U.S. JAPANESE TO TALK EVACUATION

Floyd Schmoe, instructor in the College of Forestry, University of Washington, will address the Y.W.C.A. Japanese Club at 8:30 o'clock tonight in the Y.W.C.A. His topic will be "Enemy Alien Evacuation."

The club has 200 members, all employed Japanese boys and girls who were born in America. A round-table discussion will follow Schmoe's talk, in which he will attempt to clear up Pacific Northwest evacuation problems directly affecting this group.

Schmoe, on a leave of absence from the University this term, is local representative of the American Friends Service Committee. He is one of eight men on the Pacific Coast now giving full time to the Japanese relations for the committee, in cooperation with the government. This organization, formed in 1917 for relief work in Europe during the First World War, is the social-service agency for the American Society of Friends (Quakers). It is feeding 80,000 school children in France under direct supervision of 25 Americans there.
