Meyer and Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes had made "misguided and far from accurate statements." Right to Opinion These two officials. McDade said, "lose sight of the fact that people of western states have a right to voice their opinions relative to the Japanese. Let me say right now that the fair treatment which is requested for the Japanese will be given them by the citizens of this area. The same people whom Meyers and Ickes hold up to scorn will be among the first to see that the returned Japanese are not molested." Referring to the WRA. Mc Dade sald: "I maintain that the inept handling of the Tulelake situation (Tulelake segregation camp in northern California,) made matters worse and it was only when the army stepped in tnat complete order was re stored in the camp, where trou blesome and vicious Japanese are concentrated. I still believe that the proper authority for control of the camp should be the military."
