“Uniele Zeb” our Clemson Victory"
Gardener has the following to say
about strawberries: I
“I’m writing you today about the
most delectable of fruits—the straw
berry . . . not only is it appealing to
the eye but it has moi’e Vitamin C
than the orange, grapefruit, cabbage
or tomato. ... I heard one of them
nutritionists say we’re likely to get
eourvy if we don’t get this Vitamin t
C every day—that our bodies don’t
store it, and that we can’t just get a
tag of oranges at Christmas time
and ’spect them to do the job for the j
entire year.
Now you’ll want to set the Blake-
more, Klondike or Aroma in rows 3
feet apart, and plants 1 1-2 feet' in
the row. . . . Set them just as soon
as you can prepare the soil ... . the
earlier the better . . . you don’t want
any buds starting when you set the
plants . . . and set them the depth
they were in the nursery. . . . Pinch
off all the fully developed leaves
when you set them. . . . Now, I be
lieve they tell us if we’d have the
strongest plants and the nicest ber
ries next year, we’ll pinch off the
blooms and net allow the plants to
fruit this first year. . . . But that
depends on whether or not your ap
petite can forego these few lucious
berries you’ll get the first year.
... You won’t get very many the
first year anyway you know. . . . But
why procrastinate, set some plants
now for next year and invite us all
to your house for some strawberry
short cake.”
battleships which now have been re
built and modernized and are of more
use to us than they would have been
in December 1941, when we did not
hive the naval air power anyway to
provide the necessary cover or offen
sive st!ongth to move westward to
ward the Philippines.
The Navy which we now have in
the Pacific is larger than anything
we or any other nation has ever
mobilized in any one theater of ac
tion. It is a navy in which coordina
tion has played a vital part. Army
land-based planes are timed to attack
and defend along with naval air
planes flown from decks of numer
ous cariers.
The American people, and particu
larly the workers in the shipyards,
are to be congratulated for the job
done in building so many carriers.in
such a Short space of time. Our air
craft factories and their personnel
are especially to be commended for
having made .possible their suprema
cy we now possess over vast areas of
the Pacific.
Most significant is the accomplish
ments of our whole naval command.
Admiral King, who became Com
mander in Chief of the Fleet a month
after Pearl Harbor, has put into the
organization of the Navy a determi
nation and an efficiency which is re
flected in the results already at
tained. His genius as an organizer
has given him alraedy an inestimable
place in our naval history.
The country knows little about the
part played by the subordinate com
manders. It knows little, for in
stance, about the skill and tactics of
Admiral Nimitz, whose planning and
resourceful use of every optning of
fered by the enemy made possible the
success of the recent raids. In one
instance—a raid that has resulted
favorably—it is said that Admiral
Nimitz went beyond his plan. Like
a hal'flback who suddenly sees an
even better opening than the football
play itself requires and takes instant
advantage of it, the commander. of
j our Pacific operations caught the
enemy off balance and used the ele-
j ment of complete surprise to the
' great advantage of our side.
C oats an d Suits?
Casualties have been relatively
small. The risks taken have been big.
The people know only the official
words of the communiques, which are
modest and restrained. The naval
victory of the last few weeks in the
Pacific is the greatest in all our his
tory. For we. have sent out an ar
mada of ships and supply auxiliaries
unprecedented in quantity and
strength to operate three to five
thousand miles from our mainland.
Admiral King has reflected the
spirit of the entire Navy in pressing
constantly for more and more ships
and supplies for the Pacific. Given
the ships and the weapons, the Navy
has demonstrated that it can cut
down the length of the war against
Japan, And the remarkable part of
the achievement to date is that the
original nucleus of trained officers
[and crews has been spread out so
[ that we have an efficient Navy in
which 80 percent are boys who have
come in as reserves since the out
break of the war. It’s a Navy of
American youth capable of learning
j quickly and a Navy of experienced
| officers who know how to inspire
them.
BILL WOULD MAKE JAPANESE
SAY WHERE THEY STAND
NAVY MAKES COME-BACK
(By David Lawrence)
The Navy, by its sensational vic
tories of the last few months, and
particularly of the last 2 weeks, has
won back the confidence of the Amer-
' ican people which it lost temporarily
in the Pearl Harbor tragedy of Dec
ember 7, 1941.
It’s the same Navy as then, the
same highly trained though more ex
perienced Navy, but free from the
restraints imposed st the time when,
under our peacetime restrictions, the
Navy had no remain on the defensive
till ah overt act was committed by
another nation.
It may be of little advantage now
to debate why so many of our ships
were concentrated in a harbor and
why the land-based planes of the
Army were not able to get off the
ground in time to mitigate the ef
fects of that attack. But the Ameri
can people know more today about
raids and the difficulties of ward
ing them off. Indeed, While every
effort will be made to protect our
selves against attacks from any
quarters, the public should not be
shocked if the enemy does raid our
newly won bases in the Gilberts and
Marshalls. The enemy has aircraft
carriers, too, and the Pacific Ocean
is big enough for sneak moves when
our own fleet may be returning or is
occupied in force a m< mg other bases.
The achievement in bombing Truk
and later the Marianas is a glorious
one, however, and more than makes
amends for the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor. The Japanese could
not follow up their attack on Hawaii
and gained nothing by it except to
put out of commission some obsolete

Pending in Congress is a bill by
Representative B. W. Gearhart, jjf
Fresno to require all American-born
Japanese to take an oath swearing
allegiance to the United States and
forswearing loyalty to Japan and be
lief in the divinity of the Emperor.
Under provisions of the proposed
law, all citizens of Japanese extrac
tion would have to take the oath pub
licly in naturalization court or face
the alternative of internment and de
portation to Japan after the war.
The text of the oath is such that
anyone sincerely taking it would
have to sever himself from all loyal
ty to Japan, whether that loyalty
was active or merely sentimental.
For it states:
“I repudiate and deny any belief in
the divine character or deific ances
try of the Emperor of Japan or in
any divine mission of the Japanese
i people, the Emperor of Japan or the
1 members of the Yamoto race, and,
in this connection, I denounce and
decry all such pretentions and asser
tions as absurd, ridiculous, unworthy
of acceptance by any save those
bereft of reason, and devoid of com
mon sense.”
While no doubt many Japanese of
disloyal tendencies would be willing
to take the oath with tongue in
Cheek, it would smoke out thousands
of Emperor worshipers whom the
wishy washy procedure of the War
Relocation Authority has failed to
uncover.
For a Japanese to denounce the
deity of the Emperor and the divinity
of the Japanese people would be for
him to lose face and become subject
to the scorn of those who fervently
believe in the holy mission of the de
scendants of the sun goddess.
When the W. R. A. circulated a I
questionnaire among the Japanese in I
the relocation centers asking them to j
swear loyalty to the United States I
and denounce allegiance to Jjapan,
such a large proportion refused to do j
so that the W. R. A. quickly withdrew
the question and merely required
them to promise obediance to the
laws of this country.
This either was a deliberate sleight
of hand or revealed the W. R. A.’s
abysmal ignoran.e of the Japanese,
who are commanded by tradition and
proverb to obey the laws of the
country where they are, regardless of
their heartfelt beliefs and loyalties.
It probably would be discovered
that a surprisingly large number of
American-born Japanese desire to go
to the homeland of their parents.
For instance, Walter Imai, one of
five Tule Lake Japanese brought into
Federal court here last wek on Fed- :
eral liquor charges, asserted frankly |
that while he is American born he is
willing to be sent to Japan.
Imai and those like him should be
accommodated.
In America either during the war
or after, there is no place for those
content to share in the benefits of
this country while their loyalties and
hearts are elsewhere.
Gearhart’s bill certainly is a move
in the proper direction.

Water Camel
Thirst is one enemy of armies
and navies that may be frustrated
by a generous supply of water. Ty
phus, another dreaded plague is an
other enemy that must be subdued
in Africa, in the jungle islands of
the Pacific.
So the “Lister Bag,” more often
called the “water camel,” or just
“camel,” is used. The “Lister Bag”
is a khaki colored canvas bag hav
ing a capacity of about 30 gallons.
It will require many War Bonds
to provide enough “camels” for our
fighting forces at home and abroad.

Beach, New Jersey, also of the

count of how two union men had been
expelled from the union for conduct
“unbecoming to union men.” Their
offense was testing 22 to 24 trucks
a day instead of the union decreed
average of 10 or 12.
How long can we expect our men
in the armed forces to be willing to
die for the nation, if these criminal
abuses of freedom are continued ?
