Mr. Anscomb s Proposal
It is reported by a Vancouver newspaper that at a meeting of the
Progressive Conservative Association on Vancouver Island, Hon.
Herbert Anscomb, provincial minister for public works, has stated:
“Everything points to the fact that Japanese will be able to wander
around where they like. I have taken the stand repeatedly7 and consistently that they all must go back to Japan.”
.On December 20, 1.9,45, Premier Stuart’Garson of Manitoba issued
.a statement on the’ stand taken by^fhe Manitoba Government
.
with reference to the Japanese Canadian question. Mr. Garson’s
.statement, which was in. the form of a press release, has been
reprinted here in full:

to brave the southern Ontario
climate.
It seems such a short time ago
when 1 arrived on the bumpy,
slow-moving New Denver-Kaslo
C.P.R. caboose which chugged be-
week. Inpny mind's eye. 1 can
still see the time 1 trudged up thatsteep hill from the Kaslo station
lugging an oversized suitcase and
loaded with parcels . . . could al
most hear the whispered conver
sation behind twitching curtains
as 1 walked down the main street:
“there's a stranger in town.”
Then followed days o’f learning
the office routine, reading proofs,
page composition and also the
culinary art of concocting unbelievable dishes for two hungry
mouths. Perhaps it was just as
well that the mouths were hungry.
Lakeside Villa and the mice,
Vista Vimy and Miki the cat. so
cials, golfing, boating und hiking
were all crammed into those happy
days spent in the Kootenays. And
there are Jacqueline, Viola, Etsu
ko, Yaeko, Tsune, Kazuko, Eiko,
Amy, Betty and Evelyn, all of
whom helped to make life gayer
in Kaslo. I might add in order to
erase any conclusions that the
reader might arrive at, that they
have yet to attain their twelfth
year.
,
Then early this summer, The
New Canadian hit the relocation
trail in the wake of thousands of
others who ven tin ed east of the
Rockies. The roar and bustle of
Winnipeg is a contrast to quiet
Kaslo.
Now greener pastures beckon
and next, week, I will start out on
the last lap of the relocation trail.
It's goodbye to Naomi Elaine, the
relocee baby and to many friends.
And it’s hello to friends in On
tario . . . have the welcome mat
out.

Tell People Not to Come Here
NEWELL, Calif. — “For God’s
sake go back to America and tell
come
the people there not
here.” This is the message a
Nisei member of the merchant
marine. Noboru Harry Hashimoto,
relayed here following a trip to
Japan with the Merciant Marine,
Hashimoto, who relocated from
Tule Lake a few months ago. visit
ed the centre early in December.
On his trip to Japan, he had
three days shore leave in Tokyo
and Yokohama and visited his
uncle, who was in Japan through
out rite war. It was his uncle who
asked him to tell the Issei and
Nisei in America to remain in this
country.
Hashimoto said his uncle's diet
consisted' chiefly of sweet potatoes, with rice virtually unobtainable. Cigarettes were selling for
51.25 a package and were much
more expensive in the black market.
war years but all public dance
halls in Tokyo and other Igrge
Japanese cities were closed in
October, 1940, when authorities
banned them.
'
This created a sad situation for
Japanese jitterbugs and it became
worse when the playing of American music, including Stephen
Foster melodies and boogie
woogie,
was
tabooed
shortly
after the outbreak of war.
The best band in Japan when
dancing still was allowed was led
player, Suin
by a tenor
Matsumoto, who dished out the
jive at the Florida ballroom. He
still is the king of swing here, and
now leads a combination which
has won the plaudits of American
service men at shows in the Hibiya
public hall.
Another popular favorite is Sash
(Caldonia) Moriyama, trumpeter
and vocalist. (Rocky Shimpo).
OKINAWA — Staff Sgt. Kenzo
Miyashiro of Honolulu, U.S. Army
interpreter, recently was reunited
with his father and aunt who were
found hiding in the hills on Okin
awa.
Sgt. Miyashiro brought them
back to their home on Itoman.
