One of the first acts of the Japanese in the Philippines was to destroy an Ameican library. The policy of the Nazis and the Fascists toward libraries, librarians, writers of books, and readers of books has long been familiar to us. The Japanese by their act of barbarism adopted the Nazi policy for themselves. But they did more than that. They brought directly home to Americans the menace of this war to American civilization, American culture, and American books--as well as those who use American books, produce American books, and care for American books. Most of us have realized for a long time that we Americans were not immune. The fact is now made apparent to all of us.--Elmer Davis, Director, Office of War Information.
