Most curious as to why the "Instructions" are only directed at Americans of "Japanese Ancestry".

During a dark period of American History, Japanese living in America near the coasts were forced to live in internment camps, for fear of spies and saboteurs.

Thankyou for the reply. I can now see that the notice seems dated 1942. Best wishes, John

Many people have asked that question, Mustafa. While almost all Japanese were put into camps during the war, almost no Germans or Italians were. it is especially ironic considering that the Japanese Navy was at the limit of its operating reach when it attacked Hawaii and German submarines were sinking ships off the east coast every day.
