HOWARD TOOLE W. T- BOONE TOOLE 5c BOONE ATTORNEYS AND COUNSELLORS AT LAW MONTANA BUILDING MIS SOU LA, MONTANA J. W. RIMEL April 13, 1942• Hon. S. C. Ford, Governor of Montana, Hele na, Montana. Dear Governor! ■ > ! 5 i ! i ! 1 ; I called you by phone yesterday because I was anxious to stop any possible reaction which might occur in this community from Dr. Melby's suggestion that Japan¬ ese students might be acceptable at the UTxiversity of Montana. This community, as you know, has just gone through considerable discussion, with substantial opposi¬ tion to brirjgirig in Japanese labor in the beet fields. i/feny people have been opposed to that although I do think most people are sensible about it and I, among others, felt that we ought not to oppose the welfare of the in¬ dustry by reason of prejudice against the Japanese. However, Dr. Melby's statement came out in the morning Missoulian on the same day when the Missoula County draft numbers vs^ere announced and in the draft num¬ bers were a great mary young University students, amor^ whom was my own son,who have either been taken out of college or have voluntarily left in anticipation of the draft. One woman whose son has a low draft number and is a Junior at the University thought that her son would be called immediately before he could finish this year and she was quite hysterical about the prospect that a Japanese might be permitted to come here to more or less take his place. Numerous other people have spoken to me about the matter and they all seem to feel about the same way. I have been very much in favor of Dr. Melby be¬ cause I think that he was a fine selection and taking a difficult job so I have been a substantial booster for him whenever the occasion arose but I am sure that this kind of a pronouncement will have a bad effect on the University as well as on Dr. ifelby. I am also sure that many people in Montana will be reluctant to send their children to college
