Underside of Europe
The upswing in the war fortunes
of the United nations, though
slackening in its momentum, car­
ried British, American and Russian
forces into new contacts with the
enemy in all major theatres of war,
and the defensive strategy which
has been true for the past three
years seemed finally to have scrap­
ped for the “attack, attack, attack”
so long desired by the people.
That slackening of speed seemed
due first to the desire and intent
that headlong advances should be
avoided so that no spent forces
would have to engage- in decisive
encounters, and second that further

and American and French troops

of conserving materials has. caused
some delay. It is planned to build
a laundry between the hospital

which will blast heat into these

struction of the entire project from
nothing to its present status
through many difficulties since last
June, told this correspondent.

ALBERTA FARMERS
LOGGING IN CROWS
NEST DISTRICT
By Ted T. Aoki

BURMIS, Alta. —The first contingent of beet workers going to
work in the woods under the super­
vision of the Security Commission,
numbering 23 men, mostly single,
recently made the tortuous climb
to Burmis, a lumber camp situated
in the eastern foothills of the Rock­
ies, 12 miles from Crow’s Nest.
This is one of the Commis­
sion’s plans to utilize the labour
power of tht beet farmers, which
will otherwise lie idle until next
spring, when beet-work again
commences.
The next contingent is due to ar­
rive within a few .weeks—a fact
that will add to the merriment of
the bachelors’ camp. It is said that
eventually a hundred Japanese will
be employed by the Burmis Lumber
Co. alone. Double - walled bunk­
houses are taking shape as carpen­
ters saw and hammer the green
lumber in order to accommodate
the expected workers.
Under the able foremanship of
Mr. Kariatsumari, the first group
is catching on to the ropes of Alberta style lumbering. Already the
. 9-man sawmill has been dragged
^^ locations where the men have
felled the trees and is humming,
daily for nine solid hours.

Judge Questions
Legality Of U.S.
Army Restrictions
PORTLAND, Ore. — Legality of
orders by Lieut.-Gen. J. L, DeWitt,
commanding general of the west­
ern defense- command and Fourth
Army, regulating; activity of civil­
ian American citizens has been
questioned by Federal Judge James
A. Fee, according to Associated
Press report.
Specifically. Judge Fee ruled
that the curfew order, applying
to enemy aliens and persons of
Japanese ancestry, and restrict­
ing them io their homes between
8 p.m. and 6 a.m. in designated
military areas was unquestionably void insofar as it applied to
American citizens of Japanese
descent.
Judge Fee held that a military
commander under the constitution
is given no power of legislation.
“It follows, therefore, in this
case, that the regulations issued
by his sole authority, even though
it be established that the territory
on the Pacific coast..... has been in­
vaded or is in imminent danger of
invasion, confer upon the military
commander no power to regulate
the life and conduct of the ordinary
citizen, nor make that a crime
which was not made a crime by an
act of congress.
Judge Fee admitted that in case
of martial law and suspension of
the writ of habeas corpus military
commanders have great powers,
but he held that this condition does
not exist.
He pointed out that “there is no
pernicious doctrine known as ‘par­
tial martial law,’ ” calling it “a
perversion that cannot be justified
by any sound theory of civil, con­
stitutional or military law.”
(In the American situation, the
8 p.m. curfew was ordered by the
commanding general, as contrasted
to the Canadian case, where the
sunset to sunrise restriction was
provided for by order - in - council
from Ottawa.)

Three youngsters, aged 6, 10 and
12, were revived by the fire de­
partment inhalator squad, after
collapsing in the lane behind the
former Kitsilano Japanese lan­
guage school on west first avenue
in Vancouver. They had entered
the dark basement of the vacant
school and encountered gas which
filled the premises.

Native Indian Group Urges
Post-War Deportation
SKEENA CROSSING, B. C. —A
convention of native Indians meet­
ing here last week placed an anti­
Japanese stand on the records.
At their thirteenth annual meet­
ing, the Native Brotherhood of
B. C. adopted a resolution urging
the federal government to exclude
all Japanese from Canada after the
war.
A stronger resolution came from
women delegates of the Native Sis­
terhood, demanding the compulsory
deportation of ’ all Japanese to
Japan.
The convention was held on the
reserve of the host group, the Kitsegucia Indians. Speeches of wel­
-come made by their chiefs' were
unique in that they were inter­
preted into the English language
by a white man, F_ A. Hankin.
The chiefs spoke of their native
traditions, their mythology and the
old education of their people. ,

Nisei Relive Evacuation In U.S.
Office of War Information Film
(Larry Tajiri in the Salt
Lake Pacific Citizen)
This week the U.S. government
was preparing a new documentary
film for the U.S. theatres. The
short film, sponsored by the Office
of War Information, is of vital in­
terest to the U.S, nisei—for it is
their story. In the OWI picture,
“Japanese .Relocation”, west coast
Japanese will relive again the tra­
gedy and heartbreak of evacuation,
as well as visualizing the promise
ahead in permanent individual re­
location.
“Japanese Relocation,” except
for hasty newsreel shots, is the
first film record of the evacuation
of west coast Japanese.
Because it is the official govern­
ment story of evacuation, the OWI
film justifies the mass movement
by picturing the proximity of Jap­
anese Americans to war installations and strategic areas. Many of
us today feel, of course, that other
factors besides strict military
necessity — such as hysteria nurrured by four decades of anti-Ori­
entalism in California, false re­
ports of wholesale sabotage by Ja­
panese residents in Hawaii and the
greed of certain vested interests—
were responsible for mass evacua­
tion.
Fair and Objective
The OWI film, in general, ap­
pears to be a fair and objective
picture of the evacuation and re­
location process. It shows young
Japanese Americans making cam­
ouflage nets for the Army at San­
ta Anita, nursing guayule rubber
plants at Manzanar, organizing

self-government at a relocation
centre. Its narrator is Milton S.
Eisenhower, administrative chief of
OWI. It is no coincidence that Mr.
Eisenhower was the National Di­
rector of the War Relocation Au­
thority before taking the OWI
post. He has shown a deep inter­
est in the problems of loyal Ameri­
cans of Japanese ancestry and once
told a congressional committee of
his belief in the loyalty of these
U S. citizens.
Mr. Eisenhower says in the OWI
film:
“This brief picture is only a pro­
logue to the story that is yet to be
told.........It will be fully told only
when circumstances permit the lo­
yal American citizens once again
to enjoy the freedom we in this
country cherish, and when the dis­
loyal, we hope, have left the coun­
try for good..... ”

OUR APOLOGIES ...
Too Many Bottlenecks
Our apologies go out to all
subscribers and readers that this
issue of “The New Canadian,”
the second to be published in
Kaslo consists only of four pages
rather than eight. This is due to
various production difficulties
and wartime bottlenecks, which,
it is hoped will be ironed out be­
fore the next issue appears on
Saturday, December 12. In the
meantime, we do hope you like
the new dress and appearance
and will co-operate with us by

KASLO, B. C. — A form of or­
ganization which observers believe
may turn out to be a model one
for interior towns has been evolv­
ed in Kaslo, with the formation of
a Central Council, which meets re­
gularly to consider c o m m unit y
questions.
Meetings of the Council are at­
tended by the Supervisor, H. P.
Lougheed, members of the Welfare
Staff, medical health officers, and
the Central Committee.
This last-named committee was
elected by nomination and election
a short time ago, and includes two
women and three men, Saburo Shi­
nobu, Iwao Miyashita, Rev. K. Shi­
mizu, Mrs. Kizuye Tanaka, and
Mrs. Kaoru Abe.' Its contacts with
the residents of the town itself are
maintained, through the “floor managers wno represent, amerent
buildings and floors of the larger
establishments.

tion as it cons'ders may further
or be consistent with such military and economic security,’’ and
that it “clearly recognizes the
seriousness of the labor pro­
blem.”
J. G. Strother, chairman of the
Interior Box Manufacturers’ Asso­
ciation and vice-president of the
Interior Lumbermen’s Association,
said every sawmill from Kamloops
to the border wanted Japanese la­
bor and estimated these mills could
use 600 in the bush all year round.
No Lumber For Boxes
He said there was no lumber be­
tween Salmon Arm and Oliver to
make boxes for next year’s de­
mands and no wood seasoning in
the yards.
He read a letter from Wilfred
Hanbury, chairman of the Timber
Control Board, Vancouver, contend­
ing that the prosperity of the Oka­
nagan is based on lumbering, fruit
and vegetable growing and that if
no lumber is produced growers will
be unable to package their crops.
Will Settle For Good
Chief concern voiced by commit­
tee members, who adopted the re-,
solution 14 to 4, with 12 not voting,
is that once Japanese workers are
allowed in the various districts
they will settle permanently, and
it would be impossible to have
them moved.
Mr. Hanbury’s letter said, “The
Japanese question has ceased to be
one of sentiment or loyalty and has
now become, for the Okanagan, a
very practical question of dollars
and cents—in fact, a question of
survival.” He added that unless Ottawa authorities could be convinced
of the necessity of making Japan­
ese available for logging, it may be
disastrous.
A division in the committee
again appeared in taking the vote.
W. T. Cameron of Vernon declared
he would not ballot as he had no
faith in the committee as now con­
stituted.
A previous breach in the organi­
zation appeared some time ago,
when districts north of and includ­
ing Winfield, Glenmore and Oka­
nagan Centre broke away over the
issue of using Japanese labor in
the apple harvest.

Students Find Work in Eastern Cities
... As you know, with my past
connections with the International
Student Service in Canada, I have
been in close contact with the sitution as it pertains to Japanese Ca­
nadian students. In one issue of
The New Canadian I read that
Queen’s University was prepared
to accept a limited number of Ni­
sei students. Well, the University
did in correspondence to many
“students-to-be” of Queens. To my
knowledge at least six happy and
lucky students travelled to Kings­
ton, some across Canada, some
were already in Ontario. When
they arrived in Kingston, much to
their dismay they found their ac­
ceptances were under reconsidera­
tion and therefore had to wait. Af­
ter the “reconsideration” not one
of the students who were accepted
by letter were permitted to enroll.
As for Toronto University, their
refusal of last April still stands.
Western University followed the
same course. McMaster University
which is, I believe, the only non­
government subsidized institution
in Ontario, was willing to accept
Japanese students, but unfortun­
ately many of their courses were
not what the students had planned
on.

All this closing of doors does not
mean that there is not one attend­
ing- the universities. Students who
were registered last year are at­
tending the various universities
and enjoying .he' s’aiu of fullfledged students.
Since we were not able to at­
tend the universities we were
forced to look for work, although
some travelled to other provinces
and were able to secure admit­
tance. When I first applied for
work I was offered 35c per hour,
which seems to be considered a
handsome wage. Right now we
have to live on it or starve in
this city where the cost of living
is high. One good thing is that
everybody is working, and most
of us at fairly satisfactory jobs.
As for seeking employment there
was one predominant difficulty.
Employers were willing to hire u>,
but would not on account of fear
that other employees might resent
working with an “enemy Jap” and
quit their jobs. Somehow or other,
however, we are fortunate in find­
ing work where Occidental Cana­
dians are friendly.

the men here are making the most
of it. In typical camp fashion, to
counterbalance the lack of the fem­

grub—it can be said to be fair. It
could be better tho’ the cook’s as­
sistant, Tad Saito, formerly of

that food supplies are plenty, ap­

with plans made for one bath­
house to every fifty cabins.
While electric lights have been
installed in the apartments, stores,
and other essential buildings, it ap­
pears likely that for a long time
the average resident will continue
to light his house with the kero­
sene lamps.
Hospital Complete
Great pride is being taken in the
splendid 60-bed hospital which is
now practically complete. Medical
officers here will be able to offer
patients in Tashme all the benefits
of a modern hospital.
The sawmill, which proved inva­
luable in providing necessary lum­
ber for building, is carrying on,
manned by twenty experienced
hands. Crews are busy at wood­
cutting, so that there is no short­
age of good fuel. And residents are
continuing to enjoy the vegetables
grown locally, including even
“otsukemono.”
In five months time this commu­
nity has taken very definite shape,
,and though it differs greatly from
what the evacuees knew last win­
ter, nevertheless an accepted pat­
tern of living is emerging. Vital
statistics have kept pace with con­
struction, so that among the 2,600
citizens of this mountain-sheltered
plateau, 14 miles from the boun­
dary of the coast defense zone,
births and deaths ha^e been regis­
tered. In fact a number of mar­
riages among young people are al­
ready in the air.
