DEATH PENALTY
V,I
We don't believe In murder. Now
that the war Is over, we don't be-
lieve In killing Japs Just because
they happen to be Japs. But we
don’t believe that an American boy
who killed a couple of Japs—ap-
parently because he didn’t like Japs
—should have to die for his crime.
All the facts have not been re-
vealed. But the story from Osaka,
Japan, says that the American sol-
dier, a private from New Jersey,
has been condemned to death for
killing two Japs on the eve of his
departure for home. The story goes
on to say that the soldier was drunk
when he did It.
The fact that the soldier was
ready to be sent home shows that
he has probably been overseas a
long time. No doubt he has quite a
batch of discharge points.
This lad very probably didn’t vol-
unteer to go to Japan. And It’s a
good bet that for the past three or
four years he has heard little ex-
cept, "Kill Japs! Kill Japs!" That
he was called Into service to do
Now the country for which he
fought seems to be ready to take
his life. This should not be. The boy
shouldn't have killed the Japanese,
of course, but a lot of things that
have been happenlng^the last five
or six years shouldn’t have been
permitted.
Does the Army want to make an
example of this one poor lad who
was jerked away from his home for
the specific purpose of killing Japs?
The Army probably will resent
editorials like this and claim un-
fairness because all the facts are
not given, y the Army wants the
people to give considered judgment
on things the Army does, the Army
should stop Its practice of with-
holding facts.
On the basis of known facts, the
nation should rise In the strongest
possible protest agalnt the taking
of this American soldier’s life. He
should be punished, yes; but not
shot down by a firing squad
