"A Man in Four Million -- This pouting little man is one of more than four million Japanese repatriates who have been transported to the Japanese homeland from Far Eastern ports and Pacific Islands in a gigantic passenger-carrying operation by the U.S. Navy. A million more such passengers will be repatriated before the end of the year, when the program will be completed. The Navy used Liberty Ships, former naval vessels of Japan and U.S. Navy amphibious craft in carrying out the big job. All costs of the repatriation operation are borne by the Japanese government."--caption on photograph
"Repatriated Japs Revert to Type -- Part of the reconversion that is going on in beaten Japan is that of Japanese who were repatriated from America, either at their own request or for disloyalty to the United States. At Camp Kamoi, repatriation center, the majority of these Japanese throw off the Western customs and revert to the ways of their ancestors. They did for the recent visit of Emperor Hirohito, anyway, kimono wearing repatriates are kneeling and bowing to the Emperor as he enters their quarters." -- caption on photograph
"Barracks for Repatriates -- Wash hangs on a line between unheated wooden barracks, home for Japanese repatriates from the United States until they find a new home or relatives in Japan. More than 2,000 Japanese men, women and children were brought from the United States to Japan on Christmas Day aboard the former luxury liner Matsonia." -- caption on photograph
