the exigencies of war
demand it, as President Roosevelt, General Marshall,
Admiral King and others
the case?
Why is it that "deen insult and deen dancer" is
involved when citizens are

sult or no such danger,
idential coercion, as far as shouldering a gun and
going into battle is concerned?

SUBJECTOF TALK
Judge Crawford Tells Rotar
ians of Change Brought
About by Supreme Court.
Changing trends In govern
ment brought about by judicial
decisions of the U. S. supreme
court instead of constitutional
procedure were the subject of a
brilliant address by James W.
Crawford, judge of the circuit
court, before the Medford Ro
tary club Tuesday. Speaking at
the Hotel Medford, Judge Craw
ford pointed to cases in which
the highest court of the land has
reversed previous decisions and
has assumed prerogatives of con
gress in recent actions.
History Is written not only in
the legislative halls but in the
courts of the nation, Crawford
reminded. Should the history of
this country be destroyed, much
of it could be restored by ex
amination ot the supreme court
records. The speaker expresses
the opinion that changes in this
democracy should be made from
time to time to meet changing
conditions but that these changes
should be made through legisla
tive action and not forced upon
the people by unlegislative
means through deeislons of a
court not directly chosen by the
people.
Cites Decisions
In discussing recent action of
the supreme court in which
every branch of human interest
has been affected without bene
fit of congressional legislation.
Judge Crawford cited decisions
dealing with interstate com
merce. The decision handed
down by the court in 1942 deal
ing with the wages and hours
act in New York was singled
out. This places janitors and
elevator operators under the act
when employment is in build-1
ings tenated by people engaged,
in interstate commerce. The in-1
elusion of the business of fire
insurance under interstate com
merce was also cited. By legisla
tive opinion rather than legisla-
flvA nntinn tfin auihnrltv rt V, o
states has been removed and fed
eral controls and restraints im
posed. This defeats the philosophy of
American1 democracy by allow
ing the rule of men to supercede
the rule of law. The privilege
to ammend the constitution must
be a privilege of the people only.
Changes Not All Bad
Judge Crawford emphasized
the fact that changes which
have been recently made have
not all been bad, and that the
people must expect certain waiv
ers of rights in wartime. They
must be sure, however, that the
rights which have been volun
tarily surrendered in this emer
gency will be returned after the
emergency ceases to exist, and
that no "fictional emergency"
will arise to continue the re- (
strain's and controls after the
war.
The supreme court today is
held In less respect by members
of the law profession than at any
time for many years, the speaker
said.
Judge Crawford also express
ed the. opinion that eight years
for any executive to be in office
is the maximum for safe govern
ment. Longer terms tend (o bring
to the highest court a member
ship activated by political philo
sophies and further tends to ser
iously disrupt the checks and
balances which are basic In this
democracy and established un
der the constitution.
Concluding his address, Craw
ford voiced the hope that vet
erans returning from this war
will find jobs In private Indus
try rather than positions on fed
eral payrolls. They should re
turn to assume responsibilities
of government and should be
given the opportunities under a
system of government they know
rather than one of experiment
and judicial decree.
Judge Crawford was Introduc
ed by A. S. Rosenbaum, program
chairman.

TO AID SCENERY
Portland, Ore. (U.R) More
seedling trees for free planting
along northwest highways have
been made available by forest
industries, it has been revealed
by the West Coast Lumbermen's
association.
A half million seedlings of
Port Orford cedar and Douglas
fir will be taken from the stock
of the forest industries tree nurs
ery at Nisqually, Wash., as the
Industrial forest land owners of
Oregon and Washington enter
into their third year of a pro
gram of planting unstocked
areas of private timberlands.
One of the projects Is planting
a row of trees 10-deep along the
barren wastes of the huge Tilla
mook burn. The trees are being
planted by. high school boys on
weekends, because other labor is
scarce. Within a few years, the
small trees will grow up and
screen off the burned areas. As
soon as labor is available, pri
vate reforestation of the burned
area will be started but the road
side tree belt has been under
taken as a beautifying measure.
The Wilson Creek highway
also traversing the Tillamook
burn, will be another scenic road
to be planted. Salvage logging
has removed many of the black
ened trees on the hills along the
road but recurring fires led to
the plan of having a screening
belt planted.
The lumbermen's association
has offered its resources and
trees to schools and other groups
interested in joining the move
ment to beautify the highways.

Wanted Education Not
Militarism
To the editor: Mr. Burmles
ter's letter in Monday's paper is
a strong plea for a great im
provement in our educational
system, but not for compulsory
peacetime military training.
Everything he makes a plea for
is splendid as long as it is done
in the American way. Certainly
many of our young people need
additional religious training and
vocational training of the most
practical kind but it must be
done in the traditional American
voluntary way or this country
will be something less than.
America.
v What about the way we teach
our young people? I believe the
reason our educational institu
tions fall short of our ideals Is
obvious: if our schools were
given one small fraction of the
money the army and navy is al
lowed we would have a wonder
fully improved educational sys
tem In a few short years!
Just recall that we voters have
no choice about taxes for mili
tary use, but when it comes to
school taxes we can protest
against all high taxes and vote
the school tax down. As a re
sult our boys and girls are
taught, by underpaid and some
times undertrained teachers and
our school facilities are tragic
ally limited, and out-dated.
As for the teaching our young
people the self-discipline requir
ed for a democracy by teaching
them military discipline I
doubt if we would get any dif
ferent results than have France,
Germany, Italy and Japan from
their military training of all
young people.
Military training provides ex
cellent training for citizenship
In a totalitarian state but it does
not prepare men and women for
the taking of individual respon
sibility nor for the personal
initiative a democracy so deeply
needs.
May I suggest that education
