A compromise on the settlement of Japanese alien property claims led this four-page issue. Mike Masaoka’s Washington Newsletter covered Senate and House action on deposit settlements and related developments in Congress.
The commentary pages turned to two other subjects. The PC Board reviewed the newspaper’s 1963 financial statement and weighed budget options for 1964, including higher subscription rates, less frequent publication and more advertising income. Another piece looked at Japanese American political participation in California, setting the anti-Japanese politics of the past beside recent elections and the part Japanese American candidates and voters played in civil rights outcomes.
