Broadside instructs Japanese American residents in City of Seattle, southeast, state of Washington, that they will be excluded from the area by May 9, 1942 and to prepare for evacuation by that date to a Civil Control Office in the area. Residents failing to comply with the Civil Exclusion Order would be subject to criminal penalties and immediately apprehended and interned.
