Mr. Speaker. I am just as anxious as any gentleman from California in bringing about the deportation of any and all of these Japanese. I am more or less familiar with the situation in his State. I have spent a great deal of time there. and I do not blame the people of California for their intense feeling. but unfortunately. in view of all factors. this is the best legislation that we can present for consideration at this time. I do not want to forego the opportunity at least to bring about the departure of two or three thousand disloyal Japanese whom we can use in exchange for our boys held as prisoners over there. though it is my feeling that we should get 50 Japs fcr every American. I am concerned with the statement of the gentleman from California when he voiced the opinion this proposed legislation. if enacted. will permit some persons to avoid military service should they renounce their citizenship. Is the gentleman aware that under our draft law we can take into our armed services any alien and that aliens are being inducted in the service and we are permitting them to be naturalized? But who would favor getting disloyal people like these in the service anyway? The sooner we get rid of them the better.
