Removal of All Japanese Asked

Evacuation Bremerton Post No. 149 Fifth Column Rhodes, Edward B. Tacoma Post No. 2

Bremerton Post No. 149 of the American Legion drafted a resolution asking for the removal of all Japanese on the West Coast because of the difficulty of separating the loyal from the disloyal and because fifth column activity allegedly occurred at Pearl Harbor. In a related matter, the Tacoma Post No. 2 of the American Legion commended the congressmen for their support of the FBI's rounding up enemy aliens.
