TITLE War Relocation Authority Application for Leave Clearance DESCRIPTION War Relocation Authority Application for Leave Clearance For women, page 1 CONTEXT "When they came recruiting for army volunteers, they said we had to prove ourselves. I felt why should we prove ourselves? The government has to prove itself to us first. And we had these loyalty questionnaires in camp. That was a very mixed emotional thing. What could we say? In order to leave the relocation center, your answer had to be positive. There were a lot of emotions that you had to confront."
