On the Atomic Bomb and the WWII internment of Japanese Americans

[This is Ana Marie Lux Between the Lines column of August 1]

“THE Japanese race is an enemy race. While many second- and third-generation Japanese born on U.S. soil, possessed of U.S. citizenship, have become ‘Americanized,’ the racial strains are undiluted ... It therefore follows that along the vital Pacific Coast more than 112,000 potential enemies of Japanese extraction are at large today ... The very fact that no sabotage has taken place to date is a disturbing and confirming indication that such action will be taken.”
