Description
Prior to the forced removal of people of Japanese ancestry, there were rumors that this process would be delayed due to summer harvest schedules. This is one of multiple press releases that try to clear up the rumors and insist that the forced removal will occur on schedule despite crop schedules. The press release also emphasizes that Japanese Americans should get their affairs in order as quickly as possible to speed up the procedures. The War Relocation Authority (WRA), together with the Wartime Civil Control Administration (WCCA), the Civil Affairs Division (CAD) and the Office of the Commanding General (OFG) of the Western Defense Command (WDC) operated together to segregate and house some 110,000 men women and children from 1942 to 1945. The collection contains documents and photographs relating to the establishment and administrative workings of the (WDC), the (WRA) and the (WCCA) for the year 1942.
