As the handling of Mexican labor involves treaties between the United States and Mexico, it had been already decided that the Federal agencies would handle this phase of the program. Interstate Labor - which involves sending of labor into Nevada from other states. This category includes the con- troversial matter of Japanese labor. Japs in concentration camps have been placed there by Government authorities and Govern- ment should retain supervision whether they are in or out of camps. State agencies should not shoulder responsibility for the care the Government requires of Japanese.
State agency has no police power or police protection to offer.
If certain communities want Jap labor let them take responsi- bility, and obtain sanction of County Boards for protection, etc. The people of this State generally do not want Japs. Since the Government wishes to retain partial supervision over foreign labor, I see no good reason why they should not retain supervision over Jap labor. I consider Japs an alien enemy class, which is more reason that the Government should supervise them. The University should and would cooperate in the fullest under the present agreement to place needed labor.
