 300 Nisei men from eight of the ten War Relocation Authority camps were arrested and stood trial for felony draft evasion; most were sentenced to federal prison.American Communists also opposed the war by forming the "American Peace Committee", which tried to organize a coalition of anti-war groups.This lasted until Germany attacked the Soviet Union in June 1941, whereupon they changed the Committee's name to the "American People's Committee" and supported aid to Britain, the draft and other preparations for war.
