Title

1942 2 4 Letter from Booth to Pickett

Description

Letter talks about the growing hysteria in Los Angeles and the meetings between top officials.  Some law enforcements officials are asking for the removal of all people of Japanese ancestry from the Pacific Coast.  Booth considers all of the leaders to be anti-New Deal.  Even a letter from Elenor Roosevelt seems to be taken to have created a panic in certain areas towards war-mindedness.  

Booth seems to understand the war hysteria and the firing of all Japanese city and county employees in LA as part of a larger political theatre for Republican gain.
