Board Adopts Memorial

A memorial originally introduced by the Southern District Council has been amended by the National Board and sent to President Roosevelt and members of the Congress. It states that "It has come to our attention" that certain citizens have violated their obligations, and resolves that.

Now, therefore, be it unanimously resolved by the national board of the Japanese American Citizens League of the United States of America, representing its 20,000 American citizen members in sixty chapters in over 300 communities, that we do hereby memoralize the President and the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to disenfranchise such persons as may be convicted of such acts by due process of law.
