I COMMENT YOU AND THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE FOR YOUR EFFORT TO FULLY CONSIDER THE LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS TO IMPLEMENT THE COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATIONS. NO MATTER HOW HARD THIS TASK IS, I BELIEVE IT IS THE OBLIGA­ TION OF A FAIR AND JUST GOVERNMENT TO REPAY CITIZENS FOR PROPERTY TAKEN BY THAT GOVERNMENT, EVEN WHERE THE MOTIVE IS TO PROTECT THE NATION IN TIME OF WAR. THE OBLIGATION TO REPAY INNOCENT CITIZENS FOR PROPERTY TAKEN BY GOVERNMENT IS NOT LOST SOLELY THROUGH THE PASSAGE OF TIME.

The History of Japanese Racism, Japanese American Redress, and the Dangers Associated with Government Regulation of Hate Speech by HIROSHI FUKURAI AND ALICE YANG* Introduction Japan has numerically small yet historically significant racial and ethnic minority populations. These groups include indigenous Ainu people, Ryukyuans, Koreans, Chinese, Burakumins, and newly arrived foreign workers from around the globe, all of whom remain among Japan's marginalized populations. Despite the fact that Japan's Constitution prohibits discrimination because of "race, creed, sex, social status or family origin,"' Japanese society has long tolerated hate speech and racial animosity toward Japan's minority populations. In order to regulate hate speech, Professor Craig Martin calls for greater government involvement in the revision of Japan's hate speech laws to include more specific restrictions and sanctions.
