Replies to 'Lincoln Yamamoto’
“Many Nisei (and non-Nisei, too) who chanced to read Lincoln
'Yamamoto’s letter to Newsweek were so furious, they had to say
something to someone. . . . This little note, though obviously a
"product of a crank or crackpot, could not be ignored.” So wrote
Pacific Citizen editor Harry Honda in his weekly column, and the
following are excerpts from some of the things Nisei leaders had
to say:

Damaging to U.S.—Japan Relations
To Newsweek: Several officials in the State Department, as
well as in the Embassy of Japan, have discussed this letter with us
for it may have repercussions not only in Japan, where Newsweek
enjoys a .reputation for factual reporting, but also in the United
States when it is most important that Japanese-American relations
be maintained at a high and cordial level. ... That Newsweek would
publish such a letter is irresponsible journalism. . . . Your action
in this regard makes us question the validity of the rest of your
magazine.
—MIKE M. MASAOKA
Washington
J ACL Representative

Michigan Nisei Don’t Think like Yamamoto
To Newsweek: . . .1 believe Lean speak for the Nisei (in Michi­
gan) in saying that we do not think in the “Yamamoto” manner. . . .
By printing this letter you. have unfortunately given an impression
that libels a large number of good citizens.
—MIYOKO O’NEILL
Birmingham, Mich.
Detroit JACL Pres.'

Proverb Fits Situation
. . . Though we may establish that “Yamamoto” is not a Nisei,
what can we do about it? . . . an old proVerb seems to fit the situa­
tion here: “You don’t need alibis for your friends and your enemies
won’t believe you anyhow.”
—GEORGE YOSHINAGA
San Francisco
in the Nichi Bei Times

No Laughing Matter to Nisei Who Remember 1942
To Newsweek: “Lincoln Yamamoto” does not speak for me. . . .
I might laugh off the letter as the brainless work of an addle-pated
crank, except that I know by bitter experience what damage such
letters can do. Such letters are no laughing matter to those of us
who, in 1942, suddenly found ourselves uprooted from our homes
and ’dumped in the middle of the desert, solely because our faces
were Japanese.
Los Angeles
—KATSUMI KUNITSUGU

Newsweek Provides Copy for Russ Propaganda
To Newsweek: . . . Very much like the mob at the University
of Alabama, you have again provided much good copy for the pro­
paganda boys in the Kremlin. On the other hand I am sure you
have made many friends among local hate societies and some of
their members who have been dormant for years. . .
Hollywood
'
—WILLIAM E. KENT

Rule of Journalism: Check Authenticity
One of the chief rules of good journalism is to get to the source
of a report and check for authenticity. Even a high school student
covering- his campus beat knows that. . . . And certainly crackpot
letters, without return addresses, don’t merit space in a national
publication like Newsweek unless the editors themselves felt an
urge to create strife. .- . . The tragic part of the whole “Lincoln
Y'amamoto” episode is that the damage has already been done,
regardless of how Newsweek comes out in subsequent issues to
correct the wrong. . .
