The resettlement of the Japanese in their original communities is treated by William L. Worden in "The Hate that Failed," in Saturday Evening Post CCIX (May 4, 1946 ), a story of the propaganda against the Japanese and the counter-offensive carried on by the War Relocation Authority and the various citizens' committees which made frequent reference to the Nisei military record. Carey McWilliams' "Moving the West Coast Japanese," in Harper's Magazine CLXXXV, 1108 (September 1942), pp. 359-369, praises the conduct of the detainees as well as the dispatch with which the U.S. Army prepared the locations and cleared the West Coast Military Areas of Japanese Americans by moving them to temporary "reception centers" during the inital stages of evacuation. The author, however, makes an erroneous assumption that "Canada, for example, merely evacuated all male Japanese between the ages of 18 and 45, but this policy again resulted in separating families." The initial order; based on sex and age categories, was soon superseded by a general order calling for the immediate evacuation of all Japanese Canadians from the "protected areas" of Canada. (For a special study of the evacuation in Canada, see La Violette's The Canadian japanese and World War IL cited above.) Commander Kenneth D. Ringle in "Japanese in America: The Problem and the Solution," in Harper's Magazine CLXXXV, 1109, (October 1942), pp. 489-497, is a sophisticated account with a keen appreciation of the actual situation and developments during the period under discussion. Charles Iglehart's "Citizens Behind Barbed Wire," in The Nation (June 6, 1942) and Forrest La Violette's" American-born Japanese and the World Crisis," in Canadian journal of Economic and Political Science VII (November 1941), pp. 517-527, also merit attention.
