“ Economic Penetration ? ”
As the tide of battle on .the Pacific fronts continues
strongly in favour of the United Nations, a new tune is
evident in current discussions about Japanese Canadians.
The fact of loyal citizenship and the unblemished record of
our people have stood up so strongly against the .calumnies
and falsehoods shouted from Pacific Coast rooftops and
noised about throughout the country, that it is no longer
possible for anti-Japanese interests to play with great suc­
cess upon the fear’s of the Canadian people brought to a
saner outlook by the improved position in the Pacific
theatre.

Instead the emphasis is returning once again to the
pre-war arguments of economic competition and social assi­
milation. And those strongly entrenched interests, sound­
ing off an insistent beat against the return of evacuees to
their former homes, are spreading a new wave of distorted
propaganda which is having unfortunate effects upon Cana
da east of the Rockies.
Thus we hear again the insistent cry that the small
minority of Japanese Canadian workers, (in 1931 the Provinial Bureau of Statistics number all over ten years of age
gainfully employed at only 7,850), had bored into industry
after industry, occupation after occupation, so intensively
that they were on their way toward an apparent economic
domination of the province. We hear again the falsehoods
that this “economic penetration” was subsidized by the Japa
nese government; that it was made possible by our willing­
ness to exist upon a bowl of rice a day. And we hear again
the nonsense that anywhere in Canada “we would remain an
alien isolated element,” not “susceptible to a process of
assimilation” into the Canadian social framework.
If the propaganda were restricted only to the Pacific
Coast, we might disregard it entirely, knowing that the wil­
ful prejudice that inspires it is both blind and deaf to the
truth. But it is being broadcast eastward, is inevitably re­
peated in the press, and is making impressions in Alberta,
Manitoba and Ontario. And these impressions cannot help
but impede the program of .resettlement, thus lending stren­
gth to the fascist urged proposal of wholesale deportation.
Thus a very great responsibility devolves upon the
shoulders of Nisei Canadians pioneering in eastern front­
iers. Not only must they continue to sustain an established
record lor industry and good citizenship. But they must
also take upon themselves to battle the falsehood and dis­
tortion which may plant barriers against their future wel
fare. Thus they must be alert to study their own past his­
tory, to marshal the truth, and to make use of every oppor
tunity to present it. Their new neighbours are not yet so
intent upon grinding personal axes, that they will refuse to
listen to the obvious and simple facts of history.

C. C. F. AND THE JAPANESE QUESTION
(An Editorial From Vancouver Province)
It is suggested that our muni­
cipal election next week will be
watched with close interest every­
where in Canada, “as a sort of
glorified Gallup poll on the Japa­
nese question.”

This is mischievous and danger­
ous business. The suggestion that
we are fighting a civic election in
Vancouver on the question of what
we are going to do with our Orien­
tal population after- the war is
wholly gratuitous and unjustified.
It is not true, to begin with, and
it would be greatly deplorable if it
were true.

Linking- up the Japanese question
with civic issues is nothing more
than smart politics inspired by the
fact that the C. C. F. candidates
for municipal office are bound by
their party policy which favors
full rights of citizenship to the
Japanese.
There ought to be honest think­
ing and straight speaking here. It
remains just as wrong to trail
political red herrings across the
municipal election for the pleasure
* .of dishing the C. C. F. as for any

other irrelevant purpose.
The thing that matters is that
the Oriental question is irrelevant
to the election of aiderman, School
trustees and park commissioners.
That is not less true even if the
C. C. F. itself insists upon injecting
irrelevant politics into our munici­
pal concerns.

No doubt the pretension of the
C. C. f. to give us Socialism in a
hurry (and apparently to make us
say we like it), is felt by many
people to be an intolerable pro­
vocation. That provides no excuse
for doing ill in order that possible
good may come of it. It is poor
business altogether,' in principle
and in tactics, too, to suggest that
our municipal election is being
fought on the Japanese question.
It is always stupid politics to
elect men to office upon the basis
01 their opinions about something
outside the concerns of that office.
What we do about the Japanese
after the v»r will have to be set­
tled by the Parliament of Canada,
and probably only then in relation
to the general pattern, of the peace.

South of the Border
(The following story was given
to rhe Manzanar -Free Press by the
Office of War Information con­
cerning American Nisei soldiers in
Alabama.)
“A friend of mine was sitting
in a lestaurant near a trainingcamp in Alabama. Since he came
from China, his companion called
his attention to some men in uni­
form, asked whether he thought
they were Chinese or Japanese.
An officer sitting near them
overheard the conversation and
came to their fable. He said:
‘Those soldiers are not Japanese,
and they are not Japanese-Americans either. They are American
soldiers and let me tell you they
are the best damned soldiers I
ever commanded.”
