Nisei Farmers League president Harry Kubo described how the dreams and hopes I had about being somebody in America sud• denly anished when he was interned as a young man. However, he said that tho e who suffered most are already dead or are at an advanced age. Kubo expressed his agr ment with all the recommendations of the Commission on War• time Relocation and Internment of Ci ilians except the provision for individual payments which he said " would be administrati ely dif• ficult to implement ' and could be " conceived to be more objectionable to those most enti• tled to be compensated.
