Here's a photostatic copy of a registration card such as every
resident of Japanese origin in the province will be required to secure
as evidence of legal status. It measures 4 71 x ZIA inches, fitting
into the average wallet.
.
On top it reads: "The bearer, whose photograph and specimen
of signature appears hereon, has been duly registered in compliance
with the provisions of Order-in-Council P.C. 117." .It is stamped
with date, place, and status, and signed by issuing officer, Inspector
D. L. McGibbon.
On the reverse side are' details as to name, address, age,
height, weight, marks if identification,. and occupation. In the
upper right hand corner is the serial number, 0072 in this case,
and in the lower right a black print of the right thumb. Officers,
by the way, are good enough to clean the ink off your thumb with
a special cleaning fluid. In general the public has been much im
pressed by the efficiency of the registration, as well as the unfailing
courtesy of registering officers.
White cards are issued to Canadian-born, salmon-pink to
naturalized British subjects, and yellow to alien Japanese.
Each card is embossed with the R.C.M#.P. seal and numbered

The Housing Problem
READER of The New Canadian
has written in regard to a question
which . obviously grows increasingly
important in the Japanese community.
He is concerned, and very rightly,
with the evident fact of the shortage
of housing facilities, adequate for
healthful and decent living pur
poses within the boundaries of the
Japanese community. And he of
fers convincing figures to show that
no steps are. being taken, or are
likely to be taken by individuals, to
meet this situation.
'
The war boom in Canada has, of
course, thrown the housing problem
in Canada into very sharp relief; and
estimates have been made that some
50,000 workers are locating near war
industrial
sites
without
adequate
homes. Bu tactually, this question of
substandard housing conditions in the
Japanese community is one that has
long been familiar to us.
In a recent survey in Seatlte, it was
found that some seventy per cent of
the Japanese American residents in
the city lived in homes classed as sub
standard. It is entirely likely that in
the areas bordering upon False Creek
and in the Powell Street area of Van
couver a very similar situation exists.
And the housing shortage is a recog
nized and disturbing factor in many
of the industrial centres wherein large
numbers of Japanese Canadians are
employed.
The shortage, too, of low-rental,
modernized housing units, located
conveniently to places of employ
ment. in the Japanese community,
undoubtedly is one of the more im
portant factors which cause mature
young men to think seriously before
seeking matrimonial bliss, and thus
has tis repercussions in undesirable
social conditions.
Whether a co-operative scheme such
as has been suggested by our reader
is a practical solution is a very moot
point. But one thing is certain. If
all the funds, which in the past have
flown unnecessarily to Japan in the
form of immigrant remittances, had
been spent upon better housing faciltiies, conditions now would not be
nearly so deplorable.
Certainly, if
the community now is to make any
progress towards higher standards,
there are few outlets for the sane and
sensible use of our resources which
would pay finer dividends than the
improvement and development of
adequate living cacommodation.

DADDY REFORMS
Little Hiroshi, third generation youngster,
is a very precocious lad.
He was having a philosophical discussion
with his mother one day.
"Did the stork bring me. Mommy?" he
asked.
"Yes, dear.” answered his mother.
"And did Santy Claus bring me my toys
at Christmas?”
"Yes. son.”
"And does God give us our daily bread?”
"Yes, dear.”
"Well, then.” asked Hiroshi, "what’s
Daddy hanging around for?”
Little Hiroshi’s daddy stays home nights
more often these days.
Government and Press
qpHERE are few Canadians who will
not look with regret upon the spec
tacle in Ottawa, where the National
Government finds itself involved in
an imbroglio with a section \ of the
Canadian press.
The picture of charge and counter
charge cannot but contribute to a
lessening of confidence in the govern
ment, as Prime Minister King trench
antly warned the House, and thus to
an undermining of national morale.
And the over-powering importance of
national morale as a redoubtable
weapon of modern war has never
been more vividly demonstrated than
in this greatest conflict in history.
We may, with just cause, condemn
unsparingly the totalitarian war ma
chine. But we cannot toss contemp
tuously aside the basic fact that these
totalitarian nations, essentially “havenot” countries, have wrought that
machine from the breath and fire of
a people devoted to a point of fanati
cism to their leaders and their cause.
We, in a democracy, must match na
tional morale with national morale.
We must match reason, intelligence,
and enlightened
sincerity against
blind devotion.

The Housing Problem
READER of The New Canadian
has written in regard to a question
which . obviously grows increasingly
important in the Japanese community.
He is concerned, and very rightly,
with the evident fact of the shortage
of housing facilities, adequate for
healthful and decent living pur
poses within the boundaries of the
Japanese community. And he of
fers convincing figures to show that
no steps are. being taken, or are
likely to be taken by individuals, to
meet this situation.
'
The war boom in Canada has, of
course, thrown the housing problem
in Canada into very sharp relief; and
estimates have been made that some
50,000 workers are locating near war
industrial
sites
without
adequate
homes. Bu tactually, this question of
substandard housing conditions in the
Japanese community is one that has
long been familiar to us.
In a recent survey in Seatlte, it was
found that some seventy per cent of
the Japanese American residents in
the city lived in homes classed as sub
standard. It is entirely likely that in
the areas bordering upon False Creek
and in the Powell Street area of Van
couver a very similar situation exists.
And the housing shortage is a recog
nized and disturbing factor in many
of the industrial centres wherein large
numbers of Japanese Canadians are
employed.
The shortage, too, of low-rental,
modernized housing units, located
conveniently to places of employ
ment. in the Japanese community,
undoubtedly is one of the more im
portant factors which cause mature
young men to think seriously before
seeking matrimonial bliss, and thus
has tis repercussions in undesirable
social conditions.
Whether a co-operative scheme such
as has been suggested by our reader
is a practical solution is a very moot
point. But one thing is certain. If
all the funds, which in the past have
flown unnecessarily to Japan in the
form of immigrant remittances, had
been spent upon better housing faciltiies, conditions now would not be
nearly so deplorable.
Certainly, if
the community now is to make any
progress towards higher standards,
there are few outlets for the sane and
sensible use of our resources which
would pay finer dividends than the
improvement and development of
adequate living cacommodation.

Government and Press
qpHERE are few Canadians who will
not look with regret upon the spec
tacle in Ottawa, where the National
Government finds itself involved in
an imbroglio with a section \ of the
Canadian press.
The picture of charge and counter
charge cannot but contribute to a
lessening of confidence in the govern
ment, as Prime Minister King trench
antly warned the House, and thus to
an undermining of national morale.
And the over-powering importance of
national morale as a redoubtable
weapon of modern war has never
been more vividly demonstrated than
in this greatest conflict in history.
We may, with just cause, condemn
unsparingly the totalitarian war ma
chine. But we cannot toss contemp
tuously aside the basic fact that these
totalitarian nations, essentially “havenot” countries, have wrought that
machine from the breath and fire of
a people devoted to a point of fanati
cism to their leaders and their cause.
We, in a democracy, must match na
tional morale with national morale.
We must match reason, intelligence,
and enlightened
sincerity against
blind devotion.

3 '
About two years ago the City of Vancouver, because of the same
i.- ' of agitation, which has been going on for quite a number of years,
'T particularly since the war with China began, asked the 'provincial
i^-iature to enact amendments to the city's charter to allow the city
h discriminate against Orientals in the matter of trade licences. When
Yse proposals came before the municipal committee, Mr. Perry, the
Uncial member for Prince George, told the Vancouver city delegation
^jf they would substitute "Jew" for"Japanese" or/'Oriental," there
ould be no difference between what they were asking for and what the
\iris had already done in Germany and were doing in the various coun'triesover which she had got control. "
There is one thing of which we lose sight. The Japanese and
other Orientals are here. They are in British Columbia and it is
impossible to deport them.
They are no longer Japanese or for
eigners; they are Canadians, and we cannot ship them off some
where else; whether we like it or not, they are here. The obvious
thing to do, in my opinion, is to seek ways to make loyal Canadians
of them.
The honorable member for Comox-Alberni says, "Once a Japanese
always a Japanese." My friend and I are of Scottish descent, and I may
say with equal truth, "Once a Scotsman always a Scotsman." The Jap
anese are no different from ourselves in their reaction to life and to the
things around them.
Inspire Loyalty by Fairness
If we are to have harmonious and friendly relations between the
Oriental population and the rest of our British Columbia citizens, we
must stop discriminating against and abusing Orientals. We must find
some common ground on which we can work, and I think it can be
found. Is there any reason, if we should get into difficulties with Japan
on the Pacific Coast, why the Japanese in British Columbia should be
interested in helping Canada after the way in which we are treating
them? I am satisfied that if we treat the Japanese and our other Oriental
citizens aright, we shall get their loyalty, because they are no longer
Orientals in the accepted sense of that term. They would feel as much
cut of place in Japan as we would. I know them, speak to them; I visit
them and have them in my home , and I have not the slightest doubt
that what 1 say is correct.
If we are to avoid the troubles that other countries have .had with
racial minorities, then we must take a realistic view of the situation in
British Columbia and attempt to make these people feel at home among
us. We will secure their loyalty by fairness and kindness and by the
practice of those other attributes which we exercise in our relations with
other people. Otherwise we shall have trouble. I appreciate most sin
cerely what the Prime Minister said on the occasion to which reference
was made.
Question of Social Justice
I do not wish to prolong this discussion. The last part of it is
a sad commentary on itself (referring to Mr. Neill). I am wondering
what we are fighting for in Europe today. The honorable member for
Fraser Valley and the honorable member for Comox-Alberni stated that
the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation lost votes in British Columbia
because of the position we took with regard to Orientals. I never asked
anyone to vote for me because of my racial prejudices. I would not
appeal to anyone for his franchise on his racial prejudices. I have not the
least doubt that before Hitler got his people into the reichstag, many
of them got there by demonstrating their hatred of the Jews on the
public platform. Our friends from British Columbia are doing that today.
I hey say we are losing and have lost ground. As a matter of fact,
a* the last federal elections in British Columbia we polled more votes
than we ever did before. Let me tell my honorable friends this, that
S|tsr I brought the Oriental situation before this House in the session
°f 1936, there was not much said about the Oriental question in the last
election and there will not be in the future. This is not a political issue
st the present time. It is first of all a question of social justice, and
w the second place a question of dealing in a statesmanlike way with
a problem which we cannot shift from ourselves to somebody else.

1 was too much of a tomboy. I could never be content just to

I was too young for spiritual things then, 1 wanted something to

How was I to know what I know now—that the beautiful figurines
are sacred—sacred because they embody the Japanese love and respect for
their long and glorious past; that these dolls from the Emperor and his
Empress to the lowest character on the seven tiers were symbolic of the
Flowcry Kingdom, a closely-knitted family system, interwoven of respect,
womanly ideals and love. How was 1 to know that these little dolls,
calmly poised on their little lacquer stands—were placed there to instil

In my opinion, the attitude which a few---- a very few—people
British Columbia have adopted toward Orientals is a disgrace to
” nada I have said that this attitude is that of only a very few;
' maybe31 am wrong, but if many hold it, I have not met them.
3 '
About two years ago the City of Vancouver, because of the same
i.- ' of agitation, which has been going on for quite a number of years,
'T particularly since the war with China began, asked the 'provincial
i^-iature to enact amendments to the city's charter to allow the city
h discriminate against Orientals in the matter of trade licences. When
Yse proposals came before the municipal committee, Mr. Perry, the
Uncial member for Prince George, told the Vancouver city delegation
^jf they would substitute "Jew" for"Japanese" or/'Oriental," there
ould be no difference between what they were asking for and what the
\iris had already done in Germany and were doing in the various coun'triesover which she had got control. "
There is one thing of which we lose sight. The Japanese and
other Orientals are here. They are in British Columbia and it is
impossible to deport them.
They are no longer Japanese or for
eigners; they are Canadians, and we cannot ship them off some
where else; whether we like it or not, they are here. The obvious
thing to do, in my opinion, is to seek ways to make loyal Canadians
of them.
The honorable member for Comox-Alberni says, "Once a Japanese
always a Japanese." My friend and I are of Scottish descent, and I may
say with equal truth, "Once a Scotsman always a Scotsman." The Jap
anese are no different from ourselves in their reaction to life and to the
things around them.
Inspire Loyalty by Fairness
If we are to have harmonious and friendly relations between the
Oriental population and the rest of our British Columbia citizens, we
must stop discriminating against and abusing Orientals. We must find
some common ground on which we can work, and I think it can be
found. Is there any reason, if we should get into difficulties with Japan
on the Pacific Coast, why the Japanese in British Columbia should be
interested in helping Canada after the way in which we are treating
them? I am satisfied that if we treat the Japanese and our other Oriental
citizens aright, we shall get their loyalty, because they are no longer
Orientals in the accepted sense of that term. They would feel as much
cut of place in Japan as we would. I know them, speak to them; I visit
them and have them in my home , and I have not the slightest doubt
that what 1 say is correct.
If we are to avoid the troubles that other countries have .had with
racial minorities, then we must take a realistic view of the situation in
British Columbia and attempt to make these people feel at home among
us. We will secure their loyalty by fairness and kindness and by the
practice of those other attributes which we exercise in our relations with
other people. Otherwise we shall have trouble. I appreciate most sin
cerely what the Prime Minister said on the occasion to which reference
was made.
Question of Social Justice
I do not wish to prolong this discussion. The last part of it is
a sad commentary on itself (referring to Mr. Neill). I am wondering
what we are fighting for in Europe today. The honorable member for
Fraser Valley and the honorable member for Comox-Alberni stated that
the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation lost votes in British Columbia
because of the position we took with regard to Orientals. I never asked
anyone to vote for me because of my racial prejudices. I would not
appeal to anyone for his franchise on his racial prejudices. I have not the
least doubt that before Hitler got his people into the reichstag, many
of them got there by demonstrating their hatred of the Jews on the
public platform. Our friends from British Columbia are doing that today.
I hey say we are losing and have lost ground. As a matter of fact,
a* the last federal elections in British Columbia we polled more votes
than we ever did before. Let me tell my honorable friends this, that
S|tsr I brought the Oriental situation before this House in the session
°f 1936, there was not much said about the Oriental question in the last
election and there will not be in the future. This is not a political issue
st the present time. It is first of all a question of social justice, and
w the second place a question of dealing in a statesmanlike way with
a problem which we cannot shift from ourselves to somebody else.

I remember my younger days, and with a pang I realize that the
Dolls' Festival was something I missed in my boisterous childhood. It
was not because my parents failed to give me this especial aspect of Japanese
girlhood, nor because they were indifferent to the way 1 managed to jus

Powtll Street.
1 was too much of a tomboy. I could never be content just to
sit and gaze at the beautiful lady-in-waiting or the figure ot Momotaro-San that was given me. 1 could not sit and play hostess to tire
little girls mother invited on that day. Ah, no! I must take my
Momotaro-San and make him fight the green “oni.” and undress
the beautiful lady-in-waiting to see how the little limbs were put
together and made to stand. {I can still feel what I was given tor
my pains!)
I was too young for spiritual things then, 1 wanted something to
hold in my hand and discover to love. And so I turned to my rag doll
and to the sleeping beauty with the fallcn-in-cycs. .
How was I to know what I know now—that the beautiful figurines
are sacred—sacred because they embody the Japanese love and respect for
their long and glorious past; that these dolls from the Emperor and his
Empress to the lowest character on the seven tiers were symbolic of the
Flowcry Kingdom, a closely-knitted family system, interwoven of respect,
womanly ideals and love. How was 1 to know that these little dolls,
calmly poised on their little lacquer stands—were placed there to instil
in a hopeless tomboy, some elements of Japanese womanhood—calmness
and dignity.
