Produce Market Here Hit by Treasury Ban

Produce Market Here Hit by Treasury Ban

Article about the difficulty and hardship faced by Seattle produce markets because of a U.S. Treasury Dept. order prohibiting financial transactions with Japanese aliens in purchasing fruits and vegetables from them. Since 80 percent of the fresh vegetables in the Pacific Northwest are produced by Japanese farmers, many of them aliens ineligible for citizenship, Seattle produce distributors were meeting and seeking advice on how to handle the problem.
