COAST RESIDENTS AGAINST RETURN
OF JAPANESE, ACCORDING TO SURVEY
   The  Pacific coast does
not want evacuated Japanese 
to return. 
   The following figures,
released by the American
Institute of Public Opinion,
will blast from the minds 
of many evacuees their at- 
titude, "After the war, back 
to the coast for me.." The   
figures are the result of 
a survey conducted in the
five states in which the 
Japanese problem was most    
acute--California, Oregon, 
Washington, Nevada,  and
Arizona. 
  The questions put to 
the voters and their an- 
swers: 
   “Do think the Japa-
nese who were moved inland
from the Pacific coast
should be allowed to return
when the war is over?”
Would allow all……………29%
Allow only citizens...……24%
Allow none…………….……31%
Undecided……………….….16%
   “What should be done
with them?”
Send them to Japan….…70%
Leave them inland………30%
   “Would you be willing
to hire Jpanaese servants
to work in your home after
the war is over?”
Yes………………………………26%
No……………………………….69%
Undecided…………………….5%
   "Would you be willing
to trade at a Japanese-
owned store after the war?"
Yes………………………………38%
No……………………………….58% 
Undecided.........................4%
   Throughout the area there
is an almost unanimous
public approval of the
Army's action in evacuating
the Japanese from the coast
and sending them to camps.
   Of those questioned, 97
per cent said they thought
the Army did the right
thing, while two per cent
disapproved.   One per cent
was undecided, according
to the report.
