Those Japanese that were so full of love for Japan a year ago are not so enthusiastic for that countrys chances of success as they were. So. instead of getting rid of any large number of Japanese you will only get rid of a handful. practically none at all. Unless you adopt the Johnson amendment you will not be able to even consider the involuntary deportation of any Jap. even if he might be a person that hates us. that has a stiletto in his hand and is awaiting an opportunity to kill an American official or to blast and destroy our military establishments. So we will have to adopt the Johnson amendment to make this bill even slightly respectable. Some of the speakers who have preceded me have been boasting a bit of their legal training. pointing out that they are lawyers. this as a prelude to announcing that we cannot use evidence of occurrences which happened before the act went into effect to establish grounds for expatriation of the disloyal Japanese.
