Race Equality and Labor Movement
(“Racism Divides ’Workers” by

With the spread of war, the

In Canada, the United States,
the Near East, indeed the world
over, communal antagonisms and
race riots are obstructing beyond
measure the principles of common
justice, and delaying, who knows
how long, the time when they may
be applied to all men.
It has always beeri,the policy of
rulership to divide sects and races
against each other, thus controlling
the lives and destinies of all.
Today there i§ more need fox’ the
common people of all races, to
realize the seriousness of the situ

The master classes know that
the doctrine of race superiority is
a myth, yet it is deliberately fos
tered to serve their own ends.
Nevertheless* it is realized that the
ruling classes of one country have
more fellow feeling for the people
status in another country than they
have for the common people of
their own.
DIVISION TN PEOPLE
With the growth of the capital
ist system, the dividing lines be
tween the people of the world have
become just as strong horizontally
as vertically. That is to say, more
strongly than national boundaries,
and regardless of racial origin all
the peoples of the planet are herd
ed into a gigantic pyramid, with
vested interests camped on top.
In the defense of power and pro
fit, racism does not divide capital,
but the common people of the
world are kept divided by artificial
antagonism, by political boundaries
and by vicious propaganda. And
so, the average citizen of the world
finds himself in the middle of a

movements are dictated by vested
interests, and his own little square

the idea that certain races are in
herently superior to others. It is
well known to science that intelli
gence and artistic ability are not
inherited. Nor are acquired char
acteristics passed on to a new
generation.
If the concept of the brother
hood of man means anything, it
is imperative that the labor move

practicing the principles of race

MUST PROVE EQUALITY
In their struggle for freedom,
the working classes of all nations
must seek to prove that >all men

The main factor employed in
building society, even under capi

of the institutions enjoyed today
would be possible without a joint
effort on the part of all kinds and
types of human beings.
Why is it then, that having
reached a certain stage, men ap

kingdoms of life that variety
makes- for strength and quality,
and yet those who are the “roof
and crown of things”, with all their
proud “civilization”, are behaving
contrary to evolution and social
law.
The mission and function of the
labor movement is to condemn in
no uncertain terms the prejudice
and hatred of one man for another
because of the; “accident” of birth.

is bounded above and below by
class demarcation, and on each
side by geographical boundary
lines.There is no scientific basis for
the idea that certain races are in
herently superior to others. It is
well known to science that intelli
gence and artistic ability are not
inherited. Nor are acquired char
acteristics passed on to a new
generation.
If the concept of the brother
hood of man means anything, it
is imperative that the labor move
ment take the lead in teaching and
practicing the principles of race
equality. For the brotherhood of
man -will mean nothing unless the
workers choose to make it a posi
tive force, that is, to make a moral
concept an agent in human affairs
—for all action is the result of
thought.
MUST PROVE EQUALITY
In their struggle for freedom,
the working classes of all nations
must seek to prove that >all men
are equal in their right to ,a fruit
ful life and in the common enjoy
ment of skillful creation.
The main factor employed in
building society, even under capi
talism, is collective effort. None
of the institutions enjoyed today
would be possible without a joint
effort on the part of all kinds and
types of human beings.
Why is it then, that having
reached a certain stage, men ap
pear reluctant to take the final
steps to crown the efforts of mil■leniums ? It is proven in all the
kingdoms of life that variety
makes- for strength and quality,
and yet those who are the “roof
and crown of things”, with all their
proud “civilization”, are behaving
contrary to evolution and social
law.
The mission and function of the
labor movement is to condemn in
no uncertain terms the prejudice
and hatred of one man for another
because of the; “accident” of birth.
That which befalls any man on
earth, befalls all men, because all
are a part of humanity, and there
fore, as John Donne so well ex
pressed it, “Do not send to know
for whom the bells tolls; it tolls
for thee:”
Namblin’.. soutI? of tfye 'bother
solo recital in New York.
An accomplished seamstress as
well as dancer, Miss Amemiya
worked during the day in a Man
hattan dress shop and studied
dancing at night, until she was
awarded the full time scholarship.
VISIT TO WHITE HOUSE ....
Capt. Jack Mizuha, of the famed
100th Infantry Battalion composed
mainly of Hawaiian Niseis, will
have something to tell his grand
children when he gets on in his
years.
The veteran of the present war
received a personal invitation from
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and visited
the White House to pay a social
call on the first lady on April 6.
Capt. Mizuha who is an expoliceman from Hawaii received
the invitation while recuperating
in the hospital from wounds re
ceived ’n the Italian campaign.
HOOP STAR
Another Nisei American who
made good in the field of sports
is ' Wat Misaka, University of
Utah’s star basketball player on
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association championship team.
The five feet eight flash was &n
outstanding performer on the court
of the world famous Madison
Square Gardens in New York. His
brilliant defensive play led the
Associated Press to choose him as
the “best defensive player on the
floor.”
Pen Pal Sought
From the relocation centre at
McGehee. Arkansas comes a re
quest from a Nisei girl for a pen
pal in Canada. Five feet tall, ath
letically inclined and a lover of
swing music, 21 year old Kimi
Hishujima would like to corres
pond with anyone (male or female)
between the ages of IS and 25.
Anyone wishing to contact Miss
Hishujima write to: 11-7-D. Re
location Centre. McGehee, Arkan

We re ALL in it
TOGETHER
This is a war that must be fought not onl y
on the battle fronts, but here at home as well.
This is OUR war ... there’s a part in it
for each of us.
The men and women in uniform are fighting for a big
idea . . . for FREEDOM! Not only freedom for
themselves, but for each one of us here in Canada. Can
we just sit back and let them fight our battle FOR us?
No, our job is to help make sure they get all the ships
and the food and the ammunition they need.
Our job is to help make THEIR job a little easier,
get it done a little sooner!
It is not a question of £how’ you can help,
but ‘how much’! How much can YOU sacrifice, and save,
and lend ... to buy ALL the bonds you can.
And EVERY bond you buy will help!
We’re all in it together. Together we will win.
HOW SOON DEPENDS ON EACH ONE OF US!
This then is our duty .,. .

THE NEW CANADIAN
At the annual convention of
1943, the British Columbia section
of the CCF met in April to con
sider various problems, among
them that of Orientals in British
Columbia, with, particular refer
ence to those of Japanese origin.
Recognizing the need for a policy
to cover the immediate war situ
ation and, at the same time, to
indicate the lines along which a
post-war settlement of the Orient
al question must be found, it laid
down the following principles:
“This Convention believes that
the Japanese question is but a part
of the problem of all racial minor
ities in Canada and that it must
be solved along the lines of social
justice set forth in the Atlantic
Charter.
“This solution can only come
about through the elimination for
all Canadians of economic insecur
ity which is the underlying cause
of all racial antagonism.
“The present proponents of re
patriation, the representatives of
big business and reaction, base
their proposals on a return to the
old pre-war conditions of unem
ployment and resulting racial jea
lousies and hatreds. These reaction
aries who shout so blatantly for
repatriation were the very ones
Page 7)
----- ..—■
CCF View on the Japanese Question
(In its annual convention held in Vancouver last week the British Columbia section of the Co-oper
ative Commonwealth Federation re-aftirmed a declaration of policy with respect to persons of Japanese
origin in Canada, which was adopted at its 1943 convention. This policy is described by Grace and
Angus Maclnnis in their recent pamphlet, '“Oriental Canadians” in these terms).
who encouraged the entry to Cana
da of cheap labor for purposes of
labor exploitation.
“While the CCF was in favor of
evacuation of the Japanese from
the protected area for reasons of
defense, it must be noted that
such demands immediate action by
the Dominion Government to avoid
aggravation of social and economic
problems in British Columbia dur
ing the postwar period. In this con
nection the following facts are
noted:
“The majority of the Japanese
families are now being maintained
and housed in crowded and tem
porary quarters at public expense
in a few centres in the interior of
B. C. Arrangements for limited
relocation in Alberta, Manitoba
and Ontario, have been negotiated
only for the duration of the war.
Opportunities for productive em
ployment have been negligible and
their financial resources are being
exhausted. Partial education of
Japanese children, financed by the
Dominion Government, is mainly
under the direction of the Japanese
themselves.
Substantial
invest
ments now under Government ad
ministration, are still held by the
Japanese in various business enter
prises in B. C.
“It may therefore be anticipated
that upon cessation of hostilities
pressure will be exercised by the
Japanese and by the province and
communities where they are now
resident, for their immediate re
turn to the Coast area. This will
confront communities in this area
with acute problems during the de
mobilization
period.
Japanese
workers have been displaced in
their ' former occupations, housing
accommodation has been re-allocated, and educational facilities are
overtaxed. It is therefore impera
tive that the Dominion Government
should now plan to protect the

all a K. D., and explain: “Joan is

on the Clipper from Hawaii.”
“Man, oh man, John, where’d
you meet a swell-looking job like
that?” the boys would ask after
she had gone.
John would be matter-of-fact:
“Knew her in Hawaii. I met her
while life-guarding in Waikiki.”
“You’ve been holding out on us.
Hell, we didn’t think you’d know a
girl like that.’”
John watched his friends dance.
He felt apart from them. It was
not like this when he was playing
poker or exchanging lecture notes
or studying with them. He leaned
against the wall and looked toward
the entrance of the dining hall.
Joan came in, wearing a white
and red combination that made the
dresses of the other girls look like
something picked up at a sorority
raffle. She saw him right away.
“John! I’ve been looking all over
for you.”
“It’s swell to see you again,” he
said. “You’re really beautiful to
night.”
They danced. He tried a! few in
tricate and difficult steps, and she
followed him, gracefully, lightly.

He felt a tap on his shoulder.
“Busy, John?”
John turned and saw Finston,
the house manager, beside him.
“No. Not very, I guess,” he said.
“Just watching . . . and thinking.”
“Want to serve punch in the
kitchen ? We’ll give you workshift credit.”
“Sure . .. sure, I’ll be glad to.”

music fading as he walked down
the hall. There wasn’t any more
punch. He had scooped it out of a

poured it into dixie cups.

standing there in a white apron
which nearly touched. the floor, he
had handed the drinks to the cou

and excited, from the dance floor.
John opened the door to his
room and switched on the light.
“Hey, shut it off!”
“Oh, Resting your eyes again,
Bill?” John turned off the light.
“Anything cooking?”
“Naw, she just went into the
other room.”
“Pretty good show last night.”
He could see Bill’s head silhouetted
in the window.
“It wasn’t bad. She pulled down
the shades before it really got
good though. It isn’t 10:30 yet.”
“Got her act - kind of timed,
haven’t we?”
“Yeah. Dance any good?”
“Lousy.” John took off his coat
in the dark. “Nothing but bags

bunch of piano-legged bags.”
He pulled a chair to the window.
“Move over^ Bill.”

At the annual convention of
1943, the British Columbia section
of the CCF met in April to con
sider various problems, among
them that of Orientals in British
Columbia, with, particular refer
ence to those of Japanese origin.
Recognizing the need for a policy
to cover the immediate war situ
ation and, at the same time, to
indicate the lines along which a
post-war settlement of the Orient
al question must be found, it laid
down the following principles:
“This Convention believes that
the Japanese question is but a part
of the problem of all racial minor
ities in Canada and that it must
be solved along the lines of social
justice set forth in the Atlantic
Charter.
“This solution can only come
about through the elimination for
all Canadians of economic insecur
ity which is the underlying cause
of all racial antagonism.
“The present proponents of re
patriation, the representatives of
big business and reaction, base
their proposals on a return to the
old pre-war conditions of unem
ployment and resulting racial jea
lousies and hatreds. These reaction
aries who shout so blatantly for
repatriation were the very ones

----- ..—■
CCF View on the Japanese Question
(In its annual convention held in Vancouver last week the British Columbia section of the Co-oper
ative Commonwealth Federation re-aftirmed a declaration of policy with respect to persons of Japanese
origin in Canada, which was adopted at its 1943 convention. This policy is described by Grace and
Angus Maclnnis in their recent pamphlet, '“Oriental Canadians” in these terms).
who encouraged the entry to Cana
da of cheap labor for purposes of
labor exploitation.
“While the CCF was in favor of
evacuation of the Japanese from
the protected area for reasons of
defense, it must be noted that
such demands immediate action by
the Dominion Government to avoid
aggravation of social and economic
problems in British Columbia dur
ing the postwar period. In this con
nection the following facts are
noted:
“The majority of the Japanese
families are now being maintained
and housed in crowded and tem
porary quarters at public expense
in a few centres in the interior of
B. C. Arrangements for limited
relocation in Alberta, Manitoba
and Ontario, have been negotiated
only for the duration of the war.
Opportunities for productive em
ployment have been negligible and
their financial resources are being
exhausted. Partial education of
Japanese children, financed by the
Dominion Government, is mainly
under the direction of the Japanese
themselves.
Substantial
invest
ments now under Government ad
ministration, are still held by the
Japanese in various business enter
prises in B. C.
“It may therefore be anticipated
that upon cessation of hostilities
pressure will be exercised by the
Japanese and by the province and
communities where they are now
resident, for their immediate re
turn to the Coast area. This will
confront communities in this area
with acute problems during the de
mobilization
period.
Japanese
workers have been displaced in
their ' former occupations, housing
accommodation has been re-allocated, and educational facilities are
overtaxed. It is therefore impera
tive that the Dominion Government
should now plan to protect the
