^During the past several months, however, the tide of
niistrust and hate against every person of Japanese or­
igin has been subsiding. Ths Government, accordingly,
has been in a more favorable position to seek a return to
its original sound objective of justice together with militarv safety. Its efforts in helping evacuees find their way
of lif e and the closely- related policy of easing unnecessai) icstiictions are the evidences of a basic goodwill
which Japanese Canadians have been encouraged to ob-

Tut their original confidence has been tried to the point
where a failure on the part of the Government to reaffirm
in strong terms its basic responsibility of safeguarding
the rights of Canadian citizenship may be easily misin­
terpreted as a lack of goodwill. If Ottawa can make that
reaffirmation—as Washington has. already done for its
thousands ol .Americans of Japanese ancestry—it may

A Citizen’s Advantages

(An Editorial/Trom the Port Hope Guide. Port Hope. Ont.)
Though we all have a. very natural antipathy to our Japanese enemies,
^e should attempt, however hard that mav be, to distinguish between
Japanese enemies and Canadian born Japanese.
" •
The Port Hope Sanitary has found it a matter of the most imperative
necessity to bring to the firm as general labourers a few of- these' second
and third ’generation Canadians in order to keep the plant in full pro­
duction. At present they are only bringing in six Japanese, and have no
ln?e"Uon of usin" nwre th^ necessary. So the anxiety which rumours
or fifty or seventy-five Japanese have caused will be allayed.
No., doubt we should all prefer that we could avoid this situation
No doubt these Japanese Canadians would like to avoid it also. But
since wd cannot, since it is necessary for the war effort that these men
come into town, let us all try to make the best of it. and show these
men that being a Canadian citizen has very great advantages. We shall
come dangerously near being unpatriotic ii we fail to demonstrate these
advantages to men in a difficult position.
As regard housing, no one need have any fear. Japanese have
always been noted for their personal cleanliness and neat habits, and
it is been noted that these mien are not enemies. They have only been
remov ed from the Pacific coast as a general measure of precaution, not
because there is anything against them. If there were they would not
be allowed outside an internment camp.
- As c^izenp of a Christian democracy let us therefore make the very
difficult situation of these strangers within our gates as happy as pos­
sible, for iheir situation* after all, is going to be a good deal more
uncomfortable than ours.

for them sustains those of our felows who have gone forth into the

reached M Bride at ten and stop­
ped there for twenty minutes. Then
on our way again and at 1.15 a.m.
we reached Sinclair Mills, our des­
tination and home for the coming
months.
The mill is a very large one,
well-equipped and very modern. In
fact some parts of the mill are
much more modern than the big
mills of New Westminster and
Vancouver so much so that even
I with my limited knowledge of
mills could see that. To us all it
was a source of wonder that such
a well-planned and equipped plant
could be found in an isolated wilderness such as this.

are to work. Our work to start with

miles west of Tete Jaune and 65
miles east of Prince George. The
weather is not as cold as we

our manager and we hope to
show him how much industrious
Japanese can do.
