Editor, The Review:

When I learned from last week's Review that one of your subscribers had cancelled because of the soundness and tolerance of your editorial policy, I made it a personal responsibility to secure a new subscriber to take his place. My friend's check and address are enclosed. I am confident that there are among your readers enough who appreciate the justice and far-sighted wisdom of your attitude to make it possible for us to replace with a new subscriber every one lost in this way, if each one of us will just make it a personal responsibility to do so. You may count on me for such help as I can give in this connection.

By pursuing an attitude of sympathetic understanding and fairness toward our American citizens of Japanese ancestry, and our friendly aliens who have for many years chosen the American way of life, you are making an important contribution to the real peace which must follow this war in order that its winning may not have been in vain. It is not sufficient to win the war--our tragic experience since World War I proves that. We must also win a real and lasting peace. And in the meantime we must not lose our sanity, our ability to distinguish between the guilty and the innocent, the loyal and disloyal. Blind indiscriminate hate, fear and suspicion has not been ordered or encouraged by the President or the Army.

More power to you in your worth-while efforts--May your excellent newspaper gain two new subscribers for each one lost in this way.

ORVILLE ROBERTSON,
Battle Point.

Arrived here yesterday afternoon at 12:20 p.m. The trip was wonderful; there were so many interesting things to see on our way.

This place is so hot at day and cold at night; so different from dear old Bainbridge.

The place is still under construction so everything's a mess yet. Haven't much good news to write yet but I do hope when I write again there will be some good news to tell our friends on the Island.

We're all unsettled yet. Probably it'll take quite a while to get everything straightened.

Been here only a day but know we all long for home and our friends.

The weather, the dust, the inconvenience, we just can't readjust ourselves to it.

Please thank all our friends on the Island for everything they have done for us. I hope in the near future, we'll all meet again.

This is just a short letter but you'll hear from us again.

Well, we arrived safely and in good spirits. The weather down here is quite warm so all of us are not doing too well. It's going to be a lot worse, later on.

We are living in barracks that are divided into four large rooms. Each room has room for 10 army cots only and we are allowed1 room per family. We eat in a large mess hall and we get enough to eat even if they sling it at us.

As they are planning to put 40,000 people in here you can see that everything is not ready yet. The ground is very dry and dusty. There "just ain't no valley," the way I figure, and the only water I've seen yet comes out of a faucet.

All in all, we were quite disappointed when we arrived but everybody is taking it quite well. If the berry pickers can take it, so can we.

We certainly had a swell time on the train. The soldiers were very friendly and nice to us. If they represent a cross section of the Army, we do not have to worry about them. We had Tourist pullmans and swell meals. I believe we were allowed $3.00 per day for meals.
