70 Percent in Tashme Wish to Remain in Canada
Few Months' Delay Foreseen in
Repatriation Move; Question
Under Discussion by Cabinet

Tashme Worried

OTTAWA—Persons of Japanese origin in Canada who
signed agreements to go to Japan will be repatriated at the
convenience of the Canadian and Allied governments, it was
announced by the Labor Department officials last week. Be­
cause of pressing shipping needs for some time to come, it
was” intimated that the deportation may be held up for some
months, but the Japanese will not be permitted to go back
on their agreements to return to Japan.
Of the 23,000 persons of Japa;;ese origin in Canada, approxi­
mately 10,000 have signed re­
quests to go to Japan including
many Canadian-born and natural­
ized citizens. (Some reports place
the figure at between 8,000 and
3,000.)
NO SHIPS AVAILABLE

“They’ll be sent back to Japan
when it suits us to send them,”
the Labor Department officials
said. “At present available ship7h:g space is being used to bring
Canada’s armed forces back from
Europe and to send food back
overseas.
■'The question is now before the
cabinet and has been under dis­
cussion for some time.”
M.P.'S ASK REPATRIATION

Strong pressure is being brought
to bear on the government to de­
port all or a large section of Can­
ada’s Japanese. J. L. Gibson, In­
dependent member for ComoxAlberni, brought the Japanese
question before the House of Com­
mons, Sept. IS, in the ThroneSpeech debate.

China To Deport All
Japanese Civilians
SHANKHAI—All Japanese civi­
lians in China — every Japanese
man, woman and child in the en­
tire country—will be deported to
Japan, Gen. Ho Ying-Chin, Commander of Chinese Field Forces
told correspondents at a press
conference.
The Japanese civilians would be
segregated, the general said, until
the shift could be made.— (Asso­
ciated Press.)

Alberni are definitely determined
that the Japanese shall never re­
turn to British Columbia again,”
he said.
A similar stand has been taken
by E. D. Fulton. Progressive Con­
servative member for Kamloops,
B.C., and Tom Reid, Liberal mem­
ber for New Westminster, both of
whom have drawn the govern­
ment’s attention to the brutal
treatment of Canadian prisonersof-war in Japanese hands by a
Canadian-born J a panese.
It is reported that Tom Reid has
a Japanese Repatriation League's
petition urging deportation of all
Japanese, which he will present
to the House of Commons.
CHIEF ISSUES

The chief point under discussion
by the cabinet is to determine
what section of the Japanese pop­
ulation in Canada is to be deport­
ed. If it is decided to deport all
of the 10.000 persons who request­
ed earlier in the year, it will mean
compulsory deportation of those
who have since applied to have
their requests for repatriation can­
celled. It was reported previously
that some members of the cabinet
favored deportation of all Japa­
nese.
The cabinet must also decide
what factors are to be considered
in determining the loyalty of alien
and Canadian-born Japanese. If
protests against arbitrary treat­
ments received during and after
evacuation, or refusal to move out
of British Columbia are to be con­
sidered proofs of disloyalty, a con­
siderable section of them may be
faced with deportation. On the
other hand, if only more actual
proofs are to be considered, very
few can be classed as disloyal.

Town Hall Meeting of the Air

Chinese Support Nisei Soldiers in
Discussion on Japanese Minority
VANCOUVER, B.C.—Three Ca­
nadian soldiers of Japanese an­
cestry rose from the audience at
ihe Town Meeting, of the Air in
the Medical Dental Building audi­
torium Friday night (Sept. 14) to
beg for assimilation of their fel­
lows by Canada, reported the Van­
couver Province.
They became the first Japanese
to speak over the radio here since
Pearl Harbor.
All three wore the multi-colored
patch of the Canadian Army Pa­
cific Force.
One of them said Canadian-born
Japanese had been accepted into
the army only at the insistence of
Britain and other Commonwealth
nations.
SACKED BY CHINESE

Three Chinese spoke from the
floor in their support, opposing
discrimination against any minor­
ity group in Canada.

The panel discussion on “What
About the Japanese Minority in
Canada?” which preceded the de­
bate from the floor, had ended in
a deadlock.
Austin Harris, chairman of the
Richmond branch of the Japanese
Repatriation League, and J. How­
ard Fletcher, member of the
league’s provincial executive, both
urged deportation to Japan of the
entire Japanese population here.

Over Repatriation
TASHME. B.C.— Repatriation
is the major question in the
minds of Tashme people today.
Meetings are being held by
the executives of the Japanese
Committee, Tashme Youth Or­
ganization,
Parents - Teachers
Association, etc.

One thing is evident. Tashme
people are worried about the
future.

Some Non-Repats
Remain in Rosebery
NEW DENVER, B.C. — Move­
ment of non - repatriates from
Rosebery to New Denver is at a
standstill due to lack of sufficient
accommodations here.
There are still a number of nourepatriate families in Rosebery
which has been designated a re­
patriate camp.

Nisei Infantry Gets
Loudest Cheers
HONOLULU, T.H.—The loud­

est cheers in Hawaii’s three-day
celebration of victory over Ja­
pan were for “remnants” of the
original 100th Infantry Battalion
of Japanese Americans from
Hawaii who made military his­
tory in Italy, the Associated

Press reported on Sept. 3.
Men of the 100th Battalion,
many of them wounded, wearing
the “Red Bull’ shoulder patch of
the 34th Division, were in the
line of march as more than
30,000
persons,
representing

every race, color and creed in
the
mid-Pacific
melting
pot,
paraded to celebrate the ending
of the war which began with the
attack on Pearl Harbor nearly
four years ago.

Among

the

marchers

were

thousands of Americans of Jap­
anese ancestry.

Requests Minority
Bill of Rights
OTTAWA—A request for a min­
ority bill of rights came from a
new .member, Alistair Stewart
(C.C.F.-Wiunipeg North Centre),
who claimed there was need for
such a bill because of racial dis­
criminations in Canada, said a
Canadian Press report.
He said there was discrimina­
tion against the Jews, colored
people, the Poles, Ukrainians and
other racial groups.
this dis­
crimination not only existed in
immigration laws, but also was to
be found in educational institu­
tions, and he mentioned McGill
University at Montreal and To­
ronto University.

Act of Intolerant Racialism

Wholesale Deportation of Niseis
Will Not Be Tolerated—Free Press
WINNIPEG, Man.—Deportation of 10,000 persons of
Japanese origin, who signed requests for repatriation and
who later changed their minds, will be “an act of brutal and
intolerant racism which decent Canadians will have on their
conscience,” declared the Winnipeg Free Press in its lead
editorial on September 19.
Concern was expressed also
about the government’s policy in
connection with loyalty tribunals
soon to be established, because a
government spokesman has stated
that a refusal of a Japanese Ca­
nadian to move out of British
Columbia may be counted against
him.
“It is absurd on its face to
try to test a Canadian’s loyalty
to his country by^ his consent or

is a distinct danger that the government intends to rid
itself of a vexatious racial problem by deporting against
their wishes, a large section of this minority group who are
innocent of any crime or disloyalty.
Earlier this year, all persons of Japanese origin in Can­
ada 16 years and over were required to appear before the
R.C.M.P. to choose between remaining in Canada and going
to Japan after the war. At that time, approximately 10,000
persons requested repatriation because the choice had to be
made under circumstances that strongly prejudiced their
judgment in favor of signing to go to Japan. It is clear that
they do not all wish to go to Japan. It is also clear that they
are not disloyal. If the govermnent decides to deport these
10.000 persons without further examination, that act will
constitute compulsory deportation of a minority group on
racial grounds. The government is now under pressure to
make that decision.
In British Columbia,, the racists have been active over
the past few months circulating petitions and bringing
pressure to bear on th ewernment. Although they are
demanding the repatriation of ill Japanese, most of them
would undoubtedly bo satisfied if they
having
10.000 of them deported.
It is the duty of every Canadian who values fundamental
freedoms, of every organization subscribing to democratic
ideals, to see that such racist machinations will not succeed.
The rights of the Japanese minority, and through that the
rights of all minority groups must be safeguarded. The gov­
ernment. must not be allowed to carry out a plan which
would deport a large section of a minority group, against
their wishes, without any proof of disloyalty, for no other
reason than that they are considered undesirable on racial
grounds.
As for the 10,000 persons, both law-abiding aliens and
loyal Canadian citizens who are threatened with deportation,
now is the time to make a strong protest—now is the time
to make a determined “gambari” stand.

RACIALISM

IS

DANGEROUS

“This catering to British Columbia racialism is dangerous,"
declared the editorial, "because
it establishes a precedent which

CAPRICE
By N. B. E.
Meat Rationing
When meat rationing came into
effect. I went to Eaton's meat de­
partment. determined to learn
something about the new system.
The place was chowded.
Everyone looked baffled and con­
fused.
Customers stood before
counters, ration books in hand,
consulting charts and coupons.
Everyone hurled questions at harrassed clerks, who. not accustom­
ed to the system, fumbled for cor­
rect answers.

A clerk approached. “May 1 help
you?"
He plopped a roast onto the
scale and stared at the figures
confronting him. I asked how
manv coupons I needed.
He
scratched his head, grinned sheep­
ishly and went off to peek at a
chart.
He returned and began
mumbling calculations.

“Mmmmm .
..
seven tokens ...

two coupons,

I went to the rations clerk. He
looked, at the jumble of figures on
my receipt. With a deep breath,
lie plunged into the intricate
chart. Then triumphantly . . .
“two coupons, seven tokens'." He
stamped the receipt and the meat
rvas mine.
Having learned nothing. I tuck­
ed the meat under my arm and
wandered about in search of in­
formation. Eight tokens to a cou­
pon. That permits the splitting
of coupons, and one can buy more
meat at one time than the entire
coupon value. Group A. one pound
per coupon, two ounces per token.
I walked on . . . Group B. one and
a half pounds per coupon, three
ounces per token . . . ah! One
half pound more per coupon and
one ounce more per token . . .
And so it worked up to Group E
with three pounds per coupon, six
ounces per token. It wasn t hard.
Buy why worry? I just have to
see that 1 have enough coupons
. . . the poor clerks have to figure
out everything else.

Some Thoughts
A few days after rationing be­
gan, opposing factions arose. Meat
dealers threatened to strike, or
close down. Meeting’s were called
—the war's over, rationing wasn't
necessary . . . opposition spread'
. . . the clamour increased'. . “It's so easy to forget others'
needs . . . to think only of our­
selves ..." a friend remarked. 1
thought of the starving millions,homeless, maimed, misplaced . . .
rummaging around in refuse bins
. . . the emaciated children . . .
their frantic helpless parents . . .

Vancouver Sun Criticizes
Winnipeg Free Press Article
ANCOl VER. B.C.—The Van­
couver Sun editorially attacked
on September 15 the Winnipeg
tree Press article •‘Our Own Jap­
anese" charging that the prairie
fiEW >p3.p£T ll'HKCS * OX It? 11$ IV £ rderences favorable 10 the Jayanese" but there is no "suggestion
that M inuipeg would welcome a
quota of these residents' or that
Manitoba stands ready to absorb
its share."
The Sun charged that the Win^ipeg newspaper ‘’refers airily to
its ’own Japanese' but .it hasn't
any, and it refrains from voicing
a wish to have any."
(The Winnipeg Free Press ar­
ticle appears in entirety on page
2.)
The Vancouver Sun version of
“Our Own Japanese" is as fol­
lows :
The prairie paper is opposed to
deportation and is even critical
of the means used to persuade
the Japs to sign up for return to
the land of their ancestors. Ex­
tensive references favorable to
the Japanese are cited and anal­
yzed. These are taken from such
sources as The New Canadian,
official organ of the second-gener­
ation Japs. The Vancouver Prov­
ince. Toronto Saturday Night, and
the observations of a Montreal
professor. .

That's where the matter still
stands. Its discussion on that
level by newspapers and other
journals would be welcomed by
the people of this province. The
Sun -understands and subscribes
to many of lite lofty sentiments
which are expressed elsewhere
from time to time, but The Sun
is । unable to find evidence that
the press of the rest of Canada
(and some of the local press, too)
is willing to talk about the prob­
lem on a basis of practical assist­
ance. The Fret' Press for exam­
ple. refers airily to its "own Jap­
anese” but it hasn't got any, and
it refrains from voicing a wish
to have any.
The danger of serious trouble
from this cause grows daily more
acute. British Columbians can be
as high-minded, as noble and as
altruistic as Manitobans or Nova
Scotians or Ontarioites. But they
are determined not to be put upon
in the future as they have been
in the past. This is a national
problem, and the Prime Minister
lias admitted it to be so.
The provinces which demand
that Japs already within their
borders be deported to British
Columbai cannot turn around and
accuse British Columbia of per­
secution because this province re­
fuses to accept the whole load.

promote social progress and bet­
ter standards of life in larger free­
dom. to practice tolerance- it is
hard to understand why this news­
paper chooses to ignore the policy
to which Canada is being pledged.

The press can do a considerable
amount of good or bad. M ith the
building of peace gradually falling
into the hands of the common
people, and with a strong repre­
sentation from the International
Labor Federation <42 nations, rep­
resenting b' million workers) it is
becoming the people's peace. And
it is largely the responsibility of
the pi ess to keep our goals before
us. We are at a critical moment
when we have to choose between
chaos or living according to a
blue print given us in the United
Nation's charter.

To keep faith with the spirit ot
the United Nation's pledge, there
must be no discriminating against
fellow Canadians of other racial
origin. And the press should help
to keep this pledge for interna­
tional and interracial friendship.

To School Routine and Activities
SLOCAN CITY, B.C, —Teacher

Evacuees Sought io
Ease Labor Shortage
In OK Fruit Harvest
KELOWNA, B.C.—Soldiers from
Vernon camp and evacuees in the
Ashcroft district may be put to
work in the harvest fields in the
farm labor shortage, according to
Oganagan Valley to ease an acute
the Vancouver Province.
With the apple ciop reaching
its peak this week. H. C. S. Col­
lett. placement officer for the Do­
minion-Provincial emergency farm
employment, said that if .1.00
soldiers are obtained, the tempor­
ary shortage will be overcome.
The army men will receive civi­
lian rates of pay.
Situation at Ashcroft and Kam­
loops also was acute. Mr. Collett
said efforts were being made at
Ashcroft to secure release from
the Japanese Placement Commis­
sion of evacuees from nearby
camps to pick tomatoes now lying
overripened in the fields.
Scores of Vancouver men and
women who earlier signified they
intended to come here to work
have not turned up and earlier
school opening has made the labor
demand even more acute.

RAYMOND, Alta. — The Ray­
mond A.C.s captured the Southern
Alberta baseball league champion­
ship by taking the rubber match
from the Iron Springs Y.P.A.s 14-8.
After dropping the opener by a
close 4-3 score, A.C.s came back
strong to take the next two games
easily.
In the first inning, Raymond got
off to .a flying start., scoring six
runs oft one hit. four bases on
balls and four errors. Shortstop
Tom Aliyashita's error on what
looked like a cinch double-play
was costly. Had he been able to
make the play it would have re­
tired the side with no runs.
Although Iron Springs outhit
the Raymond nine, their pitching
department and defence were
weak. Twelve walks were issued
and 12 errors were committed.
Raymond played their usual
steady game behind the fine hurl­
ing of Y. Tamura who allowed
eight scattered hits. A.C.'s H.
Yagi was outstanding at third,
coming up with two not grounders
in a row in spectacular fashion.
After the game, a presentation

One by one the others sacrifi.q 1
that right to vote .and were dip
ped from the lists because th^
failed to use it.
But the lone eligible voter—
they think his name starter wrb
the common “K”—kept on voiins.
When the last provincial election
in 1941 rolled around he was the
sole Japanese Canadian voter.
Now ne nas gone from th*
coast. Election officials believe lie
is somewhere in Alberta, and
they’re keeping an eye out for h c
‘‘absentee voter's” card.
All
Japanese veterans w] 3
served with the Canadian forces
in both World Wars are eligible
to vote, but to date none has reg­
istered for this election.

Canadian-born Japanese at Kas­
lo,” only big Japanese publication
in the province.
None of the “so-called Canadia”Japanese citizens” had ever apolo­
gized for Pearl Harbor or for tl e
inhumanity of their race to Allie 1
prisoners.
ASSIMILATION ISSUE

Mr. Fletcher said assimilation
of the Japanese into Canada w< s
impossible without intermarriage.
Other racial groups which had not
intermarried—the Doukhobors, for
instance — had not been assimi­
lated.
Mr. McAIaster begged for moi e
than lip-service to democracy's
principle of equal justice for all.
He claimed that for 99 percent of
the people “using the war as an
excuse to persecute the Japanese
in this country,” .their anti-Japrnese sentiments antedated Pearl
Harbor.
“Let us not make a mockery of
justice by saying to any fellow
human: ’You either voluntarily
agree to go to Japan, or else—or
else you can starve’.”
SALE OF PROPERTY

Air. Norman attacked the way in
which the property of relocated
Japanese in Canada had been sold
“largely to
speculators” after
“officials had told the vacating
Japanese their property would be
kept for them until their return. ’
He said the basic principles of
democracy had been violated by
Canada’s treatment of its Japa­
nese citizens, and that the treat­
ment had been based on “hysteria,
hearsay and rumors.”
Several Chinese in the audience
heckled the anti-Japanese speak­
ers.

AS EAGLES DRIVE FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
By C.A.
ST. JOHN. P.Q.—Kaz Suga's big
bat continued to blast out hits as
the Eagles tied up the semi-finals
of the Starr League Championship
here in a close 5-4 game to nose
out St. John on September 9.
Batting in the lead-off position,
Suga played a perfect game at
the plate, hitting 3 for 3. In the
second inning he poled a long
drive over the right field fence for
a homer. The other two hits were
clean singles. •
Koei Alitsui, who has played in
two games for the Eagles, hit a
sizzling line drive double along
the third base line and drove in
two runs at his first time at bat
in the first inning. Alitsui, who
will be remembered as an ex­
Asahi, is playing right field and
bats in sixth position.

Eagles and St. John now have
a win apiece, while the Postmen
have won one and lost two tc
ATlIe Emard in the other half 01
the Starr League finals.
