Mr. Hood pointed out, however,that the.. exact amount of work involved {n--s·ertJing and executing...theeubo oen a duces tecum cannot be est imat ed at the pr e s en i: ·time itui snuclia?···it .. i~_not ._k.no]vn=1J...o_W.rnany·:?-.uqpoenas···wi.il be au i ti or i e e d by the Department as a result of the .inf.oTmation which he is subr.itting tod2y or·t·omt)rrou,~·_·_··t-toJd·lir. Hood to keep the Bureau closely advised oJ theet t uati t on in h is office in order that additional personnel could bef'u r n ished if the burden b e cone s too great. lir.

1._,\ Dear Sir:

There are being forwarded to the Bureau with this communication,five copies of memorandum concerning 92 Alien Japanese Fishermen whoare presently in cust~ of the Immigration and Naturalization Serviceof this territo17. These individuals have been the subject of recent '..':- .. ,'conversation with Bureau officials. _e ." --;;"'- ".;' . .,

E;){ . RP<:OPDED 10 0 - .--( - __~ /. J ..: ~'.

As you are aware" the members of the Japanese fishing flee1;.:~,)~IGAlI:)::Ioperating in California and Lower California coast have for' a consider4bleperiod or time frequented the areas which are now regarq.ed as...,.deten.se;4L ..rsea areas. The ships manned by these aliens are radio ~qJ.P.l'~~d land I i j '.9while they are at sea there is no method from preventIng them fromcommunicating with the eneD\Y and actua.l1y rendering assistance to <t'~":':,/ 5enElrDY submarines or other craft at sea. TheY' frequent the. waters of' .... ,.....-.; t: -~LO\'ler California from which point Japanese submarines may possibly ./be operating. As a matter of precaution, the Naval authorities atthe present time prohibit these alien fishermen from departingfrom west coast ports to preclude the possibility of their taking anyaction that might be inimical to the defense of the West Coast.This is regarded as a partial solution to the problem created bY' thesepersons, however, many or them reside at Tenninal Island and inWilmington and San Pedro" California which localities are regardedas being within a defensive area in view of the military and Navaloperation in the area of the Los Angeles Harbor. It is understoodthat Naval authorities have recommended in the past the removal of

.all industries in which the Japanese in this Harbor Defense Area are. engaged. Their removal to some other part or the state would amountto a partial solution of the problEm. However, the individuals arestill free to travel' about the state to some extent and could possiblygo to Mexico if they so desired. One reason wQy they are considereddangerous is ·.tha~'~~Ae Inmigration and Naturalization Service advisesthat it has been their experience that many members or the alien Japaneserishing fleet are members of the Japanese~ and Navy Reserve Corps•

Director - 2 -RE: ALIEN JAPANESE FISHERMEN

LOS ANGELES AREA

January 4, 1942

It is felt that this group does constitute a threat to thesecurity of this area and there are undoubtedly other groups thatmust be considered in a like manner. Each of them will be called tothe Bureau's attention as they are developed.

It is suggested that reports trom Hawaii and the PhilippineIslands may furnish to the Bureau sane guide as to what type ofactivities might be expected from this group of citizens as presentdispatches indicate that they have participated in some fifthcolumn activities.

It is the opinion of the United States Attorney, theImmigration and Naturalization Service and the Commanding General ofthe Western Division Cozrmand, San Francisco, that all members of thealien Japanese neet, including those upon who memorandums are beingsubmitted herewith, should be confined as alien enemies. It isrequested that this office be advised of the op~on of the Departmentat the earliest possible date. It is the recommendation of this officethat the individuals referred to be detained as alien enemies.

Very truly yours,
