MENACE SEEN IN JAP INTERNMENT

Internment in relocation centers in making fifth-columnists of 70,000 American citizens of Japanese ancestry, Floyd W. Schmoe, former University of Washington forestry instructor, declared at a meeting of the Engineers' Club yesterday. Schmoe is a member of the American Friends (Quaker) Service Committee.

"Evacuation and confinement is not the American way," said Schmoe. "The fact that Gtermans and Italians are not similarly dealt with argues race discrimination. No just peace for the Pacific area can be arrived at if such discrimination is permitted."

Admitting that some sabotage might result if the Japanese were released, Schmoe declared he believed the sabotage would be less costly than the maintenance of relocation centers and the removal of Japanese from gainful production.

Schmoe suggested as an alternative that all Japanese be restored to their homes, and that the Federal Bureau of Investigation be directed to ferret out those who are disloyal.
