Mr, Axel N, Ralm,
5725 S, E, 21st Avenue,
Portland, Oregon,
Dear Mr. Ralm:
Reference is made to your letter of March 20,
1942 in which you state that you hold a mortgage on property
belonging to George T. Takagi near Mood River, Oregon,
which obligation has been past due for some years and
on which the interest has not been paid for more than two
years.
Your letter indicates that you intend to force
a settlement. If legal notion is contemplated, you will
probably wish to consult with your attorney as to the proper
course to pursue,
Ve assume, of course, that any action
taken by you will follow due processes of law.

MEMORANDUM
Visit to Mr. dial ft* Rahm, 5725 S* L. 21st Avenue , Portland, Oregon#
Our file indicates that this party holds a real estate mortgage
on a Japanese owned fruit farm of twenty acres in the Rood River district;
the name of the Japanese is George Takagi; the amount of his claim is
■J3,000 principal, about three years accrued interest and irrigation taxes
of approximately $700*
I contacted Mr. Rahm at his residence this forenoon and discussed
the matter with him* He advised that the Japanese will quit claim title to
the premises, to avoid foreclosure proceedings for a consideration of $ 10 0 .
Mr. Rahm believes that he will either arrange to pay the £100 in cash or have
the deed placed in escrow pending the assembling of the £ 10 0 payment or resort
to foreclosure proceedings, de agrees that this is purely a matter for him
to handle according to his legal rights and that the Federal deserve Bank
s.iould not» intervene or attempt to coerce the Japanese into making a set
tlement.
Lr. Rahm is of Swedish birth, 80 years of age, has resided in Oregon
for fifty-three years, is a naturalized citizen of the United States, a re
tired fruit rancher of the Hood River District, a«i advises that he has taken
considerable loss in investing in Hungary and Chile bonds.

Dear Mr. Rankins
Receipt is i Cidiowledged of your letter of
April 28, 1942 f relative to the amount owed by K.
Hagaki o the lakiiaa Sheep Company.
We do not eecm to have this name in our
file 3 and consequently can give you no information
regarding him except chat we can report very defi
nitely that we are not holaing in our possession
any luncts or assets of this individual. Aa a mat
ter of fact, if the funds of a Japanese are con
trolled, the "blocking* procedure is effected at
the commercial bank shere the account is carried.
Federal Reserve Banks do not accept such accounts.
Regretting that we are unable to be of
assistance to you in this instance, we are

BUILDING
PORTLAND, OREGON
April 28, 1942
Federal Reserve Bank of
San Francisco,
Porter Building,
Portland, Oregon,,
Gentlemen:
Attention: Mr. Scott A. MacEachron
There is a Japanese by the name of K. Nagaki who
has been indebted to the Yakima Sheep Company for two
carloads of sheep manure since January 18, 1939, in the
amount of ^219.92.
There were two other Japanese who owed
similar amounts and one we sued and recovered judgment which
he has paid.
The other voluntarily made his payment, but
this man has apparently gone to his ranch somewhere near
Payette, Idaho or Ontario, Oregon, and apparently hopes to
avoid payment.
The circumstances, briefly, were these: the father
of three boys incurred this bill.
Last fall he left for
Japan. At the time he did so, he had a substantial sum of
money (believed about ^5,000) which he distributed among his
three sons without paying all of his debts.
The particular son,
whose name is mentioned here, is the one who farms the place
upon which the sheep manure was used, and I have threatened
to sue him for the oenefits he received or because his father
bis fcriuuted funds to him which he had no right to distribute
until the father's creditors were satisfied. Mr. Jachetta,
an attorney in the feon Building, represents him and I believe
is very fair and trying his best to settle the case without
litigation. However, I am told that he makes no reply now
to his attorney's letters, and I am wondering if you have any
funds of this Japanese in your possession from which either
a judgment might be satisfied or which might be attached.
If there is anything along this line of which you can advise
me, I would sincerely appreciate such information for the
benefit of this worthy and unpaid creditor.
Thanking you in advance for any consideration, I am
Yours respectfully,
J

Dear sirs:
I noticed your article in today's Journal regarding the
assetts and property of aliens during evacuation, and I am writing
for information along that line.
We rented our farm to Japanese aliens and they refused to
pay any reitt for the past three years, now owing us $300.
I would
like to know if there is any way in which we can check up on their
assetts without going to court.
If we knew that they had any assetts
we would go to court and attach it, but we do not like to go to add
itional expense without knowing where we stand.
We have reason to beleive that they have concealed their
money for the cannerries with which they did business told us recently
that they paid them large sufas.
I will appreciate it very much if you will advise me on this
matter as we feel th t if these Japs have any bank account on any other
assetts, we are entitled to ourrent money.
If they list their property
would we have access to these records?
Thanking you, I am
