SEIZE ALL WEST COAST JAPS, SOLON DEMANDS

INTERNMENT OF U.S.-BORN AND ALIENS SUGGESTED

Confinement in Inland Prison Camps Urged; Menace of Foreigners in West Cited By Representative

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Jan. 21.--(AP)--Representative Leland M. Ford, Republican, California, said in a statement today that he was taking up with government officials "the seriousness of the Japanese situation on the West Coast" and advocated moving all Japanese, American-born and alien, to concentration camps.

Ford said he was taking up the question with the secretaries of State, War, Navy and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He said the question was "rather touchy in some quarters due to the fact many Japanese are native (American) born."

"He feels that these native-born Japanese may not be any more loyal than are the foreign born," the statement said, "but stated that again there may be those who are loyal and therefore he is taking the position that those who are loyal, if they really are, should be willing to acquiesce in the movement of all Japanese people to whatever location the military authorities think they ought to be, and develops the fact that other loyal Americans are enlisting in the Army and Navy and air forces and are willing to give their lives for their country, and if these men are willing to make their contribution to the safety and welfare of the country, he believes it is not asking too much of the Japanese to make theirs in the form of permitting themselves to be placed in concentration camps, although they may be loyal."
