In a telegram to President Roosevelt, Secretary of War Stimson and the California dele gation, the committee said that it "fears and knows that the reloca tion in this state of the Japanese during the war will inevitably ieaa to violence and bloodshed." The committee found that the administration of the Tule Lake segregation center under the war relocation administration "lacked firmness and was utterly devoid of any definite policy," and re peated its recommendation that the army retain control of the cehter. The committee expressed belief that the trouble at Tule Lake could have been averted by a def inite policy of firmness and that if the army had been in charge "these demonstrations and inci dents would hot have occurred." The report concerning the camp administration said: "The policy of handling the sit uation and the camp was that of conciliation, of granting one re quest after another, and that as soon as one request was granted there were always further, de mands made. There as no end to It. "The administration of the. camp lacked firmness and was utterly devoid of any definite pol icy. No order or directive could be given to any internee. He could simply be requested to co operate through a Japanese spokesman."
