Show WHAT OTHERS THINK OF THEM THEY BELONG TO HIROHITO Los Angeles -Many of the hundreds hun-dreds of Japanese placed behind barbed wire in the inland west this week-end have already served ! their emperor here on American I soil. They have taught young Japanese, Americans by birth, that they "belong" to that emperor; emper-or; that he is entitled to their fealty, their lives if need be. Many of these newly arrested Japanese have been teachers in i the Japanese language schools! that, until the Pearl Harbor raid, j held classes six days a week forj American-born Japanese children' of all ages. In these classes,' textbooks were used which' were published in, Japan, sent to .the United States by arrangement with the Japanese government. The schooling has already had: one vital effect that doubtles3 has the approval of the Japanese war office: in a time of crisis it has put all Nisei, or American-born Japanese, under a cloud of suspicion suspi-cion that probably will not lift until the war is ended.
