Some Pointers on Registration

San Francisco's experiences with the military
registration offer some information OF value 10 M.
waii. former Honolulan who served on one OF
the precinct registration boards found that seFerai
onestions which came up and were solved IN Oah
fornia are likely TO arise here
Perhaps that Of most general interest was tne
registration of japanese japanese, not an Aongo
Iians This il particularly noteworthy because the
uestion of how TO register japanese has confront
ed the central board here. In California, where
the antJapanese sentiment has focused, the state
board used discretion and the courteous treatment
of its japanese residents by refusing to adJudge
them Mongolians was recprocated in the assistance
which the Eipponese gave the various boards.
Every japanese who appeared before the boards
had written statement so filed out that no inter
probation was necessary The boards questions
we're written in japanese and opposite them were
the questions and answers in English. TO register
the bearer was thus but matter OF transcription.
The precinct boards informed that the advance
statements had been prepared under the directions
Of the Japanese Association, and that non-members
Of the association were able to secure the same serv
Ice on payment of five cents eGch.
Another point noted as Of interest to Hawaii was
that the answering Of the twelfth question: on.
corning claim for exemption because Of dependent
relatives was ruled not compulsory. It was held
that earlier questions concerning family gave suf
Gent information to cover this in case for patriotic
reasons, the registrant did not wish to ask exemp
ton from service.
The precinct boards also received this emphatic
notification from the state board: Remember you
are at war only with Germany
In SAN Francisco the precinct boards did not find
the expected rush Of work on June 5, registration
day. The largest precinct in the city is said to have
registered only 140 and 1t cost the city but 500 for
the entire day. OF course the various officials all
serYed voluntarily, without pay.
This would Indicate that there viii be no great
pressure Of work on July 81, Hawaiis registration
day At the same time, every possible way to se-
cure full registration should be planned in advance
and brought into operation.
