CO: Here, just again, maybe clarify, get a little bit more of your relationship to JACL, is this one here in 1943 or about.

JO: These all tie in. Because Hokubei was very strongly pro-JACL, all tie in. And Saburo Kido was writing for the Hokubei Asahi editorials.

CO: No, I understand... this is just to kind of jump ahead to cover some of these other things to get into the camps here, but here, this was about 1943 when the JACL filed a charge against you?

JO: Oh, '43? Well, that was a charge, yes.

CO: Oh, I'm sorry. That's really jumping ahead.

JO: Yeah. Yeah, we skipped a lot.
