President. during the Second World War a great inJustice was done to a group of Americans who in dedication. devotion. and patriotism were exceeded by none. I refer to the long and shameful record of discrimination against the Japanese. both foreign and native born. until recent years. They were discriminated against in not being able to become naturalized citizens until 1952. They could not own land in California until a statute of that State was declared unconstitutional In 1952. After Pearl Harbor they were discriminated against still further even though the records show that there has never been a single case of sabotage or espionage. either in Hawaii or on the mainland of the United States.
