Justice for the Nisel
Prom the Philadelphia Record.


The record of the Nisei-American
citizens born of Japanese mothers and
fathers-speaks for itself. The vast ma.
jority OF them have been patriotic
Americans. They have fought for their
country, and in many cases died for it.
They have bought War Bonds, given
blood to the Red Gross. Many have
been decorated for bravery.
Now a group of them are giving
American soldiers special training In
how to fight the Japanese.
In view Of this record, the attitude Of
such groups as the Japanese Exclusion
League Is hard to understand. What
more do they ask of a man than 100
per cent loyalty to his country?
The Nazi-like racial theories they
espouse are nowhere more effectively
refuted than by the fact that these
Nisei showed, when the test came, that
loyalty to country was stronger than
blood and ancestry.
Such groups as the Exclusion League
have been attacked in Stars and Stripes
by the soldiers who best know the war
record Of the Nisei.
It burned up Stars and Stripes to
know that families Of the Nisei battalion
which rescued Texas division cut of
by the Germans were being beaten up
back home. How can any decent Amer.
lean feel otherwise?
