JAPANESE IN HAWAII
Problem For America
(Received October 13, 11.45 p.m.) NEW YORK, October 13.
With approximately 150,000 Japanese living in Hawaii and filling vital positions, these islands face a peculiar problem, says the Honolulu correspondent of the United Press of America. Except in a few minor instances, thus far the authorities have not interned and not attempted to remove the Japanese from military areas. Their removal. would constitute a gigantic physical problem because the entire territory is a military area. Moreover, only 22 per cent, of the Japanese population are not citizens and Nipponese occupy important positions in public utilities and in business life. Undoubtedly the Japanese possessed an efficient espionage system in Honolulu before the war, but there was little sabotage on December 7 or since, according to the' chief of police.
