Make Relocation Real
The Royal Commission investigating
housing, maintenance and welfare conditions
m the interior settlements placed a definite
stamp of approval on the dispersal policy. “It
expressed belief,” says the report, “that the
policy of dispersing the Japanese across
Canada in productive, self-supporting em­
ployment singly, in small groups or family
units is in the best interests of Canada and of
the Japanese themselves.” Much of its con­
clusions and recommendations, therefore, are
based on the thought that the policy is work­
able and that it is being effectively carried out.
The thought is correct in part. But there
is probably greater accuracy in the analvsis
contained in a recent Toronto Saturday Night
article, to the effect that present policies are
not very rapidly effecting such distribution of
residents of Japanese stock as is desirable.
That article maintained that the fault does
not lie with the Security Commission, but
rather that under present public policies of
provincial and federal authorities a successful
dispersal program can not be accomplished.
This, it was felt, was due to vociferous
thought unwarranted public hostility, and to
the fact that confidence in the good faith of
the federal authorities has been severely un­
dermined by the events of the past two vears.
What continues to be the obvious neces­
sity, therefore, is simply what these columns
have been hammering at ever since “re-allo­
cation” was first pronounced by the Federal
Government. In brief “placement of man­
power” must become genuine “resettlement of
human beings” if the majority of employable
and acceptable evacuees are once again to
become productive forces in normal society.
There is no question but that the most
capable and courageous evacuees, undaunted
by many difficulties, have already elected to
make a fighting bid. for their future outside
the settlements.
Their interests.

must receive the first consideration. But there
are many others to whom the “eastward trek”
is a far more fearsome journey than it has
been to young, single men or women. Buidened with young children or aging parents,
or both, it is not easy to leave a temporary
peaceful abode for a place of doubtful wel­
come and even more doubtful future.
The need in their behalf is clearly some
further constructive aid—some concrete as­
sistance in resettlement and some assurance
that after the war their racial origin will not
simply mean that they will have to evacuate
once more and search about for a new refuge.

Nisei leaders find their thinking so far
out in front of the masses, that they're no

NEWS IN THE VERNACULAR
(St. Thomas Times-Journal)
A short time\ ago we commented on the fact that
the New Canadian, a weekly published at Kaslo. B. C..
“for Canadians of Japanese origin." published two
pages of news in the Japanese language, and we sug­
gested that this feature might be dangerous and should
he abolished. The New Canadian published an editorial
on our comment, and points out that there is no danger
of anything subversive appearing in its columns, as
the matter in. Japanese is merely a translation of the
news that is published in English, and the English
matter is submitted to the censor before being used.
We are glad to have that assurance, and we may
add that front the appearance of the editorial and news
reports in the paper the publishers are dednueij pro­
Canadian.

THE NE W CANADIAN

March 25. 1944.

The Jackson Report
Although the report of the Jackson
Royal Commission tabled this week in the
House may prove a disappointment to
many residents of the interior settlements,
it will not occasion very great surprise.
Substantially the report bears out the
anticipations mentioned .editorially in these
columns last January that it was “difficult
to foresee any far-reaching change in the in­
terior towns.” This may be attributed to the
nature of conditions as actually studied by
the Royal Commissioners, to the dispersal
program which seems to have been adopted
more or less as official Government policy,
and to the exigencies of wartime interna­
tional relations.

Other than a fairly complete approval
of what has been done by the Government
in the settlements to date, the sug­
gestions are brief.
The Commissioners point to the basic
disadvantages of the town locations, as far
as the establishment of productive indus­
try is concerned. Hence they urge an even
greater emphasis on the placement ot em­
ployable persons in self-supporting em­
ployment. This, they believe, can chiefly be
accomplished by the relocation of evacuee
workers at present on Security Commission
payrolls, even though it might impair ad­
ministrative efficiency in the towns. Wel­
fare departments might also be strength­
ened to give added emphasis to the advan­
tages of relocations.

So far as education is concerned, the
Royal Commission has confirmed the in­
dictment of the British Columbia Govern­
ment in refusing “to take any responsibility
for the education” of' children in the settle­
ments. It implies an approval of what has
been done under the circumstances, but
adds a significantly-worded recommenda­
tion that negotiations be re-opened with the
provincial department of education in an
effort to have it “reassume its obligations.”

On the central point of wages and
maintenance, the Commission apparently
placed a much higher value on the “perquisites such as shelter, fuel, light and med­
ical care” supplied by the Security Com­
mission1 than the actual recipients have
done. At the same time it recommended an
increased wage scale where practicable,
which might, be counteracted by higher de­
ductions for services provided by the Secur­
ity Commission.

The one substantial recommendation,
for which there is an unquestioned basic
need, was to urge a slight increase in food
maintenance rates for aged, infirm and un­
employable persons. This increase, however,
is not to be more than 10 per cent, and is
to be granted at the discretion of the Wel­
fare Department. The limited concession
made in this respect suggests that repre­
sentations placed before the Commission by
the various camp committees were not near
Iv as scientifically sound and convincing as
thev might verv well’ have been.

OTHER EDITORS SAY............
(Raymond Recorder)

We have a large population of Japanese, and cen­
tral European children in our schools, in our religious
gatherings, and in every place where people meet.
What is our attitude toward them, and more important,
what kind of an attitude toward these people are we
engendering in our children ? We have heard of child­
ren of these families attending our primaries and
Sunday schools, and being told by our children that they
are not wanted, there. How do you feel about this situ­
ation ? Personally we feel like hanging our heads in
shame every time we hear such things. We profess
to be Christians, and to have the light of truth, and
yet. in our homes we make unsavory remarks in the
hearing of our children, we make rash and foolish
statements, and the little pitchers with big ears pick
these up and pass them on. We must admit that seven
and eight year old children are merely passing on what
they hear grownups say. Watch your words, and better
still watch your tongue.

Note from Montreal

Many Silent Friends

Editor, The New Canadian . . .
Thank you for the “New Cana­
dian” notice of my sudden with
drawal from activities in Novem­
ber. On November 21, I under­
went a successsful operation at
Montreal’ General Hospital, and
during the time of convalescence,
both at hospital and at home, was
delighted with the number of Nisei
and Issei visitors I had. With
their help and that of other Mon­
treal friends, I was kept well sup­
plied with fruit, flowers, and
books; and the most complete sur­
prise was a gift of beautiful white
chrysanthemums from the Slocan
Anglican Church.
On account of my enforced ab­
sence, I have not yet met a num­
ber of the new arrivals since Nov­
ember, but am hoping gradually to
catch up with all the duties still
undone. Owing to the fact that our
winter this year was much less
severe than last year, the B. C.
people now consider that rumours
of Montreal’s terrible climate were
unfounded! Last year’s low tem­
peratures were the worst in over
fifty years, so we are not likely to
see them again for some time.
During the fall, two births and
three marriages have created a
more “homey” feeling in the com­
munity here, and there are whis­
pers of more such news to come.
Wishing The New Canadian con­
tinued success,

Your little papers were exceed­
ingly interesting and I wished
more Canadians might read the
letters of the young people and
become less prejudiced. Thinking
it might be of come solace to your
young people, I have written in the
following paragraph a letter ad­
dressed to the Editor of the Van­
couver Sun. Undoubtedly maav
others would agree with this man
but would be shy about expressing
it in print.

Five Years Ago
Editor The New Canadian . . .
. . . The weekly item on news of
Powell Street five years ago brings
back many pleasant memories.
Some of the names are very fam­
iliar, and knowing now now scat­
tered they all are, makes the page
from the past so much more inter­
esting. True none of us are so old
yet that we should be looking back
all the time, but still remembering
old days, old times and old friends
needn’t be reserved only for those
with grey hair. We hope’ you keep
up this feature.

Editor, The Sun: Sir—Those who
swear allegiance to the Crown
and Canada should be treated as
loyal subjects of the British
Commonwealth of Nations. I an:
a Scottish Canadian and I have
known many Japs in Canada
during my forty years’ residence
here, including my overseas war
service, 1914 to 1918.
I resent very much the sneers
and unkind remarks I have read
in the newspapers about the
Japs. I have haq| many kind acts
shown to me by Canadian Japs.
My daughter went to High
School with two or three Japs
and very good children they
were. Our \ Canadian-born Japs
know nothing of Japan and
many cannot speak the Japanese
language or even understand it.
My experience is that they are
sincere
in
their
loyalty to
Canada.
T. K. B.

The power of the Press in a
Democracy is the weapon of the
people and they should make use
of it. The letter of T. Muriel Kita­
gawa, to the Editor on Jan. 15,
impressed me with its sincerity* If
all the Nisei show this spirit they
are bound to win the respect and
eventually the admiration of their
fellow citizens. Certainly ‘the young
people need recreation but her
suggestion that the dance in war
time should have been given for
some good purpose was an excel­
lent one. I served on the Home
front in the last war and well
know how necessary to good mor­
ale is recreation.

From the Pacific Citizen:

Return of Nisei to Army-Service
Was Greatest Foward Step
The recent announcement of the
reopening of selective service pro­
cedures was the greatest single
step forward for Japanese Amer­
icans toward complete restitution
of their war-shorn privileges and
obligations. The ‘ reinstitution of
the draft may be considered a
direct result of the performances
of the two “segregated” units,
the combat record of the 100th
Infantry Battalion and the prom­
ise of the Combat Team.
There is little indication at
present to lend to the belief that
the United States army is pur­
suing any avowed policy of seg­
regation of soldiers of Japanese
ancestry. It is believed that the
two Japanese American units
which have been activited will re­
ceive replacements from among
those Japanese Americans who
are being drafted, but it is to be
hoped that the general policy of
the military forces will not bear
the stigma of racial segregation.
We know that Japanese Ameri­
cans will bear their share of the
obligations of citizenship, for only
by positive action can we insure
the future for which other Ameri­
cans of Japanese ancestry are
already fighting and dying. Let
it be said, if need be, that the
Japanese Americans were willing
to give more than might have
been expected of them, in the face
of the evacuation and its attendant
rigors, for the right to live as free
men in a free world.

Government Urged

To Take Steps in
Defence of the Loyal:
There are at least four argu­
ments for a government-sponsored
campaign to defend the name of
loyal Japanese Americans.
First, there is moral obligation
on the part of the government to
support the position of a racial
minority
•which
has
suffered
through no fault of its own, and
whose troubles have been in part
due to the not altogether rair
policy of the government curing
a critical war emergency.
Second, there is much to be
gained in national unity, and _ a
consequent strengthening or tne
nation’s strength? in combatting
fear, suspicion and dissension a= a
consequence
of
misinformation
about, or a deliberate hate cam­
paign against Japanese Americans.
Third, ammunition for propa­
ganda damaging to tne United -'■y
tions can be prevented from rescu­
ing the enemy by refusing Ayep
icans who espouse the racial nared line of the Axis nations.
Fourth, the government can ad­
vance its own program rovaru
elimination of racial minority pro­
blems (of which the WRA program
is but a small part), by nippy?
the trouble at its origin— wnu^
is the race hatred agitator.

In the Hamilton telephone direc­
tory, he is listed as Holland, O.W..
Lawyer, ^2 James North. Tele­
phone 7-0911. To all obvious Pur­
poses this caption seems enough,
fulfilling its intended need, but for
a few with bigoted concepts of
Canadian democracy, and the prin­
ciples contained therein, it might
be said to be Licking. For us too
it might oe lacking, but we have
another reason
a much deeper and a better reason. Oliver
Wendell Holland is a negro law­
yer, born and bred in Hamilton, a
graduate of the great law institute
in Toronto, Osgoode Hall.
Negro lawyer? What kind of a
man is he? His character? His
background? His outlook on racial
issues? His training? His prac­
tice? These might be a few of the
questions springing to our minds.
Because he is a negro? Yes. But
our interest is not derived from a
consideration of a mutation of the
ordinary, a freak in the circus of
environmental factors, but rather
■a fraternal interest, for in m^ny
ways, and yet so much less, our
problems and our approach to life
run on the same parallel plane as
the race which he represents.
He spoke to the Sophy-Eds last
night. We were not disappointed.
In his all-too-short talk we found
a man strong in character, strong
in resolution, strong in courage
and foresight. He left a message
with the Nisei told in simple words
and with simple illustrations. It
was a message which every Nisei
there understood and took to his
heart for it came from the depths
of the speaker’s heart with hon­
esty, and candor, and a sincere
desire to help.
However, in all truthfulness we
must say, that the message he left
with us was not entirely new. Most
likely the speaker was completely
aware of that fact more than the
audience to which he spoke. He
mentioned racial discrimination in
the matter of housing and employ­
ment met by the negro people. He
told us of the incident when the
Hall Johnson Choir came to Ham­
ilton to sing in the city’s churches
and theatres and yet were forced
to spend the night in their buses,
because no hotel would take them
in. He told us of a great Negro
contralto being turned away from
the doors of hotels and how she
became a guest of one of the city’s
most distinguished woman.
In speaking further of his race,

he stated that there was discrimination even
among
his
own people, Decause one was
lighter than he other . because
one had more money than the
other, because one was more
educated than the othe?r. Emphatically he rated that the be‘gin­
should be within our own
racial groups. The earnest advice
he gave could be well taken heed
of by many Nisei. Said he:
"Don’t go around with a chip on
your shoulders. By all means
prove—and you have to prove
yourself a little better than the
rest of the people, but never
think of yourself as superior, or
inferior—that you are just as
human as thev.”
In answer to questions put to
him from the listeners, he spoke of
himself. Yes, he had “run-in;
with members of his profession,
but before the courts of law he
was treated as an equal—as tne
law states all men to be. “Yes
they told me what I could expect
when I started out. I could speak
for hours on what I have encoun­
tered. For nine years I worked as

The most impressive note of his
talk was his foresight into the
future. The problem of racial dis­
crimination is a great problem, unabled to be solved even by laws
enacted in the council chambers
of a nation. But, what we are
going through and the fight we
are putting up, will be of benefit
to our children—and to their children and their children’s children.
The evening was ended on a
note of fellowship and goodwill
with the visitor rendering a few
spirituals to the enjoyment of all,
ahd later conducting the sing-song
with great vigour and pleasure,
As he stood up there singing
loudly in unison with the black­
haired
isei group with their
Mongilian fold over their eyes
and their slight shaped noses, did
not the colour of his skin fade into
nothingness ? Did not his racial
features disappear into meaning­
less? Yes, they did. And for a
moment—and such
a
precious
moment—the solution to the pro­
blem had been found. It was under­
standing and sincerity. It was fel­
lowship and a bond of common
purpose. It was love of one being
for another—and the love for all.

True Ganadianism
(The Kaslo Kootenaian)
It is a historic fact: racial min­
orities in Canada are allowed to
practise for generations after they
immigrate to this country, the cus­
toms, traditions and language of
the nations from which they came.
From the Scotch settlements in
Cape Breton to the “English sec­
tion” of Victoria, one may pass
through French Quebec, the Ger­
man settlements in Ontario and
the prairie provinces; the Finnish
and Scandinavian colonies around
Port Arthur and Kenora; the big
Ukrainian areas in Manitoba
the provinces to the west; the Italians in Toronto, Winnipeg and
Trail; the scandalous Doukhobors
of Nelson and the boundar; country; the evacuee settlements of
Japanese in interior B. C.; and the
Hindu and the Chinese sections of
the coast cities of B. C. What does
it all mean ? Some of1 these people
have been living in Canada for up­
wards of fifty years, and many

&o with the resourceful Marion
leaning tne way, tne little family
arrived at their remge m Alberta,
where their welcome was of doubt­

naturally feared hostility from the

they were not wanted. There was
no nope or returning to tne coast,
and tiieir labor brought no money

FORTUNATE BREAK
Then came a fortunate break. A
cousin of Marion'S attending a Ca­
nadian university got in touch with
a xeuow student whose home was
in tne Irene .Alberta town. Con­
tacts were made. Tne interest of
tne United church minister and the
C.G.I.T. was enlisted. Presently a
little human Kindness began to
envelop them in warmth. Oud jobs
developed—enuring and gardening
for the father, housework for the
mother and daughters. They moved
into town.
They became favorably known
to church people and others who.
overlooping popular prejudice,
called upon mem for help as
need aiose. Indivkiually they
proved competent and apprecia­
tive, building up a reputation
which has ‘aetped greatly.
So Marion is quite sincere when
she says. “Everything is wonderful
—just now. We owe so much to
the United church minister and the
C.G.I.T. who gave us the first sign
of friendship.’'
Fare of her equipment is a readi­
ness to tackle unfamiliar work and
“make a go of it.” She is now em­
ployed in a printing office, and one
