Three of the best sources for this subject are Conn, et al., Guarding the United States. pp. 115-49, and Personal Justice Denied: Report of the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians (Washington, Government Printing Office, December 1982); and Roger Daniels, Concentration Camps USA: Japanese Americans and World War II (Hinsdale, Illinois, The Dryden Press, 1972). For a comparison study of Japanese exclusion and evacuation from the military point of view, see U.S. War Department, Final Report: Japanese Evacuation From the West Coast, 1942 (Washington, Government Printing Office, 1943.

Although the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor precipitated the movement for exclusion and evacuation of persons of Japanese ancestry from the west coast during World War II, it is significant to note a White House memorandum written by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on August 10, 1936. Discussing the surveillance of people of Japanese descent on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, Roosevelt demanded that a list of people under surveillance be kept so that the suspected problem people would "be the first to be placed in a concentration camp in the event of trouble," Record Group 181, Records of Naval Districts and Shore Establishments, 14th Naval District, Commandants Office, General Correspondence, 1925-42, File No. A8-5, Document 20, National Archives and Records Administration, Pacific Sierra Region, San Bruno.

John DeWitt was born on January 9, 1880, at Fort Sidney, Nebraska, His father was an army doctor who had served in the Civil War, and during John's youth his father and family were transferred to Fort Hancock, Texas, Fort Missoula, Montana, and Fort Sully in the Dakotas, When John was 16, he was sent to Princeton. He applied to West Point, but was turned down. On November 1, 1898, he dropped out of college to accept a lieutenancy in the 20th Infantry during the Spanish-American War and he was sent to the Philippines. From then until World War I, he was posted back and forth between stateside and the Philippines. In late 1917, he went to France as a quartermaster, serving behind the lines as a supply officer. Between World Wars I and II, he served on army posts in Washington, Georgia, Texas, and the Philippines.

46. Quoted in Personal Justice Denied, pp. 81-82.In Alaska the Army had been made responsible for controlling enemy aliens soon after Pearl Harbor, and it had promptly interned those considered dangerous. On March 6, 1942, the Secretary of war extended his authority under Executive Order 9066 to the Army commander in Alaska, By late May he had evacuated not only his alien internees but also the entire Japanese population of Alaska — 230, of whom more than half were United States citizens.
47. Quoted in Conn, et al., Guarding the United States, p. 134. In its Final Report the War Department stated on page 25: "The War Department representative [Colonel Bendetsen] carried back to the Secretary the recommendation of the Commanding General that some method be developed empowering the Federal Government to provide for the evacuation from sensitive areas of all persons of Japanese ancestry, and any other persons individually or collectively regarded as potentially dangerous. The Commanding Genera; proposal was reduced to writing in a memorandum for the Secretary of War, dated February 14, 1942 . . . . This recommendation was presented to the Secretary of War on or about February 16th." No other evidence was found that the recommendations contained in General DeWitt's memorandum to the Secretary of War were considered or referred to in the preparation of new War Department directives on the subject between February 17 and 20. After these directives were drafted and after talking with General DeWitt on February 20, Bendetsen informed Secretary Stimson: "It was I who misunderstood General Dewitt's plan — he has no mass movement in mind."

24. In late April, the Army responded to Pulliam's requests, sending two officials and two "disinterested appraisers" to Manzanar to purchase the evacuees' automobiles. Appraisals were based on the prices listed in the manufacturers' Blue Book. Before the appraisers arrived several evacuees sold their vehicles to members of the construction crew. The Manzanar Free Press reported on May 2 (p. 5) that the Army planned to "put to immediate use all cars manufactured after 1937." In case the sale of the vehicles was not completed, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, acting as the fiscal agent of the government, was authorized to store the cars at the owner's risk. The newspaper reported on May 6, (p. 4) that "Ranging from a Model 'T' Ford, vintage 1925, to a 1941 Chevrolet, 150 automobiles belonging to first arrivals at Manzanar have been sold to the Army, carpenters, and workers here." All vehicles would be removed during the week, Four autos were not sold, because the owners decided not to sell.

Children from the San Francisco Salvation Army Home arrived at Manzanar a week later.

The Japanese language school had originated at the Presidio of San Francisco, California, as the IV Army Military Intelligence Service Language School (MISLS) housed in (present) Building No. 640, an old hangar at Crissy Airfield that had previously been converted into a R.O.T.C. classroom. The school opened on November 1, 1941, five weeks before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Removal of Japanese and Japanese Americans from the exclusion zones forced the Army to relocate the school to Fort Snelling, then Camp Savage. This school was the origin of the Defense Language Institute, which was subsequently moved to Monterey, California.

During the winter of 1943-44, for instance, there were reports that gambling and bootleg operations were increasingly becoming a menace to the tranquillity of family life as well as the peace and welfare of the entire center evacuee population.
