THE NEW CANADIAN
.August l-? 1944.
"Discrimination Was Never the Intention’
By K. O.
This letter is especially for all
those friends of mine, to whom I
haven’t written as I should have.
I could say I was busy and be
truthful but there is still that aw
ful guilty feeling of having neg
lected those I used to see or phone
regularly back in the days of the
past. It isn’t that I’ve , forgotten
them. Oh no! It’s just that I would
need an extra 16 hours daily to
do everything properly.
Harry and Mary’s twins have
been on my mind a long time, but
I haven’t , sent even a card of good
wishes or asked for their christen
ed names, or asked after their
health and cute doings. The stork
has been busy elsewhere, too, and
there are baby' brothers and sisters
to little children I haven’t seen for
over two years. How are they all?
Have they grown beyond recogni
tion ? Are they shooting up like
mushrooms after rain? I just read
that another Mary has had a dau
ghter, a palymate for big brother
Dale . . • but Dale was such a
little fellow when I saw' him last.
LONG FOR OLD DAYS
How does one keep up the
threads of a past life? They be
come tangled often . . . how often!
... I make half-hearted attempts
to inquire, get paper and pen to
write, then give up because of the
pressure of things to do right at
my elbow. I think with real long
ing for the old.days when we gos
siped over a cup of tea, or picked
up the phone casually for some
small talk. I haven’t seen a phone
since January, a year and a half
as°There are newly-weds in Tashme
that I wish were right here where
I could see them once in a while.
There are former Red Cross fel
low-workers now scattered here
and there from Bay Farm to the
eastern cities. There are cronies
now tucked away in New Denver,
across the provinces to Ste. Anne
de Bellevue and I wish we could
exchange quips and sarcasms to
gether again. There are very good
friends in Morris of whom I read
too infrequently in the New Cana
dian. There’s an aunt and an uncle
in Vernon that I have not seen since
May 1942. So many people that
once were close by are now strung
out on a transcontinental map, all
joined to myself, as the hub, by
that invisible thread of friendship
and intimacy. And each of these
people is also a hub from which
stretches out those firm but intan
gible bonds of the spirit.
I ask forgiveness of all these
folks.
Chance brought me to Toronto,
though I w*as destined for Kaslo
.... or should I reverse this?
Toronto isn’t Vancouver, out it is
a city, and since I have pavement
dust, smoke, and noise in my
blood, it is bearable m spite of the
scenery (rhe lack of it, I should
say). However, I really haven’t
seen the town in spite of being in
the first lot of evacuees to this
city. While the later-comers have
jaunted to the Niagara Fails and
hopped the train from one town to
another towards Windsor, and
even gone back to B. C. for visits,
I’ve stayed here in my ruE, hearing
in imagination again the clattering
wheels of the train, peeing the
swift panorama of mountains,
prairies and lakes, the journey
across two thousand miles thatended at the Union Station.
SPOTLIGHTED NISEIS
No doubt you’ve waited eagerly
for the New Canadian each week
in hopes of seeing a bit of news
that touched your life, and family.
I do. Do you see, as I do, that the
various sections of this paper pre
sent a composite picture, of the
younger New Canadians? I see
new leaders' breaking from their
chrysalis to try out their wings on
ghost town school life. They are
very young yet, and older’ eyes like
mine watch and wait for them to
grow. I listen to the new singer of
songs, and hope that someday I
shall hold in my hands a volume
entitled ‘Songs of the Beet Far
mer’ by M. A. Y. These songs will
breathe a richness of sunshine and
steadfastness . . ’. like psalms. I
watch and wait for the younger
generation in trembling and earn
est hope that they may be spared
the wholesale upheaval their eld
ers endured: that they may flower
in the best Canadian tradition.
Another item from B. C. will
keep our closest attention:- next
year’s election platform on the dis
puted franchise for the spotlighted
Niseis. Seems as if it’s going to
be used as a lever for or against
socialism, a lever alone, so far as
the old parties are concerned. The
principles . won’t bother the con
sciences of the antis, for have they
not got away with a whole lot
since Pearl Harbor that wouldn t
be tolerated under the Constitution
of the U. S. that protects our
American cousins ? And the new
political party is going to stake its
growing strength and the con
science of the people for a prin
ciple that we’ve heard much of, but
seldom seen the political practice
thereof. Can you visualize the for
ce’s that will battle on the cam
paign stands ? On the left . .. .
Champions of Democracy! On the
right.... Protagonists of Racism!
What a match, my friends! What
a match! It’s too big for bets. We
can only clench our fingers and
watch. The outcome touches not
only the Nisei but also the whole
pattern of Canadian life.
fl«Ii« Si® * *s
(From the Pacific Citizen)
The advantages in doing your
own sewing are so many and &o
obvious that we don’t have to re
count them here. But these days
there’s an added reason .in learn
ing to make your own clothes.
Prices on clothes have gone up
almost alarmingly, and the quality
is correspondingly7 low. Materials
are poor in quality, handwork is
practically non-existent, and de
tails—like'.skimpy seams and poor
ly-sewn hems—indicate that the
manufacturing industry is turning
out clothes with little regard tor
workmanship, style or wearability.
Even if you can’t sew at all, this
is a good time to start. Summer
clothes, using crisp cottons, are
easy to make and have lots of das i
—important points when y ou re
overcoming your first dressma*ng
hurdle. Time was when one s firs,
sewing effort had to be a dea y
dull apron, or some ^othei sue i
useful, but inspiring effort.
Today, for your first sewing try,
to get a simnle pinafore or dirndle
skirt pattern. Get some tirigm
material with enough body so that
you won’t be stymied by vor'm.with difficult cloth. Best is a ensp
cotton like Engham or percale. Or
you might try a checked ta^eta o.
any firm rayon weave.
Stav away from plaids ior Fy'A
maiden effort, for this requirespecial care in cutting.
Some of the pattern houses
mark beginner’s patterns so that
you can select something simple.
Buy7 all your materials at one
time—cloth, pattern, thread, but
tons, seam binding, a zipper, and
whatever else is necessary7.
Before you cut your material,
read your ’direction through twice,
then follow very7 carefully, step by
step. Don’t try taking any short
cuts on your own.
The very first thing to do is to
try the paper pattern on yourself.
'Pin pattern pieces together at
sides and shoulder, then try it on.
This is the time to make adjustments for sleeve length, skirt len
gth and waistline.
One difficulty Nisei gals run into
quite often is a sagging waistline
at the front. This comes from hav
ing a fiat-chested figure. Adjust
the pattern for this by taking^ a
small pleat straight across the
front blouse top at the line of the
armhole notches.
Now lay pattern out carefully
and cut. Use plenty of pins to la.'
vour pattern down.
Many gals, instead of cutting
out notches, cut little notches go
ing out from, not in to the seam.
This is a good idea, especially Jr
vour material is apt to fray easily.
Be especially careful about max
ing notches, perforations and all
other pattern marks.
Baste garment together care-
The teachers came and disturbed
the peace and quiet that was New
Denver, spiking the atmosphere
with a little semblance of life.
Once again I see teachers every
where, stockingless, hatless, gaily
dressed, and chattering.
Once again I see them lining up
for mess, with their cups and
spoons and plates, hanging up
their washings,
straddling
the
highway six-wide, sketching trees,
till curfew comes and shuts them
in at 10 (11 p.m. on weekends.)
I asked a Tashme-ite how she
liked New Denver.
“The scenery is nice but I
still prefer Tashme."
“Why?”
“It’s my home town,” she said.
That’s very true, I thought and
I wouldn’t blame a citizen of the
lower regions# if he felt the same
way about his home.
I suppose some of them don’t
mind teaching and others do, but
I found very few' enthusiastic.
“Do you like teaching?” I asked
one teacher.
“I hate it,” she said and made
a face.
“Then why do you teach?”
“Because there’s nothing else to
do in a ghost town.”
“Ever think of going East?”
“My parents won’t let me.”
It seems to me that the choice
for most is to stay and teach or
go east and housework; and that
neither choice has such a tremen
dous edge over the other.
OUR EASTERN FRIENDS
Since Rev. Shimizu returned
from the East, he comes to New
Denver every other Sunday to take
charge of the services.
On his. first visit to New Denver,
he showed us the moving pictures
he took of the Japanese who had
gone to Montreal, Toronto, Hamil
ton, Guelph, Windsor, etc. It was
nice to see their smiling faces and
their shiny new homes. But I mis
sed seeing some of the lovely faces
I saw out there, and the Nisei
hangout near McCaul Street.
I went to the Sunday Evening
Service anti found the church jam
med with teachers.
Kate Oyama sang a solo, and
Rev. Shimizu preached to us about
the Lord’s Prayer on the theme
“For ’your' Father knoweth, For
our Father knows and understands
our difficulties—”
The service over, the organ be
gan to play’ the first chorus of
“Abide with me” It was cut short
because movies of the Relocees
were to be shown. I was disap
pointed; I was all set to go in the
groove with my tenor.
After the service my friends and
I stepped out into a swell summer
evening. The skies were overcast
in many shades of grey. And
. around us were the mountains—
mountains with stray clouds cling
ing to their sides like bits of cot
ton batting.
It made me think of a girl who
said:
“I’m sick and tired of looking
at the damn mountains.”

SEWING
When you know everything is
just right with your dress or pina
fore or whatever it is you’re mak
ing, you can start sewing.
Perhaps the most important
point in sewing is this: remember
to press every seam and dart as
soon as you have stitched it. This
gives a professional finish to your
clothes.
Remember, too, to lock your
seams take four stitches, release
foot, go back to beginning and
sew down. At end of seam, go
back four stitches and restitch.
Do have buttonholes finished at
a shop, if you possibly can. The
time saved is worth more than the
small cost.
Do take advantage of the many
professional finishing touches you
can buy at the department stores.
Buy ruffling, embroidered* tape,
and edgings by the yard.
The Prime Minister on the Franchise
(An excerpt from Mr. King’s
speech in the Commons which
was reported in Hansard. July
17. 194 1.)
s. *
*
Under clause 5 the right of all
Japanese, even those not previous
ly resident in British Columbia,
would have been taken away, be
cause that right is denied to Japa
nese resident in British Columbia.
What would that mean ? It would
mean that the government was
recognizing the franchise as exist
ing in one particular province as
being the one which should deter
mine the franchise lor the whole
dominion. That is something that
would not be entertained for a
moment by this house once, the im
plication is apparent. Hon. mem
bers will ask, why was that not
foreseen? The answer is very sim
ple. The purpose of the bill as it
went to the senate was to pre
vent Japanese who would not
have had the right to vote had
they remained in British Columbia
from having that right in different
parts of Canada simply because
they had moved or had been mov
ed from that province for reasons
connected with the war. Let me
make the. position clear accbrding
to the facts. So far as the Japan
ese were concerned they had no
right to exercise the franchise in
British Columbia. Their citizenship
was limited in that province; and
for as long as I can remember
where a province has had a fran
chise that restricted fox' racial rea
sons the right of certain classes
to vote hi that province the domi
nion has with respect to federal
elections taken cognizance of that
fact as regards that province. But
. it has never held that what any
province might do in the matter
of the franchise in its own prov
ince should be made to govern
the franchise as it would be exer
cised m other provinces of Canada.
What happened after Pearl Har
bor? For purposes of security to
the nation, particularly for pur
poses of security to British Colum
bia, this government arranged the
transfer from British Columbia of
large numbers of Japanese. It
transferred these Japanese to dif
ferent province. It did that, as I
have said, as a measure of secur
ity. It was never intended by
the government of Canada at the
time that step was taken that
the Japanese who were being
thus transferred would be given
a right in a general election
which
they
would
not
have
had had they remained in British
Columbia, or would give them a.
right which the Japanese remain
ing- in British Columbia would not
have in this election. The purpose
of the bill was to remove any pos
sibility favoring that large num
ber, but what was the effect of it ’?
There was an effect which was not
apparent to anyone at the time, or
it would have been pointed out at
once. It had the effect of taking
away from the Japanese who were
in provinces other than British
Columbia a right which they would
have had to vote as citizens of
Canada in those provinces, and as
such was in the nature of racial
discrimination. By this amendment
we are seeking to make it clear
that such was never the intention
of the government. It was never
the intention to exercise racial
discrimination. The intention was
simply to prevent certain Japanese
from being favoured in the matter
of the exercise of their franchise
in a manner which they would not
have been but for the war. What
are the feats? Take the numbers
that are concerned.' The figures
that I have are approximate, but
prior to Pearl Harbor the 1941
census gives the number of Japan
ese who were outside of British
Columbia as a thousand. Of that
thousand less than 650 were of
those not naturalized; consequent
ly the voting strength of the en
tire Japanese people outside Bri
tish Columbia was negligible, In
addition
they
were
scattered
throughout the dominion and for
that reason their vote, if exercised,
would not have been likely to
affect one way or the other the re
sult ‘h any constituency.
“Not an Unmixed Blessing”
Japanese Canadians in Alberta
(The following is an excerpt
from an article “Japanese Child
ren—in (}ur Schools” written by
Airs. C. B. Andrews which ap
pears in the Alberta ’teachers
Association Magazine for the
month of July.)
*
*
*
The introduction of Japanese to
Southern' Alberta has not been an
unmixed
blessing.
Any
racial
group-, that is allowed to congre
gate in large numbers in a com
munity creates a problem. The
Japanese are no exception, al
though the people here accepted,
them without any prejudice on
their arrival. The beet workers in
the area before the war were lar
gely single men, who resided on
the’ farm only during the beet
growing season. Their houses were
built for summei' occupancy. The
influx of Japanese caused farmers
to winterize their houses and in
crease the size to accommodate the
necessary workers, their children,
and often the parents who were
past the age of gainful employ
ment. This building has caused
hard feelings among employers
when the workers left, leaving
them with a larger house than
necessary for usual labor needs,
and no’ Japanese replacements
available.
In the schools the Japanese are
average students, of about the age
and grade or attainment as other
races. Some show exceptional abi
lities in certain subjects; some are
slower than the average Canadian
student of the same age. Many
Japanese are handicapped in their
understanding of English, by the
constant use of Japanese at home.
As a rule they co-operate very
well, in school and student activi
ties. If they do not buy Victory
Bonds and War Saving Certificates
and Stamps with the same enthu
siasm as Canadian children, there
may be some extenuating circum
stances to account for their reluc
tance. On my visits to the schools
in the Division, I find Japanese
students on ball teams, in Cadet
Corps, even acting as N.C.O.’s in
the corps. On the playgrounds, as
in the classroom, there is no dif
ference and the children mingle
and play with others of their age
in harmony and enjoyment.
What is to be the future of the
Japanese resident in Alberta?
They came here under agreement
to return to'British Columbia after
the war, but if this is revoked the
reception of this decision wall be
largely settled by the Japanese
themselves.
They came under a
war-time emergency, to fill a need.
There was little or no anti-Japan
ese feeling here when they ar
rived. If any develops or has. deve
loped it is on account of their act
ions, or lack of co-operation in ac
cepting the restrictions and incon
veniences of war-time, and the
new7 environment they find in Al
berta. They are a people who want
to live near friends and relations,
our prairie distances are very long
to dwellers of the city or the
mountain valley. If they will be
content to settle sparsely in our
communities, accepting their res
ponsibilities, there should be little
opposition to accepting them in all
parts of the Dominion.
They are a law abiding race,
very ambitious to better themselves and educate their children. The
young people are fond of sports
such as baseball, forming clubs for
get-to-gethers. Some small per
centage are affiliated with the
Christian Churches, but the maj
ority are buddhists, supporting two
priests of that faith, and have es
tablished Buddhist Churches at
Coaldale and Picture Butte/ be
sides the pre-war Buddhist Church,
at Raymond.

though I w*as destined for Kaslo
.... or should I reverse this?
Toronto isn’t Vancouver, out it is
a city, and since I have pavement
dust, smoke, and noise in my
blood, it is bearable m spite of the
scenery (rhe lack of it, I should
say). However, I really haven’t
seen the town in spite of being in
the first lot of evacuees to this
city. While the later-comers have
jaunted to the Niagara Fails and
hopped the train from one town to
another towards Windsor, and
even gone back to B. C. for visits,
I’ve stayed here in my ruE, hearing
in imagination again the clattering
wheels of the train, peeing the
swift panorama of mountains,
prairies and lakes, the journey
across two thousand miles thatended at the Union Station.
SPOTLIGHTED NISEIS
No doubt you’ve waited eagerly
for the New Canadian each week
in hopes of seeing a bit of news
that touched your life, and family.
I do. Do you see, as I do, that the
various sections of this paper pre
sent a composite picture, of the
younger New Canadians? I see
new leaders' breaking from their
chrysalis to try out their wings on
ghost town school life. They are
very young yet, and older’ eyes like
mine watch and wait for them to
grow. I listen to the new singer of
songs, and hope that someday I
shall hold in my hands a volume
entitled ‘Songs of the Beet Far
mer’ by M. A. Y. These songs will
breathe a richness of sunshine and
steadfastness . . ’. like psalms. I
watch and wait for the younger
generation in trembling and earn
est hope that they may be spared
the wholesale upheaval their eld
ers endured: that they may flower
in the best Canadian tradition.
Another item from B. C. will
keep our closest attention:- next
year’s election platform on the dis
puted franchise for the spotlighted
Niseis. Seems as if it’s going to
be used as a lever for or against
socialism, a lever alone, so far as
the old parties are concerned. The
principles . won’t bother the con
sciences of the antis, for have they
not got away with a whole lot
since Pearl Harbor that wouldn t
be tolerated under the Constitution
of the U. S. that protects our
American cousins ? And the new
political party is going to stake its
growing strength and the con
science of the people for a prin
ciple that we’ve heard much of, but
seldom seen the political practice
thereof. Can you visualize the for
ce’s that will battle on the cam
paign stands ? On the left . .. .
Champions of Democracy! On the
right.... Protagonists of Racism!
What a match, my friends! What
a match! It’s too big for bets. We
can only clench our fingers and
watch. The outcome touches not
only the Nisei but also the whole
pattern of Canadian life.
fl«Ii« Si® * *s
(From the Pacific Citizen)
The advantages in doing your
own sewing are so many and &o
obvious that we don’t have to re
count them here. But these days
there’s an added reason .in learn
ing to make your own clothes.
Prices on clothes have gone up
almost alarmingly, and the quality
is correspondingly7 low. Materials
are poor in quality, handwork is
practically non-existent, and de
tails—like'.skimpy seams and poor
ly-sewn hems—indicate that the
manufacturing industry is turning
out clothes with little regard tor
workmanship, style or wearability.
Even if you can’t sew at all, this
is a good time to start. Summer
clothes, using crisp cottons, are
easy to make and have lots of das i
—important points when y ou re
overcoming your first dressma*ng
hurdle. Time was when one s firs,
sewing effort had to be a dea y
dull apron, or some ^othei sue i
useful, but inspiring effort.
Today, for your first sewing try,
to get a simnle pinafore or dirndle
skirt pattern. Get some tirigm
material with enough body so that
you won’t be stymied by vor'm.with difficult cloth. Best is a ensp
cotton like Engham or percale. Or
you might try a checked ta^eta o.
any firm rayon weave.
Stav away from plaids ior Fy'A
maiden effort, for this requirespecial care in cutting.
Some of the pattern houses
mark beginner’s patterns so that
you can select something simple.
Buy7 all your materials at one
time—cloth, pattern, thread, but
tons, seam binding, a zipper, and
whatever else is necessary7.
Before you cut your material,
read your ’direction through twice,
then follow very7 carefully, step by
step. Don’t try taking any short
cuts on your own.
The very first thing to do is to
try the paper pattern on yourself.
'Pin pattern pieces together at
sides and shoulder, then try it on.
This is the time to make adjustments for sleeve length, skirt len
gth and waistline.
One difficulty Nisei gals run into
quite often is a sagging waistline
at the front. This comes from hav
ing a fiat-chested figure. Adjust
the pattern for this by taking^ a
small pleat straight across the
front blouse top at the line of the
armhole notches.
Now lay pattern out carefully
and cut. Use plenty of pins to la.'
vour pattern down.
Many gals, instead of cutting
out notches, cut little notches go
ing out from, not in to the seam.
This is a good idea, especially Jr
vour material is apt to fray easily.
Be especially careful about max
ing notches, perforations and all
other pattern marks.

The teachers came and disturbed
the peace and quiet that was New
Denver, spiking the atmosphere
with a little semblance of life.
Once again I see teachers every
where, stockingless, hatless, gaily
dressed, and chattering.
Once again I see them lining up
for mess, with their cups and
spoons and plates, hanging up
their washings,
straddling
the
highway six-wide, sketching trees,
till curfew comes and shuts them
in at 10 (11 p.m. on weekends.)
I asked a Tashme-ite how she
liked New Denver.
“The scenery is nice but I
still prefer Tashme."
“Why?”
“It’s my home town,” she said.
That’s very true, I thought and
I wouldn’t blame a citizen of the
lower regions# if he felt the same
way about his home.
I suppose some of them don’t
mind teaching and others do, but
I found very few' enthusiastic.
“Do you like teaching?” I asked
one teacher.
“I hate it,” she said and made
a face.
“Then why do you teach?”
“Because there’s nothing else to
do in a ghost town.”
“Ever think of going East?”
“My parents won’t let me.”
It seems to me that the choice
for most is to stay and teach or
go east and housework; and that
neither choice has such a tremen
dous edge over the other.
OUR EASTERN FRIENDS
Since Rev. Shimizu returned
from the East, he comes to New
Denver every other Sunday to take
charge of the services.
On his. first visit to New Denver,
he showed us the moving pictures
he took of the Japanese who had
gone to Montreal, Toronto, Hamil
ton, Guelph, Windsor, etc. It was
nice to see their smiling faces and
their shiny new homes. But I mis
sed seeing some of the lovely faces
I saw out there, and the Nisei
hangout near McCaul Street.
I went to the Sunday Evening
Service anti found the church jam
med with teachers.
Kate Oyama sang a solo, and
Rev. Shimizu preached to us about
the Lord’s Prayer on the theme
“For ’your' Father knoweth, For
our Father knows and understands
our difficulties—”
The service over, the organ be
gan to play’ the first chorus of
“Abide with me” It was cut short
because movies of the Relocees
were to be shown. I was disap
pointed; I was all set to go in the
groove with my tenor.
After the service my friends and
I stepped out into a swell summer
evening. The skies were overcast
in many shades of grey. And
. around us were the mountains—
mountains with stray clouds cling
ing to their sides like bits of cot
ton batting.
It made me think of a girl who
said:
“I’m sick and tired of looking
at the damn mountains.”

SEWING
When you know everything is
just right with your dress or pina
fore or whatever it is you’re mak
ing, you can start sewing.
Perhaps the most important
point in sewing is this: remember
to press every seam and dart as
soon as you have stitched it. This
gives a professional finish to your
clothes.
Remember, too, to lock your
seams take four stitches, release
foot, go back to beginning and
sew down. At end of seam, go
back four stitches and restitch.
Do have buttonholes finished at
a shop, if you possibly can. The
time saved is worth more than the
small cost.
Do take advantage of the many
professional finishing touches you
can buy at the department stores.
Buy ruffling, embroidered* tape,
and edgings by the yard.
The Prime Minister on the Franchise
(An excerpt from Mr. King’s
speech in the Commons which
was reported in Hansard. July
17. 194 1.)
s. *
*
Under clause 5 the right of all
Japanese, even those not previous
ly resident in British Columbia,
would have been taken away, be
cause that right is denied to Japa
nese resident in British Columbia.
What would that mean ? It would
mean that the government was
recognizing the franchise as exist
ing in one particular province as
being the one which should deter
mine the franchise lor the whole
dominion. That is something that
would not be entertained for a
moment by this house once, the im
plication is apparent. Hon. mem
bers will ask, why was that not
foreseen? The answer is very sim
ple. The purpose of the bill as it
went to the senate was to pre
vent Japanese who would not
have had the right to vote had
they remained in British Columbia
from having that right in different
parts of Canada simply because
they had moved or had been mov
ed from that province for reasons
connected with the war. Let me
make the. position clear accbrding
to the facts. So far as the Japan
ese were concerned they had no
right to exercise the franchise in
British Columbia. Their citizenship
was limited in that province; and
for as long as I can remember
where a province has had a fran
chise that restricted fox' racial rea
sons the right of certain classes
to vote hi that province the domi
nion has with respect to federal
elections taken cognizance of that
fact as regards that province. But
. it has never held that what any
province might do in the matter
of the franchise in its own prov
ince should be made to govern
the franchise as it would be exer
cised m other provinces of Canada.
What happened after Pearl Har
bor? For purposes of security to
the nation, particularly for pur
poses of security to British Colum
bia, this government arranged the
transfer from British Columbia of
large numbers of Japanese. It
transferred these Japanese to dif
ferent province. It did that, as I
have said, as a measure of secur
ity. It was never intended by
the government of Canada at the
time that step was taken that
the Japanese who were being
thus transferred would be given
a right in a general election
which
they
would
not
have
had had they remained in British
Columbia, or would give them a.
right which the Japanese remain
ing- in British Columbia would not
have in this election. The purpose
of the bill was to remove any pos
sibility favoring that large num
ber, but what was the effect of it ’?
There was an effect which was not
apparent to anyone at the time, or
it would have been pointed out at
once. It had the effect of taking
away from the Japanese who were
in provinces other than British
Columbia a right which they would
have had to vote as citizens of
Canada in those provinces, and as
such was in the nature of racial
discrimination. By this amendment
we are seeking to make it clear
that such was never the intention
of the government. It was never
the intention to exercise racial
discrimination. The intention was
simply to prevent certain Japanese
from being favoured in the matter
of the exercise of their franchise
in a manner which they would not
have been but for the war. What
are the feats? Take the numbers
that are concerned.' The figures
that I have are approximate, but
prior to Pearl Harbor the 1941
census gives the number of Japan
ese who were outside of British
Columbia as a thousand. Of that
thousand less than 650 were of
those not naturalized; consequent
ly the voting strength of the en
tire Japanese people outside Bri
tish Columbia was negligible, In
addition
they
were
scattered
throughout the dominion and for
that reason their vote, if exercised,
would not have been likely to
affect one way or the other the re
sult ‘h any constituency.
“Not an Unmixed Blessing”
Japanese Canadians in Alberta
(The following is an excerpt
from an article “Japanese Child
ren—in (}ur Schools” written by
Airs. C. B. Andrews which ap
pears in the Alberta ’teachers
Association Magazine for the
month of July.)
*
*
*
The introduction of Japanese to
Southern' Alberta has not been an
unmixed
blessing.
Any
racial
group-, that is allowed to congre
gate in large numbers in a com
munity creates a problem. The
Japanese are no exception, al
though the people here accepted,
them without any prejudice on
their arrival. The beet workers in
the area before the war were lar
gely single men, who resided on
the’ farm only during the beet
growing season. Their houses were
built for summei' occupancy. The
influx of Japanese caused farmers
to winterize their houses and in
crease the size to accommodate the
necessary workers, their children,
and often the parents who were
past the age of gainful employ
ment. This building has caused
hard feelings among employers
when the workers left, leaving
them with a larger house than
necessary for usual labor needs,
and no’ Japanese replacements
available.
In the schools the Japanese are
average students, of about the age
and grade or attainment as other
races. Some show exceptional abi
lities in certain subjects; some are
slower than the average Canadian
student of the same age. Many
Japanese are handicapped in their
understanding of English, by the
constant use of Japanese at home.
As a rule they co-operate very
well, in school and student activi
ties. If they do not buy Victory
Bonds and War Saving Certificates
and Stamps with the same enthu
siasm as Canadian children, there
may be some extenuating circum
stances to account for their reluc
tance. On my visits to the schools
in the Division, I find Japanese
students on ball teams, in Cadet
Corps, even acting as N.C.O.’s in
the corps. On the playgrounds, as
in the classroom, there is no dif
ference and the children mingle
and play with others of their age
in harmony and enjoyment.
What is to be the future of the
Japanese resident in Alberta?
They came here under agreement
to return to'British Columbia after
the war, but if this is revoked the
reception of this decision wall be
largely settled by the Japanese
themselves.
They came under a
war-time emergency, to fill a need.
There was little or no anti-Japan
ese feeling here when they ar
rived. If any develops or has. deve
loped it is on account of their act
ions, or lack of co-operation in ac
cepting the restrictions and incon
veniences of war-time, and the
new7 environment they find in Al
berta. They are a people who want
to live near friends and relations,
our prairie distances are very long
to dwellers of the city or the
mountain valley. If they will be
content to settle sparsely in our
communities, accepting their res
ponsibilities, there should be little
opposition to accepting them in all
parts of the Dominion.
They are a law abiding race,
very ambitious to better themselves and educate their children. The
young people are fond of sports
such as baseball, forming clubs for
get-to-gethers. Some small per
centage are affiliated with the
Christian Churches, but the maj
ority are buddhists, supporting two
priests of that faith, and have es
tablished Buddhist Churches at
Coaldale and Picture Butte/ be
sides the pre-war Buddhist Church,
at Raymond.
