SOUTHERN BOARD CRACKING DOWN ON DISLOYAL; WOULD DENY BALLOT

LOS ANGELES. -- Any citizen of the United States who clings to the principles of any government with which this country is at war should be disenfranchised, it was declared by the Southern California JACL board in session here. The text of the resolution follows:

Whereas, we the members of the Japanese-American Citizens League conceive it to be the absolute duty and privilege of an American citizen to honor, uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and to bear true allegiance solely to the United States of America; and

"Whereas, it has come to our attention that certain American citizens have violated these obligations by such acts as publicly advocating the principles of a foreign government with which the United States is at war or by rendering aid, comfort or advice to such governments or their representatives;

"Now, therefore, be it unanimously resolved by the Southern District Council of the Japanese American Citizens League in special session convened this eleventh day of January, 1942, in Santa Ana, California, that the National Board of the Japanese American Citizens League memorialize the President and the Congress of the United States of America to enact legislation to disenfranchise such persons as may be convicted of such acts by due process of law."
