as in the case of a prominent B.C.

not prompted by a spirit of bitter

Cruel Treatment of Prisoners bv
Japanese is Described by a Nisei
Additional evidence of Japanese
cruelty was supplied here (New
York) by a Japanese who fought
against’ the soldiers of Hirohito
for sixteen months during the
struggle for Burma.
Former S/Sgt. Henry H. Gosho,
25 years old, the first Nisei sol
dier from the China-Burma-India
theatre to. reach this city, re
ported that Japanese troops train
ing to become officers received
special instruction in how to use
their Samurai swords to behead
prisoners without nicking their
weapons. Chinese prisoners were
used as “guinea pigs.”
In addition to interviewing pris
oners, the sergeant—an American
by birth—-broadcast Allied propaganda beamed at enemy troops,
eavesdropped while Japanese of
ficers issued commands to their
men, and also served as a rifle
man. He holds the Bronze Star,
the Distinguished Unit Badge, the
Pacific ribbon with three cam
paign stars and the Combat In
fantryman’s Badge.
The Bronze Star was awarded
for one of his eavesdroppin
ex-
Sergeant Gosho spent eight
years studying in Japan before
the war. He expressed belief that
the Japanese people “know they
are licked, but they just don’t
want to admit it,” because “they
are a gi eat people foi' beating
around the bush.”

The
attempted suicide of for
mer Premier Hideki Tojo would
have no effect on the Japanese
people because -they had long ex

WOULD GO TO TOKYO
As to his own future, he de
clared he would like to go back
to Tokyo some day to work for
the American
embassy’- there.
Right now he is looking for a
sales job to support his wife and
baby daughter.
“I came to New York to find a
job,” he explained, “because peo
ple are more tolerant here than
on the West Coast. No clerk in
a store here has ever looked at me
and said: 'You are Japanese and
I will get someone else to wait
on you,’ as has happened out
there. Here I’m a fellow Ameri
can with as much right to be in

Dear Readers:
Each year, about this time, it is custom
ary for The New Canadian to seek special
support from its readers by asking them to
place their greetings for Christmas and New
Year in the big year-end issue.

ency because The New Canadian has had
to meet large expenses incurred in moving
i.r°m,K3sl° to Winnipeg, and getting estab
lished again under more difficult conditions.

Now that World War II is offi

THE NEW
Pagre Seven
Drifting Off
IF you were downtown, you
ould be constantly’ reminded
mi the Fall Horse Racing season
|s|®s coming to a close. All the
Streetcars seem to be advertising
fit and big billboards on the streets
fex4^ Stem the legend “Horse Racing at
-£Folo Park in startling big letters
JThe headlines on the Sports Page
^in the daily newspapers are all on
bW^'horse racing and a cocked ear in
I ^trolleys and buses reveal much of
Uli the conversation is on this so-call-
;L Out of sheer curiosity, four
y^hepefuls and one veteran — we
^ shall refer to him as veteran since
IS he is an old hand when it comes
■^lo horse races—went to the races
'sj yesterday afternoon. To the four
I hopefuls, it -was a novel experii ence, never having set foot inside
i ot a lace track, and since we gen
erally closed our ears in horror
at the mere mention of horse rac
ing as it is considered gambling.
But on this day, we were going
to see what it was like. We were
i <
going to grab the bull by the horns
and see what it was all about.
'4
At Polo Park, a big sign stated
that the admission was 96c, plus
‘W 10c Dominion tax and 19c Provin
cial tax, a total of $1.25—the cost
f
of a good pair of stockings as one
femme member of our group said.
We ventured into the stands
with the surging crowd and found
> 3#
5 -5 oui v> ay to seats in the grand
stand.
^
The finer points of horse racing
S ^as explained to us by the vet| eian That’s a heavy’ track, he
pointed out to us. The track certainly looked heavy—it was ankle
| deep mud and if you’ve been to
j Winnipeg, you’d appreciate it
H more because there’s nothing like
# Winnipeg mud . . . it sticks to
§ your feet like glue and dries like
g concrete.

Tashme Boy Scouts Re-organize
Segregation, Relocation Disrupted Original Group
Scoutmaster lorn Seki to Head Eight Active Pations
By C. 0.
TASHME. B.C.—The mass movement of families to other interior
towns have taken a heavy toll of the Boy Scouts of Tashme. This
coupled with the relocation of virtually all top-ranking leaders has
put the 1st Tashme Scout Troop in the most critical situation ever
experienced since its inception two and a half years ago.
Over -A Scouts and 26 Leaders
have left Tashme during the past
four months. The Troop was depleted even more after re-affirma
tion of July 15, when all disin
terested Scouts were dropped.
The once gigantic ABC troop
comprising of IS patrons, was dishanded by Scoutmaster Tom Seki
at its last general meeting held
July 13. A new Troop of eight
active patrons has been started
and has in its ranks several young
Scouts who are transferees from
other towns. The Troop promises
to be an outstanding success due
to the closer, more co-operative
spirit between L e a d e r s and
Scouts.
The treaders for the new Tash
me Troop are: Tom Seki. Scout
master; Ken Shirakawa, Hiroshi
Shin, Arnold Arai, Assistant Scout
masters: Koji Morishita, Jr. As
sistant Scoutmaster; Hisao Waka
bayashi, Ryoichi Nishikawa, Troop
Leaders.
it is hoped that in the near
future, the 1st Tashme 'troop will
once more expand to two and
three groups when more Leaders
are chosen.
and then too. most of the girls
have left for the interior to do
seasonal work.
T.Y.O.
Owing to the confusion caused
by the segregation, the Tashme
Youth Organization was not able
to hold any social functions. If
things run smoothly from now on,
the T.Y.O. plans to hold a concert
around Christmas time.

Few Niseis Affected
By Lay-Offs In Ontario
Nisei Americans With First
Occupation Troops in Japan
TORONTO. Ont.—Niseis in On
tario are relatively unaffected by
the job lay-offs taking place in
the industries due to transition, it
was disclosed by G. E. Trueman.
Placement Officer, on Sept. 14.
American soldiers of Japanese ancestry, who will play a major role
in the American occupation of Japan, were among the first Americas
troops to land in Japan at Atsugi airfield near Tokyo on August 31.
According to news reports, the Nisei were members of the Eleventh
Airborne Division.
A report received in the United States from Okinawa also reported
the deaths of ten American soldiers of Japanese ancestry in a plane
crash, presumably during a preliminary phase of operations for the
occupation of Japan.
The Pacific Citizen stated that reports from Japan and other Pacific
theatres indicate that “thousands” of Japanese Americas are panic!pating in the occupation of Japan and other post-surrendei’ activities
in the Far East.
One of the first Japanese Americans to land in Japan was Kazuo

In Toronto, among all the Nisei
employees, men and women, only
nine or ten so far have suffered
because of lay-offs. One of the
main reasons is that Niseis were
not employed in government con
trolled munition factories, and it
is these industrial workers who
are suffering now due to lay-offs.
‘Tn general, I would say that
there has been very little change
