He saw his mother as she
really was, not a tyrant, but a

For the first time he

and with his free hand tilted her

“Oh, Mari! . . . Mari! .

Tenderness, desire, adoration

and with his free hand tilted her
face to the moon. A soft light
illumined her features, makingmysterious pools of her eyes. She
didn’t speak. She put her hands
up to his head bending it toward
her that he might see the radi
ance kindling in her, quickening
all her senses.
“Oh, Mari! . . . Mari! .
you’re everything I want . . .
everything!”
Tenderness, desire, adoration
vent spinning through him, intoxicating him till his soul surrendered to rapture.

awoke from the reverie

chilling sensation.
■ . . six long years . . . back in
1939. The city was Winnipeg, and
the scene took place at the Sal
vation Army Hostel, more affec
tionately termed then as the Sally
Ann flophouse which was the larg
est of its kind that Alas had come
been the restless type.
sick of
to school every day
and poring over books. Books,
theories and formulas, he was sick
of them. What he wanted was a
dash of real experience that could
be had only by cutting away from
the ties of home and school. Which
lie did when he was 16. He wanted
a life out of his own backyard.
He wanted to see if he would be
worth his salt, if he could dish it
out and take it with the best of
them. He had considered making
a man out of himself . . .
Today he particularly felt the
the. thought
of how he could have beeti enjoying a Christian dinner in a festive
spirit with his folks back home.
Oh well, this is the pay-off for
being the black sheep of the
family.
He remembered once as he
dragging his tired feet along the
d u s t y • t r a n s - C a n a d a highway under
the beating sun out on the prairies
with no apparent signs of
around him. He had cried out:
Oh God. what am I doing out
here all alone? AVhat business
have I got out here!"
Maybe it was in the cards, who
knows? But one thing he remem
bered keenly, and he was sure of
it, this lonely feeling had some
thing strange, exciting and soulSc-iiing . . . like being alone in a
strange city at the dead of night.
It made you a little morbid at
first, then suddenly you became
aware, keenly aware, making you
alert, on your toes, lest something,
you don't know exactly what,
should happen to you.

awoke from the reverie
ing a
chilling sensation.
■ . . six long years . . . back in
1939. The city was Winnipeg, and
the scene took place at the Sal

tionately termed then as the Sally
Ann flophouse which was the larg
est of its kind that Alas had come

sick of
to school every day
and poring over books. Books,
theories and formulas, he was sick
of them. What he wanted was a
dash of real experience that could
be had only by cutting away from
the ties of home and school. Which
lie did when he was 16. He wanted
a life out of his own backyard.
He wanted to see if he would be
worth his salt, if he could dish it
out and take it with the best of
them. He had considered making
a man out of himself . . .
Today he particularly felt the
the. thought
of how he could have beeti enjoying a Christian dinner in a festive
spirit with his folks back home.
Oh well, this is the pay-off for
being the black sheep of the
family.
He remembered once as he

the beating sun out on the prairies
with no apparent signs of
around him. He had cried out:
Oh God. what am I doing out
here all alone? AVhat business
have I got out here!"
Maybe it was in the cards, who
knows? But one thing he remem
bered keenly, and he was sure of
it, this lonely feeling had some
thing strange, exciting and soulSc-iiing . . . like being alone in a
strange city at the dead of night.
It made you a little morbid at
first, then suddenly you became
aware, keenly aware, making you
alert, on your toes, lest something,
you don't know exactly what,
should happen to you.

Most people who have

p ~ ■* jB^ihat the main cause of the

J\ Suspicion, which, when war broke
in the Pacific, led to the de^aand for mass evacuation.
has often been said, if the
of the trouble was conceit, JtStration, then logically, the soln' ^jfibn of the problem would be disThinking Japanese Canadians
-Tadmit this. I have vet to meet the

■ LV^of evacuees west of the Rockies
< .-'-.who hesitate to join them. It
I :,must be that their attention has
iyi.;^en directed to the difficulties in
situation rather than to the
WO,
disadvantages.
I d° not deny that these diffi?AShU^^es ^ave been, great. UnforI'T^unately, too, though, the Pacific
^War bas been over since Septemb^er “n^ a^ these difficulties- still
^j^xist—many of the. best jobs are
fe^l°sed to Japanese Canadians:
Evacuees in the East Make Adjustments
Placement Officer, Toronto, Ontario
a very substantial number
those who have come East ha
made good in a splendid way.
TN this Christmas article of mine
for The New Canadian, there
fore, I thought I could not do bet
ter than to outline in a more or
less general way how some of the
nearly 3,000 relocatees now in this
area have been able, as Browning
says, “to turn the worst to the
best.”
Naturally, for obvious reasons,
no names will be mentioned. Behind each case, however, there is
an actual person who could, if
required, verify all points. They
have been selected merely as
samples of the recognition now
being -accorded to the whole
group.
With the suspicion against
them as strong as it is, one would
think that the last thing Cauca
sian people down here woud di
would be to entrust the education,
either secular or religious of their
children to Nisei. Yet, the only
two Nisei who took teachers’
training, have been able to secure
and to hold teaching positions. At
least three girls are teaching in
nursery schools, while a half
dozen or more boys and girls are
acting as leaders of groups of
Boy Scouts or Girl Guides. Sev
eral more are teaching Sunday
School classes. Two girls acted
with great acceptance as camp
leaders this last summer, while
one Nisei boy has been in the em
ploy of a city Y.M.C.A. for ap
proximately two years. One Nisei
girl took the place of a Caucasian
woman in a responsible church
position when the lady was trans
ferred to another city.

anese ancestry may manifest it
self against the group as a whole,
little, if any, hostility is shown
against the individual Nisei once
he has been able to get the posi
tion.
It is, of course, well known that
one Nisei girl is chief soprano
soloist in one of the big Toronto
churches, having secured the posi
tion in competition with some of
the best singers in the city. In a
conversation with her the other
oay, I learned that she now has
over fifty music pupils weekly. A
Nisei boy, too, has been singing in
a church quartette for many
months.

indignant. The company’s policy,
however, was one of no racial dis

About two years ago, a Nisei
who before evacuation had had
his own radio store in B.C. came
east to settle. His first job in a
radio store brought him $20.00 a
week. Inside of six months, he
took over the repair work of the
the pre-contract standard. In the
meantime, he spent his evenings
in the basement of his boarding
house working on plans for an
electric gramophone motor. The
plans matured; a patent was obtained and a company
organized with himself as president.
This company now employs over
thirty people. Product ion has increased that they have outgrown
their former plant and are moving- soon to newer and larger
premises. Although this might
have happened anywhere, there is
little doubt but that the greater
business freedom the Nisei meet
here is more conducive to such
development than the restrictions
imposed on them in the coast
cities.

those who have already relocated
to the East are having- chances
denied to those who still inhabit
the settlement centres. It is not
to be assumed, either, that those
here are. any brighter or more
adaptable than those who for one
reason or another have hesitated
to follow their example. It is, I
think, a mistake to insist on ideal,
or even semi-ideal conditions be
fore taking a job. My advice has
been and still is: Take any job at
all as long as it is respectable and
pays a living wage; be industri
ous and co-operative; commend
yourself to your employer, stay
with him long enough to avoid
the charge of exploitation, using
the time to survey the situation
and to decide upon the kind of;
work you wish finally to do. Even
if that next step does not present

Some evacuees hesitate to take a
job in which they have had no
previous experience. They should
remember that there was a time
when they had no experience in
any job. Suffice it that at first
your employer wants you. With
a normal application of intelli

in the East, for most of the
evacuees is gradually becom

January 1st, for example, in this

a very substantial number
those who have come East ha
made good in a splendid way.
TN this Christmas article of mine
for The New Canadian, there
fore, I thought I could not do bet
ter than to outline in a more or
less general way how some of the
nearly 3,000 relocatees now in this
area have been able, as Browning
says, “to turn the worst to the
best.”
Naturally, for obvious reasons,
no names will be mentioned. Behind each case, however, there is
an actual person who could, if
required, verify all points. They
have been selected merely as
samples of the recognition now
being -accorded to the whole
group.
With the suspicion against
them as strong as it is, one would
think that the last thing Cauca
sian people down here woud di
would be to entrust the education,
either secular or religious of their
children to Nisei. Yet, the only
two Nisei who took teachers’
training, have been able to secure
and to hold teaching positions. At
least three girls are teaching in
nursery schools, while a half
dozen or more boys and girls are
acting as leaders of groups of
Boy Scouts or Girl Guides. Sev
eral more are teaching Sunday
School classes. Two girls acted
with great acceptance as camp
leaders this last summer, while
one Nisei boy has been in the em
ploy of a city Y.M.C.A. for ap
proximately two years. One Nisei
girl took the place of a Caucasian
woman in a responsible church
position when the lady was trans
ferred to another city.

The Present Situation
. As the end of the year approaches, the fate of several thousand
pf-r^io who had requested repatriation and later asked for cancella
tion remains uncertain.
O J
One of the last acts of the government before parliament prorogued
was to table an orderin-cauiicil authorizing the. minister of labor to
deport Japanese nationals who requested repatriation, and natural
ized citizens who requested repatriation but did not revoke their re
quests before September 2.
• Briefly the prime minister’s reason for deporting these people js
that they-thought Japan was winning, and in that case they are dis
loyal. Thai charge has been denied by the evacuees who claim they
requested repatriation unwillingly, in order to escape the immediate
uncertainty that would have been their lot. had they refused to sign.
t^
• So far, the government has shown no intention of investigating the.
charge that the evacuees requested repatriation unwillingly, and un
der conditions of pressure. The government’s reply to the charge is
that there had been no coercion. It is probably true that coercion
as s uch was not intended, but at the same time there is no question
that the evacuees were most reluctant to sign foi' repatriation, and
they made their feelings known in protests to the government before
they were actually required to state their choice before the R.C.M.P.
Unfortunately, the government has made no arrangement to review
individual cases, as far as naturalized persons and aliens who requested
repatriation are concerned, to determine in each case if the person
involved is really disloyal and should be deported, or whether he had
requested repatriation for some other reason.
It seems to us that the government in a democratic country should
exercise great care to avoid committing any act which may later be
established as a gross mistreatment of a racial minority, and.arranging for individual reviews would have been most useful in the present
situation.
(W
e.
The government having announced its deportation policy, the next
move is up to the evacuees to prevent, through democratic methods,
the deportation of innocent Canadian citizens and law-abiding Japanese nationals who signed repatriation documents for reasons not
connected with disloyalty.
s
several steps need to be taken immediately. First those who signed
repatriation documents but wish to remain in Canada must have sent
in their written cancellation to the R.C.M.P.: this must be made cer
tain. Next the evacuees in each province must organize a central
committe to raise funds, and to hold itself ready to take any emergency
action on behalf of any individual threatened with deportation. T h e
organization in Tashme. the Defence Committee in Manitoba. the
Co-operative Committee in Toronto, may serve- in this capacity,

It should be noted that although the government is not providing
for individual hearings, such opportunities, if desired, may be secured
through, appeal to the courts.

The Winnipeg Free Press has pointed out in a recent editorial that
those under sentence of deportation can appeal to the Superior Court
of the particular province in which, they are held prisoner.
We feel confident that neither our laws nor the Canadian public

heart-warming Christmas story,
"The Red Sleigh." which we guar

the story might be a little too

After reading the story, however,
we decided to add more pages
instead.

"It’s All in the Game" is a
. rough - and - tumble story of a
gentleman of the road by another
of our regulars. Jack Nakamoto,
written from his hospital bed in
Ste. Agathe des Mont. Quebec.
The story lias a genuine ring and
reads like a slice of the author’s
life.
"Jokey" was a surprise package.
It was written by a Nisei serviceman in bet ween studying his
J a pa ne.se.
The
author,
who
wishes to remain anonymous, is
known to us, but we never suspected his literary inclination. To
us the story gave an impression
of an inarticulate Nisei finding
bis voice to describe his feelings.
Those feelings, we felt, had been
experienced at some time by a
large number of our readers.
"Empathy" has the most sophis
ticated plot of all the stories. It
was written by another of our
regulars who sends in contribu

Incidentally
the word
"empathy" j? a psychological term
meaning: “the power of project

appropriate term.

The Present Situation
. As the end of the year approaches, the fate of several thousand
pf-r^io who had requested repatriation and later asked for cancella
tion remains uncertain.
O J
One of the last acts of the government before parliament prorogued
was to table an orderin-cauiicil authorizing the. minister of labor to
deport Japanese nationals who requested repatriation, and natural
ized citizens who requested repatriation but did not revoke their re
quests before September 2.
• Briefly the prime minister’s reason for deporting these people js
that they-thought Japan was winning, and in that case they are dis
loyal. Thai charge has been denied by the evacuees who claim they
requested repatriation unwillingly, in order to escape the immediate
uncertainty that would have been their lot. had they refused to sign.
t^
• So far, the government has shown no intention of investigating the.
charge that the evacuees requested repatriation unwillingly, and un
der conditions of pressure. The government’s reply to the charge is
that there had been no coercion. It is probably true that coercion
as s uch was not intended, but at the same time there is no question
that the evacuees were most reluctant to sign foi' repatriation, and
they made their feelings known in protests to the government before
they were actually required to state their choice before the R.C.M.P.
Unfortunately, the government has made no arrangement to review
individual cases, as far as naturalized persons and aliens who requested
repatriation are concerned, to determine in each case if the person
involved is really disloyal and should be deported, or whether he had
requested repatriation for some other reason.
It seems to us that the government in a democratic country should
exercise great care to avoid committing any act which may later be
established as a gross mistreatment of a racial minority, and.arranging for individual reviews would have been most useful in the present
situation.
(W
e.
The government having announced its deportation policy, the next
move is up to the evacuees to prevent, through democratic methods,
the deportation of innocent Canadian citizens and law-abiding Japanese nationals who signed repatriation documents for reasons not
connected with disloyalty.
s
several steps need to be taken immediately. First those who signed
repatriation documents but wish to remain in Canada must have sent
in their written cancellation to the R.C.M.P.: this must be made cer
tain. Next the evacuees in each province must organize a central
committe to raise funds, and to hold itself ready to take any emergency
action on behalf of any individual threatened with deportation. T h e
organization in Tashme. the Defence Committee in Manitoba. the
Co-operative Committee in Toronto, may serve- in this capacity,

It should be noted that although the government is not providing
for individual hearings, such opportunities, if desired, may be secured
through, appeal to the courts.

The Winnipeg Free Press has pointed out in a recent editorial that
those under sentence of deportation can appeal to the Superior Court
of the particular province in which, they are held prisoner.
We feel confident that neither our laws nor the Canadian public
wil] sanction deportation unless such an action is clearly justified.
and it is of utmost importance that we seek a fair consideration for
the doubtful cases.
There is one bright spot in the week’s news that deserves some

She felt it was

an illusion of life rather than life

The

bitter north wind was blowing un

Yet a considerable group had
gathered at a beautiful Anglican
church on Sherbrooke street to
listen to a gentleman from Trini

ungodly Canadian winter? I wonlered what he looked like.

It
seemed absurd that anyone in his

“The skies are beautiful.” she
murmured. There was a kind of
vast peace that seeped into her
troubled soul as she surveyed the
wide skies.
She felt it was
momentary. She could not easily
suppress that craving for the
bright lights, the excitement, and
going around with friends. Not
that she would be contented doing
those things. She was interested
for the moment in escaping from
the months of being cooped up in
the cabin, and city life offered that
relief. She didn’t know. City life
as she knew it was really going
around in endless circles if you
stopped to think about it. It was
an illusion of life rather than life
itself. She would be occupied in
the city, even busy, but at the end
you were left tired and nowhere.
She thought it would be nice to
have a boy friend.
