Incidentally
	 by  Sueo Sako
   The favorable effect of
Ambassador JosephGrew's re-
cent plea that a distinction
be made between enemy aliens
and loyal Americans of Jap-
anese descent is becoming
more  and more  noticeable.
   Jumping on the bandwagon
and supporting the nisei
cause was the Minneapolis
Star Journal in its editor-
ial  of Nov.   23.
   It  said  impart:
   "Undoubtedly, Mr. Grew's
vigorous words were evoked
in part by public reaction
to the trouble early this
month at the Tule Lake, Cal-
ifornia camp where disloyal
Japanese are segregated.
The careful, factual job
which most newspapers did
in reporting what actually
happened there was tarnished
by the colored accounts
published  by a few newspa-
pers on the Pacific coast
and by the Hearst press
elsewhere, and by inflamma-
tory treatment of the epi-
sode   on the   radio.
   "The happenings at Tule
Lake ought not to be allowed
to reflect upon the more
than 100,000 loyal persons
of Japanese origin among us-
most of whom are citizens,
all of whom are as eager as
the rest of us to see an
United Nations victory and
to have  a part  in  it.
   "The Japanese-Americans
have a higher percentage of
men in our armed forces
(10,000) than any other ra-
cial group.   Before the war
they had a smaller crime
percentage than any other
group. They had a higher
per cent of their young
people in college. Almost
none aver were on relief.
Secretary Stimson is author-
ity for the statement that
there has been no known case
of sabotage by Japanese in
Hawaii, either on Dec. 7,
1941, or since.   The FBI
says there has been no known
case of sabotage by the Jap-
anese on the  Pacific   coast.
   "SURELY THIS IS PROOF TO
ANY INTELLIGENT AMERICAN
THAT SUSPICION AND DISTRUST
OF THOSE OF JAPANESE ORIGIN
AMONG  US SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY
APE OF JAPANESE DESCENT ARE
AS UNWARRANTED A3 DISTRUST
OF ALL PERSONS  AMONG  US WHO
ARE OF GERMAN, ITALIAN, RU-
MANIAN, BULGARIAN, FINNISH
OR HUNGARIAN STOCK."
