Description: Describes arrival in Minneapolis, Minnesota and impending employment in Minnetonka Lake; initial contact with the War Relocation Authority field office and how it has received many job offers; a housing shortage in the area that will negatively impact the chances of large family groups to succeed in resettlement; a suggestion that the War Relocation Authority address this problem by buying up housing for "re-locatee[s]" along with fear that this could cause ill will among the white population; and positive sentiment towards the re-locatees among the general public.
This collection contains materials generated by J. Ralph McFarling, a Community Analyst for the War Relocation Authority, documenting the Amache Concentration Camp in Granada, Colorado where Japanese-Americans were incarcerated during World War II.
