POSTWAR
FOREWARNING
A forewarning of some concrete postwar
lifficulties which many Japanese
Cana
dians might expect to face at the war's end
is given in the announcement that the houseing settlement at Sandon is to be closed.
The community there, which after two
years of adjustment had settled itself into a
well-ordered routine, is steadily breaking up
as the people prepare to move elsewhere. And
before the end of the summer it is expected
that the historic mining town will once again
be left to the silence and the memories of its
ghosts and its mountains.
Under present conditions, though meet
ing with the inconvenience of moving, the
residents will not suffer great difficulties m
finding new homes for the second time since
Pearl Harbour. Some have already been
transferred to neighboring housing settle
ments, and it is likely that a majority of the
others will gradually follow in their footsteps.
But the closing of the town is significant
in the vi/vid warnings it raises for the future.
{The obvious question is that at the end of the
war, is the Government likely to carry on the
same responsibilities for the welfare of evac
uees it now rightfully discharges. Is it prob
able that, the arrangements for housing
and maintenance in interior settlements will
be continued for longer than a brief period
after the cessation of hostilities? And if the
answer is. “No”, then those still in the centres
and dependent upon the Government must
face a very real problem. Will they be able to
support themselves where they are, or if not
where are they 'to go ?
The answer that some obviously may
have is to go to Japan—either from choice or
because they are forcibly expelled. Yet it is
clear that such a movement, whether volun
tary or compulsory, is still a most uncertain
one and the developments in national, and
international affairs are not helping to
clear up that uncertainty. The thought k, in
fact, entertained chiefly because of a re
fusal to face the complex realities of the situ
ation today.
It iis true that even those of us who have
followed the relocation trail to settle them
selves once again in normal society face
a similar problem of postwar dislocation. But
it is by no means as certain as the even
tual closing of all the interior settlements.
And certainly they will be better prepared by
their struggle and efforts now, both, economi
cally and morally, to face any strain that
may arise in the postwar period.
PITH AND SUBSTANCE
Legal language is not designed for easy,
understandable reading even bv lawvers them
selves. Hence many of our readers, interested
though they may be in the legal points raised
by the property case, may have had some dif
ficulty in getting down through the verbiage
of the report to the “pith and substance” of
the matter.
In brief, as we see it, Mr. Justice Tliorson
must settle two questions before giving any
decision. First, he must decide the technical
point of whether the Custodian is a servant of
the Crown, spice only in that case can the
Exchequer Court review the matter. If the
Custodian is not a Crown servant, then the
owners cannot seek relief from the Govern
ment through that Court.
But if the correct legal form and proce
dure has been observed, then the Judge must
decide if the order-in-council issued by the
Government under the authority of the War
.Measures Act and giving the Custodian the
’power to sell the property is constitutional
or not. Under the peculiar system of justice
which has evolved in British countries, there
is no legal guarantee of democratic rights,
other than their constitutionality.
THE CONFUSED LEGION
The peculiar confusion in thinking
which turns up so often in any matter re
lating to persons of Japanese origin in
Canada is perhaps no
better
illustrated
than in the record of_the recent, provincial
convention of the Canadian Legion. A resolution receiving unanimous ap
proval asked that no German be allowed
to immigrate to Canada at all “until such
time as the German peoples present a dif
ferent system of thought, which will guar
antee the peace of the world.”
But the same convention, in odd con
trast, sustained a resolution wholly in ac
cord with just that system of thought which
does not guarantee the peace of the world.
The Legion asked for the deportation of all
persons of Japanese origin in the Domi
nion, without regard to individual rights or
beliefs, citizenship or non-citizenship, dem
ocratic or fascist procedure.
A protest that the resolution was com
parable in its intolerance with Nazlism re
ceived the support, of only a minority of
the war veterans. Most of the delegates, it
would appear, saw no reason why pots
should not call kettles black.
We wonder, in passing reflection, what
course they—and Vancouver’s Mayor Cor
nett and Pensions Minister Mackenzie—
would recommend for the forty-odd sur
viving Canadian veterans of World War I
who still wear the badge of the Cana
dian Legion, B.E.S.L., No. 9 Japanese
branch. We wonder what answer they have
to the letters written the Editor of Life
Magazine two weeks ago and reprinted here
below‘in these columns.
Nisei in the Army
WINNIPEG FREE PRESS
There is a battalion of Japanese Americans fight
ing with great courage and steadfastness in the Fifth
Army in Italy, according to an Associated Press
correspondent. Half the officers of the battalion are
Japanese and the other ranks are endrely Japanese,
mostly from the Hawaiian Islands. They have been in
Italy since last September, fighting bravely at the Volturno River and before Cassino, and lately in the
Anzio beach-head.
Fof valiant service, this battalion has been award
ed three Distinguished Service 'Crosses, 21 Bronze
Stars. 36 Silver Stars, and 900 Purple Hearts (many
of which were awarded posthumously).
Generals have commended their courage and fight
ing qualities, according to the correspondent, who says
that ‘“'they have gone ‘through the infantryman’s hell’
and come through unshaken.” They must have brought
strong reinforcements, for they have had 900
casualties.
The record of this unit in the United States army
is featured in the New Canadian, published by
Japanese Canadians at Kaslo, B. C., where some 13,000
Japanese, who were moved away from the coast, are
now living under surveillance. The report is published,
no doubt, with the suggestion that loyal Japanese
Canadians would have served with the same distinc
tion if they had been given a chance.
That this is true need not be questioned, for there
are many good Canadian citizens among the Japanese
who were born in this country or have been natural
ized. But there are not nearly so many Japanese in
Canada as in the United States and it would have "been
impossible to form a battalion, with reinforcements.
This fact, and the difficulty of enlisting them in any
other way, may have been the reason whv they were
not taken in the Canadian forces.
If they were in
cluded in other units, suspicions and opposition might
have caused trouble.
In the United States this was avoided by forming
a separate unit. The 100th Battalion must now nave
won the respect of the other units of the 34th Division,
for in actual warfare there is always the highest
regard for men who show the stamina and courage
of real fighters.
What We’re Fighting For
In its May 1 issue. LIFE Magazine reported on
what has become one of the most celebrated instances
of prejudice in the United States Government policy
of relocating west coast evacuees in self-sustaining
employment in new homes. A group of farm workers
were placed on a farm at Great Meadows. New Jersey,
but so hostile were neighboring farmers that the group
were finally forced to leave. LIFE’s report on the
incident provoked the following letters from its readers:
“I have spent three years in the Army learning
to fight Naziism only to get stabbed in the back in
my own backyard by a bunch a rabble rousers in Great
Meadows, N. J.—so have 10 million other servicemen
and women who are fighting for .democracy.

By K. O.
Kaichi came to Toronto on his
‘29 Essex and told me that I was
riding back with him to London,
120 miles away.
Kaichi, George, and I started
along the Queen Elizabeth high
way leaving Toronto by way of
Sunnyside. All the ' cars, that came
after passed us, but we were in
no mood for racing.
We passed thru Paris, Woodstock, Ingersoll, by-passed Brant
ford. On the way we stopped for
gas, once for human reasons.
Kaichi got impatient when we
neared London. The car let out a
roar and began burning up the
road at 40 miles an hour.
We entered London, paraded
down its main street (Dundas),
and turned into Talbot Street.
Four* blocks from home the car
gasped and gave up its ghost.
“Holy cow,” said Kaichi.
George and I got out and
pushed.
Kaichi lives with his sister Lyn
in a 2-room flat on 464 Talbot
street. Harmonica-playing Roy has
another room and shares his meals
with Kaichi and Lyn. Lyn helps
to prepare the lunches for Kaichi
and Roy.
Kaichi works in a garage, Lyn
houseworks, and Roy is a shipper
at the steel foundry.
Other Niseis are employed at
the foundry, and at Hines tannery.
London Niseis are lonesome, and
suffer from girl shortage.
• I went to see the Niseis who
were playing basketball against
the hakujins. There were only half
a dozen spectators in this modern
school gymnasium. There was the
familiar smell of sweat.
Art and Tam came over at half
time. We shook hands and greeted
each other in the way friends do,
but their minds were on the game.
That is the way it should be, I
thought.
Tam is an M.A. Art has one
year at the U.B.C. before the evac
uation. Both are working at the
steel foundry.
“Thinking of going back to
school?” I asked Art. He shook
his head.
“Wish you could go back?” I
asked again. Art’s face lighted up
for a moment in a wistful smile as
he said “I sure do”
The whistle blew and they hur
ried back to the game.
The Japanese workers at Hines
tannery in London sleep in a sort
of bunkhouse, and eat together at
the mess table a little before
11 pl m.
Don Sugiman, Jerry Nozuye, in
dressing gowns, and Fred Nishi
zaki in a plaid shirt and black
pants came out to see us.
I felt homesick for old times
when I saw their familiar faces.
What a lot had happened’and how
(John Rowe in the Lemon Creek
High School Annual)
Coming down to Lemon Creek
every week has been a pleasure.
Unlike another of your teachers,
I don’t turn green when the bus
begins to swing out and around;
furthermore, thoughts of Math
classes at the end of the trail leave
me unruffled and serene—so the
enjoyment of meeting people in
and out of school is strictly on the
credit side.
A pity' we couldn’t all be meet
ing new friends -weekly. I don’t
mean just travelling to New Den
ver (big thrill, eh?) or even Kaslo,
but visiting unpronouncable towns
in strange countries. Drop in on
Villavicencio
or
Krasnovodsk,
what ? Then we would quickly
learn a lesson that is only slowly
absorbed
from
school
studies,
namely, that people everywhere
are about the same as we, with
the same feelings and wants. In
other words, each one of us is a
a typical sample of humanity!
And that’s handy, too.
These
days when we “donu get around
much anymore” we can learn a lot
about other people by studying
ourselves (and our friends when
they aren’t on the alert). For in
stance, if we find greed, prejudice
and
bitterness
against
other*
groups, we get an insight into the
minds of the' majority of the wor
ld’s people today, a glimpse of the
causes of wars with their attend
ant relocation camps, plus other
much more disagreeable things.
Armed with some understanding
of these troubles, we can take a
cut at their roots.
Did you know that those friends
of Tarzan, the anthropoid apes,
have almost exactly the same str
ucture as man,—bone for bone—
muscle for muscle—and that they
show a great deal of real intelli
gence ? Then “what have we got
that animals haven't got,” how can
we distinguish man from intelli
gent apes? This way: Man is the
only being who can make up his
mind to be kind and neighborly to
all come -what may, and stick to
it! It’s an easy slide down to the
animal stage—live-for-the-mcment
and me-for-myself-stuff—but liv
ing on the animal level doesn’t
seem to do much for human prob
lems.
Only when we begin acting hu
man will we deserve the scientific
title “Homo sapiens”—“man the

translated “Wise guy”.)
strange that we should meet now
—for only a moment.
“If you ever go to Sandon tell
dad I’m doing alright,” said Don.
“Sure,” I said.
They were getting along O.K.
though they were not too enthu
siastic.
I wished them luck and left.
They had to get up early next
morning. ^Sometimes a guy hates
like hell to say good-bye, but what
else is there to do ?
CROSS
TALK
Let’s talk about your health. Of
the many topics of the day it’s the
least discussed. Good health is one
of the best assets a Nisei can and
does have but often it is just
taken for granted. Niseis may look
to a brighter social, political and
economic post war future, but
without good health they will be
only able to enjoy just a part of
it.
Although a lot of people hate to
admit it, there’s a definite relation
ship between man’s mental ability
and his physical condition.
How many Niseis are eating
properly?
Going
East
alone
created many problems for the
Nisei and one of them is eating
properly.
Generally
speaking,
overeating or unwise eating is fol
lowed by a lazy feeling and a de
sire to sleep. During this period
the mind is less active. If the food
proves indigestible, a headache
may develop, in a few hours along
with a gloomy, nagging or disgusted-with-life feeling. If the
food does not contain the proper
amount of vitamins, a much more
serious trouble will be the out
come. A man cannot do his best
work when feeling this way.
Ever hear of “blur” Mondays?
They are no myths. They are quite
real and are caused by unwise eat
ing and too little mental and phy
sical exercise over the week-end—
combined with troubled sleep or
too little sleep. Because it takes
several days for the human system
to- get back to normal, often alter
such a week-end, it might be V. ennesday or later before you are
mentally alert again.
Then you
■will find it easy to concentrate;
work is a pleasure and the nay
doesn’t drag as it did on Monday
and Tuesday. Life really becomes
worthwhile and you say to your
self: “Gee but I wish it were like
this every day.”
But every day can be like tnis
if you take proper care or your
self; if you follow the simple rules
of health: if you take a brisk wau^
each day in the open air; ana
above all if you get a good sound,
sleep and enough of it each nigm.
Sleep is ail-important.

Giye you health the attention q
deserves and you will be rewarded
many times by increased napum^3

in strange countries. Drop in on
Villavicencio
or
Krasnovodsk,
what ? Then we would quickly
learn a lesson that is only slowly
absorbed
from
school
studies,
namely, that people everywhere
are about the same as we, with
the same feelings and wants. In
other words, each one of us is a
a typical sample of humanity!
And that’s handy, too.
These
days when we “donu get around
much anymore” we can learn a lot
about other people by studying
ourselves (and our friends when
they aren’t on the alert). For in
stance, if we find greed, prejudice
and
bitterness
against
other*
groups, we get an insight into the
minds of the' majority of the wor
ld’s people today, a glimpse of the
causes of wars with their attend
ant relocation camps, plus other
much more disagreeable things.
Armed with some understanding
of these troubles, we can take a
cut at their roots.
Did you know that those friends
of Tarzan, the anthropoid apes,
have almost exactly the same str
ucture as man,—bone for bone—
muscle for muscle—and that they
show a great deal of real intelli
gence ? Then “what have we got
that animals haven't got,” how can
we distinguish man from intelli
gent apes? This way: Man is the
only being who can make up his
mind to be kind and neighborly to
all come -what may, and stick to
it! It’s an easy slide down to the
animal stage—live-for-the-mcment
and me-for-myself-stuff—but liv
ing on the animal level doesn’t
seem to do much for human prob
lems.
Only when we begin acting hu
man will we deserve the scientific
title “Homo sapiens”—“man the
wise”
(sometimes
erroneously
translated “Wise guy”.)
strange that we should meet now
—for only a moment.
“If you ever go to Sandon tell
dad I’m doing alright,” said Don.
“Sure,” I said.
They were getting along O.K.
though they were not too enthu
siastic.
I wished them luck and left.
They had to get up early next
morning. ^Sometimes a guy hates
like hell to say good-bye, but what
else is there to do ?
CROSS
TALK
Let’s talk about your health. Of
the many topics of the day it’s the
least discussed. Good health is one
of the best assets a Nisei can and
does have but often it is just
taken for granted. Niseis may look
to a brighter social, political and
economic post war future, but
without good health they will be
only able to enjoy just a part of
it.
Although a lot of people hate to
admit it, there’s a definite relation
ship between man’s mental ability
and his physical condition.
How many Niseis are eating
properly?
Going
East
alone
created many problems for the
Nisei and one of them is eating
properly.
Generally
speaking,
overeating or unwise eating is fol
lowed by a lazy feeling and a de
sire to sleep. During this period
the mind is less active. If the food
proves indigestible, a headache
may develop, in a few hours along
with a gloomy, nagging or disgusted-with-life feeling. If the
food does not contain the proper
amount of vitamins, a much more
serious trouble will be the out
come. A man cannot do his best
work when feeling this way.
Ever hear of “blur” Mondays?
They are no myths. They are quite
real and are caused by unwise eat
ing and too little mental and phy
sical exercise over the week-end—
combined with troubled sleep or
too little sleep. Because it takes
several days for the human system
to- get back to normal, often alter
such a week-end, it might be V. ennesday or later before you are
mentally alert again.
Then you
■will find it easy to concentrate;
work is a pleasure and the nay
doesn’t drag as it did on Monday
and Tuesday. Life really becomes
worthwhile and you say to your
self: “Gee but I wish it were like
this every day.”
But every day can be like tnis
if you take proper care or your
self; if you follow the simple rules
of health: if you take a brisk wau^
each day in the open air; ana
above all if you get a good sound,
sleep and enough of it each nigm.
Sleep is ail-important.
_
..
Giye you health the attention q
deserves and you will be rewarded
many times by increased napum^3
and increased success in your me-

Only British Columbia still
blindly fears and hates Canada’s
Jans.” So wrote Bob Elson, editor
of'the “Canada at .War” section of
“Time” in last week’s issue.
Elson, whose acquaintance with
the so-called “Japanese Problem”
dates back to newspaperwork with
The Vancouver .Province, notes in
typical “Time” style the statement
of Hon. Humphrey Mitchell in Par
liament recently.
British Columbia’s hostility is
an interesting emotional complex
which is somewhat difficult to un
derstand. Racial prejudice alone
does not seem to be an adequate
explanation and it is evident that
there must be some other factors
behind the “blind fear and hate.”
An important contribution to the
understanding of this emotional
complex is one of the most inter
esting features contained in the
recent pamphlet by Dr. Norman
Black and issued under the aus
pices of the Christian Social Coun

commonest among whites who had
little or no personal contract with
individual Japanese,’' feels Dr.
Black. “Students of sociology will
not be surprised when told that
where active hostility exists, it is
based on vague but real economic
fears and perplexities that cla
mour for scapegoats.”
UNPOPULARITY IN LABOR
A clue to the popular dislike
among many circles of the Japa
nese is noted by- Dr. Black in the
fact that Japanese were first wel
comed into British Columbia as a
source of cheap labor. During the
more prosperous times, the Occi
dental worker w’as not affected by
the Oriental labor but “during the
years of the depression, he became
painfully7 conscious that there were
not jobs enough to go around, and
in the Oriental worker he saw a
competitor who he vaguely7 felt
had an unfair advantage.”
It is understandable therefore,
that the rising animosity’ reached
still higher planes when accusa
tions that Japanese were usurping
the fisheries and other major in
dustries of British Columbia. But,
according to Professor Carrothers’
analysis of relevant official data
for the ten year period, 1922-33,
a decrease of over 50 per cent of
the Japanese employed in fishing,
logging, sawmills and other industiies is showm. This mass expul
sion resulted in the Japanese shift
ing to agricultural and urban oc
cupations, particularly to those in
w’hich the family’ could be a work-
ing unit. This wholesale transter
contributed to abnormal working
conditions, threatening the stand
ard of living of the Occidental.
Inadequate legislation, governing
working conditions drove many ol
the Occidental competitors out of
business which in turn gave rise
to further animosity.
BIRTHRATE NOT SO HIGH
The popular misconception that
the birthrate of the Japanese was
exceedingly7 high was chiefly due
to the people jumping at conclu
sions after coming across large
Japanese families. Quick to take
up the advantage, agitators took
up the cry and used the ballyhoo
of high birthrate to feed the fear.
But once again cold facts disprove
this theory. In a survey made by’
Young, Reid and Carrothers, _ the
average size of the Japanese fam
ily in the Fraser Valley’ was 4.11.
in the Okanagan Valley, 3.97 and
in Vancouver 2.47. The birthrate
was quite high a few years after
the first contingents of Japanese
immigrants arrived in this coun
try, but a study7 of age tables
makes, the reason obvious: the
average age of the woman immi
grant was 2o.4 years and that of
her husband 31.S years.
“If the birthrate for Occidental
Canadians of the same age group
were segregated, it also would be
found to be much higher than that
of the Canadian people as a w'hole.
Moreover, since those early days,
the records show’ a continuously7
declining Japanese birthrate and a

The myth that anything that
does or can happen in the "cortex”
of an Oriental differs from that
of the Occidental is crushed by
Dr. Black.
“The important fact is that char, ideals, habits, attiacter,

the character of the influences

during’ one’s schooldays. The thor

any particular Japanese resident
w’ill be proportionate to the inti

lescents, educated wholly7 in Cana
dian schools and mingling freely
with Canadian associates will grow’
up with anything but a Canadian
outlook upon life and this land of
their birth, is a preposterous libel
on the teachers of this country.
Drawing on his past social con
tacts with the Japanese Dr. Black
declares:

INTERMARRIAGE QUESTION
“A more serious difficulty’ is
raised by many people who are
concerned as to the possibility’ or

tures. They’ assert that no matter

of'the “Canada at .War” section of
“Time” in last week’s issue.
Elson, whose acquaintance with
the so-called “Japanese Problem”
dates back to newspaperwork with
The Vancouver .Province, notes in
typical “Time” style the statement
of Hon. Humphrey Mitchell in Par
liament recently.
British Columbia’s hostility is
an interesting emotional complex
which is somewhat difficult to un
derstand. Racial prejudice alone
does not seem to be an adequate
explanation and it is evident that
there must be some other factors
behind the “blind fear and hate.”
An important contribution to the
understanding of this emotional
complex is one of the most inter
esting features contained in the
recent pamphlet by Dr. Norman
Black and issued under the aus
pices of the Christian Social Coun
cil of Canada. He attributes the
unpopularity of the Japanese in
British Columbia to these factors:
1. Economic (and what the oc
cidental considers unfair) competi
tion.
2. Misunderstanding about the
high birthrate of the Japanese.
3. The myth that the Oriental
brain functions differ from’ that of
the Occidental.
4. Racial purists who oppose fu
ture intermarriages between the
two races.
