A resolution calling for the removal of all Japanese--both aliens and native-born--from the Pacific Coast area has been adopted by Fred E. Hayes Post No. 57 of the American Legion, Grandview, Yakima County, Post Commander H. Stilwell said today.

The resolution said the presence of Japanese "constitutes a grave menace to our welfare," and suggested that they be removed to inland points and placed in concentration camps or otherwise put under effective supervision.
