to their welfare as citizens ot Canaaa.

Fundamentals Involved
In a radio address last week com­
memorating the first anniversary of
the war, Prime Minister King again
laid stress upon the necessity of main­
taining within Canada a spirit of
democratic unity as the living and
vital force through which a victory
over Nazi Germany may be won.
For second generation Japanese in
British Columbia that message to the
people of Canada is of deep signifi­
cance. For the ideal of democratic
unity presupposes a recognition of the
equality of rights and responsibilities
of every citizen and the acceptance by
the nation of all groups within as
one.
It is not too much to hope that
the people of the province too will
take that message to heart. For ad­
mittedly it has never been upheld in
British Columbia insofar as Canadian
citizens of Japanese ancestry are con­
cerned. Indeed, it is an ideal which
has been and is yet flagrantly vio­
lated. Only last week the AttorneyGeneral issued an order prohibiting
Orientals from possessing firearms,
and making no distinction whatever
between Canadians of Japanese origin
and alien Japanese.
It is upon this fundamental point
that the whole concept of Canadian
democracy and the rights of British
subjects has never been realized. For
it has been British Columbia’s policy
to regard Canadian-born Japanese as
foreign aliens; and their rights as
British subjects have been disregard­
ed to make them victims of unjust
discriminatory treatment.
But if Canadians believe in the
ideal of democratic unity, if they be­
lieve it an ideal worthy of fighting
a war abroad to uphold, they can­
not justify an internal policy which
defeats that very ideal at home. And
until Canadian-born Japanese are re­
garded as Canadians and given con­
sideration as such, no amount of
struggle on their part can ever make
them fully Canadian. This is a fun­
damental truth which we intend to
bring to the attention of the Cana­
dian public again and again, until
Canadian-born Japanese have won
acceptance as Canadians.

Holiday With Pay
If any tribute to or evidence of the
value of the labour movement to the
second generation were needed, La­
bour Day week-end offered it to the
careful observer.
Visiting the city from many out­
lying centres, and enjoying a unique
experience were a number of Nisei
mill employees. Their unique experi­
ence of enjoying a holiday with pay
-—a privilege usually accorded to
those who work on a monthly salary,
and only very rarely to those em­
ployed on an hourly-wage basis.
Directly responsible for the win­
ning of this unique privilege is of
course the International Labour
Union in the pulp and paper town
of Ocean Falls. Through the strug­

gle and self-sacrifice of its members,
this privilege has been won for em­
ployees in other pulp and paper towns
of rhe province.
With such concrete evidence be­
fore them, rhe Nisei would be blind
the labour movement to themselves,
indeed to fail to realize the value of
For better or for worse, economic
circumstances have destined the great­
er part of the second generation to
take its place as a labouring group.
And their fortunes will rise and fall
with the fortunes of labour.

Our Anniversary
Just a year ago the first weekly
issue of The New Canadian rolled
ofi the press, a Nisei paper, dedicated
to the service of second generation
Japanese in Canada.
World history, perhaps, has seen
no more stirring year—a year of un­
expected and challenging change, of
the collapse of accepted ideas and be­
liefs. of the rise of new forces to rage
over the earth, of bitter tragedy and
inspired heroism.
Under the stress and strain of this
upheaval in an established world or­
der, new problems have arisen here
at home to beset the second genera­
tion. New instances of prejudice, dis­
order and discrimination have arisen;
new and conflicting thoughts have
formed within the Nisei mind, leav­
ing us a prey to doubt and uncer­
tainty.
Through this past year of confus­
ion, this paper has striven to supply
leadership for the Nisei. For our ‘gen­
eration born to struggle, we have
sought to fill the need for a focal
point in our struggle, a rallying cry
for the faint-hearted and valiant
alike. Inexperienced as we may have
been, we have been deeply conscious
of our responsibilities—to act as a
medium of education for the Nisei
and the Canadian public, to voice
to Canadian society the thoughts and
aspirations of the second generation,
to lead in the formation of public
opinion. Whether we have fulfilled
these responsibilities we can only
leave to you to judge.
But of this much we are convinced,
and it is no false optimism that leads
us to these convictions. In spite of
the ominous clouds that still darken
the future, out of the confused welter
of misconceptions surrounding the
second generation there is ..arising a
new, and more tolerant appreciation
of the problems of the second gen­
eration among Canadians in general.
In the Nisei themselves, there may
yet be doubt, but there is too the
growing conviction that there can
never be a retreat from the road our
parents have set our feet upon. His­
tory has made us citizens of Canada,
and we cannot turn back the pages
of history to seek escape from our
problems.
And in The New Canadian itself,
we too have glimpsed a new under­
standing of the broader purpose
which this Nisei paper must serve.
No longer can we declare ourselves
simply an organ of the second gen­
eration. Rather indeed is it now our
task to play our part in the building
of a nation in Canada, a nation that
shall boast no finer group within it
—no more enduring, no more re­
sponsible citizens—than that which
shall include Canadians of Japanese
ancestry.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Editor, The New Canadian—Dear Sir:
Can't the JCCL or somebody do some­
thing about this order of the Govern­
ment requiring all Orientals, whether
they are British subjects or not, to de­
posit their guns with the police for the
duration of the war?

I think it’s just an act of discrimina­
tion that we should fight against as hard
as possible. There might be some reason
for an order like that for aliens, whether
Jews, Japanese, or Germans, but it’s un­
reasonable to make it apply to Canadian
citizens just because they are Chinese
or Japanese?
I’ve been hunting in the fall and win­
ter for the past ten years. Now the Gov­
ernment wants to take my guns away
from me, stack them up where they
won’t be looked after, so they’ll become
all rusty, for nobody knows how long.

kace Prejudice

For The Canadian Born

And The American Ideal

(From the Marpole-Richmond Review)

. . . Racial prejudice isn't something that
Hitler invented, though the author of Meh
Kampf has been a master at exploiting it k:
political purposes. We have always had
racial prejudice, in varying degrees, in this
country though the founding fathers or Ah
Lincoln never willed it so. We have it todav
in residential and occupational restrictions
and bars, the Ghettos of the big cities, the
Jim Crow towns of the Deep South. We
have it today in the hot, lush valleys of the
west coast, in segregated schools and theatres,
on bathing beaches. We find it in the radio
blasts of Father Coughlin (the Church has
always preached tolerance and he is not a
spokesman for it) , in the anti-Semitism of
an industrial tycoon like Henry Ford, in
Charles Lindbergh’s hints of race superioritv.
* * *
On the Atlantic seaboard this prejudice is
strongest against rhe Americans of Jewish
extraction; in the southern states it is directed
against the Negro race. In many west coast
communities there is feeling against the Jap­
anese, Chinese and the Filipino. Even in the
sun-kissed paradise of Hawaii there persists
on some measure the figment of “haole su­
periority, although the territory, only a step­
sister of the 48 American commonwealths,
sets a lesson in racial co-operation and good­
will which shames the mainland states. And
the bogey of inferiority has thwarted the
children of these minority groups lashed by
the whip of prejudice.
* * *
The ghost of the Yellow Peril, a vision
conjured by unscrupulous journalism, still
haunts the Little Tokyos and Chinatowns.
In Los Angeles Niseis are fighting for a Y
cent place to live, fighting personal prejuoat
as well as municipal ordinances. In Florin J
fight was recently7 won and school segrega,
tion was abolished after a duration. In many^
communities the “white trade only sun.
still bar American citizens.
* * *
We believe the Nisei should support thus
organizations and individuals who believe .n
the fullest extent of the American ideal.
We believe that all prejudice must be
fought, now and forever, whether H «
against the Jews, against Catholics.
.
victory for prejudice is a triumph or -.
ideals personified by Hitler who is marc < e
to his own Valhalla on the broken back
Jews. Poles, and Czechs. There, vou
little place in America if the Amencan Hit.ers
ever come to power . . .___—

. . . Those prejudice against the Japanese
declare that even those born in this country
would never renounce their allegiance to the
land of their fathers.

But on what grounds do such critics base
their conclusion?
Local young people of the second genera­
tion have persistently avowed their wish to
become Canadians in every sense of the word.
Seme have temporarily returned to the old
country and have found life there distasteful
to them. They do not fit in with the old
customs and ideas of their fathers and speedily
they return to this country as soon as cir­
cumstances will permit. They have gone to
Canadian schools, adopted Canadian ways
and the Canadian outlook. They feel i'll at
case at home and resent the restrictions placed
upon them by age-old customs and creeds.
Yet when they come back to this land
they are again made to feel that they do not
belong. They are refused citizenship, and at
every turn made to feel that they are out­
casts and strangers. These boys and girls of
the second generation are virtually people
without a country. They have outgrown
Japan and yet they cannot be accepted here.
Until' citizenship- in Canada has been
offered them, have careless critics the right
to declare that the loyalty of these young
people rests across the water rather than
in the new land of their birth?
Germans, Doukhobors, Greeks and every
other nationality in Canada are all allowed
to become naturalized citizens, and if born
here they automatically become Canadian
citizens.
What is there in the Canadian constitu­
tion which treats one race in one way and
another race otherwise? If the law says that
any one race in one way and another race
otherwise? If the law says that anyone born
in Canada is a .Canadian citizen then why
is not the Canadian-born Japanese auto­
matically a Canadian?
There is such a thing as consistency, and
in this discrimination against a certain race
it seems there is little or no consistency.
Can any country ask loyalty and war
service from men who are regarded by that
country as aliens?
These people are here. Wisely or unwisely
they have been invited to this country and
arc still being admitted. Their children have
been born here and wish to become respon­
sible citizens on reaching maturity.
What good is going to result, we ask, in
refusing them a chance to show and express
their loyalty to that country which is their
birth-place?
Or, what harm is going to result from
permitting them to become Canadians?

When every oth^r nationality »
by reason of his Canadian birthcan the Dominion-born Japanese
this privilege?
According to British law a
in Canada can go to England, an
citizenship. How then can it *from him in Canada?
