Public Opinion on “Repatriation55
Not even the most optimistic Nisei, envisioning a
secure and happy future for himself and his children in
the country of his birth, will deny for a moment the ex
istence of strong racial prejudice, heightened and inten
sified by inevitable wartime hates and fears.
In the face of this, the results of a recent Gallup Poll
among Canadians on the question of ‘‘repatriating” Jap
anese Canadians after the war, come as a distinct sur
prise and encouragement. A hasty impression gathered
from the unending outbursts directed against people of
Japanese origin in Canada might well be that an over
whelming majority of Canadians in this instance have
allowed their prejudices to swamp entirely all their dem
ocratic beliefs.
Actually, however, the Poll indicates that on a na
tional basis, only 54 per cent of Canadians favor post
war "repatriation.” As against this slim majority, 7 per
cent- are not sure, but 39 per cent are clearly on record
as being opposed to a measure which current prejudice
has easily made very popular, liven in British Columbia
which according to popular agitation is wholly united in
favor of excluding people of Japanese origin, only be
tween six and seven out of every ten. the Poll records,
support “repatriation.”
Even these results, it should be noted, were recorded
from a question which was obviously phrased for ready
comprehension rather than’ a. strictly scientific purpose.
Had it been suggested, for instance, that the question at
issue was not “Japanese repatriation” but actually the
compulsory exile of Canadian-born and naturalized Citi
zens. it is very probably that in many cases very different
reactions would have been encountered.
Jill in all. the poll is a rather significant tribute to
the strength of democratic traditions among the Cana
dian people at large. Undoubtedly, many of those polled
have formed their concepts of Japanese individuals only
from highlv colored cartoons, news reels, and news reports. Actually, experience has demonstrated very clear
ly during the past two years that as an ever-growing
number come into personal contact with us, a warmer
tolerance, if not an active goodwill, gradually replaces
many false prejudices. Hundreds of Nisei all across the
country will readily attest to that fact. And they are
staking a whole future upon it.

Last night for the first time, we
met the- man living down at the
end of the hall. He was drunk. No,
perhaps not drunk, but he had
some -liquor in him. He could not
be called sober. But it was to be
excused since last night was

of liquor in him on Christmas Eve ?
He tapped quite gently on the
door. We opened and he asked
politely, Can I come in ?
Of course, we said. Come in. Sit
down. He came in but did not sit
down. He carried gingerly a bottle
of clear gin in his left hand. He
was dressed merely in his shirt and
had that look of sober earnestness
carried by many men under the in
fluence of alcohol. He began:
Are you Chinks ?
No, we answered, we’re Cana
dians.
I don’t mean that, he said. But I
don’t care what you are. As your
neighbour I’m here to wish-shu a
Merry Christmas . ..
Same to you ...
I don’t care what you are—I
wish you a Merry Christmas. Say,
are you chinks ?
We’re Japanese Canadians.
I don’t care what you are, he
said again. I’m here to wish you
a Merry Christmas. My belief,
he continued in deep earnestness,
is that all men are equal. Why
not ? he asked peering into our
face, teetering all the while. Why
not? If God made Japs and Chinks
he. must have made them for a
purpose to do some good. Why
shouldn’t all men be equal ? I don’t
care what you are. I wish-shu a
Merry Christmas. Bring out the
glasses and have a drink on me.
.We declined, giving our youth as
an excuse. He handed out cigar
ettes and departed to carry his
felicitations to the people down
stairs.
He wished us a Merry Christ
mas. He didn’t care what we were.
He might have been under the in
fluence of liquor but his talk made
good sense to us. In fact men
sober could not have talked, with
more logic and with MORE of the'
true spirit of Christmas. He wished
us a Merry Christmas.
The week of Christmas 1943.
We join the shopping throng on
King Street in Hamilton. Many
uniformed men are about on leave
for Christmas. Men and -women
laden with parcels trot in breath
less circles from one store to an
other. The store windows are filled
with green and red—the colours of
Christmas.
Here’s a blind violinist standing
outside the five-and-ten. We won
der what he hears. Does he hear
the tramp of many feet, the chat
ter of many voices/the hooting of
many cars and the clanging of
of many, street cars? He stands
there staring straight ahead. His
eyes are covered with dark glasses.
From his belt sticks a cup and
around the cup there is a white
piece of paper* with the words “A
Merry Christmas.” His violin rests
under his chin, his bow is in his
right hand. He is at attention.
Soon he begins. It is “White
Christmas”.
Not many pause to drop a coin
in his cup. The crowd is too busy
with their last minute shopping
and what to get for Annie and
Jimmie. The instrument cannot be
heard very clearly in the din of the
traffic. "I’m dreaming of a White

We enter one of the departmentstores. Many-sized women stand
feeding on the counters, fingering
this and looking at that. The clerks
look bored. Most of them have
their coats on to keep warm. They
still have many hours to go.
From the music counter we hear
the strain of an organ pealing a
Christmas carol. It is “'Hark the
Herald Angels Sing”. Ho-w lovely
it sounds. It finds its way into
every nook and corner of the store
by mysterious means. Now it is
“Peace on Earth, Good-will to
Men .. .” A middle-aged woman,
very hawkish in appearance is
having an argument with one of
the sales girls. The sales girl calls
to the woman in charge of the
department. The crowd advances
to listen. They block up the aisles.
Over their heads float the strains
of “Peace on earth . ..”. Perhaps

We enter one of the departmentstores. Many-sized women stand
feeding on the counters, fingering
this and looking at that. The clerks
look bored. Most of them have
their coats on to keep warm. They
still have many hours to go.
From the music counter we hear
the strain of an organ pealing a
Christmas carol. It is “'Hark the
Herald Angels Sing”. Ho-w lovely
it sounds. It finds its way into
every nook and corner of the store
by mysterious means. Now it is
“Peace on Earth, Good-will to
Men .. .” A middle-aged woman,
very hawkish in appearance is
having an argument with one of
the sales girls. The sales girl calls
to the woman in charge of the
department. The crowd advances
to listen. They block up the aisles.
Over their heads float the strains
of “Peace on earth . ..”. Perhaps
this is Peace.

Canadian “TIME” Reflects
Interest in Probe
Current investigation of British
Columbia Interior Housing Projects
by a Dominion Royal Commission
rates a featured spot in the new
Canadian news section of “Time”
magazine.
Prestige of the magazine has
gone up considerably in the centres
folio-wing the report, which was
found to be considerably more ac
curate than a number of accounts
appearing in British Columbia
daily newspapers.
Reported “Time”: “While racial
anger boiled up against the Japa
nese in the neighbouring Pacific
states, Canada set out last week to
see that British Columbia’s remain
ing 16,000 Japanese got fair play.
The protest that started the inves
tigation came from the Japs them
selves. They had complained that
the Dominion’s treatment had been
niggardly ....”

One of the members of our formei’ Junior • Church in Vancouver,
not long after her marriage Iasi
year, evacuated, with her husband
to an Ontario City; and in the
soring of this year, wrote me a
long letter, describing in detail
their experiences, a portion of
which I shall take the liberty of
quoting here:
“On January 15th, we arrived
here in G—. At first we felt rather
lost, being the only Nisei here. The
people look at us very curiously,
wondering whether we are Chinese.
Our great worry was to find a
room to stay. M—(her husband)
had put an ad in the paper, and
was going along to the newspaper
office, when he met a very friendly
minister. After a conversation, M—
found that he was looking us up,
having heard
about
us from
Rev. O—.
“On Saturday afternoon, we
went ‘room-hunting’, but were un
successful. M-_ was getting very
worried and discouraged. But that
night I thought of a sermon of
yours. Tt is a sin to worry’. I said
to M—, ‘Let’s go to Church to
morrow morning. That will make
us feel better.’ So we did, and were
invited out to lunch at Rev. F—’s
home. After Church, he asked var
ious
members
of his
Church
whether they knew of a place
where we could stay, and imme
diately he found us this place,
where we are staying now. My, we
never were so thankful. We felt
sure that God has been with us
all along.. He guided us here. Rev.
and Mrs. F— have been just grand
to us, and Mrs. B—, whom we are
staying with, is a very fine woman,
a true Christian in every way.” •
When I saw this couple in Sept

THE CHURCH AND RE-SETTLEMENT
them, were blessed in many ways.
The United Church of Canada
(and I am certain that other
Churches did the same) from the
beginning of the Japanese evac
uation from the Coast, followed a
policy, formulated and passed by
the Executive of the General Coun
cil, a part of which stated that:
“The Church believes that it
is its duty in these days, of ter
rible upheaval for our Japanese
■ congregations to follow them
with its ministry and to assure
them of sympathy; that the
United Church should, by rend
ering this service, assure our
Japanese fellow-Christians that
a great Canadian Church, whil
realizing that our Government
must protect us so far as is pos
sible from insidious attacks,
wishes to withdraw itself from
v.emus and unchristian attitudes,
and to hold fast trial in Christ
there is no distinction of race
and color.... And we appeal to
. the whole Church to help find
positions in homes and on farms
for such second generation Japa
nese as may be recommended by
our Church authorities in British
Columbia; subject to such regu
lations as may be laid down by
the Governments concerned.”
In accordance with this policy, the
Church sent a minister and women
missionaries to each of the re
location centres in British Colum
bia, as well as farming centres in
Alberta and Manitoba, serving the
people in every way possible. And
for the relocees who ventured East,
the church has been offering help
to an extent that the relocees
themselves do not fully realize.
First of all, the Churches co-oper
ated in making necessary prepara
tions for the coming of our people
to eastern Canada. In order to re
move groundless fears and suspi
cions in regard to the Japanese
Canadians, and to promote a better
understanding of them by the
Eastern people, a pamphlet “Some
Facts Concerning the Canadian
Japanese” was prepared, signed by

the representatives of the Angli
can, Baptist, Presbyterian. Roman
Catholic and United Churches of
Canada. It was widely circulated,
and its content was broadcast
through the pulpits, radios and
affiliated organizations, such as
the WMS and YPU. Many other
pamphlets have since appeared,
and with the articles appearing in
Church papers, Sunday School per
iodicals and Missionary magazines,
the good work of promoting' a
better understanding of these peo
ple is being carried on.
EMPLOYMENT ROAD PAVED
The next thing that the Church
did for our relocees was to pave
the way for their employment.
When the general employers were
hesitant, ministers, WMS officers,
Christian Colleges and hospitals
took the lead in giving them em
ployments; and demonstrated to
the public that the. Japanese Cana
dians were industrious, law-abid
ing, good citizens. Thus proved of
their true worth, our friends found
the field of their employment ever
widening.
Then the Church offered its
many-sided services freely and
generously for the benefit of our
relocees, greatly assisting in the
process of their re-settlement. The
Church, through its various organ
izations ahd individual members,
helped them solve their housing
problem—which seemed to have
been the most difficult one every
where, in working out conciliation
in their unsatisfactory relationship
with their employers, or in bring
ing comfort Into their distressing
situations caused by sickness or
bereavements. Several times dur
ing my trip, I heard my friends re
late to me their experiences of this
kind
with
deep
emotion
and
gratitude.
CHURCH OFFERS
FRIENDLINESS
But the grcates'- contribution of
the Church was its offer of gen
uine friendliness. The transforming
fellowship around the dynamic
Idea of Brotherhood ' is the true
genius of the Christian Church. Our
relocees, lonely and more or less
lost in strange places, found in the
Church a warm family atmosphere
they craved. There they had their
social, recreational anti intellectual
needs satisfied, as well as their
deeper spiritual yearnings.
A friend in Winnipeg related his
experiences thus: “Returned mis
sionaries work among us with sym
pathy and understanding.
Our
family go to Knox Church. After
a week of hard work, it is a great
joy for us to spend the Sabbath
day in the Church. Both the minis
ter and the members are very
friendly to us. The other Sunday,
after the evening service, they
gave us a social, to winch twelve
of us went, and had a very plea
sant time. They certainly do every
thing in their power to make us
feel at home.”
In order to see as many relocees
as possible in the short time I had
at my disposal, I had asked my
friends in different, places 1 visited
to have them come to meetings
where I could see them together.
During my trip, I was given the
privilege of attending, and of ad
dressing in mos^ cases, twentyeight such gatherings, meeting
more than eight hundred people.
Most of these meetings were held
in the Church, with ministers,
young people’s workers, women
missionaries and other interested
Occidentals present. At London, for
instance, the meeting was held in
Metropolitan United Church, when
about fifty people were present in
cluding five ministers. Before the
meeting', a social of games and
dances was thoroughly enjoyed
with
Occidental
young
people
mixed. In Hamilton, it was held in
Centenary Church; in Beamsville,
Trinity Church; and in Montreal,
Toronto and Edmonton, the Church
of All Nations.
Our relocees have so far been
passive recipients of the goodwill
of the Church, but are now grad
ually becoming active members of
the Church. They are trying to
scatter themselves in many differ
ent Churches, instead of all going
to the same one. When I visited
them, I found not very many of
them had as yet definitely joined
the Church, but have since been
hearing that many are doing so of
late. One of our talented Nisei girls,
an A.T.C.M. both :n piano and
singing, I found was engaged in
one of the largest. Churches in
Toronto as a soloist. A g'irl was
asked to be a pianist in a Sunday
School of a Montreal Church, and
she gave such a good account of
herself, that she was later re
quested to head a department in
the School. I found many of our
young people teaching Sunday
Schools and leading boys’ and
girls’ groups.
MUST CONTACT
N ON - CH R I STI A N S
The Church is no respecter of
persons. It is always ready to
serve
and
welcome
anybody,
Christian or non-Christian alike.
But those who»have not been used
to going to the Church find it not
very easy to come under its in
fluence, due to some prejudice (I
speak from my own. experience,
because I did have a strong feeling
against Christianity before I came
in), a feeling of strangeness, or
some diffidence. The immediate
problem for the Church is how* to
get in contact with these nonChristian relocees, whose number
is growing every day.
The Church, has always been
criticized for its defects. That the
Church as it is is not perfect, the
Christians are the first to admit.
But in spite of all its faults and
shortcomings, where can we find
an organization which is doing
more for the promotion of love,
truth and justice among the whole
mankind as the Christian Church?
Even in war-time, it has not sur
rendered its true mission, as it
almost did during the First World
War. It has maintained—-although
not always undisturbed, the world
wide fellowship of prayer, suffer
ing and service. It often costs
dearly. Even in this country, the
Church often loses the support of
rich members because it chooses to
stand firmly on its principle. The
Church has not forgotten its Cross.
It is the- only hope for the post
war’ world.

not long after her marriage Iasi
year, evacuated, with her husband
to an Ontario City; and in the
soring of this year, wrote me a
long letter, describing in detail
their experiences, a portion of
which I shall take the liberty of
quoting here:
“On January 15th, we arrived
here in G—. At first we felt rather
lost, being the only Nisei here. The
people look at us very curiously,
wondering whether we are Chinese.
Our great worry was to find a
room to stay. M—(her husband)
had put an ad in the paper, and
was going along to the newspaper
office, when he met a very friendly
minister. After a conversation, M—
found that he was looking us up,
having heard
about
us from
Rev. O—.
“On Saturday afternoon, we
went ‘room-hunting’, but were un
successful. M-_ was getting very
worried and discouraged. But that
night I thought of a sermon of
yours. Tt is a sin to worry’. I said
to M—, ‘Let’s go to Church to
morrow morning. That will make
us feel better.’ So we did, and were
invited out to lunch at Rev. F—’s
home. After Church, he asked var
ious
members
of his
Church
whether they knew of a place
where we could stay, and imme
diately he found us this place,
where we are staying now. My, we
never were so thankful. We felt
sure that God has been with us
all along.. He guided us here. Rev.
and Mrs. F— have been just grand
to us, and Mrs. B—, whom we are
staying with, is a very fine woman,
a true Christian in every way.” •
When I saw this couple in Sept
ember, they were quite happy and
■settled. Both of them had joined
the Church of which Rev. F— is
the minister, the young man, who
^vas not a Christian before evac
uation, having received baptism at
Easter. They are well received in
the Church and are feeling quite
at home.
