CONCLUSION

As to the facts in point with respect to the Japanese program, it appears that all of them could be established to the Court's satisfaction without the introduction of evidence and that even the citation of documentary authority would not be necessary with respect to many of them; however, it is obvious that as much documentary authority as is available should be used. It would also appear that the facts could be sufficiently established, without the use of evidence, so that the Court would refuse any offer of evidence to contradict these facts. It must be borne in mind that with respect to the existence of ties to Japan, methods of inculcating loyalty to Japan, the existence of disloyalty, espionage, civil disorder, etc., it should only be necessary to establish the fact that the civil or military authorities had a reasonable basis for a belief in the existence of these matters, rather than the fact that such phoenomena [phenomena] actually existed. The reports of the Tolan Committee include most

of the necessary material and the Court, by virtue of its frequent use and citation of Congressional Committee reports, would be likely to consider its statements as authoritative.
