Thus the Chicago Tribune in its front page head- line informed its readers last week when the story of the execution of some of the interned American airmen who raided Tokyo a year ago was released by the Off of War Information. The Chi-Trib Washington correspondent carried in full the quotations of Representative Stewart who ad- vocated that the Army should intern all Japanese in this country and that the American-born should be de- prived of citizenship. The Chi-Trib was the only newspaper in Chicago to incite local citizens to retaliate against American- born Japanese for the alleged crimes committed by the enemy. The liberal Chicago Sun, published by Marshall Field, played up the story of the execution, as did other papers, but it balanced the news with the story of American-Japanese combat unit in Mississippi buying $100,000 in war bonds to avenge the slain airmen. enemy. Indignation spread throughout the city as the news of the airmen's execution was brought to the people via newspapers and radio. Whatever may have been the feelings of the American people, the absence of retail- ation in this city helps to spread tolerance and broth- erly feelings between all racial groups.

All federal agencies, specifically War Manpower commission, United States Employment service and the War Relocation authority, have made tremendous efforts to place the nisei in defense jobs.
