Scope and Contents

Policy of the WRA in Providing Food for Relocation Centers: The Nature of the Population – The General Policy of Food – Current Restrictions on the Use of Food – Food in Centers – Contribution of the Evacuees to the National Food-for-Freedom Program: During the agricultural season of 1942, nearly 10,000 evacuees were engaged in agricultural labor, chiefly in sugar beet production. Their contribution to the nation’s sugar supply was substantial, estimated at a year’s ration for 10,000,000 people. It is contemplated that in addition to producing a large amount of their own food, the evacuees will continue to be available for work outside the centers in agriculture and in other occupations contributing to the war effort.
