Beet Workers Protest
Japanese Canadian sugar beet workers in
Southern Alberta have joined in an under­
standably unanimous protest against a recent­
ly-announced “freezing” policy which re­
stricts their freedom to change employers.
Just prior to the opening of the beet
planing season, the Alberta offices of the
Commissioner of Japanese Placement an­
nounced that requests for transfer from one
farm to another would not be considered, un­
less the change was to take place within the
borders of four specified districts. And a
permit for even this latter limited move would
be granted only upon the approval of an “In­
vestigating Committee”, described as being
comprised of representatives from the grower­
employers and the sugar manufacturing com­
pany.
The protest, strongly registered by meet­
ings of* the evacuee workers, ’is assuredly
soundly based.
In the past, the transfer of families has
been supervised directly by the B. C. Security
Commission, the government tlguncy respon­
sible for the placement of evacuee workers in
this industry. Over the past two years of try­
ing adjustments, these transfers have been
frequent, and in some cases individual far­
mers may have spent money in improving
living quarters for their workers, only to lose
them very quickly. But the evacuees deciare
that such movements have rarely taken place
without adequate reason, such as poor work­
ing, living and housing conditions, lack of har­
mony between farmer and contract worker,
inaccessibility of schools, inadequate water
supply, or for more personal reasons. Cer­
tainly it is sound to believe that if a family is
satisfactorily settled on one farm it. will work
there most efficiently and will not move away
without just cause.
In their protest, therefore, the workers
have pointed with justifiable pride to the
skiiiticant contribution thev have already
made to the sugar beet industry—in adjusting
themselves to the hard and onerous task of
providing the necessary manual labor for the
production of needed sugar. But they insist
that their future contribution is not being
<£iicouraged bv the undemocratic, selfish atlitude of employers who seek to gain such a
sweeping control over their labor by capitali­
zing upon wartime conditions.
Their protest, too. is directed toward
the Security Commission, which has repeat­
edly declared that it would at all times safe­
guard them from any and all forms of eco­
nomic exploitation. It points out. in under­
standable bitterness, that this newly-imposed
restriction has been wrung from the Com­
mission chiefly because of pressure from the
grower interests. It repeats, with understand­
able disappointment, that this riding is in
direct violation of solemn assurances given
both by government and farmer representa­
tives that evacuees would receive the same
freedom and independence enjoyed by all
other Canadians if they volunteered to move
to sugar beef farms two years ago.
Certainly the curtailment of their free­
dom is scarcely the sort- of reward they have
any right to expect when, despite the upheaval
of evacuation, they have given these two years
of <vood and faithful service to Canada.
One can accept people as people without marrying'
them, without having them sit in one's lap. without
trying to make them into something nearer one's own
ima^e. It is simple enough to let people alone sufScientl’v to enable them to live * according to their
fundamental requirements of food, shelter, work, rec­
reation and spiritual exercise.

Froth From Nelson
The daily newspaper published at Nel­
son, B. C., has worked itself into a rather
amusing froth over the postwar disposition
of the several thousand Japanese evacuees
now located in three settlements of the
West Kootenays. This week it devoted an
entire column and a half to a lengthy edi­
torial, expanding upon the good patriotism
which first led to the acceptance of the
evacuees in these districts, upon the neces­
sity of the- federal government and the Paci­
fic Coast fulfilling its obligations, and the
dangers of allowing evacuees to remain in
the Kootenays after the war.
To those in close touch with the mat­
ter, the editorial viewpoint of the Nelson
News—and its Board of Trade—is tinged
with the farcical.
Nelson itself, as citizens of Kaslo,
Slocan or Sandou will readily testify, has
no direct concern in the situation—except
for the fact that thousands upon thousands
of good Canadian dollars have been poured
into Nelson pockets from these towns where
the evacuees are actuallv settled.
That city is in a protected area. Hence
no person of Japanese origin is allowed
even to travel within forty miles of it
without a special permit—let alone live
there and try to make a living.

And if Nelson thinks its city is so at­
tractive that inimedi ately after the war
thousands of evacuees will rush to live
there, it must have an exaggerated opinion
of its own importance. The simple fact of the
matter is that the sparseness of economic
resources and the isolation of the Kootenays
has been responsible over the past two de­
cades for a steady decline in the prosperity
of the districts where the evacuees were
settled. The establishment of the settle­
ments two years ago has wrought economic
benefits so obvious that none but the blindly
bigoted can fail to perceive them. But in
the previous decline, the commercial im­
portance of Nelson itself was dwindling,
just as its population was dropping. Indeed,
at a time when acute housing shortages
were reported all over the country, the
Nelson News itself was able to carry adver­
tisements urging people to move to Nelson
to HU up its empty houses.
Despite the worldwide recovery from
the depression evident in 1931, and the in­
tensification of non-ferrous mining as a re­
sult of the war, the population of Nelson
declined from 5900 in 1931 to 5700, ten
years later; In the same period the popula­
tion of Trail increased by 1500 persons.
No, we regret to say it, but we cannot
help but feel that Nelson’s worry over its
postwar prospects are based only upon an
unhappy illusion of its own attractiveness.
No one will stay where he cannot make a
living, no matter how blue the lakes, how
balmy the air. how picturesaue the moun­
tain peaks. We mean no disparagement of
the beauty or climate of the country, or
that we do not like it here. But as the Jackson Royal Commission pointed out in its
report, economic opportunities are extreme­
ly limited. It is a plain fact — ruling out
radical economic changes—that if the fed­
eral government does not itself act. only a
very few evacuees will not pack up their
belongings and go in search of greener pas­
tures in the postwar world. And Nelson,
itself, may then again advertise its 'empty
houses.
Currently. Alberta has the jump on Ontario in rhe
matter of farm labor to produce its sugar beet crop.
Immediately after the Japanese attacked the United
States at Pearl Harbor and the movement was inau­
gurated to relocate the Japanese living in coastal B.C.,
the Alberta beet growers seized the opportunity to
secure approximately 3,000 Japanese for their beet
growing work. These people have proved of immense
value and perhaps can be said to have saved the
Alberta beet sugar industry from a severe decline
in production.

Many Employers Pleased with Nisei Workers
Editor, The New Canadian . . .
We have just received such a
splendid recommendation regard­
ing the'work of group of our Nisei
boys, that I wonder if you would
not like to share its contents with
your readers.
The letter is from Mr. F. C.
Thompson, manager of the A. E.
McKenzie
Seed Co., Ltd. Mr.
Thompson writes me as follows:
“This past season we have had
a number of Japanese employed
by us supplied through your
good selves. We are very well
satisfied with everyone of the
men you sent us. They have been
exceptionally good workers, puntual and very seldom missed a
day’s employment.
“Our season will soon be over
and we will have to release! most
of them. When our new season
commences again around’ the end
of August or the 1st of Septem­
ber we would certainly like you
to supply us with several more.

“We would have no hesitancy'
in recommending any of the men
we have had here to anyone re­
quiring their services as they
have certainly done a good job
for us.”
*
*
*

Too often, even those who are
sympathetic with the cause of the
Japanese Canadians, make our esti­
mates on the basis of the few who
may be unworthy. They bother us
so much more than the others that
they take on an undue proportion.
You' may be interested to know
that in a survey we made about a
month ' ago, we found there were
210 men in one city alone who
■were still in the same position to
which they were introduced on ar­
rival. Because of the fact that so
many of the boys were moving too
frequently we had the impression
that all of them were doing so.

Relocees Are Becoming a Part of Montreal
Editor, The New Canadian . . .
I am enclosing a copy of a let­
ter from a Nisei in Montreal who
will not mind, I think, my passing
it on to you and your readers:
“If the quick passing of time is
any indication that it has been well
spent I should be quite satisfied
with this year- just passed. It is
almost a full year since, we left
B. C. though it does seem incre­
dible. Tod-” ha- been like a summer day. Hl? children are playing
in the streets in cotton dresses and
suddenly there is not even a sign
of a fur coat. But for anyone re­
membering spring in B. C. it is
rather strange to feel this warmth
and enjoy the bright sunshine and
look up to see the trees still bare
and the gardens with.no growing
things as yet. I almost expect
though that one- morning I shall
wake up and find green leaves on
all the trees and flowers in full
bloom.
“According to the New Canadian
report, relocation seems to be gain­
ing momentum again. Montreal is
such a large city -with each of us
so absorbed in our own activities
that we do not seem to know when
new people arrive, where they’ go
or what they- are doing. Sometimes
on the street I see a new face, un­
questionably Japanese, and I won­
der just for a brief moment who
the person is, whether he is a new
arrival, what his work is or
whether he is out looking for a job
or a room, but before you think
any further het is swallowed up in
the crowd and he becomes just
another Montrealer.

“It seems to me that more and
more of the Nisei in this city’ are
being
absorbed into
Canadian
Society’. I am very much interested
to know just to what extent this is
true. Certainly’ there are those who
still group together as Nisei, but
nevertheless, I think the trend is
toward becoming more actively- as­
sociated with other Canadian peo­
ples. There are several Nisei who
have jom^ Church Y. P.’s and
some held executive positions.
Others belong to “Y” clubs and at
least four of us have attended Citi­
zens Forum Groups. A Nisei girl’s
music has given great pleasure to
several groups of occidentals and
I am sure that many’ instances
could be cited where individuals
are giving every’ evidence of being
not only normal Canadians but an
asset to industry’ and the society
of which they’ are a part.

“My’ experience of job hunting
when I changed from my’ first job
was very interesting. I was given
a list of five places' and I went to
them all. The places and the em­
ployers and the working conditions
interested me perhaps more than
the prospect of a job. My’ outstand­
ing impression at the time was the
absence of discrimination as I
went from one employer to another.
Perhaps it is because they1 are ac­
customed to interviewing people of
So many different races. Room
hunting, while somewhat more
tiring, also gave me that impres­
sion.”

Feeling Will Gradually Die Down
(Winnipeg Free Press)
The Calgary City Council re­
cently prevented 100 Japanese
from being brought in to work in
the packing plant in' that city.
Forty’ Japanese girls would be em­
ployed as domestics in Forest Hill
Village, the residential suburb of
Toronto, but for the opposition of
the village council. There is similar
opposition in some other parts of
the country, but it is interesting
to learn from Mr. Arthur MacNamara, director of Selective Ser­
vice. that there is less opposition
than formerly. A year ago he said,
all municipal councils were oppos­
ing the admission of Japanese.
Now his department learns cf only
about one case of opposition in a
month.
With the shortage of labor
everywhere, and with the desirabi­
lity of allowing the Japanese to
support themselves. Selective Ser­
vice is doing* all it can to place
them. Mr. MacNamara states that
quite a number are being placed
but that, though the opposition has
died down considerably, it is still
a difficult problem - to put all the
Japanese in employment.
Hundreds of Japanese have been
employed to advantage in Mani­
toba in connection with the sugar
beet industry-, and in general farm
work.
After the war, the Government

will no doubt deport all the Japa­
nese who have shown strong sym­
pathies with our enemies, and the
feeling against those who remain
will gradually’ die down, particu­
larly’ since the great majority, it
not all, will be Canadian citizens
by birth or naturalization. Tne
concentration of Japanese in Bri­
tish Columbia will have to be pre­
vented, in view of the very- strong
feeling in that province against a
return to the old situation.
The problem will be eased it
even the limited immigration is
stopped under an arrangement like
that now offered by’ Canada _ to
China, allowing only’ the admission
of specified classes under tempor­
ary but renewable permits.
Deportation of those wno are
Canadian citizens and against
whom no serious charge is laid,
would be ill-advised on all groundsAnd then there was the Niseiette teacher lecturing from Kings
“History of Britain”, who asked
of Akira:
“Akira, who was Anne Boleyn .
Akira: “Anne Boleyn was an
iron.”
Teacher: “An iron, Akira, want
on earth do you mean? "
Akira: “Well it says in the book.

FROM A MOTHER’S DAY ISSUE OF THREE YEARS AGO

Whistler painted a portrait of
his mother—a beautiful portrait of
a gentle old lady in a lace cap and
black dress, seated in a rocking
chair, her hands folded patiently’
in front of her, a picture of ven­
erable old age. If I were to paint
my’ mother—-in fact any Japanese
mother—it would be a far cry’
from Whistle r’s interpretation.
There would be about my’ picture
something elemental, something
wild, something rugged—not the
quietude and twilight peace of
Whistler’s “Mother”.

She would look ridiculous—our
Japanese mother — placed . in a
rocking chair, with hands folded.
I don’t believe she has time to re­
lax in any’thing so luxurious as a
rocking chair, has anything to
wear so dainty as black dresses
with lace collars. I don’t believe
she -will ever have an opportunity’
to relax in the “twilight of her
years,” a picture of venerable old
age, alone with her memories,

b.

She is new as the land which
now harbors her, as strong as the
rugged mountains on which she
casts her eyes each morning, as
rough as the -soil in which she
works, and as gentle as the land
from which she came.
You know her well.
*

in
Let its paint her portrait
colors given us by our association
with her.
No, our Japanese mother would
not sit alone, like Whistler’s study,
but would be somewhere in - the
background of a family’ group—
father, handful of stalwart sons, a
bevy of chattering girls, with per­
haps a youngster still trailing at
her skirts. Her outward appearance
would be painted in neutral tones
—almost sombre in their darkness
a grey inobtrusive
—more
shadow and not the mainstay of
the Japanese Canadian home that
she is.
But take a look at her hands.
Red, roughened, with broken nails
and gnarled joints . . . and there,
you have the history of her life . - .
courageous, full of light and sha­
dow, as thrilling, as heartbreaking’
as pathetic as any that might be
written by the greatest writers of
the day.

In. her- two hands is the story of
indomnitable courage. It was ad­
venture, the lure of gold, the love
of wide open spaces, that called
forth the Japanese mm-folk. it
was not so ior the little Japanese
wife, young girl-wife or picture
bride, as yet unused to the rough
and tumble life in a strange com­
munity, ever adjusting, ever shift­
ing, as her lord and master shift­
ed, picking up here and there, a
variegated picture of Canadian

i

THE BRIDAL TRAIL
GREENWOOD.—A very pretty
wedding took place May 1 when
Miss Kanako Oye and Mr. Takeo
Kariya were united in marriage by*
Rev. A. Burnett, reports the Grand
Forks Gazette.
The bride "wore a becoming suit
of green . and white with hat to
match. Her bridal bouquet was a
beautiful mixture of cut spring
flowers. After the ceremony, a
dainty luncheon was served, rhe
bride’s table being centred by a
4-tier wedding cake.
The groom came back to B. C.
from Port Credit for the cere­
mony, and will take his bride j-0
Ontario where they’ will maxe
their home.
SLOCAN.—At a ceremony- May
3, the engagement was announced
of Tomiko, fourth daughte of Mr.
Uyemon Tsuji of Popoff, to Mr.
L oshio Terakita, fourth son cf
Mrs. Imaye Terakita,’ also oi Pop­
off. Mr. and Mrs. K. Goto and Mr.
and Mrs. M. Kimura are baishakunins

life, working- side by side with him
that food and shelter and some
measure of comfort might come,
not for themselves, but for the
little Taro s and the Seijis and the
Michikos that came rapidly to
drain the family purse.

And in time, some of the softness. the frail, flower-like loveliness faded and in its stead she
acquired the characteristics of that
vast
sisterhood
of
immigrant
wives, ready’ at repartee, equal to
give and take with the best of the
men, practical, materialistic, and
loudly jovial. But the fundamental
teachings of her special code of
ethics, at times incongruous in so
boisterous an enviroment, persisted.
. .

And she was capable of anything, and if the lord and master
left on some journey’ from where
there was no returning, armed
with intense courage, an uncon­
querable will and a mere smatter­
ing of English, she took his place,
happy’ in the dream that little
Taro, little Seiji and little Michiko
would have the best.
y,
;?

*

*

But look into her eyes. ’They’ say
inscrutable.
Oriental
eyes
Catch her unawares, and there,
you will glimpse visions of un­
spoken, unvoiced tragedies. There
you can read the story’ of a cursed
loneliness, the loneliness of iso­
lation, loneliness born Ol inarticu­
lateness due ’o strange tongue and
still stranger modes. You see
there too, the story of a slowly
oncoming heartbreak as Taro and
Seiji and Michiko find their way
in a new- generation. The gulf is
widening, and the rebellion, the
heartbreak is expressed only in her
eyes, Only when a young voice
chides her for her ignorance, only
when a temple bell tolls in the
dusk, only’ when a chance letter
comes from across the sea . - •
one sees it there.
And yet, beneath all this surface
hardness, repression and determi­
nation, beats the proud mother­
heart,
generous,
compassionate,
tender of her loved ones, ever be­
lieving that even if her own girl­
ish dreams have gone astray, her
sons and daughters possess some
happy’ secret for success . . .. and
she shall dream again.
