Description
In this 3-page letter, Wilbur cautions DeWitt in the handling of the Japanese American issue and addresses various problems associated with evacuation and internment. Further, he puts forth a proposal to build relocation centers in California that will, after the war, be turned into rehabilitation centers for disabled members of American armed forces. He also discusses various task forces that are willing to volunteer for the project and proposes strategies for making the project self-sustaining and labor-efficient. [A letter similar in contents to this one was also sent to DeWitt by the California Housing and Planning Association. See Dbase #019.]
