Letter from E. R. Fryer, Regional Director, War Relocation Authority, to Lincoln Kanai, May 18, 1942
No full textLetter from E. R. Fryer to Lincoln Kanai: "I cannot conceive of this country utilizing forced labor, even in the war effort. There may be a mobilization of man power, and the distribution of this man power in such a way that it can best serve the country, but this is quite different from any conception of forced labor. We are vitally concerned, as you are, with the problem of idle people in assembly centers and relocation centers, especially the latter. For this reason, our relocation projects are being placed in areas where productive work can immediately be done on land. By next Spring, unless we fail miserably in our objectives -- and we shall not -- all employable people should be busy at that kind of work they are best able to do, and within project areas. I sincerely hope that when you are evacuated, you will continue to keep in touch with this office. We shall welcome your continued advice and assistance."Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide
