BelitlY"e tire e.xtL..guishars anou.id ~ permitted to Teaiain in warehouses for the

llhat pt'QCedures must finally be f ollo•ed in NlSpeet to them.

A similar s1tuat1011 exists in connection with p;roposed Evaouetion

Of wb.1cb
is wlil.e ti her ea oh bre.nc.ll ahould participate 1n tee pro Jeot s to the

extent that the Oontrol S't ations are la<>ated 1.n the separate zones,.
or whether one branob sbou.ld handle each of the pro jeota in ent1.ret1.
Sb.oul.d 1 t be decided that eaah ot the branch.es sh.0111.d part1o1pette in
eaoh ot the pro jeots, e. second question arises as to wh.ether the
ware.b.ou.sing or :personal propexty and the storage of automobiles
should not be oe.ntral.1zed for the entire project in eaon qase in

order tnat all the properties o! ••aouees in eaoh •Tacuation m1gb:t

be stored together.

ot

In co!ll'lection with Projeot No.109, it appears that the majority

the e'\'e.oue&s will be in areas more adjacen~ to the storage t!!loil1t1el!t

of Portland Bre.noh tha.n to our· .fa o111t1es at Puyallup and tha.t, in
consequence, all storage arising in that proj&et should be stored at
Portl,a nd. On the other hrmd, since the proja~t coasiste entirely of
<Jountie a within the State ot' Washington, i.t may be that ell euoh
propertle s sho11.ld be atore4 at Puyallup .

In eo o.neotion w.1 th Pro jeet No.112, by fer the greater pCJrti,on
the property to be. stored w•1 ll be in the Yakima a.rea and it 18
probable the.t property place4. in our CU!lltody at the Nor-th D•Ue1

ot

RE:lrEBENOE: our ltttter A,pr11 22

We have not mainte.1ned a representat1ve at
Bremerton due to the tact that the eTacuation ot
Be1nbr1dge I.eJland l'esul ted ln the remoYal ot mo;re
than two-thirds ot the Japanese in Kitsap County.

We have corresponded with t~e leaders ot Japcommunities at other points 1n X1taap Oounty
and it appears that property problem• are minor
1nsota.r e.s our particular activities are concerned
and that these are being handled sat1sfaotor1ly by
c.orrespondence. We underate.nd that there are no
Japanese in Bremerton gt the E>resent time with
the e:xcepti on or sever al le.borers.

Under t'b.o eircunJstanoes, we can see no reason
for ma.1nta1ning e. representative at Bremerton.•

pear Mr. Syrm!D:S:

.A.s a tollow-1.1p to our telephone oonverteat1on oeino.ern l~ t..h e wem1ng in red pr1m.t.ed on our rider• releting to property of eva~u~e nationals,
I am enclosing semple OOJ>1es ot tb.e rider and o:t our office m.emo re property or evacuee nat1onele~
Our dit1'1ou.lt y is that property . eoom.es special bloa!tted property
ot no~ioes not or reoox•<1, and which, i't poeted Ql' gi !ren,1 nusyheYe bee~ rf!moved. torSQtten or deliberately suppressed tiy one e/t 1.ntel"eat in the property at whose request the blaek:in@ was ef..f ected without
knowledge <:ft others a ,t interest "1th bim.; they not having been notiried.

by ;reason

It is true that th.e press re le$ se by Mr. Diay saiya th at tne inl. ..
tiati.ve under tbe .n ew regulations will rest with the eY.a cuee and that
P'ederal Resel''' Bank: of:f iotals· stated that persons deall.ng with evacuees
may assume that their proJ>erty is not special bloeked property unless
they are a!firmati vely on notice to thf.l contrary, but the press :r·elea~e
1.s much broeder than tbe regulation itselt, whioh is unequivocal 1.n defining the term Speo1al Blocked Property.
While we do not "iah to oorden the bflnk nor our custaners with
Un.necessary inctuiries, we a re at a loss to see how l)arti • ·• dealing w1th
evsou.ee nationals r.nay eatel1 di~regard the regulation without sutri c1.ent
1nttuiry and it seema to us tmit inquiry from the Reserve Eank: is e ·s sentiel.

We believe t.,hat the disposition in the last paragraph 0f' our
memo,. to-wit:
"The warn.l.Dg calls for special license in each. case beoau.se we
b8 ve no adequa.t e means tci a saertaLn vrheth er the propert.1 in question
Whetner real estate, o.ontra,ot interest, mortgage, or 11m is, im !'a.ct,
special blocked prppert:r, but on letter at the Federal Reserve Bank, or
it& ne·a reat branch, th.at t.be parti.(lller treneaotion does cot need special,
license we shall aot witbout the special lioense,"

18 the abs-0lut e m1n1m.u.m, $l':Ji we trust that your bank will not t1nd too
burdensome the request for statements that part,iou .lar propiarty is 11ot
special bloolc:ed property.. Concededly, 1 t ~ uld ha vfJ been 'better to que.11ry the Wal"'n,\ng Sub·St.antiall)' thl.!S: "--when the property is speoi.al
