viewed all Japanese Internees.
After he had Interviewed thou
sands of Japanese, some startling
facts came to light, he said. It was
found that they belonged to many
societies and groups, and that most
of them wanted to give up their
United States citizenship and go
back to Japan, The loyal Japanese
who were born here, protested
ajalnst being held against their
will, Powell added, but were told
that they were being Interned most
ly for their own protection.
As a result of these interviews,
the Japanese were classed In three
groups, he explained, a white list
for those loyal to the United States,
a gray list for the questionable
ones, and a black list for thoso
found to be unquestionably dis
loyal. Most of the internees at the
Tulelake camp were on the black
list, Powell said.
After the war was ended, those on
the white list were turned out and
allowed to go back to their homes
and places of business If they chose,
the gray list was carefully sifted,
and those on the black list were sent
back to Japan as quickly as pos
sible, the speaker said.
While in Japan, Powell found thnt
the American-born Japanese who
were sent back to Japan are Tery
unhappy and unpopular. There Is
no work for them and they must
either live with relatives or live eff
the land, he added.
