Decry Return
Of Japanese
WASHINGTON, May 6—West
coast congressmen decided
to take to John McCloy, assistant secretary of war,
•their .fears that permitting
Japanese-American soldiers
to visit that area during
furloughs might lead 'to
violence and infiiteration
of undesireable aliens. '
The first move of the
representatives, it was
stated, would be to talk
with McCloy about the A.War
department policy disclosed
by him in a letter to .Representative Poulson, (R-
Calif.), chairman of a
California committee investigating the situation,
said that if Japanese were
permitted to-return to the
coastal areas and any sabotage were committed, their
safety might be jeopardized, without regard to
whether the Japanese were
guilty.

to remain, as it were, on

under the Constitution, the
Civil war was fought in

"...we think that the
spirit of tolerance which

Once again "we are finding
that bigotry "does not flourish on prairie soil."
