米国フレンズ奉仕団 日本関係資料（1947−1950）

キーワード：クエーカー、米国フレンズ奉仕団、第二次世界大戦、占領日本、ララ救援物資

はじめに前号の「米国フレンズ奉仕団 日本関係資料（1942－1946）」に引き続き、1947 年から 1950年までの米国フレンズ奉仕団の日本関係資料リストを作成した。前回のリストは主として太平洋戦争中のもので、ほとんどが日系人の強制収容と学生転住転学に関する資料であった。
終戦に伴い、社会産業部門（Social-Industrial Section）の“Japanese-American Relocation”関係資料は 1946 年を最後になくなり、今回の資料は海外活動（Foreign Service）の文書箱にあるものに限定されている。
終戦後、米国フレンズ奉仕団はヨーロッパと日本の復興活動に積極的にかかわったが、戦時中の日系人援助活動とのつながりから、ことにララ救援物資の立ち上げと運営において主要な役割を果たすようになる。ララ救援物資とは 1946 年に結成された「アジア救済公認団体」（LARA : Licensed Agencies for Relief in Asia）の活動を指す。GHQ によるガリオア資金とは別個に、北米の 15 民間団体（宗教団体、社会事業団体、労働団体など）が提携し日本に救援物資を届けるために結成したのが LARA であった。活動期間は 1946 年から 1952 年に及んだ。
今回のリストには LARA の構成団体や関係者（Esther Rhoads, G. Ernest Bott, Edward B. Peacockなど）の資料が含まれている。1
