THE Japanese colonization problem
l. is moving swiftly and inexorably
to crisis in the United States.
1t has come to head in Della
ware where mass meetings of citizens
have denounced the importation of
japanese farm workers released
from segregation centers by the War
Relocation Authority,
1t is coming to head in Colo
RADIO where the release of japanese
from relocation centers has raised
the menace of japanese domination
in the most fertile agricultural
regions of the state.
1t has reached its most serious
proportions in California, where
more than 500 evacuated japanese
have already been returned to a
region from which all japanese were
originally removed for reasons Of
NATIONAL SECURITY.
THE most DANGEROUS situation
l. created by the problem of return
ing japanese unquestionably exists
in California and other West Coast
states.
The considerations of national
security, Which caused and Justified
and compelled the removal of the
japanese in the first place, still pre-
vail and are still paramount.
We are still at war with Japan.
There is a continuing danger,
according to military authorities,
tHSt the armed forces of Japan might
attack and raid the West Coast.
That was the dangerous proba-
bility that persuaded and commanded
the war department and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation to evacuate
the more than 100000 japanese from
the West Coast.
THESE authorities honestly knew
Il and frankly acknowledged that
they could not determine which Jap
anese were loyal and which were dis
loyal.
They could not afford to take
chance, and especially could not
afford to make a MISTAKE.
So they wisely and properly and
promptly evacuated ALL of the
japanese.
The only alternative would have
been to employ substantial military

q National Problem

and investigative forces to police and
watch the japanese permitted to
remain, and thus to divert substantial
manpower and equipment from the
war itself.
THE war department and the bu-
Il reau of investigation very
soundly rejected this alternative.
But now the War Relocation
Authority has given them no choice
in the matter.
1t is steadily releasing japanese
from the relocation centers, in spite
of the fact that a means of distin
gushing the loyal frora the disloyal
still does not exist.
1t is distributing the released
japanese to Delaware and Colorado
and other states where they are not
wanted and are resented.
It is returning hundreds of them
to California, and compelling the
army and the bureau of investigation
to assume the responsibility and
burden of preventing them-if pos
sible-from carrying out the pro-
grams of sabotage and espionage
originally feared and originally
frustrated.
THIS is a wholly unnecessary bur
Il den for the army and the bureau
of investigation.
1t is foolish thing to do because
the utmost watchfulneSs cannot be
relied upon to prevent enemy acts
which may impair the war effort and
cost American lives.
1t is not even in the interest of
the Japanese themselves, because
they are more unwelcome and more
bitterly resented on the West Coast
than in the rest Of the country; and
are likely to encounter the antago-
nisms that are insuperable barriers
to usefulness and happiness.
The practical and patriotic thing
to do with japanese in this country,
as long as the war lasts, is to keep
them away from danger to us and
injury to themselves.
The war department and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
accomplished that practical and
patriotic purpose once, and are now
having it nullified by the War Relo-
cation Authority.

CORE of the business.
For who will Judge and determine
the nature of such provisions in
future treaty? Who will determine
the nature and extent of the "cOm-
mercial and strategic requirements"
which must be satisfied before an
Independent Palestine can come into
existence?
And what if the requirements of
Palestine as Judged by its people do
not quite tally with those of the
British Empire as judged by your
people?
Will you then withhold freedom
and independence until they have
reached agreement" with you by
submitting to your will?
Whose interest, then, is to be
paramount? Who, in short, are to be
the real masters of that country
they or you?
Surely, to ask these questions is
TO answer them.

Having induced the United States
and other powers to waive their
claims to commercial opportunities
and strategic advantages in Palestine
in favor of the jewish people and
their national home-you now pro-
pose TO APPROPRIATE SUCH
RIGHTS, BENEFITS AND
PREROG'ATIVES TO YOUR
SELVES BY AN EXCLUSIVE
ARRANGEMENT.
Lo and behold: The JeDish Ma
tional Home under international
mandate has become a British
colonial possession by grace of God!
A Nd now, my friend, do YOU
n wonder that, despite unfeigned
admiration for your sterling quail
tiles, British intentions are OFTEN
QUESTIONED and British deciara-
tons somewhat at a discount among
the plain people Of this country?
Here they have an object lesson.
Here they see the foreign and

moving in mysterious ways their
wonders to perform
Here they see a great trustee
divesting himself of his trust and
CONVERTING TO HIS OWN USE
AND ADVANTAGE the rights and
interests Of another solemnly COM
mitted to his keeping.
Among case-hardened diplomats
such doings cause little connection,
hardly ripple. The process is
familiar on the international stage

doned.
