More Self-Respecting
Is Detention Leg'al?
It is not with idle and academic interest alone that
Japanese-Canadians are eagerly anticipating the decision
of the Supreme Court of the. United States, at Washing
ton, on the constitutional validity of the evacuation order,
as affecting an American citizen, and the continued de
tention of such persons in government camps. These two
test cases, concurrently reviewed two weeks ago by the
Supreme Court, are sponsored by the American Civil
J liberties Union in a link of the chain, of legal action for
ged to protect the rights of the Japanese-Americans in
war-time—the negation of which is termed by its sponsors
as the most catastrophic of all inroads upon the civil
rights of American citizens, arising out of any war'.
|
The cases before the Supreme Court will decide the
fright of the military to evacuate a group of citizens with
out clue process of civil law and to detain them in pro
tective custody. It is expected that this judicial review of
wartime custody will settle the legality of these orders
which are unprecedented in the history of the United
States.
It is interesting to note in thi§ connection that the Supreme
Court upheld the validity of the curfew order unanimously June 18 of
last year. It involved the order for curfew issued by Lieutenant Gen
eral John L. DeWitt then commanding general of the Western De
fense Command (who subsequently issued the order of evacuation)
and on a congressional act imposing penalties for violation of his
orders. The appeal was made as a test of the order as applying to
United States citizens. In November, 1942, Federal Judge James A.
Fee ruled that the curfew order, applying to enemy aliens and citi
zens of Japanese ancestry in designated areas, was unquestionably
void insofar as it applied to American citizens. He held that a mili
tary commander under the constitution is given no power of legisla
tion. The decision was reversed in the Supreme Court.
Are the military exclusion orders, and more import
ant now, a continued detention in government camps
also valid? These are the constitutional issues now in
volved in the cases before the High Court of Justice at
.Washington.
Something of the possible outcome of these proceedings mav be
gathered from the utterances of Frances A. Biddle, Attorney General
of the United States, who states that these orders were issued bv the
military and predicated on circumstances entirely of military charac
ter and therefore once the necessity
is
deemed
not
an urgent
character by the military, it will be constitutionally impossible to
keep and American citizen from going where he will. In the light of
such high judicial opinion of an' official character, it is doubtful that a
continued detention of a free citizen outside of prescribed areas when
the forces of Allied nations are piercing the inner defenses of Japan
ese Empire, and the military situations of the Pacific zone cannot be
described as critical, can be valid.
It is rather curiously tragic and noteworthy that in
Canada no question or doubt whatsoever is raised
on the legal validity oi parallel orders, broadly similar in
all essential phases, alike afle'cting citizens to utter disrup
tion of his ordinary and lawful life, without due process
of kIY to establish individually his guilt or innocence.. It
suffers no apparent qualms;,the entire matter as regards
possible violation of basic human rights sits lightly on
Canadian conscience. Perhaps the reason is to be found
•on the profound emphasis placed on the civil rights of an
indh idual in the United States nurtured and fostered in
its tradition and traceable ultimately to the lofty idealism
that resulted in the founding of that countrv.’
The Church Contributes
With the Government's neglect and lukewarm at
titude to the provision of secondary education, the effort
of the Christian Churches of stepping into the breach and
providing the necessary tutorship will remain as one of
the iinest and most constructive things that the churches
have, done.
Some idea of the expenditure came to light at the
recent United Church Conference where it was reported
that $30,000 was spent by that church alone in its
evangelistic and school work. Even if evangelistic motives
were paramount in this expenditure, it is evident that the
net service provided the Nisei is most appreciable and
must be highly commended.
For surely the -teaching of the ideals of democracy
to the rising generation is necessarv to progressive de«mocracy and moreso needed now. that thev. the younger
Nisei may instill some fresh idealistic life-blood to. the
smTits of the older Nisei, which by force of circumstances,
the shocks of disillusionment, the ills of the times, have
taken an anaemic pallor.
(A writer who signed himself
“Commentator”, in a letter to the
editor of the Nelson Daily News
recently, urged that Kaslo occiden
tal “mercenaries” who protested
the removal of evacuees from that
centre be “reallocated, repatriated,
or what have you, along with the
Japanese, and then we would all
be happy.” The following is a
reply which appeared in the same
newspaper on October 23.)

Sir:
Re: Commentator’s impertinent
and stupid jibe against our lead
ing citizens, in Monday’s News: It
is hardly worth answering at all,
save for its implied hatred and
contemptuous intolerance for our
Japanese citizens.
As one of the “mercenaries” in
question, may I ask Commentator,
man to man, has he ever met or
talked to a Japanese of any age,
“national,” or Canadian citizen ?
Is he aware that they include here
in Kaslo a skilled and able sur
geon, dentist, oculist, trained nur
ses, etc., etc., of whose willing and
splendid
services we “Whites”
thankfully and gladly avail our
selves ?
Is he aware that the majority

by enlisting for service? But our
priceless politicians will' have none

I will walk through Kaslo today,

What Are Niseis Doing?
Editor, The New Canadian . . .
The New Canadian has been a
real joy to me. It is my “Hansard”
on news relating to Japanese Can
adians.
The paper keeps me in
touch with old friends impossible
to follow in any other way. Of
course, I am particularly interest
ed in the United Church people.
We are all proud of those young
people from Tashme to Montreal.
They are doing a grand job.
However, in your September 30
number, I noticed in your report of
Hamilton young people that only
49% attended church. I am sorry
for that because the Church has
been so splendid in helping the
Nisei.
When I read about all the club
'activities and fun, I see that the
young people as a whole are
plunging into amusements that at
least do not make for interest in
the deeper things of life. Jiving
and jitterbugging, raising money
by raffles, skill in mixing cocktails,
and smoking among girls (the
girls I knew in the V A S. held
such fine ideals of womanhood) are
among the forms of amusement
taken by the young people. I hear
also that gambling is getting a
strong hold on a number of relocees. I wonder if these things ure
keeping the young people from
active church life?
Are they taking democracy to
mean '‘license” and not “liberty”
in its true sense ? Democracy
ought to give us the chance to
build up a strong character: a per
sonality that can win respect and
admiration in any line of activity.
It is grand to be young, to have
problems to face and the power to
solve them. It h the battle that
makes one strong.

A View on Intermarriage
(The oft-discussed topic of in

following letter to three eastern
Niseis written by “Aunt Gertie”,
an occidental friend.)
*
*
*
Dear Boys:
This will include Tsuneo and
Grant to whom I owe a letter and
many thanks for- Grant’s poem
which I shall comment upon more
fully when I write to hkn.
The hottest days are past now
so I hope my zeal for correspon
dence will take a lift. I have been
so lazy about letters.
First of all Kats, I wish you
could bring Grant down for a week
end to see Niagara Falls since he
has never seen it. You know you
are always welcome and can put
up at our house. The “boy’s room”
looks very empty now with only
Alan in it because David still oc
cupies the cot downstairs so there
will be a spare bed for you to
quarrel over.
I ou do write a grand letter
Kats. It makes me feel quite an
uplift to have such a correspon
dent. About the intermarriage of
the races, I see nothing whatso
ever againstit. In fact, I believe
thev must cross in order to elimi
nate race prejudice. Some of my
iriends are “agin” it and one savs
that in the beginning of a new
“race’, the Higher Powers en^s‘:e^ with the care of that new
iniant type of humanity, use every
precaution to preserve the new
lace and keep it pure from admix
ture with the lower types. He
claims the third root race was
negroid, the fourth and higher,
mongloid (yellow) and the fifth,
the. Aryan, now represented in
India, Europe and America. There
will follow a sixth and seventh
root race before our earth under
goes a major change and these two
will be infinitely more perfect than
the present human types. What
ever anyone’s theories may be, the
fact remains that intermarriage is
taking place at a tremendous rate
and in parts of the world, no welldefined human type can now be
found. In the southern United
States, the pure blooded negro
type has about vanished and in
Brazil, no one feels ashamed of a
negro slave grandfather.
So there you are; if you fall in
love with and marry a “white”
girl, you will have my blessing.
The children, I am told*, of crossmarriages are usually beautiful
and clever. I can believe that, as
new blood introduces new qualities
w-hich ought to cause improve
ment.
Race prejudice seems to be ab
solutely rooted in some people, but
it is actually ignorance, like hatred
of the Jews, fear of thunder and
black cats. The best attitude to
adopt toward people with these
quiiks is to laugh gently and good
humouredly. Argument and cold
logic make no impression on the

A View on Intermarriage
(The oft-discussed topic of in
termarriage is the subject of the
following letter to three eastern
Niseis written by “Aunt Gertie”,
an occidental friend.)
*
*
*
Dear Boys:
This will include Tsuneo and
Grant to whom I owe a letter and
many thanks for- Grant’s poem
which I shall comment upon more
fully when I write to hkn.
The hottest days are past now
so I hope my zeal for correspon
dence will take a lift. I have been
so lazy about letters.
First of all Kats, I wish you
could bring Grant down for a week
end to see Niagara Falls since he
has never seen it. You know you
are always welcome and can put
up at our house. The “boy’s room”
looks very empty now with only
Alan in it because David still oc
cupies the cot downstairs so there
will be a spare bed for you to
quarrel over.
I ou do write a grand letter
Kats. It makes me feel quite an
uplift to have such a correspon
dent. About the intermarriage of
the races, I see nothing whatso
ever againstit. In fact, I believe
thev must cross in order to elimi
nate race prejudice. Some of my
iriends are “agin” it and one savs
that in the beginning of a new
“race’, the Higher Powers en^s‘:e^ with the care of that new
iniant type of humanity, use every
precaution to preserve the new
lace and keep it pure from admix
ture with the lower types. He
claims the third root race was
negroid, the fourth and higher,
mongloid (yellow) and the fifth,
the. Aryan, now represented in
India, Europe and America. There
will follow a sixth and seventh
root race before our earth under
goes a major change and these two
will be infinitely more perfect than
the present human types. What
ever anyone’s theories may be, the
fact remains that intermarriage is
taking place at a tremendous rate
and in parts of the world, no welldefined human type can now be
found. In the southern United
States, the pure blooded negro
type has about vanished and in
Brazil, no one feels ashamed of a
negro slave grandfather.
So there you are; if you fall in
love with and marry a “white”
girl, you will have my blessing.
The children, I am told*, of crossmarriages are usually beautiful
and clever. I can believe that, as
new blood introduces new qualities
w-hich ought to cause improve
ment.
Race prejudice seems to be ab
solutely rooted in some people, but
it is actually ignorance, like hatred
of the Jews, fear of thunder and
black cats. The best attitude to
adopt toward people with these
quiiks is to laugh gently and good
humouredly. Argument and cold
logic make no impression on the

WHAT IS A VICTORY BOND?
A Victory Bond is the promise of the Dominion of
Canada to repay in cash the full face value of the
Bond at the time stipulated, with half-yearly interest
at the rate of 3% per annum until maturity.
A Victory Bond is the safest investment in Canada.
The entire resources of the Dominion stand behind
it. Canada has been issuing bonds for 75 years and
has never failed to pay every dollar of principal and
interest.

(Mr. Smythe’s), is a voice “crying

that a “little haven leaveneth the

I hope your work has gone
smoothly all summer and that you
have had some fun in recreation

Japanese boys (from Hamilton, I
think) got off the street car at the
race course between Thorold and
Niagara Falls. I was going to the
Falls to see the Oakes Garden and
was much amused at their eager

be away to “bet their money on

and admonished them not to waste

a happy grin and hurried on.

WOMO! a masculine reply
Women are what men think
they fall in love with. They have
long coloured fingernails, a pint of
paint on their faces, dozens of
hats, and wear slacks to imitate
the more human of the biped
species. Unique as sunsets, a man
can never judge one female from
another, and therefore, is always
in a state of utter confusion, try
ing to figure her out.
Generally speaking, though
never positively, women may be
divided into three categories: old
maids, innocent things, and wives.
Old maids are those that know all
the answers, but have never been
asked the questions.
Innocent
things are those that ask all 'kinds
of question that a gentleman
cannot answer.
Wives are those who ask the
questions and supply the answers
before you can protect yourself.
One kind of wife is one who
drives a worthy man to drink with
incessant chatter and unbalanceable
budgets. The other kind are just as
bad: they just drive you crazy
with their impeccable fastidious
ness.
Making a model wife out of a
•woman is a near impossibility. A
man needs lots of money, a beauty
parlour, money, a super-automatic
kitchen, money, a perfume counter,
but especially money.
A man must be a philosophical
gemus to tolerate the whims fan
cies and tastes in hats of women

she siaps you; if you don’t, she
wants to slap you. If you don’t

you marry her, she dreams of the

Women are what men think
they fall in love with. They have
long coloured fingernails, a pint of
paint on their faces, dozens of
hats, and wear slacks to imitate
the more human of the biped
species. Unique as sunsets, a man
can never judge one female from
another, and therefore, is always
in a state of utter confusion, try
ing to figure her out.
Generally speaking, though
never positively, women may be
divided into three categories: old
maids, innocent things, and wives.
Old maids are those that know all
the answers, but have never been
asked the questions.
Innocent
things are those that ask all 'kinds
of question that a gentleman
cannot answer.
Wives are those who ask the
questions and supply the answers
before you can protect yourself.
One kind of wife is one who
drives a worthy man to drink with
incessant chatter and unbalanceable
budgets. The other kind are just as
bad: they just drive you crazy
with their impeccable fastidious
ness.
Making a model wife out of a
•woman is a near impossibility. A
man needs lots of money, a beauty

kitchen, money, a perfume counter,
