"Japanese Problem” Can Be Solved
A delegation from the Co-operative Committee on Jap
anese Canadians has interviewed Prime Minister Mackenzie
King and government members in Ottawa. The delegation
requested two things. First, that the government revoke
the Orders-in-Council purporting to deport a large group of
Canadian Japanese, and failing that to refer the Orders to
the parliament for judgment. And second, that the govern
ment remove the restrictions that are now hindering the
movement of Japanese Canadians out of British Columbia.
The Prime Minister has replied that the Co-operative Com
mittee's requests would be given “serious consideration.”
Examination of the various facts involved in the current
“Japanese problem” would reveal that the Committee’s re
quests are most reasonable.
Under the Orders-in-Council, the Minister of Labor may
deport persons of Japanese race without proving them dis
loyal. No individual trials are provided. The Minister has
only to show that the deportees indicated their disloyalty
by “requesting” repatriation to Japan, requests, it should be
noted, were secured under very extraordinary circumstances.
If democratic principles are to be preserved in this in
stance, there should be an inquiry of the circumstances
under which as many as 45 percent of the total Japanese
population “requested” repatriation, only to revoke those
requests at a later date.

’
Up till now, the majority of evacuees have been dis
couraged from leaving British Columbia by fear of post-war
uncertainties and by the existence of numerous economic
and political restrictions which made theii’ resettlement in
eastern Canada a risky undertaking. Particularly was this
true in the case of fair-sized families. Most of those already
out of British Columbia had moved only after they had been
subjected to a certain amount of pressure. Last year, in its
zeal to disperse the rest of the British Columbia evacuees,
the government confronted them with a virtual ultimatum:
Move out of British Columbia or sign for repatriation. It
was for the most part under these circumstances that thou
sands of persons who had no intention of going- to Japan
chose what they regarded as the lesser of two evils and
signed for repatriation.
*****
The “Japanese problem” in Canada may be solved in one
of two ways. By deporting them or by dispersing them across
Canada. The government policy has apparently been to de
port n large pedion 01 them and thereby make the problem
of dispersal that much easier, and the removal of restrictions
are apparently being held up until after the deportations.
But forcible deportation without clear justification is some
thing that should not be allowed in a country professing to
be a democracy, and for attempting such a plan, the govern
ment lays itself open to serious criticism.
A fair solution to the present problem would be to deport
all those who still wish to go. If it is deemed advisable to
deport others, they should at least be given a fair trial. And
those remaining in Canada should be encouraged, not forced,
to move out of British Columbia.
Now that the war is over and the treatment of Japanese
Canadians in eastern Canada is better than that anticipated
by evacuees still in British Columbia, it is safe to assume
that the majority of them can be persuaded to leave British
Columbia. To bear this out. the evacuees in New Denver
(B.C.) settlement are now making a survey of jobs and
housing conditions in eastern Canada, with a view to de
termining the most suitable places for their future homes.
It 'is an important fact that most British Columbia
evacuees are not rooted in that province, but are living in
temporary centres under make-shift conditions. They would
be glad to resettle elsewhere if given a decent opportunity.
The government, on its part, should encourage the re
settlement, and help to solve the attending difficulties, in
stead of applying a series of pressure, as it has too often
done in the past-.
It is necessary, furthermore, for the government to show
its good faith by removing the unnecessary war-imposed
restrictions on Japanese Canadians, such as restrictions on
their rights to purchase property, to operate businesses, to
move freely, etc. It is necessary, in the case of needy
families, to extend some form of financial assistance. And
finallv. the government may well contemplate some plan of
aiding' the evacuees problem of securing housing in eastern
Canada.

"Japanese Problem” Can Be Solved
A delegation from the Co-operative Committee on Jap
anese Canadians has interviewed Prime Minister Mackenzie
King and government members in Ottawa. The delegation
requested two things. First, that the government revoke
the Orders-in-Council purporting to deport a large group of
Canadian Japanese, and failing that to refer the Orders to
the parliament for judgment. And second, that the govern
ment remove the restrictions that are now hindering the
movement of Japanese Canadians out of British Columbia.
The Prime Minister has replied that the Co-operative Com
mittee's requests would be given “serious consideration.”
Examination of the various facts involved in the current
“Japanese problem” would reveal that the Committee’s re
quests are most reasonable.
Under the Orders-in-Council, the Minister of Labor may
deport persons of Japanese race without proving them dis
loyal. No individual trials are provided. The Minister has
only to show that the deportees indicated their disloyalty
by “requesting” repatriation to Japan, requests, it should be
noted, were secured under very extraordinary circumstances.
If democratic principles are to be preserved in this in
stance, there should be an inquiry of the circumstances
under which as many as 45 percent of the total Japanese
population “requested” repatriation, only to revoke those
requests at a later date.
*
*

’
Up till now, the majority of evacuees have been dis
couraged from leaving British Columbia by fear of post-war
uncertainties and by the existence of numerous economic
and political restrictions which made theii’ resettlement in
eastern Canada a risky undertaking. Particularly was this
true in the case of fair-sized families. Most of those already
out of British Columbia had moved only after they had been
subjected to a certain amount of pressure. Last year, in its
zeal to disperse the rest of the British Columbia evacuees,
the government confronted them with a virtual ultimatum:
Move out of British Columbia or sign for repatriation. It
was for the most part under these circumstances that thou
sands of persons who had no intention of going- to Japan
chose what they regarded as the lesser of two evils and
signed for repatriation.

Chicken Teriyaki. The Nisei
Weekender recently gave a recipe
for a “special” Sunday chicken
dinner.
Here it is:
Cut a 3-lb. fryer into small
pieces and leave them for several
hours in a mixture of hz cop
shoyu, h cup sugar, dash of salt,
1 teaspoon ajinomoto, and crushed
clove of garlic (or substitute a.
teaspoon or so of chopped fresh
ginger). Bake in a shallow pan,
basting occasionally
witli the
sauce of broiling under a medium
flame. When done, the chicken
should be a luscious brown.
When using pork and beef
(sliced) or salmon (halved) either
broil or cook over direct flame
without previous soaking. An epi
curean dream is ika (squid) pre

claim teriyaki as being a finer del
