The Proposed Federation
It is encouraging to note in recent months a steadily growing unity
among the Japanese Canadians in their struggle to achieve unques
tioned status as Canadian citizens.
The latest development along this line is the proposed federation
of all Japanese Canadian organizations throughout Canada, plans for
which are now being studied by the Citizenship Defence Committee
in Toronto.
The federation may be expected to take the form of various Jap
anese Canadian organizations co-ordinating its actions towards com
mon objectives under the guidance of a national committee which will
probably be located in Toronto.
Much of the leadership for the proposed federation must come from
the Niseis, and this fact is generally recognized by the Isseis. The
Isseis too will have an important role to play in backing tip with
their experience and advice the Nisei leaders.
The plan for the federation when completed by the Toronto Com
mittee merits the attention and support of all Japanese Canadian groups.
*
The need for a federation has been felt acutely in the present
st niggle to prevent compulsory deportation of several thousand Jap
anese Canadians, but equally important tasks lie ahead.
A fair settlement must he sought on the properties which have
keen confiscated and sold. The Japanese Canadians must press for
the restoration of their citizenship rights which are still withheld.
Cne of the greatest tasks is to work towards the ultimate resettle
ment of ghost town evacuees into normal societies.
The chief weakness of the evacuees in the past has been their
inability to coinhat effectively the misrepresentations and false aecusaxious that have been made against them.
In the matter of signing repatriation requests, an impression has
Loen given from official sources that the evacuees signed those forms
willingly. No indication lias been given of the extraordinary circum
stances under which the evacuees, were required to make their de
cisions, and the inducements offered by the government to make them
sign.
In the matter of eastern relocation too. the general impression on
the coast is that the evacuees are so fond of B.C. that they refuse to
budge from the interior towns. Little publicity has been given to the
difficulties and the obstacles that have hindered the re-establishment
of evacuees who certainly do not want to remain indefinitely in the
temporary c e n t r e s.
The national committee must apply all its skill to combat false
propaganda, and to reveal to the Canadian public that the Japanese
Canadians are law-abiding and loyal Canadian citizens, eager to share
in all the rights and to fulfill all the duties that are implied in their
citizenship.
it must bring to the attention of the proper authorities, and if
necessary, before the Canadian public, the handicaps ami obstacles that
new lie in the way of a successful solution to the “Japanese problem."
and suggest ways to eliminate those barriers.
It must guide the evacuees in the way of good citizenshir and secure
their fullest co-operation in the solution to their problems of re
establishment.
It is rather unfortunate that circumstances make it necessary to
oppose a government policy at this time in the matter of compulsory
deportation. We cannot of course hack down on the deportation issue
which involves our basic rights. But as a. matter of general policy,
we expect that the proposed federation will adopt a policy of co
operation with the government rather than that of agitation.
What Price Citizenship?
From the Time Magazine
Civil liberties, the rights of Ca
nadian dtitenshin itself, were it
stake in the Supreme Court's de
cision. That was plainly the signifieance of the ruling handed
down last week by red-robed Chief
Justice Thibaudeau Rinfrot and
his six colleagues in the Japanese
deportation case.
Behind the ease lay the yearslong antagonism to Japanese in
British Columbia and the wavstimulated hostility to every son
and grandson of Nippon.
More
immediately the ease' stemmed
from a wartime survey of Jap
anese in the' Dominion.: 2.923 Jap
nationals. 1.461 naturalized Cnuadinns and 2.460 native-born Cana
dians ^acting for some 3.500 chil
dren. most of them Canadian-born'
had Signed requests to be deported.
Many Canadians had eyed the
survey with suspicion, in the be
lief that the government had laid
a bewildered minority across the
barrel, had made post-war life in
Canada uninviting.
Tide of Opinion. Last December.
when a rising tide ci public opin
ion forced a partial backdown, the
government shoved through three
orders in council ^decrees'’ to
umy out the deportations.
In
them, the government agreed that
Canadian-born adults, and natural
ized Canadians who before V-J
day had revoked their requests
for deportation could change their
minds. All others would have to
Canadian liberals, among them
the influential Co-operative Com
mittee on Japanese- Canadians,
opposed the plan, argued that it
still included Canadian citizens
whose only crime was their Jap
anese origin.
Sparkplugced by
three influential newspapers —
Toronto Saturday Night. Toronto
Star. Winnipeg Bree Dress — the
committee forced the government
to a Supreme Court test of the
orders in council.
Last week the Supreme Court,
ruling not on the moral issue but
only on a point of law. gave the
government a green light. The
opposition gained cue point: four
of the sever, judges vetoed the

Editor, i he New Canadian:
I wonder why they say Japan
ese can never be assimilated.
Just look at the way G.l.'s in
Japan are fraternizing with Jap
anese girls. If they can do that
I don't see why we can't be assi
milated.
Sometimes I wish God
could just take away our oriental
physical characteristics and see
what would happen.
That writer of Caprice has or
must have had lots of experience
with beys. Golly, what would the
world be like if the men were per
Saturday, March 9. 151.
fect? I'm sure the girls wouldn't
be able to stand it, so why not

now?

Brantford, Ont,
In Passing
by k.m.
A motor accident in Ontario re
cently took monstrous proportions
when a woman motorist drove up
-to the scene. The well meaning
woman stopped to see if she could
help, and watched as two tow
trucks tried to pull apart auto
mobiles with their engines jammed
together in a head-on collision.
The ill-fated drivers, police offi
cers and a few spectators stood
on the roadway, which was soaked
with gasoline.
The lady in question took a last
drag at her cigarette, and care
lessly threw away the stub to the
roadway.
Two tow trucks, two
automobiles, and the roadway in
stantly burst into flame after an
explosion that sent flames 50 feet
into the air. The woman left, and
■'spectators fled. The police chief
complained when his shoes caught
on fire.
Nobody was injured in the fire,
although several hundred dollars
damage was done to the automo
biles.
All of which goes to show that
at least one woman is capable of
destroying cars without actually
being the driver herself.
Over the Backyard Fence...
By TOM MORITA
Those of you who are not resi
dents of Toronto may have won
dered about the scenes behind
today’s headlines on the deporta
tion issue. Pages have been de
voted by a Toronto newspaper
showing pictures of pretty east
ern Nisei girls, and how they are
affected by . the deportation of
their friends, and relatives and
parents. A cynic may take this
as
sob-sisterism,
but
to this
writer, it appears a sincere at
tempt to reveal the human side
of an important problem.
An open meeting at Carlton
United Church recently passed a
resolution asking the federal gov
ernment to give up its deporta
tion policy. What is an eastern
protest meeting like? Who goes,
who speaks, and who leaves?
Who goes to these meetings?
As you look over the audience of
some 700 persons crowded into
the church, you notice a liberal
sprinkling of youthful faces. The
deportation issue affects the min
ority groups, and you notice that
they are well represented. Lead
ers of Jews. Negroes. Chinese, and
European racial groups are 'lend
ing attentive ears. They in turn
will address their groups on the
injustices involved in the depor
tation issue.
Watch a colored man bowed in
thought, then lifting his head —
lifting it with fires of liberty and
pride in his eyes.
An Irishman
nodding his head, feeling the
stigmas that the world casts too
otter, on the defenceless mincri-
Labor Minister's sweeping power
to force wives and children under
16 to join deportees unwillingly.
The Co-operative Committee im
mediately announced that it would
carry the fight to a higher author
ity—the Privy Council in London.
The real issue that the Privy
Conner; would determine related
only incidentally to Canada's Jap
anese. The real issue was this:
if the government could take away
the rights mid citizenship of one
minority, why not from others
also? And then what value would
citizenship carry?
ties. A young Jewess conscien
tiously raking notes, biting her
lips.
Oh Canada, if you could,
only see what you are doing to
youthful ideals.
Who speaks?
Picture a tall,
lean man well along in years, and
whose speech indicates that lie
has been in the pulpit for a good
many years. He is unshaken in
his belief that justice should pre
vail. There is conviction in his
voice, and his low pitched voice
carries an earnest message to
everyone in the audience. He is
the chairman. Rev. J. M. Finlay.
With clear-cut logic. Andrew
Brewin argues the case for the
Japanese Canadians. The ordersin-council were wrong, he says,
because they provided for punish
ment without cause, were based
on racial prejudice, impugned the
value of Canadian citizenship, ana
represented a threat to every minority group in Canada.
C. H. Millard is the Canadian
director of United Steelworkers
(C.i.O.)
Speaking without notes,
and like a veteran labor leader,
ne places the issue squarely betoie the audience. Then he chal
lenges business to show its Chris
tianity by opposing the deporta
tion.
He reads a telegram con
demning the deportation moves,
sent by his organization to the
prime minister. “This exempli
fies the Christian spirit of die
labor movement." he says.
In quiet reasonable tones. Hugh
MacMillan denounces the depor
tation as “a Nazi-like threat to
Canadian democracy planned at a
time when Canadian men and
women are returning from fight
ing that sort of thing."
Who leaves? An audience de
termined to fight against the glar
ing
injustices.
An
audience
believing that they will win in
this fight for the Japanese Can
adians. and for themselves. Some
Niseis are noticed filtering out
from the audience. They lift their
heads high. They are ^elj on the
road to assimilation and complete
acceptance as Canadian citizens.
And they are determined to fight
through this deportation, because
in this issue their future is at
stake.

The Proposed Federation
It is encouraging to note in recent months a steadily growing unity
among the Japanese Canadians in their struggle to achieve unques
tioned status as Canadian citizens.
The latest development along this line is the proposed federation
of all Japanese Canadian organizations throughout Canada, plans for
which are now being studied by the Citizenship Defence Committee
in Toronto.
The federation may be expected to take the form of various Jap
anese Canadian organizations co-ordinating its actions towards com
mon objectives under the guidance of a national committee which will
probably be located in Toronto.
Much of the leadership for the proposed federation must come from
the Niseis, and this fact is generally recognized by the Isseis. The
Isseis too will have an important role to play in backing tip with
their experience and advice the Nisei leaders.
The plan for the federation when completed by the Toronto Com
mittee merits the attention and support of all Japanese Canadian groups.
*
The need for a federation has been felt acutely in the present
st niggle to prevent compulsory deportation of several thousand Jap
anese Canadians, but equally important tasks lie ahead.
A fair settlement must he sought on the properties which have
keen confiscated and sold. The Japanese Canadians must press for
the restoration of their citizenship rights which are still withheld.
Cne of the greatest tasks is to work towards the ultimate resettle
ment of ghost town evacuees into normal societies.
The chief weakness of the evacuees in the past has been their
inability to coinhat effectively the misrepresentations and false aecusaxious that have been made against them.
In the matter of signing repatriation requests, an impression has
Loen given from official sources that the evacuees signed those forms
willingly. No indication lias been given of the extraordinary circum
stances under which the evacuees, were required to make their de
cisions, and the inducements offered by the government to make them
sign.
In the matter of eastern relocation too. the general impression on
the coast is that the evacuees are so fond of B.C. that they refuse to
budge from the interior towns. Little publicity has been given to the
difficulties and the obstacles that have hindered the re-establishment
of evacuees who certainly do not want to remain indefinitely in the
temporary c e n t r e s.
The national committee must apply all its skill to combat false
propaganda, and to reveal to the Canadian public that the Japanese
Canadians are law-abiding and loyal Canadian citizens, eager to share
in all the rights and to fulfill all the duties that are implied in their
citizenship.
it must bring to the attention of the proper authorities, and if
necessary, before the Canadian public, the handicaps ami obstacles that
new lie in the way of a successful solution to the “Japanese problem."
and suggest ways to eliminate those barriers.
It must guide the evacuees in the way of good citizenshir and secure
their fullest co-operation in the solution to their problems of re
establishment.
It is rather unfortunate that circumstances make it necessary to
oppose a government policy at this time in the matter of compulsory
deportation. We cannot of course hack down on the deportation issue
which involves our basic rights. But as a. matter of general policy,
we expect that the proposed federation will adopt a policy of co
operation with the government rather than that of agitation.
What Price Citizenship?
From the Time Magazine
Civil liberties, the rights of Ca
nadian dtitenshin itself, were it
stake in the Supreme Court's de
cision. That was plainly the signifieance of the ruling handed
down last week by red-robed Chief
Justice Thibaudeau Rinfrot and
his six colleagues in the Japanese
deportation case.
Behind the ease lay the yearslong antagonism to Japanese in
British Columbia and the wavstimulated hostility to every son
and grandson of Nippon.
More
immediately the ease' stemmed
from a wartime survey of Jap
anese in the' Dominion.: 2.923 Jap
nationals. 1.461 naturalized Cnuadinns and 2.460 native-born Cana
dians ^acting for some 3.500 chil
dren. most of them Canadian-born'
had Signed requests to be deported.
Many Canadians had eyed the
survey with suspicion, in the be
lief that the government had laid
a bewildered minority across the
barrel, had made post-war life in
Canada uninviting.
Tide of Opinion. Last December.
when a rising tide ci public opin
ion forced a partial backdown, the
government shoved through three
orders in council ^decrees'’ to
umy out the deportations.
In
them, the government agreed that
Canadian-born adults, and natural
ized Canadians who before V-J
day had revoked their requests
for deportation could change their
minds. All others would have to
Canadian liberals, among them
the influential Co-operative Com
mittee on Japanese- Canadians,
opposed the plan, argued that it
still included Canadian citizens
whose only crime was their Jap
anese origin.
Sparkplugced by
three influential newspapers —
Toronto Saturday Night. Toronto
Star. Winnipeg Bree Dress — the
committee forced the government
to a Supreme Court test of the
orders in council.
Last week the Supreme Court,
ruling not on the moral issue but
only on a point of law. gave the
government a green light. The
opposition gained cue point: four
of the sever, judges vetoed the

LEAVES CANADA. Ou a dis
mal. cold morning of Feb. S. we
hade farewell to Canada on the
next stage of our long trip. The
snip seemed quite vacant with a
passenger list of only about fee
persons, all servicemen except for
a handful of civilians. Everyone
had premonitions cf getting sick
and paying frequent visits to the
rail. They were each one. secret
ly. just waiting for the next fellow
to get sick, while at the same
time wondering when he would
start to get that awful feeling.
However, we failed to understand
the unpredcitable workings of the
w ea t h erm a n ( a s u s u a 1) w It o b 1 es s ed us with perfect weather all the
way across.
SEAUTY OF NATURE. During
the voyage, there as not very much
to do and less to see. One thing
they did see was water and plenty
of it. It’s simply amazing how
much water there is in the ocean.
On two of the five nights we spent
on the ship, the weather was clear
and the boys spent the early part
of the evening on deck just gazing
at the moon and the sea. Part of
the day was spent in studying
(believe it or noth The rest in
reading, sleeping, or on deck gaz
ing at the boundless rolling sea.
Nature has not failed in adding
beauty to the sea for the pleasure
of the lonesome mariner.
The
ship's wake under ideal weather
conditions is a thing of beauty.
The ripples and eddies created by
the ship as it cuts through the
glossy surface of the water is like
turquoise colored tresses of mi
lady's coiffure, as it rolls out from
the prow, to be rolled around and
under by the incoming wave end
ing in form, powdery and white
like new-fallen snow. Our quarters
on the ship were two and three
decker beds crammed into former
sta tearooms.
Here we had our
first taste of-English cooking and
we were not favorably impressed,
although it must be admitted that
England is still Quite short, ot food.
REACHES ENGLAND. On the
5th night, we saw the tights or
Land's End in the darkness, and
the following morning we entered
the "salent" — the entrance to
Southampton Harbor. This was
our first glimpse of England, and
there still remain many visible
signs of the devastating bombing
raids. As we entered the haroor.
we were greeted by a sign: "ro
cur American frienas—Gooo-bye—
Good Luck — We will remenmer
you." which was a fitting tribute
not only to their great contribu
tions to victory, but also to the
great influence the amazing harms
have had on ..the English society.
As the ship docked we were met
hv the press, who took pictures
and pried us for in term at ion which
appeared in -a number ot tue
dailies.
And so we arrived in England
and placed our sea-weary tegs on
"Terra Firms" again.

speech from the throne at thn
opening of the second session of

of the change in the character of

occurred to a Canadian govern

LEAVES CANADA. Ou a dis
mal. cold morning of Feb. S. we
hade farewell to Canada on the
next stage of our long trip. The
snip seemed quite vacant with a
passenger list of only about fee
persons, all servicemen except for
a handful of civilians. Everyone
had premonitions cf getting sick
and paying frequent visits to the
rail. They were each one. secret
ly. just waiting for the next fellow
to get sick, while at the same
time wondering when he would
start to get that awful feeling.
However, we failed to understand
the unpredcitable workings of the
w ea t h erm a n ( a s u s u a 1) w It o b 1 es s ed us with perfect weather all the
way across.
SEAUTY OF NATURE. During
the voyage, there as not very much
to do and less to see. One thing
they did see was water and plenty
of it. It’s simply amazing how
much water there is in the ocean.
On two of the five nights we spent
on the ship, the weather was clear
and the boys spent the early part
of the evening on deck just gazing
at the moon and the sea. Part of
the day was spent in studying
(believe it or noth The rest in
reading, sleeping, or on deck gaz
ing at the boundless rolling sea.
Nature has not failed in adding
beauty to the sea for the pleasure
of the lonesome mariner.
The
ship's wake under ideal weather
conditions is a thing of beauty.
The ripples and eddies created by
the ship as it cuts through the
glossy surface of the water is like
turquoise colored tresses of mi
lady's coiffure, as it rolls out from
the prow, to be rolled around and
under by the incoming wave end
ing in form, powdery and white
like new-fallen snow. Our quarters
on the ship were two and three
decker beds crammed into former
sta tearooms.
Here we had our
first taste of-English cooking and
we were not favorably impressed,
although it must be admitted that
England is still Quite short, ot food.
REACHES ENGLAND. On the
5th night, we saw the tights or
Land's End in the darkness, and
the following morning we entered
the "salent" — the entrance to
Southampton Harbor. This was
our first glimpse of England, and
there still remain many visible
signs of the devastating bombing
raids. As we entered the haroor.
we were greeted by a sign: "ro
cur American frienas—Gooo-bye—
Good Luck — We will remenmer
you." which was a fitting tribute
not only to their great contribu
tions to victory, but also to the
great influence the amazing harms
have had on ..the English society.
As the ship docked we were met
hv the press, who took pictures
and pried us for in term at ion which

And so we arrived in England

MONTREAL. P.Q.—On Feb. 22
the Nisei Fellowship Group held
a discussion led by Michael Hoshiko, our psychology, student, on
the topic, "Getting Away From
the Narrow-minded Petty Conven

ions were expressed freely.
After the discussion the social
hour was conducted by Ralph
Horiuchi who had all the members doing crazy things. The
"Poily Wants a Cracker” contest
left all the boys gasping for water,
and the banana eating contest got
all the members into near hys

antics trying to eat bananas with
their hands behind their backs.
