i. People of Japanese origin
o have been guilty of no disov a] act or who have not disyed any disloyal intent must
treated fairly and justly.
Mr. Mitchell declared then that
s statement on the repatriation
nicy represents no departure
from the policy outlined by the
Prime Dlinister last year.

“At various times during the
war. groups of persons of the
Japanese race have indicated that
it was their desire to go to Japan
during the war or as soon there­
after as possible.
“In the early part of 1945. a
survey was made to ascertain
how many there were who de­
sired to be repatriated to Japan.
All persons of the Japanese race
who could readily be located were
requested to indicate voluntarily
their wishes in this respect. No
coercion or force or any pressure
of any nature was used. On the
contrary, every precaution was
taken to see that there could be
basis for a charge of coercion. ;
“There is a total of 10,347 involved in the voluntary requests
made, for repatriation.
Of this
number, 6.S44 actually signed requests — the remainder are dependent children under sixteen
years of age of those who signed.
Those
signing
included
2,923
Japanese nationals, 1,461 natural­
ized Canadians and 2,460 Candian-born. Of the 10,347 involved
in the requests, more than 70
percent were residing in the
interior housing settlements in
British Columbia when the survey
was undertaken.

"Up to September 2, 1945. the.
date of the signing of the Japan­
ese surrender, only a very insigpmcant number had applied to
revoke these requests.
Since
September 2. 1945, applications
mr revocation have reached us in
considerable numbers.
As the first step in the repatriof this group, the governdecided that it was necesto obtain the advice of
Gt-ncral MacArthur, the supreme

was
made by the International
Cross with respect to this
matter.
Japanese spokesmen that there
had been intimidation, and the
report of the commissioner is to

question whatsoever of intimida­
tion, and that the word had been
used wrongly.

Maclnnis Critical
Mr. Angus Maclnnis (C.C.F.
Vancouver East) declared that in
order to make possible the resettle­
ment of Canadian Japanese in
provinces outside British Colum­
bia. the government will first have
to approach the provinces and
seek the cancellations of agree­
ments providing for the removal
of Japanese after the war.
He proposed secondly that re­
strictions now prevented them
from buying and leasing real pro­
perty should be'removed so that
they can buy property to assure
their economic welfare, acquire
social and economic roots, and
they will have more reasons to
remain where they have been
settled.
Until the Japanese Canadians
are given their right of citizenship, Dlr. Maclnnis said, we shall
be faced with the menace of their
return to the Pacific coast.
Mr. Maclnnis disagreed with the
Minister of Labour’s statement,
that no coercion had been used
in getting the Japanese to sign
the repatriation certificate.
“I saw some of the notices
issued; I saw the advertisements.
The advertisements said that re­
fusal to move east might after­
wards be taken as disloyalty and
be used to ship them to Japan."
VIOLATED

DEMOCRATIC

TRADITION

Dlr. Maclnnis pointed out that
the treatment of persons of Jap­
anese origin in Canada “violated
every democratic tradition and
every Christian principle.”
They were in Canada with the
consent of Canada, and 75 per
cent or more of them were Canadian citizens by birth or naturalization.
“These people were no more responsible for the military agres­
sion of the Japanese government
than any other citizen of Canada.
“No disloyal act has been com­
mitted by any Canadian-born Japfar as I know, by
anese, or.
any person of Japanese origin.
“Yet they have been accused
of disloyalty and we never gave
them an opportunity to demon­
strate their loyalty. They wanted
to enlist in our armed services:
we would not accept them. Why?
for the feat that when the war
was
over,
they might make
claims to citizenship rights which
they should have in any event.
After repeated requests by the
British government for the serv­
ices of Canadians of Japanese
origin to be employed in the Paci­
fic war area a small number of

6. Push education ea mpaigns
"to develop a high appreciation
and understanding of this important problem.”

Public bodies have
their opinions on the matter of
Japanese. but these opinions have
been vacillating.

Mr. P. H. Ashby (S.C. Edmonton East) said he had some personal experience with the Japanese.
He secured the services of a
Japanese family, provided them
with cottage and other things. Be­
fore long this man “in my pres­
ence pointed to our own train­
ing planes flying overhead and
said, ‘Japanese better.’ I heard
his children in our yard singing,
‘Hong Kong Singapore, Hong
Kong Singapore'.”
“Then this man . . . told me that
while he was in the camp at
Jasper these Japanese had secret­
ly manufactured knives, some of
them long, thin, slender knives,
from bits of saws and so on, so
that, as far as 1 understood him.
practically all of them were armed.”

Mr. Dan McIver (L. Fort William) said: “British Columbia has
no.greater responsibility than any
other province to supply homes
to those who have come out from
Japan, and their descendants. But
Canadian citizenship is a sacred
thing; whether a man be Japan-ese. IiTdian or Irish-, his citizenship is his sacred right."
Mr. Mitchell, minister of labor,
said in comment to the above: “I
agree with that. But always re­
member this, that when this
nation gives citizenship to an
individual from another country,
that citizenship carried with
certain obligations.
