The Picture Today
Just about two years alter the great wartime removal
Was in full swing, the Minister of Labor has given an in
teresting and useful summary of the present-day picture.
Since the completion of the first removal stage itself,
the Minister told a House of Commons committee, the
Labor Department has followed a three-fold objective: to
place as many evacuees as possible
in
self-supporting,
productive employment; provide minimum, adequate liv
ing conditions for unemployables; and a basic Canadian
education for the children unable to attend regular Cana
dian schools.
Of these, the last is being fulfilled chiefly through the
use of Canadian-born and educated Japanese Canadians
themselves. The second, apparently, is also being attended
to in reasonable generosity by the Government, according
to the recent report of the Royal Commission. And of the
first, and most important, the Minister is now able to de
clare that from British Columbia to Quebec, almost half
o£ the Japanese in Canada are supporting themselves at
useful labor.
All in all, having in mind the endless compexities of
the situation, the picture today is so far removed from
that which prevailed two years ago as to give us a con
siderable pride and a continuing hope in the ability of our
group to weather both the wartime storm itself and the
probable gales to follow.
These Racial Fantasies
The irrational point of view so typical of most of
the anti-Japanese Canadian agitation emanating from
Canada’s west coast is perhaps no more typically illustra
ted than in a report of the New Westminster Board of
Trade.
This body of respectable, sensible business men, ex
pressing its opposition to the postwar return of people of
Japanese descent to the Pacific Coast, declares that “their
rate of increase is over five times the rate of increase of the
white people of this province and under the conditions ex
isting before the war, it would have been a matter of less
than 40 years until the Japanese population exceeded the
white population of B. C.”
This is the sort of wild imagining still being expres
sed, despite the cold fact as indicated by Provincial Gov
ernment vital statistics that the birth rate for persons of
Japanese origin in 1943 had actually declined to a level
lower than that for the “white” population.
Can we say anything more!

THE NEW CANADIAN
Mountain
Hermitage
Many months ago a headline in
this paper told of how Nisei re
settlers in Montreal had turned
thumbs down upon a proposal to
organize a society for social and
educational purposes among them
selves.
They did so, in the thought that
it was most desirable if the Nisei
did not seek social outlets among
their own group. Rather they
thought that they should try as in
dividuals- to -become assimilated in
to new social spheres in just the
same manner as they were being
assimilated into new economic
spheres, wholly apart from the
Japanese community of pre-war
days. This, certainly, is the ulti
mate goal implied in the assimi
lation of a racial minority and
most Nisei Canadians who think
about the matter and look forward
to the day when it will become a
reality.
But since then significant chan
ges—both in thought and, action
have developed. These changes ser
ve to give a more realistic clant
on the question of social assimila
tion. And we realize more vividly
than before that this process is
bound to be a slow one. It must be
worked out through a transitional
stage, if a minimum of personal
unhappiness is to be suffered.
Today these news pages reveal
the form of this transitional stage.
They are reporting extensively
upon the activities of Nisei organ
ized groups in almost every city
and town where any number of
evacuees have been settled. In
Southern
Alberta—at
Coaldale,
Taber, Raymond, Picture Butte and
elsewhere—Nisei
societies
have
sprung up largely under the gui
dance of the church institutions.
In Winnipeg, Manitoba Niseis have
printed letterheads for their “Maniseis” Club, embracing the growing
urban group and young people
from -surrounding rural districts..
In Toronto, Montreal, Hamilton
and London, clubs, committees' or
societies of varing nature and
purp< se have sprung up to absorb
the attention and energy of some
of the most capable of Nisei lea
ders in each centre.
These societies have grown out
of the very real needs of bewild
ered young people, torn from a
familiar home and environment
set adrift in a new world too likely
to be more hostile than friendly.
And while it is true that' evacuees
east of the Rockies tend to be the
most enterprising and vigorous of
us all, the youthful training and
experience of a large percentage
has not fitted them to make im
portant social contracts as inde
pendent individuals. The new or
ganizations, then, are chiefly im
portant because they provide out
lets for the instinctive gregariousness of ordinary human beings.
They offer fellowship with friends
with common problems and inter
est, make possible normal con
tracts between the opposite sexes,
and provide recreation such as or
ganized sports.
They are leaching beyond even

indicate—is of that quality which

lines, too, aie the evident signs of
reviving political interests—even
to the point where it is urged that
some link be made among the var

needs which arise out of a com

Editor, The New Canadian . . .
<£If wishes were horses, beggars
might ride.” My wish is to enter
a subscription to The New Cana
dian for a lifetime, but being like
a beggar, roaming from one green
pasture to another, I have to admit
that up to now I’ve been fortunate
enough to have friends everywhere
who subscribe to your paper. But
now I am completely isolated in
the wide open spaces of this prov
ince of Saskatchewan, so please
send m'e your copies- at your
earliest convenience.
I want to congratulate the whole
staff on their unceasing efforts to
publish good issues, each week.
Wherever I go it seems that the
repl^ about the news is, “I saw it
in The New Canadian.”
I would like to thank all my
friends, old and new, for their hos
pitality on my recent visit to Win
nipeg. The concert sponsored by
the Maniseis Club was. really a
treat for everyone. Here’s to the
success of Nisei Clubs from one
end of the Dominion to the other.

Editor, The New Canadian . . .
I am .going on a campaign to
“combat racial discrimination” by
collecting donations for “Reconci
liation”. If each Japanese in Cana
da sent, in a dime, these would be
a grand and generous donation of
$2,314.90. So far I see there has
not been a single Japanese Cana
dian contributor for the good fight.
Please send in your dime imme
diately to K. Oyama, 10816 Berri
St., Montreal, P. Q. The generous
donation will be sent without fail
to “Reconciliation”. Do not fail in
the fight to “Combat Racial Dis
crimination.” Send in your dime!

Editor, The J^ew Canadian . . .
May I suggest that you editor
ialize and quote any sources that
policy of repatriating 'all people
may point out the dangers of the
policy of repatriating all people of
Japanese ancestry in that it would
make British citizenship worthless,
and establish a dangerous prece
dent for people of other racial
descent?

THE SOLID FUEL CREDIT PLAN
To help householders purchase coal now . . . well in advance of actual

info operation again this year.
FEATURES OF THE PLAN
] t You should order your next winter s

2. You may pay for it in equal monthly
instalments, over a period to be
arranged with your dealer. All
payments are to be completed by
May 15 th, 1945.
3. All arrangements are to be made
with your dealer.
4, You simply fill in a Credit Applica
tion Form and sign a note for the
