The great bulk of the 135,000 Japanese in this country at the outbreak of the war, including the 110,000 along the West coast, are Nisei. They are the young boys and girls, the men and women who have lived here all their lives and are just as American as we are. They have broken away from Japanese customs. Their thought is American thought. They prefer American food and our way of doing things. They like to jitterbug, go to movies, have coke dates and parties like any normal American. Surveys have proven that the Nisei have a greater percentage of members with a college or university education than any racial group in the United States. It is the belief of the WRA that the spreading of the American-Japanes- e throughout the nation instead of concentrated in groups along the coast will be a good thing both for all Americans and for American-Japanes- Whats the secret of such rewonderful ports of results?
