that in most eases It would be impos-
sible Cor the Federal government to pun
ish violators of treaty rights where pub
lie sentiment in the communities where
the offenses were committed upheld the
Violations
Take, for example the lynchiHg of Ital-
ians in New Orleans after they had been
acquitted of murder by a jury. Had the
Federal government then interviewed and
attempted to secure convictions of the
mob leaders, who were prominent citi-
zens, its work would have come TO moth
ing for the reason that no jury in New
Orleans would have declared the lynchers
to be guilty
The San Francisco case is somewhat
different, although Il is supposed here
that public sentiment there is strongly
/ with those who have insisted upon the
exclusion of japanese from the public
I schools. In this instance. however. the
! government hopes, should IL determine
that treaty rights have been violated, TO
/ enforce an observance of those rights
through the issuance OF iniunctions or
other civil legal processes by the Federal
courts in California. What its next move
would be, If the Federal courts found it
! impossible with the present means at their
I command. TO enforce their orders, is
! something that nobody in authority here
