Licensing Power
Vancouver Board of Trade has
given notice that it opposes in its
entirety a charter amendment sought
bv the city, whereby unlimited power
over the regulation and issuance of
trades licences would be conferred
upon the City Council. Admittedly an
attempt to discriminate against Orien­
tals through indirect wording, the
amendment asked is the result of
years of effort to impose further re­
strictions upon economic oppoituni
ties of a racial group in Canaua.
The Board of Trade has not as yet
made public its reasons for opposing
the amendment, other than the very
trenchant suggestion that the City
already had sufficient power over the
issuance of trades licences to ensure
the proper conduct of business, and
that under the new measure, the in­
dividual citizen would lose his demo­
cratic right of appeal.

The problem is one of far-reaching
importance to Orientals in Canada
particularly; and yet it is of equal im­
portance to every citizen concerned
with die preservation of democratic
rights and liberties. For there can be
no doubt that the grant of such un­
limited power upon the Council con­
stitutes but another step in the longseries of encroachments upon those
very rights and liberties. It is a fun­
damental principle of our self-gov­
ernment that bureaucratic control
should be reserved to the minimum
necessary for the "peace, order and
good government” of the country. It
is equally fundamental that no in­
dividual should be denied the right
of appeal to such bureaucratic boards,
or in the last resort to the courts of
law, which through the centuries have
rightly been acknowledged as the
stronghold of British freedom. Yet
throughout the past two decades these
principles have been gradually un­
dermined by the continued extension
of absolute or discretionary power
conferred upon boards and other gov­
erning bodies, and the right, of appeal
in innumerable cases has been denied.

In time of war undoubtedly con­
siderations of national safety require
that the citizens be willing to sur­
render a part of their individual lib­
erty and freedom. But neither a time
of war nor a time of peace is a time
for rhe imposition of unnecessary and
unjust bureaucratic control, which
constitutes an undeniable menace to
the freedom of any individual, of
whatever class, creed, or colour.

If the City Council, seeking the
power of racial discrimination, secures
such power in unlimited terms, it may
be used or directed against any in­
dividual or group of individuals, in
a manner wholly inconsistent with the
very principles of freedom and selfgovernment for which we fight in
Europe today.

One member of the Memphis

his many
achievements, he made negro music
preferred for rhythm in the "Castle
Walk," a dance vogue of the Ameri­
can stage launched by the celebrat­

in 1913-15.
So, ragtime was "in," in its turn
to become the forerunner of modern

situation prior
was one which the Japanese, had they
chosen, might have protracted indermitciy.
Even the doctrine ot non-recognition might
have lapsed if China herseit had recognized
the new order. Japan, however, took a
very different line and invited a crisis or
showdown in her relations with the United
States by openly signing a treaty with Italy
and Germany pledging mutual assistance
should either party come into conflict with
a power now neutral . . .

The effect of the treaty on the United
States was not to drive that country from
the Far East. On the contrary, the loan
which had been made to China was fol­
lowed by the prohibition of the export of
scrap iron, to Japan, by the large scale
withdrawal of Americans from Japan and
China and it was clear that the United
States wished Great Britain to re-open the
Burma Road when the date came on which
the agreement with Japan terminated. The
effect on American opinion was two-fold.
The treaty made it dear-that the United
States would—to put it in colloquial lan­
guage—have to "put up or shut up." The
treaty also made it clear that regionalism
was a dream of the past. For Japan in link­
ing the new order in Asia with the new
world order of the Axis had forced the
United States to challenge both or neither.
N the face of this response in the U.S.
J- Japan may appear to have had a moment j
of hesitation. After all conflict with a great I
naval power is a serious business for an ।
island empire. It was explained that the '
new world order would willingly receive the j
United States as a partner. And no action j
was taken against Great Britain either^
when the intention to open the Burma :
Road was announced or when the road was j
actually opened. In the meantime negotia- ’
tions were opened with Russia in the hope I
of a non-aggression pact. Let us note at j
this point that Russia, as usual, is an un- |
known factor in the situation. On the one |
hand, the American doctrine of non-recog- j
nition must be as distasteful to Russia as j
to Japan; on the other, Russia has no love I
for Japan and may be apprehensive of be- j
ing herself one of the powers against which 1
the recent treaty might operate.
j

Great Britain's action in not renewing i
the agreement to close the Burma Road
has not led to an immediate clash with
Japan, but shipments from Canada and
India have been restricted and Japanese
nationals are being evacuated from Great
Britain. The renewal of shipments from
Hong Kong by sea would be still more pro­
vocative; for Japan, not technically at war
with China, has no established right to
seize them. But these shipments have not
been made. A break may come at any time.
If it does how far, if at all, will the United
States feel bound to come to Britain's aid?
No binding guarantee could be given ex­
cept by treaty and a treaty requires a twothirds majority in the Senate.
In the absence of a treaty is there any moral
obligation consciously assumed either by
the Administration or by the American
people? We do not know'. The British Empi re has had to take the very risk from
which it shrank in 1931. Presumably that
risk has been taken only after inquiry. If
ims fairly safe to assume that the
Japan and the Axis will be fol­

Italo-German-Japanese military alliance unfort
thing may turn up which can serve the
purpose of Japanese diplomacy.
There is the case on both sides for delay.
It is a fragile case which may be torn aside
any day. It seems likely that it will be
Japan which will finally take the decisive
action, for unless a quick decision is
reached in Europe, long delay would be
fatal to Japan. But there is room for careful timing and wie may find that the decisive action comes in combination with
new developments in Europe.

lowed in the not distant future oy war
between Japan, Great Britain and United
States. Japan seems to have assumed that
she was faced with one of those crises in
which prompt action is needed unless mat­
ters are to grow worse. And Japan as usual
did not flinch from drastic action, Perhaps
we ought to ask ourselves not whether
there will be war or not but why war has
not already broken out.

ET us look first at the position of the
U.S. administration
United States
has every ground for delay. The long term ।
re-armament policy of the U.S. which in ।
the course of a few years will develop
overwhelming strength is slow in getting
under way. If it has time to mature it may
be possible that Japan will bow before
irresistible force without carrying the issue
to point of war. The interim steps which
have been taken to remove civilians from
the Far East and to reduce the exports of
war materials to Japan tend to weaken
Japan and to strengthen the hand of the
U.S. As long as actual war does not break
out in the Far East, the U.S. is relatively
free to extend help to Great Britain in a
theatre of conflict which is of greater im­
portance than the Far East. An American
election is imminent. A firm policy is an
asset to a presidential candidate—the out­
break of war unless the United States had
been $ directly attacked might be used
against him. It is easy to see why the U.S.
should not force the pace in the conflict
with Japan.

TAPAN'S delay iis perhaps rather harder
its continuance canto understand and
;
•not be safely predicted. If the New Order
cannot be abandoned and if direct conflict
with the United States must be faced, what
can be gained by postponing the evil day?
No doubt there are some preparations to
be made. An agreement with Russia, if it
can be negotiated, would secure one flank.
Military occupation of French Indo-China
can be made to secure the other. Perhaps
it is worth seeing whether the newly opened
Burma Road can be cut by air action. Per­
haps it would be even more useful to see
if a vigorous thrust along the Indo-China
Railway could be carried as far as its junc­
tion with the Burma Road. If the New
Order could be imposed on China by force
and the United States faced with an ac­
complished fact, might not the U.S. be
driven to recognize the New Order or at
least to accept som compromise with it
which would safeguard immediate American interests?. . . .
Finally, Japan may be
to wait
'y
until after the American elections to see
if any significant political change results
from them, it is not long to wait and some-

\UHAT form may we expect such action
" to take? There are two possibilities,
One is the Axis technique of a series of
encroachments, no one of which provokes
enough resentment to make war an easy
response by a democratic state. The weak­
ness of this technique is that responses
short of war are peculiarly easy for Great
Britain and the United States acting in
concert. Greater help to China can always
be given. And greater restrictions can be
put on Japan's vital foreign trade. The
alternative, much more in Japanese tradi­
tion, if that may be judged by the attack
on Port Arthur which initiated the RussoJapanese war, or by the events of 1931 or
of 1937, would be a surprise attack on
some vital point, on a naval base, or even
on the American fleet itself for that after
all is the vital menace to Japan. The draw­
back to this method is that it would unite
American opinion and remove all need for
a Congressional declaration of war. The
common sense conclusion seems to be
that if a blow falls it will likely be struck
against some British interest, in the hope
that it will likely be followed by a period
of democratic indecision in the United
States.

THERE is one aspect of the crisis in the
Far East which may affect us here in
Vancouver and I think it is best that we
should face it frankly. In any war between
Japan and Great Britain or between Japan
and the United States, Canada, although
not a principal in the quarrel is certain to
be a belligerent. But there is an appreci­
able number of Canadians (just as of
Americans) who are Japanese by race,
though not nationals of Japan. There are
also some who have a dual nationality. In
the event of war how will the Canadian
government and the Canadian people deal
with this, situation?
j
It would be foolish to think of this ques• tion as a simple one. The foremost con1 sideration must be national safety—and
I the importance of this consideration will
; be fully understood by the men and women
> concerned. But almost as important is the
j question of the permanent situation here,
i ' the undesirability of racial hatreds and

without resentment, to make allowance f-the position and outlook of others, if veu
believe that that outlook, though you m=v
think it mistaken, is none the less sincere
and, in intention, just. It is another matter

We may have within our own commu­
nity one of those tragedies which have
occurred when races in Europe have been
discriminated against; or which have oc­
curred when masses of refugees have been
harshly dealt with because the easiest dis­
guise for the spy or fifth columnist is the
dress of the refugee. In such circumstances
no one can hope to draw a perfect line
between prudent precautions on the one
hand and panicky suspicions on the other.
If we must face (as I am afraid we must!
thU most intractible of problems, let it be
in an earnest endeavour to inflict the min­
imum of harm • on the innocent. Self-in­

are engaged in a struggle which transcends
national and racial lines and we cannot
