It is believed that the AMEPICAN FRIENDS SERVICE COMMITTEE is a
” bona fide organization whose aims and principles, although presently at -
variance with the public war attitude, are sincere and welleneant. One of
the sub-committees of the FRIENDS on the west coast is the-STUDENT RELOCA-
TION COMMTTFE, which is recognized by the WAR RELOCATION AUTHORITY as the
only group allowed to canvass the Japanese reception centers for students
to attend universities in the central and eastern states, and so aid in the
problem of rehabilitation, These altruistic programs, however, are fre- .

to visit Japanese camps for relocation purposes exposed four(4) es being
‘ undesirable, Two (2) of these are potentially dangerous; they are:

soientious objectors, are being used as a refuge for draft evaders. The
work camps in Mexico ar: lieved to be particularly popular with such
people. One CLARENCE Yu » formerly at the Veracruz camp, and now in
Les Angeles, has mentioned the progress being made in recruiting new members
. to the FRIENDS' attitude toward war. YOUNG is a conscientious objector
