This news report is important to those directly con
cerned. as an important public health project. Even more,
it is important in another sense to every one of us who call
ourselves Canadians in spite of our Japanese descent.
It is significant as the living, breathing force of democ
racy in action.
The war has produced many reactions to shake our
faith in that democracy. There have been innumerable in
stances of flagrant, local abuse of government regulations
that we accepted in good faith as just and reasonable in
principle. There has been a strong feeling of popular unrest,
stirred and intensified by deliberate agitation. There has
been an unexplainable hysteria from citizens, whom we
felt by virtue of their position, would be possessed of a
greater good sense. Hardest of all, there has been unrea
sonable and unjust action from those quarters in which we
had heretofore placed a high degree of trust and confidence.
In the face of all that the fact that we have been able
for the most part to go about in our daily lives with a mini
mum of interference offers convincing reason for us to place
continued faith in the abiding sense of goodwill and justice
.of the bulk of the Canadian people. An affirmation of that
’sense of goodwill, moreover, has not been lacking in the
teeth of an opposing storm. ■
Now this positive act of humanitarianism, to be carried
out by agencies of the Provincial government, our govern
ment, comes at an opportune time to restore and bolster our
faith. It will help us to meet future blows steadfastly; it
will encourage us to strive mightily against bitterness.
