Enemy Alien Control Unit of the
Justice Department; and Dillon S.

ten statements of Secretary and
Undersecretary Julius A. Krug and
Oscar L. Chapman marked one of

John J. McCIoy, while defend

considerations, nevertheless ad-

American population were "most
unfortunate, difficult and harsh"
He said that conditions on the
West Coast were such that eva

but that mo one who had any
connection with the facts could
feel anything but great distress
at the necessity which impelled
it,"
He told the Senate committee
that the Nisei's acceptance of the
evacuation order and their coopera-

Impressive More impressive, how
ever, h. emphasized, was the spi-

combat duty and who subsequently
won world wide fame as members
of that fighting 442nd regimental
combat team.
"The record of those combat
units, and they were combat units,
was so brilliant and was eloquent
of the loyalty of this portion of
our population, that I think it is
one of the brightest pages in the
annals of our military history
as well as our national history
