Labor Paper Urges Rights of Nisei

PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 15.--(AP)--The Oregon Labor Press, in an editorial, pointed out today that Japanese Americans are citizens of the United States and have the same constitutional rights that other citizens enjoy.

"We have laws to take care of any citizens who are disloyal ... and we should not violate our Constitution by denying the privileges given by it to any group, regardless of race, creed, or color," the editorial said.
