Description
Section headings include: Interest in Resettlement; Recruiter; and VE Day. Reports on the Council’s plan to reorganize the Evacuee Information Service to generate resources and inform incarcerees’ decisions relating to resettlement. A second plan not supported by the Council was in response to a court decision in a presumed discriminatory act, the “Doi incident”. Proposes to organize all incarceration camps into a Japanese Organization to secure funding to bring cases to higher court systems. "Recruiter" subheading recounts a previously absent incarceree’s impression upon returning of the “temper of the people” as being “alert and with purpose”. The third subheading discusses incarerees’ reaction to VE Day (Victory in Europe Day) in relation to traditional “courtesies” of “reluctance” in celebration when people have been adversely affected. Reports on incarceree’s sentiments towards the war and their acceptance of the news as fact.
