What was the American Government hoping to achieve by paying the Japanese to work and farm? That they would maintain their dignity
That they would become self-sustaining
That they would thus be able to prove their loyalty to America
That they would see that the American Government was not out to harm them

so that they could work for them while the U.S could go into battle while their crops back home are all gardened. plus some of the japanese were prisoners. i hope this has helped and im truly sorry if im wrong.
