no sense in this country running even the slightest risk of a major disaster from enemy groups within the nation. A Washington Post editorial dated February 22, 1942, stated that: There is but one way in which to regard the Presidential order empowering the Army to establish "military areas" from which citizens or aliens may be excluded. That is to accept the order as a necessary accompaniment of total defense.

The government also operated camps for a number of German
