WINNIPEG. Mam —The future
of .Taiwanese Canadians who are
thinking of going to Japan is
gloomy is the opinion of a Winunit in the China - Burma - Indi
theatre.
Writing home to a friend in
Winnipeg, the Japanese Canadian
serviceman said he had talked to
a number of Japanese prisoners-ofwar. some of whom were welleducated and held “very high
ranks" in their army, and “most
of them had a sorry store- to tell."
"Their main concern is the live­
lihood of the millions of Japanese
in their country-. No doubt the

Allies will have to submit
to be saved
but I wonder what
chance the ‘foreigners’ from Canada wiii have.’’ the Nisei s<
said.
He cannot understand why Ca­
nadian Niseis want to go to Japan.
Although the future of the Ca­
nadian Nisei troops in Asia is un­
certain, he thinks there is a possi­
bility- that some of them may be
on the way home by next spring.

The Niseis have been posted in
widely scattered areas after reach­
ing India, and one of them was
reported near Singapore.

approved: “to encourage respect
