After Pearl Harbor the army :leaned them out and locked them JP in concentration camps as a neasure of safety. Today large numbers of those laps the army locked up are being liberated and colonized in manv pn. iions of the United States, much to iie dissatisfaction of the people that ire their new neighbors. ' I lived in Chicago for many years, nore than half a century. My home was on the South Side of the city, Hacing the lake. It was a desirable ! residence section within the city limits. lim-its. Near and around me were many ;xcellent homes, fine apartment buildings and residential hotels. H7Hhin klnnlr r.t ..,1 I M 1 :here is today a colony of Japs. The lederal government is said to have strongly indicated to the owner of Ian apartment house that he must provide space for a Jap family. vVhen he did it was not one family, put several that moved into the one apartment. White families moved )ut, and that apartment building i;oday houses a colony of Japs. Men and women are finding jobs, at low wage scales, as house servants, much to the satisfaction of those for whom they work, but very much to Ihe dissatisfaction of the people of '.he neighborhood in which the Japs live. On Kenmore and Kenwood avenues, ave-nues, near the campus of the Uni-' rersity of Chicago, other Jap colonies colo-nies have been located by the same nethods and with the same results. Hie whites are moving out and real I jstate values are going down. Since World War I, when Chicago txperienced a great influx of southern south-ern Negroes, the South Side of the ;ity had what was considered a Ne-jro Ne-jro problem. The colored people 3id not advance into the sections :hat have now been captured by the Japs. . The whites say the Negroes would have been preferable. That is one point on which Chicago, Chi-cago, and other metropolitan centers, cen-ters, have lost the peace. FARM CREDIT SINCE 1933 OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS no farm owner, tenant farmer or share-cropper need have been without with-out a government loan. The one quality needed to secure it was persistence. per-sistence. The fly in the ointment was finding the particular bureau, administration, corporation or association asso-ciation that would make a loan on what the applicant had to offer, or . .l - mhinh hp wanted Or LI1C yuiuac l; It. Loans could be had for the pur- j pose of buying a farm, paying off ' a mortgage, purchase of machinery or live stock, erecting farm buildings, build-ings, buying seed, or to pay the grocer gro-cer or the doctor, if you found the right source from which money was available. From one of the more than 10 sources from which , the farmer could get money, the Farm Credit administration, 6,096,0 tarmers borrowed $9,631,900,000 between be-tween 1933 and December 31, 1943. Of that amount $2,423,000,000 was still on the books at the end of last year- . . .
