Therefore. in view of all these circumstances. in view of the intensive activities of the Japanese in the best parts of the islands. in view of the apparent lack of interest or inability of the local authorities to cope with the situation. and in view of the situation being highly detrimental and dangerous to the welfare of the United States and her citizens. I suggest to the Congress the advisability of an immediate investigation to determine whether we should complete our withdrawal immediately. or institute necessary reform measures. such as a change in administrative officials and enforcement of the Japanese exclusion acts. which are now fundamental laws of the Commonwealth. and such other details as are covered in my resolution. As evidence of the need for immediate action I refer again to the recommendation to that effect of United States High Commissioner Paul V. McNutt. in his address here on March 14. 1938.
