  • the American anger focused not on the Japanese Imperial government, its expansionist goals, and its role in the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo axis,  but on the Japanese as a "race". Racist anti-Japanese propaganda was already well developed on the west coast, but after the attack it was ratcheted up by politicians, the press and, quite likely, big agribusiness interests who thought (quite accurately, it turned out) that they could buy Japanese farms at discounted prices.

      This says that hatred for Japanese did not focus on them being a nation at war with the US, but instead it focused on the Japanese as a race.

  • They left San Francisco by the hundreds all through last January and February, seeking new homes and new jobs in the East and Midwest. In March, the Army and the Wartime Civil Control Administration took over with a new humane policy of evacuation to assembly and relocation centers where both the country and the Japanese could be given protection.

  • No. 1—All persons suspected of espionage, sabotage, fifth column or other subversive activities. The FBI and intelligence services are rounding them up daily. No. 2—Japanese aliens. No. 3—American-born Japanese. No. 4—German aliens. No. 5—Italian aliens. After the military areas are cleared of Japanese, the general indicated, German and Italian aliens would be next in line for evacuation. However, German and Italian aliens 70 years of age or over will not be required to move “except when individually suspected.” Also exempted will be “the families, including parents, wives, children, sisters and brothers of Germans and Italians in the armed forces,” unless such removal is required for specific reason.
  • attempt to create a Japanese-Negro anti-white-race fifth column.
  • Nine replied, in effect: “No Japanese wanted - except in concentration camps.”
  • Along the entire Pacific Coast, and from the southern half of Arizona, some 120,000 enemy aliens and American-born Japanese were moving, or preparing to move, to areas in which the threat of possible espionage, sabotage or fifth column activities would be minimized.
  • “We are going to give these people a fair chance to dispose of their properties at proper prices,” Mr. Clark said. “It has come to our attention that many Japanese farmers have been stampeded into selling their properties for little or nothing.”
