This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
Based on information in Conn, et al, Guarding the United States and its Outposts,
pp. 120-123, which I have cited, I've added information on accusations of espionage by Japanese Americans in the Roberts Commission report to this article, and to the articles on
Internment of Japanese Americans, the
Western Defense Command, and Gen.
John L. DeWitt. Information on the report's accusations of Japanese espionage was previously absent from these articles.

This is not quite accurate. The Roberts Commission report vaguely accused Japanese consular agents and "others" of espionage, but made no mention of Japanese Americans. I've just added some additional information to your edit to make this clear. (Same for
Internment of Japanese Americans.)

Thanks for being more accurate about what the report said, while preserving the fact that it was used to justify Japanese-American incarceration.

"Being more accurate" needs better sourcing. In the John L. DeWitt article, in the last paragraph of section "World War II", the phrase "...the Roberts Commission report of January 25, 1942 accusing persons of Japanese ancestry of widespread espionage in Hawaii prior to Pearl Harbor..." was borrowed from the "Conn, et al" source document, which claims that's what the Roberts report says. Can someone with access to the Roberts report check out these conflicting claims?
