available. In Conference with Mr. Neustadt, Mr. Shigekawa obtained
the following results :
Is there any pjjjs^lhllitv of _gjeXtJLnji t^ ?
There is not a possibility in the world.
How about these people who have nothing to eat and no place to
sleep? ;
.There are legal difficulties on this problem, at the present
time; however, everyone is entitled to food and shelter. Beginning Monday the County Welfare Commissidh will have funds
for the Japanese in the State of California in regard to this
matter. However, Oregon and Washington will not be considered
in this matter in other words, the condition will remain as
heretofore.. In order to carry out this plan they have suggested that we bring all Japanese groups together on this problem
in order to disseminate the information and the government
will thus compile data to meet its. own requirements.
Mr. Shigekawa stated that he had requested Mr. W. J. Cecil,
director of State Department of Agriculture, Office #1, to take an
account of the Japanese who are going Into other states, immediately,
as a result of which the California Population Committee will work on
these statistics.
The most important problem at the present time is the question
of where we are going, when we are going and how we are to go. Undoubtedly such questions are for the military authorities, however, the only
reason why these problems have not been completed is because General
DeWitt is very social minded on these problems. Owens Valley has been
suggested by the Federal authorities but proved to be very unsatisfactoi
due to the intense heat.
In regards to the Japanese assets, Mr. Lawler has been appoint
ed the Conservator of Japanese assets and no person can liquidate withoi
his permission.
Mr. Shigekawa informed the Board that all social problems wil:
be taken care by Mrs. Aaron and property problems will be taken care by
Mr. Neustadt, and it is up to us to work out the details within the limits of the Federal authority.
