Description
Reinstitution of selective service for the Nisei has been met by various evacuee reactions. These reactions have been strongly influenced by the isolation and peculiar nature of center lif, which is illustrated by the developments at Heart Mountain. The experience at this center is particularly relevant because it shows the two main Nisei points of view about selective service, i.e., unconditional compliance with the draft laws accompanied by requests for restoration of civil rights, and compliance conditional on restoration of these rights. These views are represented by two well organized bodies: the moderates by the Comnunity Council, and the extremes by the Fair Play Committee.
