Editor. The New Canadian—Dear
very best.
i Sir: Last week you wrote an editorial
I
Can We Serve Canada?
"How best can we serve Canada?”
is the wisely-chosen theme about
which discussions at the fifth annual
convention of the Japanese Canadian
Citizens' League will centre. This
year, and properly so. the familiar
discussions both on social and eco
nomic problems have been relegated
to the background, and delegates
from all over the province will be
asked to concentrate their thinking
solely upon the answers to this most
pressing question.
This year, too, discussions on the
same topic will be carried out in both
languages, thereby providing deleg
ates not fully at home with the Eng
lish language, the maximum oppor
tunity to make their contribution in
answer to this question of service.
These radical departures from the
procedure accepted in past years have
been prompted by the extreme grav
ity of the situation which faces us
todav. And it is significant that
League officials have framed the con
vention theme in words which prove
the desire of the second generation
to be of service to their country,
words which will permit no reflec
tion upon their loyalty.
If any good whatever may be said
to have come out of the sorrow and
tragedy of war, this much is certain
that the air has been cleared both of
apathetic indifference to very real
problems and of a confused, back
ward indecision. The sharply drawn
lines evolving out of the situation
todav have wakened the second gen
eration to the insecurity of his ma
terial and spiritual happiness, and
have pointed out the only possible
course for them to follow—full and
complete citizenship as Canadians.
The convention theme, “How best
can we serve Canada?” is the con
crete manifestation of this awaken
ing.

Franchise For T hose Who Serve
In Canada's
om the Winnipeg Free Press')
The Japanese issue in B. C. has
arisen in a new form. The Japanese
who are Canadian citizens through
birth or naturalization, were legally
required to take part in the national
registration, and the young Japanese
have since been notified to report for
military training.
Now comes a request from the Van
couver City Council to the Dominion
Government not to call up these
people for service if it means granting
them the Dominion franchise, as was
done with the Japanese who enlisted
in the Canadian forces in the last war.
For years, there has been a desire
not to encourage the Japanese in any
way to live in B. C. They are not
given the provincial franchise, and as
the Dominion Government, in grant
ing the federal franchise, recognizes
and accepts the franchise restrictions
adopted in any of the provinces, the
Japanese in B. C. have never had the
Dominion franchise, except those who
served in the last war.
The Defence Department at Ottawa
is understood to have the whole mat
ter under consideration. Most of the
Japanese in B. C. are Canadian-born
and are. therefore, citizens of Canada.
Many of them are said to be very loyal
to this country and a distinctly loyal
paper, published in English by Japan
ese-Canadian, has a large circulation.
Such people should, naturally be en
rolled in the defence forces. And if
they were, the Dominion Government
should grant them the Dominion
franchise. To withhold it from citi
zens who took part in the defence of
the country would be out of the ques
tion.
The only question to consider seri
ously—and presumably the Defence
Department is doing so—is whether
there is reason to believe that there
are Japanese who are Canadian citi
zens whose loyalty is very doubtful—

Editor. The New Canadian—Dear

i Sir: Last week you wrote an editorial
I
Can We Serve Canada?
"How best can we serve Canada?”
is the wisely-chosen theme about
which discussions at the fifth annual
convention of the Japanese Canadian
Citizens' League will centre. This
year, and properly so. the familiar
discussions both on social and eco
nomic problems have been relegated
to the background, and delegates
from all over the province will be
asked to concentrate their thinking
solely upon the answers to this most
pressing question.
This year, too, discussions on the
same topic will be carried out in both
languages, thereby providing deleg
ates not fully at home with the Eng
lish language, the maximum oppor
tunity to make their contribution in
answer to this question of service.
These radical departures from the
procedure accepted in past years have
been prompted by the extreme grav
ity of the situation which faces us
todav. And it is significant that
League officials have framed the con
vention theme in words which prove
the desire of the second generation
to be of service to their country,
words which will permit no reflec
tion upon their loyalty.
If any good whatever may be said
to have come out of the sorrow and
tragedy of war, this much is certain
that the air has been cleared both of
apathetic indifference to very real
problems and of a confused, back
ward indecision. The sharply drawn
lines evolving out of the situation
todav have wakened the second gen
eration to the insecurity of his ma
terial and spiritual happiness, and
have pointed out the only possible
course for them to follow—full and
complete citizenship as Canadians.
The convention theme, “How best
can we serve Canada?” is the con
crete manifestation of this awaken
ing.

Franchise For T hose Who Serve
In Canada's
om the Winnipeg Free Press')
The Japanese issue in B. C. has
arisen in a new form. The Japanese
who are Canadian citizens through
birth or naturalization, were legally
required to take part in the national
registration, and the young Japanese
have since been notified to report for
military training.
Now comes a request from the Van
couver City Council to the Dominion
Government not to call up these
people for service if it means granting
them the Dominion franchise, as was
done with the Japanese who enlisted
in the Canadian forces in the last war.
For years, there has been a desire
not to encourage the Japanese in any
way to live in B. C. They are not
given the provincial franchise, and as
the Dominion Government, in grant
ing the federal franchise, recognizes
and accepts the franchise restrictions
adopted in any of the provinces, the
Japanese in B. C. have never had the
Dominion franchise, except those who
served in the last war.
The Defence Department at Ottawa
is understood to have the whole mat
ter under consideration. Most of the
Japanese in B. C. are Canadian-born
and are. therefore, citizens of Canada.
Many of them are said to be very loyal
to this country and a distinctly loyal
paper, published in English by Japan
ese-Canadian, has a large circulation.
Such people should, naturally be en
rolled in the defence forces. And if
they were, the Dominion Government
should grant them the Dominion
franchise. To withhold it from citi
zens who took part in the defence of
the country would be out of the ques
tion.
The only question to consider seri
ously—and presumably the Defence
Department is doing so—is whether
there is reason to believe that there
are Japanese who are Canadian citi
zens whose loyalty is very doubtful—
enough of them to justify the exemp
tion of all Japanese from military ser
vice as a general precaution, or to
make it advisable to out them in serThe note from the Vancouver City .vice in Eastern Canada. To discrimin
