PROBLEM IN HAWAII
BIG JAPANESE SECTION FEW SO FAR INTERNED (9.30 a.m.) NEW YORK, Oct. 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. ' Except in a few minor instances, thus far the authorities have not interned and have not attempted to remove the Japanese from military 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 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 police chief.
