Testing- Democracy
Apart altogether from the actual fact of
mass expulsion on racial grounds alone, one
of the most significant aspects of Canadian
policy in the wartime treatment of its small
minority of 23,000 Japanese Canadians is
steadily emerging in regard to land and prop­
erty rights.
To say that action taken in this respect
bv the’Federal Government, acting under the
very wide powers conferred upon it by the
■War Measures Act, has been drastic and
sweeping, is merely an understatement. It has
been more than expropriation for military
purposes, for not only has property been taken
away for no good reason, but the right to
acquire new homes and new farms in their
stead has been denied. It is more than a safe­
guard against wartime “penetration”, for not
only is it impossible for those of Japanese
origin to gain tangible interests in new homes;
but they have been deprived of both real and
personal property legally acquired years be­
fore the war.
It is, perhaps, inconceivable that in a
supposed democratic country so grave an in­
vasion against any other person, wholly in­
nocent of any indictable crime, could be
countenanced. Certainly legal restriction upon
even enemy aliens of other racial origins has
not reached the limits imposed upon naturalborn or naturalized Canadian citizens of
Japanese descent. Nor is there the record of
convicted felons or those actually interned
for treasonable activity and later released
being subjected to equal disablities.
It is evident that the powers upon whom
the responsibility for such an invasion of in­
herent rights must rest, cannot have taken
such steps lightly. Strong political pressure
from racist forces in British Columbia parti­
cularly have been chiefly responsible. Upon
these lies the indirect responsibility for a
moral wrong which denies completely the
ideological triumph of the United Nations
against the Axis. But the entire fabric of
Canadian democracy is likewise being tested.

School Responsibility
Acting upon the recommendation of the
Royal Commission, which early in January
conducted an investigation jnto the mainten­
ance and welfare of evacuees in British Col­
umbia settlements, the Commissioner of Japa­
nese Placement has announced that the Prov­
incial Government is again being approached
with a view to re-assuming its responsibi­
lities in respect to the education of British
Columbia children.
The Royal Commission accurately point­
ed out that "although education is and always
has been a provincial right and obligation, the
Department of Education of the Province of
British Columbia has refused to take any res­
ponsibility for the education of the Japanese
children in the Interior Settlements although
before these same children were evacuated
from the Defence area this responsibility was
recognized and assumed.”
To date, therefore, a major portion of
elementary education has been provided by
the Dominion, chiefly through the employ­
ment of untrained Canadian-born Japanese
young people as teachers. Secondary educa­
tion has been carried out at the direct expense
of families themselves, with the invaluable
and much-appreciated aid of established
Churches in Canada.
A practical view of the matter was offer­
ed at an early stage. Ottawa believed that it
would contribute a fair share by providing and

THE NEW CANADIAN

maintaining the necessary buildings. The
provision of staff and curricula was logically still the obligation of the Department
of Education, which up to the time of the
evacuation had always discharged this right
and duty fairly and justly.
It is clear that the Provincial Govern­
ment has not valid grounds for its refusal
to contribute to education in any way. It is
acknowledged that since the evacuation was
carried out under Federal direction, a por­
tion of the responsibility does lie with the
Dominion. But this is no way changes these
obvious facts: that the removal to interior
settlements had the full approval of Vic­
toria: that the children are still legally resi­
dent in the Province in which almost all
were born; that through the course of years
before the Avar their families discharged all
their individual obligations to the support
of the state; and that it has been no fault
of their own that normal education facilities
are now denied to them.
It is not likely that any basic changes
can be practically effected in the system of
education already established in the interior
settlements. But considerable improve­
ments undoubtedly need to be made, and
the Provincial Department of Education is
best fitted to make them, once it acknow­
ledges its responsibility in the provi­
sion of a Canadian education for naturalborn future citizens. Not the least of these,
incidentally, is the cchitinuecl training and
more adequate compensation to the young
women giving such valuable service as
teachers.

The Exchequer Court of Canada

Going- Native
British evacuee children, returning to
England from temporary wartime homes m
America, are reported to have greeted their
long-separated fathers and friends with
“Iliya, Pop” and “Hey, Buddy,” in the
best tradition of American slanguage. This,
it is related, is only one of most obvious
instances of how their “exile” in Canada
and the United States has affected these
“gum-chewing” children. And it will take
some time to overcome the confusion
among English fathers, who, it seems, are
finding the transit from “pater” to “pop”
rather a disturbing one.
We acknowledge a sympethetic under­
standing of their plight. For our own child­
ren. scattered far and wide from the Pacific
Coast, have been acquiring enouglt new
things in the past two years as to leave us
not a little bewildered.
If things go on as might naturally be
expected, a trip across Canada is likely to
reveal some rather startling examples of
adaptation to environment. In Montreal
and in Manitoba, ,it is said, school children
are not only acquiring Parisian French, but
are even chattering with appropriate ges­
tures in the local "patois”. New Ontarians,
on the other hand, are losing their Pacific
Coast intonation for a more "refined” ap­
preciation of the Ning’s English—subject
however to a Jugo-Slavian influence in the
northern woods. And young Albertans may
surprise us soon with a strong Hungarian
accent, if not by their conversion to the
Mormon church.
In view of these developments a word
of caution is due. We see no reason why—in the interests of Allied Nations' unity—
a little Russian may not profitably be
acquired by those of us still located in the
Kootenays. But Slocanites especially might
be cautioned against the acquisition of
more spectacular traits, at least, of their
Doukhobor neighbors!

Mr. Cruickshank, it appears, not only
wants his electors to have their cake and
eat it too. but it must be strawberry short­
cake as well.

It may be slow but relocation, like the
babbling brook, does manage to go on
and on.

(Canadian Parliamentary Guide)

The Exchequer Court of Canada
is the judicial body which posses­
ses original jurisdiction in all cases
where demand is made or relief
is sought against the Crown.
When a person has reason to be­
lieve that wrong has been done
to him by the Government he
makes application to Exchequer
Court on Petition of Right.
The Court sits from time to
time by special order in such
places as the-business of the Court
requires. General sittings of the
Court may, also be held as ordered
by a Judge of which notice is pub­
lished in the Canada Gazette.
The Court is also continued as
the Admiralty Court in Canada.
The President and the Puisne Jud­
ge have admiralty jurisdiction of
the Court. The Governor-- in .Coun­
cil may from time to time consti­
tute any part of Canada an Admir­
alty District and appoint Judges
to preside therein to be designated
as District Judge in Admiralty of
the Exchequer Court in and for
such Admiralty District.
The Exchequer Court is also the
Prize Court in time of war.
The judges take the title of
“honourable”. The Court is com­
posed of the President, the Puisne
Judge and the Registrar.
HON. J. T. THORSON
The present President is the
Hon. Joseph Thorarinn Thorson,

treal when he was appointed to the
Court.

Willard Duclos who was educated
at McGill and called to the Quebec
Bar in 1898. Soon after that he
went to Ottawa and continued to

erature in editing and revising the
sixth edition of Bourinot’s noted
“How Canada is Governed ’.
He exercises the jurisdiction of
a Judge in Chambers.

LESS ACTING
From our cousins south of the
border, comes a little advice which
perhaps can. just as easily be ap­
plied to many a Nisei this side of
the 49th parallel. Says John Kitasako in the Heart Mountain Sen­
tinel:
“The sooner they (the Nisei)
stop acting and feeling like
America’s symbols of racial per­
secution and martyrs of racial
injustice, the quicker and easier
will be their integration into
American community life. The
moment they begin to think and
behave like any normal Ameri­
can they will be treated as
Americans.”

FIRST FEMININE WINNER
The distinction of being the first
feminine winner of an award for
submitting the best suggestion to
speed up production and increase
efficiency went to a Japanese
American girl employee at a large
lithographing firm in Chicago re­
cently.
Cherry Yoshitomi, relocee from
a war relocation centre was the
winner of the monthly $50 war
bond award for the month of May

HIGH SCHOOL TITLE HOPE
Another Nisei American athlete
made a splash in the news recently
—seventeen year old high school
track star, Henry Aihara. Under
the headline spread of “Ambition
of Japanese boy gives New Trier
Title Hope,” the Chicago DailyNews devoted a column and a half
to a picture and story- of the New
Trier High School’s high jumping
and broad jumping ace.
The resettler from a relocation
centre in Arizona admitted that he
was having a hard time working,
keeping up with his studies and
finding time for relaxation and ex­
ercise in track. He is working his
way through school with a parttime domestic job.
Wrote the Chicago Daily News
about the Nisei who makes broad

jumps of over 22 feet: “Any way
you figure it, Henry Aihara, the
frail-looking quiet Japanese Amer­
ican boy who moved with his fam­
ily from his home in Garden
Grove, Calif., to camp in Arizona,
and thence alone, to Winnetka to
pursue his education is a major
item in New Trier’s title plans,”

GOOD AS ANYBODY
“My tooth hurts,” he said. He
opened his mouth and pointed to a
molar. “Ummnifumff this one right
here. I eat too much candy.”
Then he said: “I don’t mean to
be nosey but are you Chinese ? ’
He wasn’t much more than 12
years old. I smiled and shook my
head.
“I know,” he said. “You’re Jap­
anese American. But that’s all
right. It doesn’t matter what
you are, just so you’re a good
American. Just so you live in
this country and think Amer­
ican.”
I thought he sounded as it he
had been reading Sentinel editor-...
ials.
“Lots of people think theyre
better than other people,” he con­
tinued. “I know a paper delivery
boy who acts big when he collects
from a Japanese American man on
his routes, but I betcha the Japa­
nese American is as good an
American as anybody.”—“On tne
Out-side” by Bill Hosokawa in the
Heart Mountain Sentinel.

IT’S FUNNY
Funny how stories for and
against us always dominate bull
and hen sessions. I suppose it s
like old women going over their
aches and pains. We like to hear
stories of how other people
were hurt to reassure ourselves
that we aren’t the only ones. A
phychologist may be able to ex­
plain a feeling like that, but we
caH it a branch of the persecu­
tion complex.
—Minidoka Irrigator.

WR A F igures Show
SAN FRANCISCO — The War
Relocation Authority revealed on
May 11 that nearly 73 per cent of
American born persons of Japan­
ese ancestry have never visited
Japan and 33 per cent of those
who have visited Nippon had no
schooling there.
These figures were released fol­
lowing a study of WRA of Japa­
nese aliens and American citizens
of Japanese ancestry under its
jurisdiction. A total of 27,000 cases
—on fourth of the total number
originally confined in the war re­
location centres—were checked the
WRA reported. Of this number
9144 were reported born in Japan
and 17,956 in the United States
said the Pacific Citizen.
Of the 47 per cent of the visi­
tors to Japan who have had school­
ing there, less than one eighth
have had more than three vears,
WRA figures asserted.
“The records show that during
the more impressionable years

their education in America under
the democratic tradition," VRA
Assistant Director Robert Cozzena
declared.
“This is the group about whom
Carl Sandburg recently wrote in
quoting a missionary's letter: The
lot of the Nisei in Japan was not
wholly a happy one. Their rela­
tives and friends were bewildered
and annoyed by these strange
