Mr. Green on the Japanese
Mr. Howard Green. Progressive Conservative member from Van­
couver south, is concerned about the return of Japanese Canadians to
British Columbia coast. He warns of bloodshed if they are allowed to
re-enter the fishing industry. He is also worried lest the new Citizen­
ship Bill upset the government's deportation policy.
Mr. Green's forte is to paint the Japanese Canadians as incorrigible
villains who monopolize the fishing industries in B.C.. who are reso­
lutely loyal to the Japanese emperor, who cling like leeches to the
British Columbia soil, and would come flocking back to the coast as
soon as the control over their movements is lifted.

He conveniently ’ ignores the fact that 23,000 persons of Japanese
ancestry served with distinction in the U.S. armed forces, that there
are- some 200 Japanese Canadians in Canadian army uniforms, that
there would have been many* more.had they not been barred from
enlistment. Mr. Green also forgets that even in Hawaii, where on ethird the population is of Japanese ancestry’, not one Japanese has
been charged with sabotage or fifth column work.
The truth is that apart from their appearance, the Japanese are in
no way different from other immigrant groups, and their children are
Canadian in speech and outlook. That many of them signed for repat­
riation is due to the fact that they have been shamefully mistreated
during the war. and because they were required to state their choice
under highly unfavorable circumstances.
Mr. Green exaggerates the hatred that B.C. has for the Japanese
Canadians, and he is wrong in assuming that they wish to remain
concentrated in B.C.
Air. Green has grounds for fearing that the Citizenship Bill will
interfere with deportation plans. The deportation orders-in-council
makes possible wholesale compulsory deportation of a large group of
Japanese, including Canadian citizens. But the Citizenship Bill pro­
viaes that only those who committed crimes or who are disloyal can
be deported.

The question before us is whether persons of Japanese race are to
enjoy the same rights of citizenship as other Canadians, And if the
Japanese Canadians are to be made a special exception to the law.
what about the other minority groups?
contrary to Mr. Green's fears, nobody is trying to hold back the
Japanese who have not revoked their repatriation requests, and who
still wish to leave Canada'. In fact, the government is go ig ahead
with the plan of deporting these people in April or May. And there is
no objection. But those who are unwilling to go should be allowed the
privilege of living in Canada unless they are found deportable under
the laws which apply to Canadians of other races as well.
