New Stage With Labor
The international president of the world s
largest industrial union, the CIO’s United
Autd Workers, has given the cause of peace
ful resettlement of .Japanese American evac
uees an important boost. In a letter to units
he reminded them of constitutional provisions
of this vast and growing labor organization,
prohibiting racial discrimination and made an
urgent plea for fair play for American work
ers of Japanese ancestry.
On the record it is a significant fact that
among labor organizations in the United
States, the progressive and rapidly-expanding
unions, that comprise the C IO have also been
most fair in their attitude on the resettlement
of Japanese American evacuees. Many trade
unions in mid-western cities and eastern
industrial areas have given active welcome^to
Nisei members from the- Pacific coast. The
work of the CIO .National Maritime Union to
place its Nisei seamen members in berths on
the eastern seaboard has been only one of
many significant contributions by these unions
not merely to evacuee resettlement, but just
as important to the cause of unity among
labor itself.
On the other hand, an active opposing
force has been noted in some quarters of the
“old guard” of the AFE. which fail to realize
that the security of a “sheltered” trade is a
very illusory one. Notable, ip this connection,
has been the International Teamsters Union.
Very similar reactions, though not as
sharply defined, have been evident on this side
of the border. Recent press reports noted the
sharp, but orderly, disagreement with the
CCF stand for justice to Japanese Canadians,
'voiced by members of the Chemainus sub
local of the International Woodworkers, a
CIO affiliate. The Edmonton Trades and
Tabor Council and the Alberta-Federation of
Tabor, AFT units, have taken an anti-evacuee
stand, based on the old story of undermining
labor standards. In contrast, in northern Ont
ario the AFT's international sawmill workers
organization has been sympathetic to the entry
of Nisei bushworkers to its ranks. In Win
nipeg CIO packing house workers are inter
ested in evacuee workers placed in Manitoba.
Reports from eastern industrial cities
have been confused, with a few cases of union
discrimination being cited. On the other hand
the CIO-CCL steel workers union has been
actively interested in evacuee foundry workers
joining respective locals, where such exist,
and the CCF affiliation with the Ontario CCF
suggests a favorable influence on attitudes of
unions in that congress. Some months ago.
the Hamilton Trades and Tabor Council
(AFT) endorsed a resolution against exploi
tation of workers, no matter what their racial
ancestry.
It ought to be self-evident to growingnumbers of scattered Nisei industrial workers
particularly that their interests must be mer
ged primarily with the workers at their elbows
Actually, in the past that obvious fact has
been obscured by two factors: first, the failure
of the Nisei to appreciate the aims and signi
ficance of union organization: second, the re
actionary attitude displayed at times by or
ganized labor itself.
Nevertheless, in two years since evacua
tion—the two years that smashed our self-con
tained racial community to pieces—the settinglias been prepared for marked changes. Des
pite various setbacks, we should expect to see
important strides being- taken by Canadian
workers of Japanese ancestry to identify
themselves chiefly with their fellow workers
in organized unions, just as we hope to see
a continued and growing appreciation
among organized labor that an insistence
on racial barriers is an open invitation to
exploitation.
To The Highest Court
Whether it was justified or not, the
long delay in securing a hearing lor the
property case before the Exchequer Court
has caused widespread concern _ among
evervone. The delay has served to increase
the suspicion that Justice may be conven
iently blinded to suit the purpose of, the
Government. Naturally, it has dampened
the enthusiasm which first greeted the pro
posal to seek recourse to the courts of law.
But it is important to us now to re
solve that the battle be carried out to
the very last ditch. No matter what the
decision in the Exchequer Court, we need
to prepare now to go to the highest court
in the land, offensively or defensively, i> a
fight of fundamental importance to every
Canadian in the land.
We must pledge in this, our responsi
bility, every resource at our command to
defend rights which never before have been
so violated in a democratic country. Surely
for us to submit timorously to a possible
legal defeat in the very first round, would
be as morally ignominious as- it has been
morally indefensible for the Government
thus to have stripped us of all possessions,
legally, honestly and so painstakingly
acquired.
Regardless Of History
From Picture Butte, in the heart of
Alberta’s sugar beets, comes an interestingletter. Once each week, for seven weeks,
young couples stood before the altar to
repeat an ancient ceremony and fundamen
tal process.
Whether Mr. King went to Toudou, or
manpower needs rose and fell: whether
Liberals and Conservatives passed resolu
tions. or the House debated postwar deport
ation, seemed of little consequence. What
was important was simply that soon the
farm would demand every energy, and soon
there would be no time for wedding
celebrations.
It recalls a notable article in the Prov
ince a few days ago. While the world waits
for news of’ invasion, Judith Robinson
remembers that other spring of waiting
of May, 1940, when the British armies fell
back to the epic of Dunkirk. Then, as now,
she remembers, regardless of history, lilacs
budded and chestnuts flowered, grass grew
green ip the rains and the soft wind stirred
the curtains.

T. U.’s KASLO LETTER:
Travel thru’ the Slocan Valley
(A “translation”)
PERSPECTIVE in PASSING
A year ago we enjoyed a sight
seeing tour of the sugar beet
farms of Alberta and Manitoba,
and we marvelled at the spirit and
courage of our friends carving out
new homes on the windswept prai
rie. This year’s trip, though brief
and in the opposite direction, was
none the less interesting for its
experiences.
One comes away from the Slo
can Valley struck most by the
changes recorded since our first
visit there in November, 1942.
Then, indeed, in those makeshift
days, the outlook was gloomy and
depressing.
But a marvellous
change has been wrought by
patient fingers and flexible minds,
and we feel now we can under
stand why many people have
grown attached to new homes. Per
haps they themselves have been so
close to these changes that they
are not no impressed. But a travel
ler is, and visitors from the prai
ries may well exclaim their sur
prise at what they see.

FISHERMEN and FARMERS
Mr. Y., an old friend of pre
evacuation days, lives in a quiet,
out-of-the-way place, so different
from the rows and rows .of cabins
that come to mind when one
speaks of an interior town. Before
him, screened by woods as if an
artist had put them there by de
sign, streches the panorama of lake
and mountain, for which many an
eastern evacuee yearns in home"sickness. “'Many a time—from
dawn to dusk—looking out here I
think myself back on the coast.”
“Life is good,” he spoke thought
fully. “During the day I work in
the woods, and in the evening, in
the gardens. Even in a small plot
like ours, farming is not easy, but
it gives- one an odd sense of satis
faction—almost of security. One
thinks that a farm should be a
good place to bring up children.”
My old friend used to be a fish
erman. And fishermen, used to the
risks and chances of the sea, to
the sudden changes, the thrill of a
big strike or the disgust of a poor
season, have little sympathy for
the patiently-grubbing farmer.
It’s a significant transformation!

ITALY (Delayed) - “Komatsu is
dead” the sergeant major told us
in a .sad and almost angry tone.
A strange reverent silence covered
the room, which was part of the
battalion command post.
There were about a dozen of us
in that room. None of us said a
word. We sat around oblivious for
a moment to the incessant enemy
shell fire and the machine gun’s
spitting and tearing the ground
just outside of the command post.
Komatsu had been our intelli
gence sergeant. He had been the
quiet type, the type who goes to
libraries
and
museums
while
others look for a good time. He
once told me that he studied Ger
man at the University of Hawaii.
Whenever any of the boys
brought in a nervous prisoner,
Komatsu was
called.
In
his

the prisoner.
In
my
association with him I never
heard him complain and he would
always mind his own business un
less someone went to him for help
or advice. There was no better
soldier than Komatsu in the bat
talion.
But he didn’t die a hero’s death,
but a desperately courageous one.
He was the eyes of the battalion
manning the observation post at
Cassino when an enemy mortar
shell killed him.
In this battalion there are
others like Komatsu, who gave
everything with no Silver Stars or
Distinguished Service Crosses to
mark their untiring devotion to
duty.
There are boys of “C” company
who brought down a seriously
wounded
artillery officer over
miles of rocky mountain trails and
through an icy cold rushing river
to safety. There are the boys who
sacrificed their precious woolen
overcoats for the wounded up in
the shivering hills so that they
might survive a few hours more.
There are the medical aid men
who have never hesitated to reach
the
wounded,
although
shells
shrieked while men listened from
fox-holes. There are the boys who
carry rations, water, the ammuni

mountains, under enemy observa

carry on under attack.
There are the countless other sol

heard him complain and he would
always mind his own business un
less someone went to him for help
or advice. There was no better
soldier than Komatsu in the bat
talion.
But he didn’t die a hero’s death,
but a desperately courageous one.
He was the eyes of the battalion
manning the observation post at
Cassino when an enemy mortar
shell killed him.
In this battalion there are
others like Komatsu, who gave
everything with no Silver Stars or
Distinguished Service Crosses to
mark their untiring devotion to
duty.
There are boys of “C” company
who brought down a seriously
wounded
artillery officer over
miles of rocky mountain trails and
through an icy cold rushing river
to safety. There are the boys who
sacrificed their precious woolen
overcoats for the wounded up in
the shivering hills so that they
might survive a few hours more.
There are the medical aid men
who have never hesitated to reach
the
wounded,
although
shells
shrieked while men listened from
fox-holes. There are the boys who
carry rations, water, the ammuni
tion and the valuable mail up steep
mountains, under enemy observa
tion so that their buddies can
carry on under attack.
There are the countless other sol
diers, unrecognized, but perform
ing deeds far beyond the call of
duty. Life may be painted as. color
ful-arid adventurous, but it is^alm
grim, cruel and tough. And there
ai'e many who, like Komatsu gav®
-their lives without fanrare an
without glory and in simple fu.miment of their duties.
A minister preached a sermon
on the duty of wives.
.
’“There is, alas, a woman in q-5
congregation who is ofren =y“J
of disobedience to her husband- t o
make an example of her. I wii
fling my book at her head.’’
He lifted up hi book and in
stantly every marneducked.

Once upon a time, that’s the
way all fairy tales are supposed
to start aren’t they ? Well this a
fairy tale and it has been running
through my mind about its origin,
perhaps you can tell me . . . who
knows ? If you do, won’t you kind

But to continue with, the story
. . . once upon a time there was
a magician. To the' audience out in

magician but "within him was Am

brilliant ... a master showman
who could pull out a hundred rab

his ambition each night he used

of magic but try as he might Peo

slept his three little daughters
eight and eleven. Each night start
ing at seven o’ clock the youngest
went to bed with her big doll, then
half an hour later the next one
went to bed likewise with her Pig
doll and finally the oldest did the
same. For you see these girls were
well trained and very punctual.
And just as punctually, starting at
ten o’ clock, the youngest’s doll
would fall out of bed and onto the
floor with a big thud. And here
after at half hour intervals the
rest of the dolls would fall out
hitting the floor with a big thud.
Night after night, as the magi
cian doggedly worked on his brand
of magic, he came to wait for the
three thuds. Then one night he
looked up from his work and saw
that the hands of the c ock were
pointed way past midnight and
then it occured to him that he had
not heard the three thuds that had
come to mean so much to him.
What had happened? He tiptoed
upstairs and there sprawled on <-he
floor were the three dolls!...
Then the magician realized that
