Evacuation of the Japanese community from the coast
“protected area” will be carried out by the B. C. Security
Commission under the following definite plans to date:
(1) Placement of over 3000 Canadian-born and naturali
zed citizens in pulp mills, forest camps and war industries
in Ontario.
The men will go to a clearing station at Schrieber, On
tario, to be built by themselves. From this clearing station
they will be dispatched to different centres wherever there
is a shortage of workers. They will be paid the prevailing
rate of wages rainging from 25c per hour upward.
Many wild and foolish rumours have been circulating
about the movement to Ontario, such as that Niseis going there
would be placed on oil tankers. These are dastardly rumors,
which should be stopped.
|
(2) Settlement of 5500 to 7500 women and children in;
“ghost towns” in south-eastern B. C.
;
Appropriations for funds to put vacant houses into shape!
is being submitted to Ottawa. Families in these “ghost towns”;
will be the charge of the federal government, and at the same;
time husbands and fathers will assign a portion of their wages!
to them.
j
Committees of Japanese Canadians will be asked toi
supervise and direct these newly-formed committees.
