Article Evaluation[edit]

Although this article is a good start, it still needs significant work. For one, the sections within the article are very basic, and do not go deep into the topic. Along with that, there needs to be more citations; for example the reference in the McCarran-Walter Act section no longer exists, and there is only one source in the reference section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vaidehi2399 (talk • contribs) 21:06, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Property Dispossession Source[edit]

Journalist Gus Russo has several pages discussing the systematic private profiteering at the expense of Japanese Americans following the attack on Pearl Harbor in his book, Supermob: How Sidney Korshak and His Criminal Associates Became America's Hidden Power Brokers (Bloomsbury, 2007). The book was reviewed in SFGate by Trey Popp, who writes: "Russo's chapter on the shameless plundering of the assets of imprisoned Japanese Americans during World War II, presided over by a bevy of Korshak's associates, is particularly stirring." The book was also reviewed in the Chicago Tribune by Hillel Levin, who writes: "[Jacob Arvey's] clout with the Truman administration put a protege in charge of property seized from German companies and interned Japanese-Americans. Russo documents how these West Coast assets were sold for a fraction of their value to silent mob partners and the young lawyers, Arvey accomplices, who served as their frontmen." Russo also mentions how the reparations paid to Japanese Americans in the 1980s amounted to probably pennies on the dollar. It might be good to work some of this material into the article. --Mox La Push (talk) 09:38, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
