"Not an Enforcable Document"

Repatriation Forms are not Valid
In Opinion of Vancouver Barrister
VANCOUVER, B.C.—Repatriation forms, signed by per­
sons of Japanese race,, relinquishing their Canadian citizen­
ship, and indicating a desire to go to Japan is not an enforce­
able document, and it may be revoked or renounced by the
declarant by proper notice in writing. This is the opinion
contained in the reply of Garfield King, well-known Van­
couver barrister, to an inquiry on the matter from an official
of the Consultative Council on Japanese Canadians.
“Unless there is statutory au­
thority." says Mr. King, “no Brit­
ish subject may, in time of war.
relinquish his British nationality,
if the effect of such relinquish­
ment would be to make him an
alien enemy. That has been de­
cided in the courts of England,
including the Court of Appeal."

or renounced by the declarant, by
proper notice in writing."
Mr. King believes that such a
notice, all copies signed by the
declarant, should be sent by reg­
istered mail to at least the follow­
ing: The Commissioner of Japa­
nese Placement, the R.C.M.P., the
Prime Minister and Minister of
External Affairs Rt. Hon. W. L.
Mackenzie King, the Minister of
Labor, and the Secretary of State
of Canada.
Below is the form suggested by
Mr. King:

It cannot be said, in the face of existing- restrictions,

allowed to prejudice the loyalty commission's decision.
Second, the loyalty commission should be set up at the
earliest date in order that persons wishing to remain in
Canada may be cleared of any suspicion of disloyalty.
Third, those passed by the loyalty commission and who
are.still living in British Columbia should be given a more
positive form of encouragement to move out <4 British
Columbia and resettle elsewhere. To achieve that end the
economic restrictions now in their way must be removed.
Then the^ provincial governments must be made to agree
that the dispersal of the Japanese is a national problem tovaids the solution of which each province must accent its
share of responsibility.
It will be necessary also to recognize that there are many
Japanese families in British Columbia classed as “unreloeatable.” They are destitute families, families with infirm
members, and families whose former means of making a
living has been lost through evacuation. Many of these causes

How far the government will
press its theory when the tribunal
begins work is not known. But it
is alleged that undue pressure has
been placed upon the Japanese to
make them volunteer for deporta­
tion to Japan.

The New Canadian, a paper pub­
lished by the Japanese, declares
that they were not allowed a free
choice in this matter, and this ac­
counts for the surprising fact that
some J,000 of them volunteered to
go to Japan. The Free Press says
the government will be actually
enforcing compulsory deportation,
whether this is admitted or not,
if the Japanese are not allowed
to “think again and change their
minds.”
The last Canadian census, in
1941, showed 1'7,278 Canadian citi­
zens of Japanese origin and 5.924
citizens of Japan resident in Can­
ada.
The deportation of 9,000.
therefore, would include not only
the Japanese who had not been
naturalized but also some 3,000
Canadian citizens born in Canada
or naturalized.

Of this proposal the Toronto
Saturday Night—which indicates
the nationwide interest in the
problem—says:
“So far as we can make out the
nature, of the repatriation process,
the Canadian government actually
is asking persons who by Cana­
dian and internatibnz?J. law are
Canadian citizens ... to sign abvay'
their rights as such in an inci­
dental paragraph in a document
declaring their willingness to ac­
cept free transportation to Japan.
We have the gravest suspicion of
the validity of any such declara­
tion, which incidentally has the
peculiar effect (if it has any effect
at all) of causing the signatory
to cease to be a Canadian citizen
without making him a citizen of
any other countrv.”

$

While the assertion of Japanese
rights comes mainly- from eastern
Canada and the prairies, and the
demand for repatriation from Brit­
ish Columbia, there are not in­
significant forces within British
Columbia, which actively resist
racialism. Some of the little towns
°f the interior where the Japanese
were settled after their removal
from the coast are glad to keep
these people as good and steady
workers.

As the agitation for and against

the final policy of the government
is far from clear—how closely it

Nisei GIs Assist in
Making Arrests
■The Associated Press report,
ed Sept. 12 in a dispatch from
Tokyo that the occupation of
Japan and the rounding Up of
high Imperial officials are progressing “with the aid of Nisei."
The AP said that Admiral
Shimada, Navy Minister at the
time of the Pearl Harbor attack,
was arrested by a party Of
Americans headed by Major
Paul Kraus, counter-intelligence
officer who arrested General
Tojo.

Robert Hoita and T. Suzuki,
who visited the veteran, found
his an enthusiastic supporter of
the principles and aims of the
newly organized society: to pro­
tect the interests and further
the cause of the Nisei soldier
now in the armed forces.
Born in Tokyo-fu, Japan, of a
Scottish mother, Major Suzuki
came to Canada 25 years ago. .
He graduated from Toronto Uni­
versity with a degree in engin­
eering.
When war broke out, he en­
listed and served overseas with
the Canadian Engineering
Corps, and returned to civilian
life this year. At present, he
holds the position of fire-chief
officer in No. 2 Army district.

“Major Kraus sent his Nisei in­
terpreters ... to order the ad­
miral to present himself.'- the
AP noted.
