We Cannot Be Sure

Testimony before the Dies investigating committee has revealed that 450 Japs at a relocation center in Arizona have refused to attest their loyalty to the United States.

There are 11,000 Japs at the center. Among that number a large majority of the American-born Nisei doubtless are loyal American citizens. Between these and the 450 who honestly admit allegiance to the Jap emperor is the group we should be most concerned about. We know how the 450 stand. We cannot be too sure about the others.
