S2.00 for Six Months in Advance
Prejudice and Concentration
THE IOCUS OF anti-Japanese agitation today is fixed upon the
contention that this immigrant group by fixed design concentrated in
certain areas and in certain occupations for the express purpose of
dominating those areas and occupations.
There is a feeling that racial antagonism against Japanese Cana
dians was fully justified because of this concentration. It is a point
^°??y belabored by agitators who can no longer declaim about
military security. And it is a misapprehension very widely shared by
many Canadians who are anxious to see a just and democratic policy
preserve some very basic Canadian traditions.
The historical fact, as this journal has pointed out again and again,
is that this concentration was due, on the one hand, to normal social
impulse, and on the other, to the entrenched antagonism of Canadian
society itself. If the Pacific Coast would level an accusing finger at
the concentration of Japanese Canadians, it must also be prepared to
accept a very large part of the blame for those concentrations.
Young and Reid, in their authoritative study, “The Japanese
Canadians”, have touched upon this question.
The natural impulse
of all iminigiants, they point out, is to reside among, and remain in close
contact with, people of their own race, nationality, culture and class,
but they must work in order to live, and they are therefore compelled
to go to the native-born section which controls the wealth of the com
munity and dominates its industrial activities. It is through work
obtained in this way that they enter into the life of the larger group.
Historical studies indicate that the Japanese immigrant group
move^ rapi^y at first toward assimilation into the life of the larger
group, ihey were, in this respect, much more aggressive than Chinese
immigrants for instance, "who still remain clustered in various cities
across the Dominion, without a word raised against them. But as
Young and Reid write:
’

CaSe °f the JaPaneS€’ however, is offset to a certain extent
■by the fact that the discrimination which results from their economic
expansion tends to drive them in op themselves for protection and
postpones their utlimate attachment to the community.”
. _
This is exactly what happened between 1900 and 1941 The natural
$ impulse of the immigrants was to live together. The next step was
to branch out from the segregated communities in search of better
economic prospects. Success in some cases led’ to the demand for, or

The situation is fraught with

they were generally good citizens

understandable. But if that course

the so-called “Japanese problem”. The situation is one that reflects _
a chief weakness in a federal system of government; for we have here _
an illustration of how political differences between the federal

On the other hand, the division between the governments at

Following the announcement of

wide discussion, the daily press in

The following are excerpts from
editorials from newspapers circu
lated in seven principal cities in
British Columbia, Alberta, and
New Brunswick and Ontario.
Stabilize Future
The Japanese will show wisdom
if they sign application forms for
dispersal, but the Dominion has to
deal with the opposition of the
other provinces. Those which have
so far accepted Japanese have

In the meantime, the Japanese

wholesale signing of applications
for dispersal.

the Japanese Canadians to co-operate with it in its effort to
the problem. It has just
justification for asking for the co

not for British Columbia alone.
The government apparently re
cognizes that it is a Canadian
problem, but it has handled it very
adroitly. It made a mistake in fail

this failure sets up an unpleasant
background for future negotiations.

some of them trying to come here

The suggestion, of course, is
that any Japanese Canadian who
wishes to demonstrate his loyalty

co-operation is to be made a basis

Prevent Hiving Says Lethbridge Herald
The situation is fraught with
dynamite if traditional British
freedom and justice are to prevail,
and Canadians should weigh the
facts carefully before final action
is taken .... A fact is that where
Japanese were spread about in
very small colonies before the war,
they were generally good citizens
and caused no dislocation in busi
ness or industry such as was so
bitterly complained about on the
coast .... We had colonies at
Raymond, Welling, and Hardieville
in south Alberta and very little
was ever heard of them. They
caused no trouble and no resent
ment because they made no
attempt to dominate any district.
Ottawa’s suggestion that the
Japanese in Canada, if they are
to remain here, hould be domiciled largely east of the Rockies is
understandable. But if that course
is chosen, they should be so set
tled that the hiving complained of
on the B. C. lower coast would not
