BEE -EDITORIAL
¥EE EODESIO BEE in a recent editorial column—-
Japanese Loyalty—made the
following statement in regards to 650 segregees who
were transferred to an internment camp (in Bismarck,
ND.) recently, of which
all but 18 were American-
born :
"The fact that nearly
all of- the deportees are
American-born is the best
e vi d enc e that Am ariean
citizenship is no guarantee
of  loyalty."
Although we respect the
right of the Bee in making
such a statement, we certainly do not subscribe to
its way of thinking. We
feel with no little misgivings that it is - tinged
with  a bit   of bigotry.
We have no quarrel, with
the Bee in regards to the
632 nisei talien to Bismarck, but we are certain
that such a brief cannot
be held in regards to thousands of tried and true
Joe Nisei who have fought
so valiantly on foreign
soil for Uncle Sam. To
them such a stand as taken
by the Bee must come as a
deep hurt; a wound more
grievous than the battle
scars they bear as evidenced by the number of
Purple Hearts awarded them.

Perhaps the Modesto Bee
should read about Ginzo
Nakada, Japanese farmer of
Azusa, Calif,, who has six
sons in the Army, while
the seventh Is awaiting
his call to active duty.
To offer seven sons to the
country of their birth is
a rare privilege and honor.
If they are loyal, enough
to fight for their country,
why are they being denied
