From the NEWS COMMENT
Editor, The New Canadian:
. . . The other day a friend told
me that she stretches her meagre
supply of rice by adding an equal
quantity of pearl barley. Let the
mixture soak for two or three
hours and cook in the usual man
ner. I’ve tried it and it really does,

Decide Carefully
Wk ■
The recent statement from the office of Prime Minister
Mackenzie King on the deportation question may be regarded
as unusually encouraging news. The Prime Minister stated
that action under the orders-in-council which provide for
deportation, will be suspended pending an appeal from the
Supreme Court judgment. The statement added that only
those who wish to go to Japan will be sent, and they will
be allowed the assistance provided in the orders-in-council.
Mr. King’s statement is significant in that no persons
are to be forcibly deported, pending the appeal, even if they
are Japanese nationals. It may be recalled that the Supreme
Court was unanimous in declaring that the Government
could deport the Japanese nationals. It is now apparent that
the hardships involved in deporting only the Japanese na
tionals and not their wives and children are, to some extent,
recognized by the Prime Minister.
The delay in the deportation proceeding will enable the
Japanese Canadians and their supporters to present their
case to the Canadian public, and to press for a revision of
the deportation policy. The New Canadian believes as it
has repeatedly stated that the repatriates who cancelled
their requests should be given an opportunity for individual
hearings. If the Government is approached with this rea
sonable proposal, it is difficult to imagine on what grounds
the government can turn it down.
*

*
*
*
With the Prime Minister’s statement, the problem cen
tres on those who have not cancelled their repatriation re
quests, and, who apparently still intend to go.to Japan.
For those who-have good reasons for going to Japan
there is no problem, but it is reported that some people in
the interior towns are still undecided. We.are concerned,
about the latter. The inability to follow the current news
and the lack of accurate information available in the inte
rior towns have led many Isseis to rely on rumors and mis
taken advice.
The policy of The New Canadian is not to please our
readers, but to state the truth to the best of our knowledge
—and it is now necessary to state our belief that conditions
in Japan are far worse than most of our readers realize.
Basing our conclusions on reports from far eastern corre
spondents of several reliable American newspaper, includ
ing the New York Times, and on our correspondence with
American soldiers who have actually been in Japan, we find
that the following condition prevails in Japan:
Japanese people are dying now in the cities from mal
nutrition and starvation. The present daily per capital food
allotment is 1,300 calories (below the minimum require
ment). and even this allotment will be impossible when the
present food stocks are depleted in May or June. The most
trying days for Japan lies ahead, and mass starvation is
almost inescapable.
For their own sake, and for the sake of their children,
it is important for the repatriates to think carefully about
their decision. At the present time, no person is being forced
to go to Japan; if they go. it will be from their free will.
The Kaslo Incident

Two hundred and twenty-one persons in Kaslo who were
awaiting relocation to .eastern Canada have received orders
to move to New Denver. The purpose of the orders was not
understandable to the evacuees involved, and to the local
citizens. _ A protest was made by the local board of trade
condemning the action as “expensive, inhuman and unnec

In a later letter written in Janu

does not show- it."
“At present I am employed by

receiving is insufficient to make
even a living."
The newspaper headlines -which
announced the decision of the
Supreme Court of Canada gave the
impression that the Government’s
policy of deportation of Japanese
Canadians had been approved by
the ""Supreme Court of Canada.
’ This is far from the fact, and
the first point of note is that a
majority of the court held that the
Orders-in-Council were ultra vires
of the Governor-in-Council in re
spect to one of the four groups to
be deported, namely, the wives and
children of those against whom
orders of deportation were made.
This happens to be the most num
erous of all the groups. In a state
ment made in Parliament on No
vember 21st, the Minister of
Labor stated that there -were alto
gether some 10,347 involved in the
voluntary requests, and an additional 500 Japanese Nationals who
did not sign the requests, but
who were liable to deportation,
Of this total' of approximately
11,000, the children under the age
of 16 represented 3,o00. A further
2,460 were Canadian-born, who
were given an opportunity under
the orders to revoke their re
quests to be sent to Japan.
The majority decision of the
Court is therefore that the Gov
ernment has no constitutional or
legal power to deport nearly half
of those actually affected by the
Orders.
INJUSTICE TO CHILDREN

Mr. Justice Estey in his judg

of the court’s decision that wives

deportation would require recon

a probable amendment to the
scheme. Second, the most important feature of the decision
was that the majority of he court
held that the Governor-in-Council
has no authority to deport Cana

powers conferred by the Parliament of Canada under the War
Measures Act. Mr. Justice Keilock and Mr. Justice Hand held
that this principle applies so far
as to invalidate the Order-in-Council in respect to the third group,
namely the 2,460 Canadian-born
citizens of the Japanese race. Mr.
Justice Estey and
Justice
Hudson, while accepting thee,

From the NEWS COMMENT
Editor, The New Canadian:
. . . The other day a friend told
me that she stretches her meagre
supply of rice by adding an equal
quantity of pearl barley. Let the
mixture soak for two or three
hours and cook in the usual man
ner. I’ve tried it and it really does,
help.
Hisaye Hayashi.
New Toronto, Ont.
Decide Carefully
Wk ■
The recent statement from the office of Prime Minister
Mackenzie King on the deportation question may be regarded
as unusually encouraging news. The Prime Minister stated
that action under the orders-in-council which provide for
deportation, will be suspended pending an appeal from the
Supreme Court judgment. The statement added that only
those who wish to go to Japan will be sent, and they will
be allowed the assistance provided in the orders-in-council.
Mr. King’s statement is significant in that no persons
are to be forcibly deported, pending the appeal, even if they
are Japanese nationals. It may be recalled that the Supreme
Court was unanimous in declaring that the Government
could deport the Japanese nationals. It is now apparent that
the hardships involved in deporting only the Japanese na
tionals and not their wives and children are, to some extent,
recognized by the Prime Minister.
The delay in the deportation proceeding will enable the
Japanese Canadians and their supporters to present their
case to the Canadian public, and to press for a revision of
the deportation policy. The New Canadian believes as it
has repeatedly stated that the repatriates who cancelled
their requests should be given an opportunity for individual
hearings. If the Government is approached with this rea
sonable proposal, it is difficult to imagine on what grounds
the government can turn it down.
*

*
*
*
With the Prime Minister’s statement, the problem cen
tres on those who have not cancelled their repatriation re
quests, and, who apparently still intend to go.to Japan.
For those who-have good reasons for going to Japan
there is no problem, but it is reported that some people in
the interior towns are still undecided. We.are concerned,
about the latter. The inability to follow the current news
and the lack of accurate information available in the inte
rior towns have led many Isseis to rely on rumors and mis
taken advice.
The policy of The New Canadian is not to please our
readers, but to state the truth to the best of our knowledge
—and it is now necessary to state our belief that conditions
in Japan are far worse than most of our readers realize.
Basing our conclusions on reports from far eastern corre
spondents of several reliable American newspaper, includ
ing the New York Times, and on our correspondence with
American soldiers who have actually been in Japan, we find
that the following condition prevails in Japan:
Japanese people are dying now in the cities from mal
nutrition and starvation. The present daily per capital food
allotment is 1,300 calories (below the minimum require
ment). and even this allotment will be impossible when the
present food stocks are depleted in May or June. The most
trying days for Japan lies ahead, and mass starvation is
almost inescapable.
For their own sake, and for the sake of their children,
it is important for the repatriates to think carefully about
their decision. At the present time, no person is being forced
to go to Japan; if they go. it will be from their free will.
The Kaslo Incident
jj
O
S
0
Two hundred and twenty-one persons in Kaslo who were
awaiting relocation to .eastern Canada have received orders
to move to New Denver. The purpose of the orders was not
understandable to the evacuees involved, and to the local
citizens. _ A protest was made by the local board of trade
condemning the action as “expensive, inhuman and unnec
essary.”
The Commissioner for Japanese Placement was appar
ently surprised when he heard about the protest. He found
a number of reasons to support the orders. He could not
see anything “inhuman” in it. He was acting in the inter
ests oi effecting economy. He was under pressure to release
the accommodations in Kaslo to war veterans.
We do not doubt that the Commissioner issued the orders
from the highest of motive^ but at the same time it seems
he has shown an ignorance of or a complete disregard for
the standpoint of the evacuees.
Those of us who have gone through the evacuation and
the subsequent moving around can share fully the feelings
of the Kaslo evacuees who have had more than their share
of being pushed around. It is bad enough to have to go
through the process of packing and unpacking of personal
belongings, and making adjustments in a new home, but it

The judgment of Mr. Justice
Kellock and Mr. Justice Rand
proceeded upon the principle that
to deport citizens is a violation
of the sovereign rights of anomer
state, contrary to International
Law and not contemplated in the
War Measures Act as a power
delegated to the cabinet.
Mr. Justice Kelock states that
deportation as use-d in the War
Measures Act is not apt in the
case of citizens who have com
mitted no offense and as to whom
there is no charge, no trial and
no conviction, nor is it apt in
■modern times in application to a
natural born citizen of a country.

OTTAWA—The National Coun

a telegram to Prime Minister King
urging that persons of Japanese
origin who signified their willing
ness to go to Japan be given “an
opportunity to alter this decision
before a judicial court,'’ Airs. Ed
gar D. Hardy, president of the
council, announced recently.
The telegram said the Supreme
Court decision upholding the gov
ernment's right to deport Japa
nese Canadians under the War
Measures Act was “a threat to
the rights of ail Canadian citizens
regardless of racial origin, and
asked the government “not to use
this poxver to deport law-abiding
people in time of peace.’’
It added that, at an executive
meeting of the council, members
“expressed their willingness to ac
cept their responsibility in the
distribution of Japanese Canadians
throughout the provinces of Can
ada."

liament for these Orders will De
raised.
The judgment of Mr. Justice
Kellock and Mr. Justice Rand
proceeded upon the principle that
to deport citizens is a violation
of the sovereign rights of anomer
state, contrary to International
Law and not contemplated in the
War Measures Act as a power
delegated to the cabinet.
Mr. Justice Kelock states that
deportation as use-d in the War
Measures Act is not apt in the
case of citizens who have com
mitted no offense and as to whom
there is no charge, no trial and
no conviction, nor is it apt in
■modern times in application to a
natural born citizen of a country.
The Co-operative Committee on
Japanese Canadians with branches
in most of the larger Canaaian
centres has already decided to ap
peal from the decision to me
Privy Council.
It may be well, however, tnat
before the appeal is heard, me
Government either on its own
volition or under the urging of
Parliament, will have withdrawn
or modified these uniortunau^
Orders for which there nas seen
no parallel in British constitu
tional history.

OTTAWA—The National Coun

a telegram to Prime Minister King
urging that persons of Japanese
origin who signified their willing
ness to go to Japan be given “an
opportunity to alter this decision
before a judicial court,'’ Airs. Ed
gar D. Hardy, president of the
council, announced recently.
The telegram said the Supreme
Court decision upholding the gov
ernment's right to deport Japa
nese Canadians under the War
Measures Act was “a threat to
the rights of ail Canadian citizens
regardless of racial origin, and
asked the government “not to use
this poxver to deport law-abiding
people in time of peace.’’
It added that, at an executive
meeting of the council, members
“expressed their willingness to ac
cept their responsibility in the
distribution of Japanese Canadians
throughout the provinces of Can
ada."
