This bill would extend to the
attorney General the discretionary
powers to cancel the deportation
of aliens, regardless of race or in
admissibility into the United States,
providing that such deportation
would result H. serious economic
detriment to an American citizen
family or a resident spouse or in
cases where the deportable alien
has been in the United States for
seven or more consecutive years.
This legislation is the outgrowth
OF the two-year compaign of the
JACL ti-Discrimination Commit
tee to place prospective deportees
of the japanese race on the same
basis as deportees of other countries
The bill as presently worded IS
Subcommittee redraft of H. R.
1888, a measure drawn up by the
Justice Department as a compre-
hensive amendment to the federal
immigration and deportation laws.
The first redraft approved by the
Subcommittee and reported out to
the full Judiciary Committee con-
tanned the provisions that all pri-
vate bills relating to immigration
matters would be outlawed unless
the Attorney General certified that
no administrative remedy existed
TO take care of the situation and
that Il, bill had real merit. This
redraft y recommitted to the
Subcoms Ca. when the Attorney
General 6, I'VE ed to this section.
After several weeks of study, the
Subcommittee decided to delete
this revision in its entirety in order
that the emergency features of the
bill, those granting the Attorney
General the necessary powers to
cancel the deportations of most
japanese aliens subject to depor-
tation, would not be held up pend
ing a final determination on the
controversial subject of private
bills.
This bill will probably be con-
sidered again by the full Judiciary
Committee in its next executive ses-
sion, Mike Masaoka, national le-
gislative director, was informed.
This is a real victory for our
friends in the Subcommittee" Ma
saoka said. I'VE do not anticipate
any objections to this revised bill
by the full Committee" he added,
because most Of the members
are convinced of the real merit and
necessity for this kind of bill that
would place all aliens on the same
basis for deportation purposes.

The first congressman this ses-
sion to specifically mention per-
sons of japanese ancestry in an
address. the Republican, serving
his first term in the House, de-
clared that he was familiar with
the conditions that this bill III. r.
2768) is intended to correct before
he ever came to Congress. I have
been very much interested i'll it.
81 urge that all members of Con-
gress examine this BILL and l am
sure that they will recognize the
real merits of it," Representative
Twyman said. II am quite sure
that when this bill reaches the
floor of the House of Represen-
tatives it will pass by large ma
jority."
He had printed into the Con-
gressional Record copy of his
letter to Chairman John w.
Gwynne of the Judiciary Sub
committee the bill for the infor-
nation considering the bill for
his colleagues.
III his letter the Illinois con-
gresham urged that the bill be
reported out of the House Comit-
tee on the Judiciary as early as
possible.
Its my sincere hope that this bill
will reach the floor of the House
OF Representative thas session. l
am sure that the majority of Mem
bers of Congress would welcome
an opportunity to vote favoraoly
on this BILL" Representative ivy
man wrote his colleague who is the
chairman of the Subcommittee that
conducted public hearings on the
Evacuation Claims Bill.
As I have indicated to you in
lily oCNCldl NOAlNtl odtiOlio VII Jllt
subject. it is my feeling that the
loyal Americans of Japanese an
ccsJry merit the economic adjust
ments contemplated by II. r. 2768.
The Japanese Americans surprised
everyone by their unusual heroism
during the war, not alone in Italy
and other European theaters of
war, but in the Pacific. 1t has
been demonstrated that the eva
cuation of these people was I'M
necessary, as there has been no
evidence of any sabotage or sub
Versive action. A mistake appears
to have been made, and I am sure
that the people of the United States
would like to provide proper rea-
sonable compensation"
Mr.. Twyman ended his letter
with the hope and trust that you
and the other members of the Com
mittee will give H. r. 2763 prece-
dence over less important legisla-
tion."

INK and BLOOD

A burning hatred of tyranny
has found eloquent expression in
the drawings by the famous ar
fist, Arthur Szyk. Seventy-four
of his drawings, many in full color,
are now being offered in book
form by The Heritage Press under
the title link & Blood"
It was while Szyk was living
peacefully in England that the
Nazis overran his native Poland,
numbering those Of his and his
Wife's family who had remained
there. From that time on SZyk
was a man with a mission {.
mission to expose tyranny. where
ever he found it, and he turned
from his successful profession of
miniaturist and portrait painter
to fighting fascism with his pen.
In his hands the pen has become
an instrument of revenge against
those who shed the blood of the
innocent which explains the
title, link & Blood" But Szyk's
drawings do more than satirize
our recent enemies. They serve
as powerful reminder that al
though the Nazis were defeated,
the evils they symbolic in
justice, greed, hatred and bigotry
are still on the march and threat
en- to engulf our entire civiliza-
ton.
Struthers Burt, the well-known
has written a pithy in
PRODUCTION to Arthur Szyk's draw
ings. To him the title "Ink &
Blood" is a fitting rebuttal to the
slogan "Blood & Iron" which ap-
pears to have governed the Ger
man nation for more than a cen
fury.
