SAYS ROOSEVELT
Washington, Nov. 22 (U.R)
President Roosevelt expressed
the belief today, under question
ing at his news conference, that
Japanese-Americans who are
American citizens cannot be
locked up in- concentration
camps Indefinitely.
This remark was the product
of a question about whether he
thought that the danger of sabc-
tage on the Pacific coast had
decreased to a point where 1942
Japanese evacuees could be re
turned. Earlier, Rep. John Z.
Anderson, R Calif., said 800
Japanese evacuees had been per
mitted to go, back. ,
The president, noting that he
was talking about Japanese
American citizens, said the dan
ger had diminished in most cases
but that as a matter of practical
fact about 25 per cent of the
evacuees had replaced them
selves in other parts of the coun
try. ,
. He said there is a feeling
among lawyers that under the
constitution these people cannot
be kept locked up in concen
tration camps because American
citizens have certain privileges.
This feeling, the president
said, was activated to a great
extent by the -wonderful record
of Japanese-American soldiers in
Italy.
Asked whether military re
strictions would be relaxed to
