But suddenly this Empire City

barbed wire to pair of pants. And
today 1t begins to shape up as the
closest thing to an international

the facts. they are going to CON
tinue to remain in the dark. Even
Congressman and Senators have to
be informed about the record OF
the Nisei soldiers and the contri-
buttons to the war effort made by
persons of japanese ancestry on
the home front.
We believe the Nisei servicemen
responded TO the call not merely
because it was their duty. Those
who volunteered from behind the
barbed wire fences of the reloca-
ton centers wanted to prove the
loyalty of the Nisei and to win a
greater security for themselves
and their family members.
The combat record has won them
recognition. The loyalty is unques-
toned. However, the big and i'm
portant task now is to win equal
rights. The problems must be pre-
sented The plea for fair play
must be made. Rights are not
going to be presented on a platter.

was obviously incomplete, partially
out of date, and somewhat mac

isolated persons without agency OF

Seattle. On the other hand, Al
though the catalogue was incom-

japanese Americans in Seattle were
residing. japanese Americans have
tended to congregate in residential

despite the prejudices and dis
examinations. And events and de-
velopments show that there is
hope. Everything depends upon
how hard we strive to win a place
for ourselves.
We believe the sentiments ex-
pressed by the Nisei CT is the
misguided thought of one who IS
trying to find his place in civilian
lie. 1t may be difficult for man
who has been in uniform and who
may have been a member OF the
glorified 442nd or the Tooth Bat
talon to find that he is no longer
a hero but just plain citizen.
We hope to see the Nisei ex-
servicemen joining all the organi-
cations which are liberal. those
which are willing to stand for
equal rights and fair play. We
want to see them join the Ameri-
can Legion. the Veteran of For
eign Wars. the AVG, Amvets. and
others which their buddies have
joined We are expecting to see
the Nisei who fought for their
country to assume the leadership
of their community and fight for
the fair and equal treatment of all
persons of Japanese ancestry IN
this country. BY attaining their
objectives will they have the sat

to extend their search for desirable
vacancies into areas which men,
bers of the Japanese minority pre-
viously did not occupy. Occasional
discussions of experiences with
restrictive covenants and proper
ty holders resistance seem to in
dictate the existance of such a
pressure toward outward move
ment. japanese Americans are
now also distributed in fifty-eight
family units and eleven dormitory
units in various public housing
projects, most of them in outlying
areas of the city.
Because of the evident concern
In the community regarding hous-

questions relating to these condi-
lions were asked of the people in

attitude of an acceptance of the

Economic Importance of
Nisei
The most radical changes in the
community have occurred in the &C.
cupational status of the popula-
ton. One change of major i'm
portance is the decline in the pro-
portion of the labor force con-
stituted by the Issei. In 1910 there

ness of the file of addresses was
subject to independent test. These
considerations led to the use of
the known addresses as the uni
verse from which TO sample.
Assuming the completeness of the
file of addresses, several advanta-
ges accrued from the use of the
address as the sample unit. In
the first place since every person
residing at any address sampled
would be included in the enumer-
alton, the tendency to under esti-
mate the dependent cateeories of
the popoulation was corrected. In
the second place, other persons
such as county and state depend
ents, retired person, hospitalized
persons, or anyone unlikely to have
oorganizational affiliations or rea-
son to seek WRA assistance, had
better chance of being included
in the sample.
Stratification by Census

tracts of a polytechnic area, with

tracts A five-fold qualification
by census tracts-of tracts K, o,
P. MO, and "all others"-was
therefore used for sampling pur-
poses. Because of the variations
in the SIZE of the residential units
being sampled, second stratifi-
cation by number of families per
address was also used. These
numbers were roughly determined
by sorting out the individual cards
to show the number of surnames
at each address. On the assump-
ton that each surname represented
a single family, five strata were
defined as follows: Residential
units having one-two, three five,

, A NISEI CT
: An interesting conversation
I TRANSFERRED at local Japanese eat
ing place sometime last week. A
Nisei excl who claims to be at
tending the University of Utah and
registered with one OF the public
speaking classes approached a
JACLer who was having dinner
with his family
The CT wanted the JACL and
the ADO to cease all their activi-
ties In Washington, D. C. He
claimed that If equality was not to
be granted without fighting for It
after the Nisei soldiers had sacri-
need SO much, 1t was hopeless. He
believed tnat everything will be
given in due course. There was
no necessity for lobbying.
This EXCL further claimed that
all of his buddies felt the same rs
he did: there was no future for
persons of Japanese ancestry IN
this country.
We do not know who his COM
rades were at the battlefront or
who belong to this group at the
university with the same ideas.
But it seems to be tragic that one
who has given SO much for the
future of his country and for the
welfare of all persons of Japanese
ancestry should assume such a de-
featis attitude.
All of us are losing the services
and support of the strongest cham
picns when our eX-servicemen say
that there is no hope if we have
to fight for what we believe to be
right and justice. Those who wore
the uniform are the ones who can
speak for lis the best. However.
they must have the conviction and
knowledge of the problems CT
winch they speak.
The article which Larry Tajiri
wrote in the early days of the
post-evacuation periods, "Democ-
racy Corrects It's Mistakes. seems
to be the thought which the Gil
should read. The American public
is fair minded. But it is self-cen-
tered. Thus we still have people
throughout the nation who do not
know that citizens and aliens of
Japanese ancestry We're all evacu-
ated from their homes on the West
Coast. There are those who do not
know that persons of Japanese an
ceStry born in this country are
citizens.

Population Chacteristics
The present population of the

estimated at less than 4,700 persons
which is approximately two-third.
of the 6,975 that were present in
1910. Some of the loss was due
to the high death rate of the ag-
ing Issei and is projection of tho
declining trend of the Seattle po-
pulation that has been observable
since 1924, but the more important
factor in the decrease was the
sizeable eastward migration of ia
panese and Japanese Americans
that was precipitated by the eva
cuation and the WRA relocation
program.
The eastward movement which
occurred mostly during the war in
response to the WRA relocation
program tended to be selective
migration involving more of the
Nisei of the fifteen to thirty age
categories than the Issei of the Nj
sci children, more of the unmar-
ried and the married with small
families than those with large ia
miles. and more of the economi-
.. cally independent than of the de-
| pendent. Hence, it has been sug-
gested that the evacuee population
returning to the Pacific Coast, be-
ing heavily weighed with those
who remained in the relocation
centers until the year of center
closure, would tend to show a high
percentage of Issei, and a short
age of Nisei in the twenty to forty
age period. The data for Seattle,
however, does not bear out this
hypothesis. Fifty-nine per cent
of the Japanese American popu-
lation of Seattle in 1910 were ma
tive born, while about IS per cent
today are native born. (See Ia

The historic migration of the

japanese ancestry prior to the war
This population suffered a major

years later, in January. 1945, start
/ ed the gradual return to Seattle
OF almost 400 of these displaced
persons but their return was not
without serious problems of eco
nomic and social readjustment and
of adaptation to the altered con-
ditions in the city. Hence, while
the community today bears a con-
tinuity to the community that was
here before, pronounced changes
also mark its present features.
This paper is an effort to describe
some of these changes, especially
with reference to its population
composition, geological distribution,
housing conditions. oecupational
structure, and general organiza-
tional aspects.
Since no data on the returned
population existed which would
permit of a comparison with the
available data for the pre-war po-
pulation. the first concern of the
study was to undertake sample
survey which would provide the
necessary information. The sampl-
ing methods chosen. which is des-
cribed below. was selected from
consideration of its facility in un-
dertaking. Responsiveness, and ap-
parent reliability.
A METHODOLOGY
The sampling method involved
the use of the address as the
samphng unit. @and required for
