removal of enemy nationals from IS to 45 years from the

A Question Of Justice
TT is not without considerable deliberation that The New
Canadian ventures to raise an issue of some importance to
all Canadians who are interested not only in the defeat of our
enemies but also in the safeguarding of the essential princi­
ples which are embodied in our democracy.
It has to do with those former residents of various Japan­
ese Canadian communities in British Columbia who have been
detained by the government under the Defence of Canada
regulations. An undisclosed number were taken into custody
immediately at the outbreak of the war. For two months they
have been held in custody by the authorities, but the reasons
for their detention have not been disclosed to them nor to any­
one else.
It is not the purpose of this editorial to dispute the heavy
responsibility that lies upon the proper authorities to safe­
guard national security against internal threats, nor to ques­
tion the efficiency of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who
are charged with the enforcement of very necessary regula­
tions. On the contrary, we recognize that internal threats
must be eliminated swiftly and surely, and that the issue
should properly be left in the hands of those whose job it is to
attend to it.
Nevertheless, it remains true that to hold any individual
for an indefinite length of time, without a hearing of some
kind, is a very drastic and far-reaching step. Certainly ,it is
not in accord with basic principles of justice, even in time of
war. Indeed, it may not even be in accord with reason and
common sense.
We feel this is true, because we have been close observers
of the Japanese community, and are intimately acquainted
with the trends of thought and action in the Japanese com­
munity, as well as with a number of those individuals who
have been detained. On the surface at least, some of these
have been well-known as leaders of the most progressive and
loyal movements in the community.
Possibly there are
grounds for suspicion, but we do not hesitate to say that we find
it difficult to imagine what these can be.
We do believe, and we submit this for earnest considera­
tion, that we may look to the American scene for a reasonable
procedure in cases of this nature. Aliens who have been
detained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation have been
granted a prompt hearing before an impartial Enemy Alien
Hearing Board. The hearings are held in secret, witnesses are
called, and the Board determines, not if the defendant is actu­
ally guilty, but if there are reasonable grounds for suspicion.
If such are found, the individual is promptly interned. If not,
he is set free on parole, in the same manner as other aliens.
A similar procedure might well be adopted in the local
situation, for it provides an adequate safeguard against sub­
versive activity, but at the same time helps to reduce to a mini­
mum the injustice that may easily arise from human error.
Certainly a much less reasonable course is followed in the
Axis countries. But if we do believe that our way of life is
immeasurably superior to theirs, it is scarcely conceivable
that we should turn so far from it in this issue as to adopt the
same sort of thing that has made the word Nazi a symbol of
injustice and cruelty in the eyes of all decent men.

. . . this applies to even the cream of

telling me that cattiness was one
fault that gals had a monoply on . . .
and the extreme example, of cattiness
is when two femmes who not exact­

ing the dirtiest cracks at each other
under a veil of honeyed words and
accompanied with the most amiable
smirks on their beautiful pans . . .
and if you ever were the poor male

really appreciate the meaning of the
phrase "defenseless male” . . . and
when you get down to it I guess
there’s no such thing as a ‘‘defense­

Editor, The New Canadian.—Dear Sir: The otherwas talking to the milkman who has been delivering
around our district for many years. He’s a very niceL 1
and knows most of the Japanese families around here")^
well. So he thinks himself that we are all right andy^
going to commit any sabotage. One thing he mentioned ^
ever, that made him wonder. He said he had the feelitfe
even if he were born in Japan, he would still be Briti.|r
not Japanese. So he wondered about us who have been^
here in Canada or are born here, claiming that we are^
Canadian and not Japanese.
^
It’s the same argument that we read so many time^Lj
letters to the editor, and on the face of it it is very plausr^
that it throws doubt on what we say. I know some other 9y
have asked me about this same thing, so this is how I tr^”!
explain it to him.
There is a very great difference between Occidental J
pie who go to Japan to live and the Japanese people whojj
to Canada as immigrants.
The chief thing is that the British and Americans ink
are not immigrants. They go mostly as business men t ,4
senting some concern, so of course they don’t plan to^j
there all their lives and they don’t want to become Jac?-;
If they have children, they try to keep them as British a?$y
sible, by teaching them at home, or sending them to an B|j
school only, and not to Japanese school. They haveX
colonies, where their children can play with children of 1^
race. When the children grow up, they are usually sent^
home to go to school.
P|
Naturally, under such circumstances, a CanadiE^
American would not become Japanese. In just the same|^
the British who formed the colony in Hong Kong, or in S^
pore now, don’t become Chinese or Malayan, although^
races are in the majority. They preserve the British trac^
and environment, even for their children. Of course |J
remain British, loyal to Great Britain.
^
But suppose an Occidental family settled in Japan ^

everything in their way of life is Japanese. I feel sure| J
children, and. even the parents, if they stay for years JJ
become loyal to Japan and would not try to commit any|
of sabotage.
fl
I think that this would be true, even if those who say^
would remain foreign, and therefore accuse, the Nisei of I ^
foreign in spite of everything.
