before that no excuse remain­

folks. Why, then, another six
months of continued viola­
tions of the U.S. Constitution
and the guarantees of the Bill
of Rights — not to mention
the violations at the outset
commencing from Feb. 19,
1942?
When I first saw the docu­

firmed the suspicions that I
harbored but did not wish to
believe, I was stunned and
then outraged: the in­
escapable conclusion was
that the banned and/or incar­
cerated Issei and Nisei were,
in a very real sense, used as
political pawns in the elec­

November 1944, I found that
Nov. 10 was a Friday; and just
three days before, Nov. 7, was
an election day, the day FDR
was reelected for his third
term. Six additional months
of exclusion and incarcera­
tion of innocent people to

(PJD, p. 229)! We were
shamelessly used, exploited
in an unspeakable way. Un­
speakable for a proud land
such as these United States.
But the maneuvering was
not, unfortunately, to end
there.
There was another curious
coincidence of timing. On
Dec. 18, 1944, in Ex Parte Mitsuye Endo, the U.S. Supreme
Court handed down its deci­
sion declaring that continued
detention was unconstitu­
tional. Decisions of courts,
particularly the highest court
of our land, are to be kept in
strictest confidence until an­
nounced. On Dec. 17, 1944 —
just one day prior to the issu­
ing of the Endo decision —
by Public Proclamation 21 the
mass exclusion orders issued
by DeWitt were rescinded.
I shall leave it to you to
determine whether the timing
was mere coincidence.
This is some of the history,
some of the events which
were inflicted upon us — bas­
ed on the reprehensible
“criterion” of race — that this
nation now has an opportuni­
ty to rectify. To redress.

Chris Conway agreed on April
29 to write a policy statement
on the use of ethnic humor
during broadcasts during a
one-hour meeting between
Conway and members of the
Asian/Pacific Islander Media
Responsibility Coalition. He
refused, however, to give an
on-air apology.
In a surprise move, Conway
gave a letter of apology to
coalition coordinator Virginia
Fung on May 6. He also paid

$100 to have the letter printed
as an advertisement in
Fung's newspaper, the San
Diego Pan Asian Express,
and said that a community re­
presentative would appear as
a guest on one of the sta­
tion's programs.
Conway admitted to Fung
that Miller left because of
Asian Pacific community
pressure. Previously, the sta­
tion had downplayed the im­
portance of community re­
sponse and attributed Miller's
departure mainly to drop in
ratings and a “tremendous of­
fer” from Atlanta.
In the apology, Conway
stated: “The recent con­
troversy sparked by a former
employee of ours, Randy
Miller, has caused a signifi­
cant amount of hurt and ill
feeling on the part of members
of the Asian/Pacific Islander
citizens of our community . ..

New panel founded to send elderly
Japanese retirees overseas
TOKYO. — The Ministry of
International Trade and In­
dustry (MITI) set up a new
study panel to review a
scheme to encourage Japan­
ese retirees to live overseas.
The scheme, called the
“Silver Columbia” was pro­
posed last year to allow elder­
ly people to enjoy their life in
countries with a favorable
climate, like Australia. But it
drew harsh criticism at home
and abroad as a plan to ex­
port the elderly.
The revised plan will cover
not only retired people but
also young people, with em­
phasis changing from perma­
nent settlement to seasonal

ANNUITIES
ReRJ.FJs & R.R.S.P.’s

and short-term stays.
Miyazaki and Kagoshima
Prefectures, and other do­
mestic spots will also be con­
sidered as possible sites for
the new plan.
The panel will work out a
report possibly by March next
year after studying the
Japanese peopled life of
leisure and business opportu­
nities for overseas Japanese
residents.
The 47-member panel com­
prises of Japanese and
foreign scholars and bus­
inessmen, and have three
subcommittees to be joined
by officials of 89 domestic
private firms.
