REPORT OF CHAIRMAN OF COORDINATING COMMITTEES:
?lr. Walter Tsukamoto's report in brief was as follows:
"Northern California is divided into four regions;
namely, Bay Region, Coast, Central and Sacramento
region. The different regions hold meetings to
discuss problems individually. Purpose of the coun-
■ - cil is to function until it no longer becomes prati-
': J ■ eal to meet. Since JACL is the only organization of
national scope to handle evacuation it is very important that we keep a united front."

REPORT OF NORTHWEST DISTRICT:
Mr. James Sakamoto made this report as follows:
"Mr. President, I just want to say this as a matter
of record. We had to give you a report of the JACL
only the Northwest District Council. I would like
to give it to you in detail, but as also mentioned
as a matter of record, we say that whatever we passed at,the 1940 convention has been followed through
except for financial obligations. We speak now more
about the war and we must realize that we are at war.
It's dawning upon us with evacuation coming on.
Since December 7th, the northwest chapter has taken
the leadership in Tacoma, Portland, Seattle, Yakima
Valley, Wapato, including Yakima Valley, Hood River
and White River Valley. Emergency defense council
combining efforts of Tacoma, and Puyallup has been
started with emergency defense councils in Seattle
and Pierce County. The JACL rented an office when
the TFR-300 forms came to the Federal Reserve branches and handled answering the questions that had
to be answered."
"Yakima Valley is not a prohibited area entirely and
not concerned with evacuation problems, but money is
not loaned to them and they cannot continue farming,
without the borrowing of the usual $30,000.00 or
$40,000.00. Almost three-quarters pf.a million dollars is Tfhat the Japanese farmers used to bring to
Yakima Valley. Relief problems are coming up with
one helping the other out as much as possible. The
Seattle chapter alone is providing for at least i
fifteen families sending them a weekly portion of provisions, and we have continued that ever since the
first week in January."
