Committee Acts to Remove
Ban on Entries into Toronto
Sy Defence Committee Correspondent
TORONTO Ont.—No provincial or municipal g-overnment has any legislative jurisdiction to restrict in anyway
the free movement of Canadian citizens, whatever may be
their racial origin, within Canada, stated Attorney General
Leslie Blackwell of Ontario to the Co-operative Committee
on Japanese Canadians.
The Committee has interpreted
this to mean that the govern
ment has no authority to exclude
Japanese Canadians from Toronto.
Mr. Blackwell’s statement was
contained in a reply to the Co
operative
Committee’s
petition
that the Ontario government, “state,
publicly Ontario’s responsibility
and willingness to accept the
citizenship and residence of Ca
nadians of Japanese origin on a
basis of equality with .Canadians
of other national origin.”
Replying for the Ontario govern-,
ment, Mr. Blackwell stated: “The
fact is that Canadian citizenship
and naturalization is within the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Dominion Government of Canada and
there is no co-operation required
by any provincial or municipal
government in Canada to enable
the Dominion Government to determine these matters within
exclusive, jurisdiction.”
TOO MUCH CONFUSION
“In my view there is already
altogether too much confusion in
this country about the responsi
bility of different governments and
for the Government of Ontario, I
certainly do not propose to add to
this confusion by creating the im
pression that there is some action
that the Ontario Government could
take to effect the solution of what
is a Dominion responsibility.”
Armed with this authoritative
statement from Attorney General
Blackwell, a delegation from the
Co-operative Committee waited on
G. E. Trueman, placement office
for the Japanese Division, Depart
ment of Labor, who, for the past
several years has excluded many
persons from Toronto on grounds
that objections from civic authori
ties had named Toronto a “closed
city” to the evacuees.
The delegation impressed Mr,
Trueman with the objectionable
nature of any exclusion and re
striction of movement by provin
cial or municipal bodies, and an
early change in policy is expected.
Avoid Concentration
Says Supervisor
' The policy of the Japanese Divi
sion is not to let. persons of Jap
anese race congregate in Winni
peg. and in that way avoid possi
bility of friction, it was explained
by Frank L. Ernst, local super
visor of the Japanese Division.
When asked if the Japanese
Division still had authority to con
trol the movement of Canadian
citizens, it was explained that per
sons of Japanese race are still re
quired to get permits before they
can make changes in residence,
and the power is retained under
the Emergency Powers Act.
The policy, however, according
to the supervisor.
not to use
compulsion, but to make the relocees understand ’ why it would
be unwise for them to come into
the city in large numbers, espe
cially now when the housing and
employment situation is difficult.
s an acute shortage of
domestic service, the supervisor
said, and Nisei girls may enter the
city to take this form of employ
ment. since no housing problem
would be involved. Positions can
easily be found for 200 more girls,
Mr. Ernst said, and average wages
are $35 to $40 a month plus board.
California Will Care for U.S.-Born
Minors Going to Japan with Parents
The State of California will
have the responsibility of car
ing for Americans of Japanese
ancestry who refused to re
nounce American citizenship,
but are joining their parents ot^
deportation ships to Japan, State
Director
of
Social
Welfare
Charles M. Wollenberg told the
Governor’s council on Jan. 28.
“We will have to care for them
out of our regular funds for needy
children,” "Wallenberg said.
Mr. Wollenberg also demanded
that The Federal government as
sume the financial responsibility
for the readjustment of returned
evacuees of Japanese ancestry
into California community' life.
Otherwise, the California taxpay
ers will have to pay out a sum
approximating 81.000.000.
The California social welfare
official said increased expense
may arise from country* hospital
costs and indigent aid.
Wollenberg paid tribute to re
turning evacuees of Japanese ancestry for efforts ‘To take care of
their own problems." Many who
have managed to get relocated are
taking less fortunate evacuees
into their homes, he indicated.
Full Employment
By Mid-Summer
By mid-summer, Canada is almost certain to have full employment. Responsible officials in Ot
tawa are unanimous in predicting
a period of high employment.
The latest statement was made
by Brooke Claxton, minister of
health and welfare, at a press con
ference in Washington. Mr. Clax
ton estimated Canada will reach
the “depth” of unemployment in
the next two ’months, and then
start upward. Reason for the in
creased employment are:
1. A floor under farm prices to
encourage production.
2. Expanded public works pro*
gram.
3. A billion dollar credit to for
eign countries, which will enable
them to buy Canadian goods.
4. Family allowance payments
will increase purchasing power.
Latest figures from the Depart
ment of Labor showed 223,00 un
employed in Canada, with 84,000.

Malacca Straits on September
11th. these Canadian-boin Nisei
sergeants have witnessed a string
if busy and momentous days.
At Kuala Lumpur, Malay's secend largest city, the “boys in
green," moving inland with the
I.F.B.U, (Indian Frontline Broad
casting Unit), assisted in'the delicate task of disarming the Japang^g ergrrison and safeguarding the
lives of the Japanese civilians
there.
A large measure of credit surely
goes - to vthese rough-and-tumble
youths whose proficiency in Japaneses proved a useful weapon in
dispelling- misunderstandings and
effecting-a smooth and peaceful
surrender,
First to barge into Singapore
after things’ quieted down in
Kuala' Lumpur was
Sergeant
MsnizaKr who rushed South down
the peninsula with orders to hop
ov&nue Java.
Tne occupation of airfields in
Java - bv Indonesian extremists,
however, snagged Nishizaki’s scheduled-rolhvas a “trouble-shooter”
and .tied-him down subsequently
io the task of helping the Psychological Warfare Division, (now
Political Warfare Division) issue
a weekly vernacular for Japamese
troops and internees. Sergeant
Yoshida blew into Singapore later
to assist Nishizaki, while Sakanishi, Oikawa and Suzuki are
nowj'with SEATIC (South East
Asia Translation Intelligence

Two weeks ago there appeared
the column “In Passing" in which
the author—obviously a malewaxes and wanes enthusiasm over
the "younger" and “older" sets "of
Niseis
and
Niseiettes.
By
"younger" he undoubtedly means
teen-agers while by “older" he
probably means the Niseis in their
twenties.
Though he doesn't actually sayso, he implies—and quite subtly
too—that the "older" set is any
thing but interesting and refresh
ing. Well. 1 agree with the author
in his enthusiasm over the younger
set. They do bring life, gaiety,
and a youthful, refreshing air to
gatherings. More power to them!
But there are a few things that
writer has overlooked or probably
hasn't thought of.
The writer says, "Watch the
young tittering girls trying to
“catch a boy-friend,” ... "their
all-conquering smile” . . . "the
mischievous glint in their eyes"
. . . These are the "interesting"
and “refreshing” qualities, I pre
sume. Well, my sainted aunts!
That’s all very well for the 'teen
age girls, but does he expect an
older girl—the working girl, the
“U” student—to carry on in this
manner?
If we “older" girls
“tittered” we'd be classified as
“silly, giddy, or dizzy." If we tried
to “catch a boy-friend” we'd be
labelled “wolverines." If we tried
putting on ' “the all-conquering
smile” we’d be dubbed “flirts." If
we showed any "mischievous
glint” in our eyes we'd be called
“scheming hussies,” or accused of
not acting our age.
If the writer and his “acquaint
ances” (also obviously- men) find
Niseiettes “dull,” do they think
all Nisei men are perfect? If a
man is worth drooling over, any
girl will show a spark of spon
taneity-, some honest-to-goodness
response. These critics should
take a look—yes, a good look—at
themselves.
~
What about the escort who,
danger or no danger, persists in
walking along the inside of the
street? What about the escort
who never offers to help a girl
with her coat, and who lets her
struggle alone while he lights a
cigarette, oblivious to whether an
arm or a leg-goes through milady s
coat sleeves? What about the
ardent gum addict whose incessant
and audible chewing is hardly'
conducive to a spontaneous or
shall we say “romantic'’ atmos
phere? And what about the man
who sits glued to his chair during
introductions?—-Yes, look at those
men and then ask why Niseiettes
are “dull.” Any girl will sparkle
when with a man who is courteous
and well-mannered. Those grip
ing males should brush up on
their etiquette and try it out on
some “dull” Niseiettes,
And as a last reminder to our
friend. Since when do you judge
a person or a group of persons
on social standards alone? Some
of the most interesting and in
spiring people don t know a
waltz from a fox-trot. Dances and
socials may bring out the finer
qualities of a person s nature or
disposition. But doesn t character
count? Perhaps if you judged
people by that, instead of looking
for the glitter in social butterflies,
you may come across some veryinteresting and refreshing people.
Why not look around?
