The New Canadian recently had a unique opportunity of perconalfy interviewing an American Nisei who has been in Japan
-nd was able to glean first-hand information on present-day
conditions there. He was attached as interpreter to a group of
U.S. Army officials whose special job was to determine the extent
of damage done in Japan as a result of war and the bombings.
Investigations included almost every field—physical damages due
to bombings, effect of atom bombing, economic conditions, and

the study of morale.

4 WINNIPEG. Man.—If the evacuees knew what condi­
tions are really like in Japan, they would think twice before
llhey decided to return to Japan. This is the frank opinion
fbf Robert Hisatoshi Kitajima, who left Japan on January IC
rot’ this year after spending more than two and a half months
Bhere with the U.S. Army of Occupation.
Robert Kitajima, a 25-year-qld Hawaiian-born Nisei, wears three
^tripes and a shoulder patch indicating that he belongs to the U.S-.
§hmy Air Corps, in which he served as an interpreter. His good
Jinowledge of the Japanese language permitted, him to talk with many
Japanese civilians in various parts of Japan.

He is now visiting the family of his fiancee, in Winnipeg.
Sgt. Kitajima enlisted four years ago, and before going to Japan,
Khe was stationed on Guam.
‘'You have read stories in newspapers and magazines which seem

large number of Japanese people, some of whom he got to know
Kjuite well.

^Shortage of Goods Led to Unprecedented Inflation
L Perhaps the most striking feature about present-day Japan is inflat tion. The shortage of food, clothing and other necessities has led to
§he worst inflation in Japanese history. Black market is flourishing
practically in the open, although the police have spotters to keep a
^heck on big-time operators.
Conditions are worst in the larger cities which have been heavily
Miombed.
^ A ration system is in operation, but the amount of food that each
^person gets is below the subsistence level. The daily ration of rice
^?mounts 1° about one bowl per person when cooked. They forage

Report Says Montreal
Offers Opportunities
MONTREAL. — Montreal offers
as many opportunities for Niseis
as anywhere else in Canada, and
perhaps more than in other cities,
it was indicated in a recent re­
port of the eastern supervisor,
Japanese Division.
A number of Nisei men and wo­
men have found employment as
stenographers, bookkeepers, stock­
keepers, many in the export and
import trade.
A very outstanding feature in
Montreal, said the report, was a
non-denominational hostel for girls
operated by the sisters of Christ
the King, at 3467 Ontario Avenue.
From two relocee girls resident
there in 1945, the number has
grown to eighteen. The residence
charge, including all meals, is
$1.00 per day.
Facilities for recreation are
provided and the girls are able
to give parties and hold small
dances.
The report pointed out that lack
of racial feeling in Montreal offers
greater opportunities for the chil­
dren of relocated families and for
this reason, as the housing short­
age ceases, it is probable that
more relocee families will be at­
tracted to this city.

h exist today in Japan. That information has been supplied by
G1 who was recently in Japan, and whose duties
were intimately connected with the study of present-day Japan in the
economic and social fields.

The New Canadian invited Sgt. Robert Kitajima to the office, and
ypent several hours asking him questions on almost every aspect of
living conditions in Japan. The result of that interview has been
featured this week.

Outside of few informations which the Sergeant could not disclose
due to reasons of military secrecy, he has given us a clear picture,
without minimizing any tactors, and without exaggeration. Sgt. Kita­
jima. it may be added, speaks Japanese fluently, and he has visited
Japan before the war; and. thus, has some background knowledge of
that country. If the report'will aid in preparing the repatriates for
what to expect in Japan, our efforts will have been well worth while.

Repatriation Details Revealed
Tashme Group Will Sail First

It is obviously not wise for the repatriates to depend too much on
Japanese currency. Goods are far more valuable, and we believe the
repatriates should take full advantage of the baggage allowance. Extra
clothing, shoes, blankets, and tools of trade should be given preference
over books and personal possessions which have more sentimental
than intrinsic value.
