WINNIPEG, MAN., OCTOBER 17, 1945
The Dual Nationality
It has been announced by government officials, at both
Ottawa and Vancouver,, that the large number of persons
who signed forms indicating their desire to go to Japan will
be deprived of their citizenship status and shipped to Japan
as soon as arrangements can be completed.
Writing from Ottawa, Grant Dexter of The Winnipeg
Free Press states:
To many people it came as a surprise that the Government
could contemplate depriving a native-born Canadian of his right
to citizenship. In official circles, however, it is explained that
this is possible because of the fact that Japan has always main
tained a dual citizenship.
“ . . . Japan has never admitted the right of a person of Japa
nese blood to change his citizenship unless certain conditions are
met. He must have returned to Japan and have done military
service and he must have obtained a special permit from the......
Japanese government permitting the change in nationality. In
practice, of course, these conditions were virtually an insur
mountable obstacle to any change”
If men in responsible positions in Ottawa.hold the above
opinion, they are seriously misinformed.
It is true that before 1924, Japan held to the principle
of “jus sanguinus” under which a child born abroad auto
matically took the nationality of its parents, and renouncing
the Japanese nationality under that law was not easy.
In the summer of 1924, however, the Japanese National
ity Law was amended at a special session of the Japanese
Diet. The details of that amendment are set forth by Y.
Ichihashi in his book. “Japanese in the United States.”^
"According to the new law, a child born of Japanese parents
in the United States, Canada, and certain South American coun
tries which hold to the principle of “jus soli” (determination of
nationality by country of birth) is not claimed as a subject by
the Japanese government unless it declares, within 14 days after
birth through its legal representative, its intention of retaining
Japanese nationality. Moreover, even if such a declaration of
intention to retain Japanese nationality has been filed, the person
may abandon it at any time by making a simple notification.
Furthermore, the law is retroactive, providing that even those
who were born prior to the adoption of the law, and who con
sequently possess dual citizenship, may at any time cancel their
Japanese citizenship by mere notification.”
In other words, Japanese children born in Canada after
1924 possess only Canadian citizenship unless they have
been registered with the Japanese consul within 14 days
after birth. And those born prior to 1924 can cancel their
Japanese citizenship by simple notification, a step, incident
ally, which has been taken by many Nisei youths.

The existence of dual citizenship today among the Japa
nese Canadians is due to reasons -which have Tittle to do
with them^or their loyalties. Some were registered with the
Japanese Consul because their parents wished some day to
return to Japan. .More important than that, many of' the
first generation Japanese immigrants never seriously con
sidered the implication of the dual nationalitv. and blindlv
followed the example of their friends and neighbors in reg
istering their children in Japan.
It should be noted, furthermore, that the practice of reg
istering Nisei (second-generation) children with the’Japa
nese government was rapidly being discarded since 1924.
In 19‘U. after completing a comprehensive survey of the
Japanese in British Columbia in preparation for his M.A.
thesis. Rigenda Sumida has written:
' *11 receni years, more and more of the Japanese parents do
not make any registration of their children in Japan . . . (because) they have now become permanent settleds in Canada,
in addition, realize that the future of the great mass of
children lies in Canada, not in Japan. Hence, dual nationalwhile still quite common, is much less proportionately than
in former years, and it is rapidly decreasing.”
From the examination of the facts, it becomes clear that
the question of dual citizenship concerns only a limited sec
tion of the Japanese Canadians; and contrarv to the accusa
tions of anti-Japanese propagandists, it has little to do with
the question ot loyalty. Certainly dual citizenship was no
obstacle in the. way of Japanese Americans who fono-ht and
died lor democracy in Italy. France, in Burma. Solomons.
Lex te. Okinawa . . . Certainly it has been no obstacle in the
way of Japanese Canadians serving today in the Canadian
xorces, both in Canada and overseas.
It would seem the official circles will have to find some
better pretext than ‘•dual citizenship” for depriving citizen
ship status from the large number of Japanese Canadians
the government is attempting to deport to Japan.
Citizens, 2nd Class
The Dominion’s 24,000 Japanese
had Ottawa puzzled. What to do
with them?
Arter Pearl Harbor the Govern
ment cleared all Japanese, both
Canadian and foreign-born, out of
the Pacific Coast area, resettled
them in the interior of British
Columbia and five other provinces.
The policy was contradictory: the
provinces were told that the move
was temporary; British Columbia
was assured that the Japs would
be permanently dispersed. The
Government conducted a survey
among the resettled Japs, gave
each a clear-cut choice: stay or
go to Japan. More than 10,000
elected to go.
This week, as Ottawa waited
for permission from Douglas MacArthur to ship the 10,000-plus to
Japan, complications were com
ing fast. In the Tashme (B.C.)
repatriation camp, 70% of the
Japs had changed their minds;
now they want to stay in Canada.
In Montreal, other prospective re
pats asked to withdraw their re
quests to leave; Japan no longer
seemed a good place to live.
Meanwhile, the hosts of the re
settled were kicking up a fuss.
From Alberta came a reminder
to Ottawa that its Japs were tem
porary residents. The Union of
British Columbia Municipalities
demanded that every one of the
Japs be repatriated to Japan.
“Away
Government policy is to treat
Japs already in Canada as human
beings but to ban all further im
migration. But not all Canadians
subscribe to this policy. In the
House of Commons, Chester McLure, Conservative from Prince
Edward Island, stood up and intemperately ranted: “Away with
those human rats. God forbid that
our nation should ever again al; low one. of them to set foot on
Canada’s soil.’’ One Government
official angrily cried that he would
prefer, personally, "to throw out
every goddamned one of them,”
regardless of citizenship. No Gov
ernment, of course, would ever
allow such a thing to happen.
In the center of the verbal
whirlwind, Canada’s second-class
citizens (most of the Japs, like
the Canadian Chinese and Hindus
in British Columbia, cannot vote)
watched in bewilderment man’s
inhumanity to man. Said Tokyo
Morikawa,
30,
Canadian-born:
“The law regards you as a Cana
dian but you are treated as an
alien.”
Morikawa had chummed with
Occidentals in school days, but
as they grew older “the creek
between us grew wider.” He was
moved from his small fruit farm
in British Columbia in 1942, cor
ralled with other Japs, in Winni
peg’s old Immigration Hall. There
they waited two weeks “like cat
tle at an auction” as farmers
looked them over for work on su
gar-beet farms. He farmed for IS
months, then got a job as a tinsinith. He sums up his life in
Canada: "They tell us we don’t
assimilate. When we make friends
with Occidentals and try to get
along they tell us we are crowd
ing in.”
To Teach Those Guys...”
His mother has spent 40 of her
70 years in Canada, speaks little
English, has few friends. She is
homesick. He and his wife will
go wan uer to Japan. There, he
avers: “Tm going to teach those
SdU some democracy. I don't
think TH be welcome.”
Others, who want to stay in
Canaan, fear they will never be
welcome again. Mrs. K. Matsuda.
Wednesday, October 17. 1945
It is odd to observe the calm
with which the public, as a whole
regards the proceeding, conducted
under the aegis of the Dominion
government, whereby it is pro
posed to rid this country of some
thousands of its own citizens who
have in law and by their behaviour
committed no offence. The ex
planation can only be that Cana
dians generally do not know the
facts.
The savagery of the Japanese
in war, the ruthless treatment ac
corded those of their enemies
unfortunate enough to have fallen
into their hands, treatment for
which no excuse can ever be made,
has clouded the public mind. But
the principle involved is so vital
to the continuance of Canadian
democracy that it should be em
phasized and re-emphasized in
these coming weeks. Let us ex
amine some of the considerations
involved.
When the war broke out with
Japan the governments of both
the United States and Canada, for
security reasons, removed all per
sons of Japanese origin from cer
tain specified areas on the Pacific
coast. There could be no quarrel
over that. Military security in
time of war takes precedents over
all else. But the Canadian pro
cedure since then is something
that should cause the deepest con
cern.
Whereas in the United
States American citizens of Jap
anese racial origin are freely mov
ing back to their old homes, the
Canadian authorities are doing
their best—and by means of the
most questionable kind—to fid the
country of as many as possible of
this group of citizens. First of all
it is proposed to set up a “loyalty
commission to a s c e r t a i n the
loyalty! or lack of it, of each mem
ber of the whole group. What
tests are to be applied, nobody
knows: and it may be reasonably
asked why the loyalty of only this
group is to be tested. Why should
we not all be tested as to our
loyalty if this group is to be test
ed? The proceedings, if it were
not serious, is absurd. We have
laws in this country and, if any
citizen breaks them, the courts are
there to punish him. If he does
not break any law, he should be
left alone.
But the government goes fur
ther than this. Its agents have
been circulating among these Ca
nadian citizens asking them to
sign a document which must be
among the most extraordinary
ever to be produced by a Cana
dian government. It begins tints:
“L ............................
.., born
(day. month, year), registered
as Canadian-born British sub
ject . . . under Order-in-Council
P.C. No. 97660, dated Dec. 16,
1941, hereby declare my desire
to relinquish my British nation
ality and to assume the status
of a national of Japan, etc., etc.
Further I request the Govern
ment of Canada to arrange for
and effect my repatriation to
Japan.”
There is good ground for the
belief that the circulation of this
document was, and is. illegal.
Competent lawyers state that, in
view of the imperial statute, the
British Nationality and Status of
3-?. born in the Dominion, is mar
ried to a Jap national. She has
been resettled in Winnipeg with
her two children. Takumi. 3 and
Atsuchifi 6. Sadly she says: "Peo
ple say things that hurt your feel
ings. They tell me we don't be
lieve in God. If we did. the Japs
couldn’t . . . (commix atrocities)
to Canadian men." Said she last
wees: “I don’t know what they
will do with us.”
Aliens Act” of 1914. that these
Japanese Canadian citizens cannot, in time of war, relinquish
their British nationality. Cana
dian citizens who signed this docu
ment pronounced their desire to
become alien enemies, and this
they cannot legally do. As to the
Canadian government, it is most
questionable if it has the authority
to solicit, or induce, or give effect
to, these so-called relinquishments
of citizenship because the status
of British nationality involves a
personal relationship between the
sovereign and the subject which
cannot be voluntarily renounced
by either party without .an enabl
ing statute. No such statute, so
far as- we know, exists. If this
reasoning is correct, the whole
proceeding is worthless, and it
would be interesting also to learn
what offence, if any, is committed,
by anyone who without- legal au
thority attempts to induce a Brit
ish subject to relinquish his British nationality, particularly if the
effect of such- inducement is to
convert the subject into an alien
enemy.
The Free Press has previously
expressed its belief that it would
be sensible if our citizens of Jap
anese origin were dispersed across
the country. The reasons for this
are politicar reasons and represent
some kind of compromise with the
violent, crude and vicious racial
ism that appears to be raging
among the white-skinned citizens
of the Pacific coast. Manitoba has
now more than a thousand Japa
nese Canadians; and it must be
hoped that Premier Garson will
take no step to urge their removal
upon a Dominion government
which has foolishly pledged itself
to do so on request.
But the background of the whole
situation is such as to read us
all a very sharp lesson on the evil
consequences that flow from a
policy based upon neither law net
wisdom. It is time to return to
first principles, and among these
stands the maxim of equality be
fore the law. If we depart from
it in one instance, we will depart
from it in others’. If we discrimin
ate against one group of citizens,
we will in due course discriminate
against others, and liberty in this
country will disappear.

The Dual Nationality
It has been announced by government officials, at both
Ottawa and Vancouver,, that the large number of persons
who signed forms indicating their desire to go to Japan will
be deprived of their citizenship status and shipped to Japan
as soon as arrangements can be completed.
Writing from Ottawa, Grant Dexter of The Winnipeg
Free Press states:
To many people it came as a surprise that the Government
could contemplate depriving a native-born Canadian of his right
to citizenship. In official circles, however, it is explained that
this is possible because of the fact that Japan has always main
tained a dual citizenship.
“ . . . Japan has never admitted the right of a person of Japa
nese blood to change his citizenship unless certain conditions are
met. He must have returned to Japan and have done military
service and he must have obtained a special permit from the......
Japanese government permitting the change in nationality. In
practice, of course, these conditions were virtually an insur
mountable obstacle to any change”
If men in responsible positions in Ottawa.hold the above
opinion, they are seriously misinformed.
It is true that before 1924, Japan held to the principle
of “jus sanguinus” under which a child born abroad auto
matically took the nationality of its parents, and renouncing
the Japanese nationality under that law was not easy.
In the summer of 1924, however, the Japanese National
ity Law was amended at a special session of the Japanese
Diet. The details of that amendment are set forth by Y.
Ichihashi in his book. “Japanese in the United States.”^
"According to the new law, a child born of Japanese parents
in the United States, Canada, and certain South American coun
tries which hold to the principle of “jus soli” (determination of
nationality by country of birth) is not claimed as a subject by
the Japanese government unless it declares, within 14 days after
birth through its legal representative, its intention of retaining
Japanese nationality. Moreover, even if such a declaration of
intention to retain Japanese nationality has been filed, the person
may abandon it at any time by making a simple notification.
Furthermore, the law is retroactive, providing that even those
who were born prior to the adoption of the law, and who con
sequently possess dual citizenship, may at any time cancel their
Japanese citizenship by mere notification.”
In other words, Japanese children born in Canada after
1924 possess only Canadian citizenship unless they have
been registered with the Japanese consul within 14 days
after birth. And those born prior to 1924 can cancel their
Japanese citizenship by simple notification, a step, incident
ally, which has been taken by many Nisei youths.

men and women—provide for our disabled
and their dependents. It is costing huo-e
sums of money, yet it is only one vital
expenditure among countless others.
HOW CAN IT BE DONE?
To make all this possible we must be prepared,
in addition to paying our taxes, to continue to
lend our savings to Canada ... all we can spare.
We must buy Victory Bonds in this Ninth Victory
Loan.
^ this case our duty is also our self interest.
Victory Bonds are the finest of all investments,
guaranteed by all tire resources of Canada. They
pay good interest twice every year and can be
turned into instant cash in case of emergency.
But bear in mind that the Ninth Victory Loan
will be the last for a whole year. Previous Victory
Loans have come every six months. Be sure to
plan to invest the same rate of savings as in previous
Loans . . . it will buy double this time.
For all you hope and long for . .. for yourself
and your children ... for Canada . . . buy Victory
Bonds Now.
Name
Victory!
