JAPANESE CANADIANS
^ Petition to the Prime Minister

and his cabinet)

I Re Canadian citizens of Japanese origin.

Minister Mackenzie King, Labor Min­
ister, Humphrey Mitchell, and M. J.
Coldwell, C.C.F. leader, by the Fel­
lowship of Reconciliation on June 8.
The letter urges that those who
have signed for “repatriation”- for
any reason be allowed to reverse
their decision.
The indemnity for their property
losses, and lifting of all restrictions
with respect to their purchasing pro­
perty are also urged.
Among reasons for the large per­
centage of Japanese Canadians, ap­
plying for repatriation is their
sense of injustice at the hazard of
taking up lives anew in central and
eastern Canada, the letter seated.
The complete text of the letter
appears on this page.
