Japanese American Evacuation Original Church-Backed Resolution of 1942

1942220261942. Evacuation of the Japanese and National Policy 1942 records an official response by a Protestant denomination to the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II. Issued by the National General Council of Congregational Christian Churches the document addresses the government policy that removed tens of thousands of people of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast following the attack on Pearl Harbor and the wartime order authorizing their relocation. The resolution discusses the moral implications of the policy enacted under Executive Order 9066 and reflects the complicated response among American religious institutions that attempted to reconcile wartime nationalism with concerns about civil rights and racial discrimination. The text demonstrates how Protestant leadership publicly addressed the incarceration of Japanese Americans while emphasizing the churches' perceived responsibility to guide public opinion on issues of minority rights and national security.<br /> <br /> Evacuation of the Japanese and National Policy. National General Council of Congregational Christian Churches 1942. Original mimeographed document. The two page statement appears to be a variant form of a resolution adopted by the Council in June 1942. In this version the text is organized as eight points rather than the ten included in the Council's formally published resolution indicating internal circulation or a modified draft used within denominational channels. The document opens with an appeal to "Christian conscience" and the "long range interest of our nation" referencing the removal of approximately seventy thousand American citizens and forty thousand Japanese nationals. While praising the military for what the resolution describes as the "conscientious and humane execution" of the evacuation and acknowledging the activities of the War Relocation Authority the text also expresses concern about racial discrimination in the policy.<br /> <br /> The statement acknowledges that "all persons of Japanese stock. were the only group subjected to evacuation without hearings or other means of determining loyalty" highlighting the absence of individual due process in the wartime removal program. The resolution condemns attempts to disenfranchise Japanese Americans and encourages tolerance for their eventual return to their homes arguing that "every instance in which the majority in the nation deprives an unpopular minority of its civil rights weakens the safeguards of its own liberties." At the same time the text endorses the original military policy of voluntary evacuation and explains that its failure resulted from increasing hostility toward Japanese Americans in inland communities. The document therefore provides evidence of the tension within religious institutions attempting to balance wartime loyalty with criticism of racial discrimination and civil liberties violations. Two mimeographed pages. Light creasing and mild yellowing with oxidation around the staple. Overall condition very good. unknown

John Roget [Jean Roget] (1751-1783), Geneva-born pastor of two French protestant churches in London, father of Thesaurus compileBiblio.com

John Roget Jean Roget Geneva-born pastor in London father of Peter Mark Roget of the ‘Thesaurus’ and brother-in-law of Sir Samuel Romilly. Autograph Notebook in French with apparently-original compositions and extracts from other authors.

24884Undated but probably started after 1773 and in part written after his arrival in London from Geneva in 1775. See the entries in the Oxford DNB for his brother-in-law Sir Samuel Romilly and his son Peter Mark Roget as well as Joshua Kendall’s 2008 biography of the latter ‘The Man Who Made Lists’. From the Roget family papers and certainly of later date than the two schoolboy commonplace books by Jean Roget offered separately. Roget is not named as the author but the handwriting is his and the spine bears the remains of a blue paper label with the words ‘MSS of the Rev. J. Roget’ on it the same nineteenth-century hand P. M. Roget's as the two commonplace books. From the dates of some of the items in the present volume it is clear that it was begun after 1773 and probably written at least in part after Roget’s settlement in England in 1775. The volume is 78pp small 4to and written in a close neat hand. Internally in good condition lightly aged in worn and grubby half-vellum covers with grey paper boards. At one end of the volume are 27pp of possibly original compositions; and starting at the other end once the volume has been turned upside-down are a further 47pp of extracts from identified sources. The 27-page section is followed by two inserted items also in Jean Roget’s autograph totalling 4pp the second being a three-page bifolium carrying Jean Roget’s transcription of the ‘Épitre d’Anne de Boleyn en prison à Henry VIII son époux’ of Rapin-Thoyras exhibiting some differences from the version printed by Raoul de Cazenove in 1866. It is hard to tell which if any of the pieces in this volume are original compositions since none are attributed but it would appear that the 27pp at one end are by Roget himself. They bear the titles: ‘Ya-t-il des préjugés respectables’ ‘Pourquoi les François ont-ils si peu ou de si mauvaises traductions en vers des anciens Poëtes Grecs et Latins tandis que les Anglois et les Italiens en ont plusieurs qui sont estimés’ ‘Quelle est la méthode d’étudier la plus convenable aux diférens sic Caracteres d’esprit’ ‘Sur la litterature des Grecs et des Romains’ ‘Extrait d’un plus long discours sur cette Question / Que doit-on penser de cette Sensibilité dont on se pique de nos jours’ ‘de l’Esprit’ ‘Plan d’un discours sur cette Question / Convient-il de parler de Religion aux enfans et s’il y a des distinctions à faire quelles sont-elles’ The 47pp of extracts from other writers begin with a seven-page transcription from Holbach’s 1773 ‘Systême social’. Montesquieu’s ‘Persian Letters’ the ‘Mœurs’ of ‘Panage’ Jean Pey’s ‘Le Philosophe Catéchisme’ Saurin’s ‘Sermons’. The only English text in the volume is a five-page transcription ‘From Lord Bolingbroke’s Reflexions on Exile’. There are only two poems in the main body of text: a jeu d’esprit titled ‘L’Observateur’ ‘Lorsque je suis au Luxembourg’ and a five-page piece titled ‘Les Perdrix Conte’ ‘Un vieux Oncle bavard mais qui me mentoit guere’. Undated, but probably started after 1773, and in part written after his arrival in London from Geneva in 1775. hardcover
