Justification for the exclusion is sought, instead, mainly upon questionable racial and ideological grounds not ordinarily
within the realm of expert military judgment, supplemented by certain semi‐military conclusions drawn from an
unwarranted use of circumstantial evidence. Individuals of Japanese ancestry are condemned because they are said to be
“a large, unassimilated, tightly knit racial group, bound to an enemy nation by strong ties of race, culture, custom and
religion.” They are claimed to be given to “emperor worshiping ceremonies” and to “dual citizenship.” Japanese language
schools and allegedly pro‐Japanese organizations are cited as evidence of possible group disloyalty, together with facts as to
certain persons being educated and residing at length in Japan.…

She had gone back to Tara once in fear and defeat and she had emerged from its sheltering walls strong and armed for
victory. What she had done once, somehow–please God, she could do again! How, she did not know. She did not want to
think of that now. All she wanted was a breathing space in which to hurt, a quiet place to lick her wounds, a haven in
which to plan her campaign. She thought of Tara and it was as if a gentle cool hand were stealing over her heart. She could
see the white house gleaming welcome to her through the reddening autumn leaves, feel the quiet hush of the country
twilight coming down over her like a benediction, feel the dews falling on the acres of green bushes starred with fleecy
white, see the raw color of the red earth and the dismal dark beauty of the pines on the rolling hills.
She felt vaguely comforted, strengthened by the picture, and some of her hurt and frantic regret was pushed from the top
of her mind. She stood for a moment remembering small things, the avenue of dark cedars leading to Tara, the banks of
cape jessamine bushes, vivid green against the white walls, the fluttering white curtains. And Mammy would be there.
Suddenly she wanted Mammy desperately, as she had wanted her when she was a little girl, wanted the broad bosom on
which to lay her head, the gnarled black hand on her hair. Mammy, the last link with the old days. With the spirit of her
people who would not know defeat, even when it stared them in the face, she raised her chin. She could get Rhett back.
She knew she could. There had never been a man she couldn’t get, once she set her mind upon him.
“I’ll think of it all tomorrow, at Tara. I can stand it then. Tomorrow, I’ll think of some way to get him back. After all,
tomorrow is another day.”
