Is That Legal?

What occasion did the government have to rule on their loyalty or disloyalty (whatever that means)? I thought that they all got put in concentration camps.

Beginning in early 1943, several government agencies (civilian and military) had a number of reasons to adjudicate the loyalties of individual Japanese Americans. One reason was to permit some internees to leave the camps for jobs in the interior. Another reason was to permit some to join the army. Another reason was to decide which released Japanese Americans could work in plants doing war production. And a final reason was to determine which internees should be more deeply locked up in so-called "segregation."

Here's a phony suggestion that certainly wouldn't pass the test:

- Gov doesn't play dice: Official Positivism Applied to Japanese American Loyalty (1942-1945)

Yet another one for the sake of procrastination :

- Brave New Mold: Classifying Japanese American Loyalty, an American Dystopia (1942-1945)

To both I prefer the 'Bumbling Bureaucrats...' though.

(I recall, for example, a paper I wrote in sophomore year of college about somebody-or-other's rather scathing critique of "Jude the Obscure;" I called the paper "No Laurels for Hardy.")
I alway's wondered what they meant by sophmoric humor. (Which I love.)

How about "Parole Board But No Trial"?

I once wrote an essay on the topic of the world's greatest invention. I argued for the supremacy of cheese. My title:

"On Your Honor" Seems to me a bit of a pun, but what I mean is that people were using the aegis of the US government (my country, my honor) to rule on the honor of others and those others oaths. Or "Their Loyalty, Your Honor"

I read something in a magazine once that led me to belief that some East Coast Japanese were never interred, or most weren't anyway, just monitored and controlled. The article was about a woman who grew up thinking her mother didn't really love her because the mom didn't go to the kid's sleepaway camp's Family Day. The woman found out later the FBI wouldn't give her mom permission to go there.

Okay, I think my suggestion was lost so here goes a second time. Either Inside The Barbed Wire Fence or Outside The Barbed Wire Fence.
