当時の発行を続けた社員らの状況と、その思いが伝わる内容だ。大戦開始の翌日に発行ができた理由は、北米時事社の編集責任者代理となった日比谷が『ジャパニーズ・アメリカン・クーリエ(Japanese American Courier)』紙(週刊英字紙)のジェームス坂本に依頼して、ワシントン州検事総長の了解をもらったからだと文献に記述がある。
1942年3月12日号第1面の「 This is our last shot in writing」と第3面の「本紙は一時休刊」
This Is Our Last Shot in Writing Beginning tomorrow, THE NORTH AMERICAN TIMES will be no more. Just how long, we do not know. But the final decision was reached when the United States Treasury Department this morning notified us that the TIMES must cease publication. It must be disheartening news to all of our thousands of readers throughout the North-west who have always looked forward to each copy of the TIMES for its accurate account of activities among residence Japanese. And it is also disheartening to us in that we – and much as we hated to see this come to a head – must suspend publication, especially in view of the fact that the TIMES, established in 1903, was the oldest Japanese language and English section family newspaper in the North-west. And we are more so disappointed because we are no longer able to serve the Japanese public as a medium of the releasing valuable information for the United States Department of Justice, War Department and other government agencies. Yes, regretfully disappointed because we felt that it was vitally necessary to have the TIMES continue, at least until the evacuation of the Japanese, so that resident Japanese of American ideals and democracy may be kept intact so as to comply sanely with army and government officials. With this edition, the TIMES says “30” and with a “30” ending, the editors honestly hope the Japanese readers of this newspaper will not lose confidence in the United States and continue to support the cause for which the United States is fighting.
20世紀に入ると、シアトル日本人コミュニティーの発展と共に多くの邦字新聞が誕生した。北米時事は、歯科医だった隅元 清、平出商店創業者の平出倉之助、矢田貝柔二、山本一郎の4名が出資、山田作太郎(鈍牛)を最初の主筆として、1902年9月1日に日刊邦字新聞として創刊した。当時のオフィスは、S. Jackson St.沿いにあった平出商店の階下に置かれた。
『新日本』も同年に創刊。続いて1905年3月1日に『旭新聞』、1910年1月1日に『大北日報』が創刊された。邦字新聞はシアトルに住む日本人にとって、なくてはならない重要な情報源だった。
