Application Forms Available For

WINNIPEG. Man.—Regulations which restricted persous of Japanese origin from purchasing land has been considembly eased, particularly in eastern Canada. Canadian
citizens of Japanese race may now make applications to the
Minister of Labor if they wish to purchase land, and application forms for the purpose are
available from local supervisors.

The New Canadian received the

in land purchase regulations from
eastern Canada. They have been
confirmed in Winnipeg, where two
applications have already be en received by the supervisor from
Manitoba evacuees.

There Is a Bright Side
An article in the March issue of Nisei Affairs, published
by the Japanese Canadian Committee for Democracy in
Toronto, gives an analysis of why the resettlement of Jap
anese Canadians in the prairies and eastern Canada can be
considered successful from the standpoint of permanence.
Two obvious nevertheless important reasons are ad
vanced to support this contention.
The first has to do with the manner in which evacuees
have been able to overcome any wartime ill-feeling and.
prejudice there existed against persons .of Japanese race,
.with the aid, of course, of many occidental friends. There
is no question that less Canadians are blindly prejudiced
against the Japanese Canadians today compared to the time
of Pearl Harbor. Even in the interior housing centres of
B.C. where local citizens have shown themselves to be model
good neighbors and champions of our cause in the deporta
tion question, it would not be surprising if they received
the evacuees at fii'st with suspicion and dislike.
The second, even more important reason, is the manner
in which evacuees have been able to enter various kinds of
employment on an equal basis with other Canadians.
• Today, the article points out, Japanese Canadians in
eastern Canada are employed in such widely diversified fields
of employment as electrical engineering, commercial art,
salon photography, photo finishing, accounting, machine
shop, electricity, radio, electronics, law, commercial fields,
hairdressing, social service, laboratory, teaching, printing
and woodworking. Nor is this list exhaustive.
It is unfortunate that the younger Niseis' are not
acquainted with the extremely unfavorable employment con
ditions that existed for the Japanese on the British Columbia
coast. It was rare indeed before evacuation to see a skilled
or a well-educated Nisei employed in a job where his capa
bilities were apreciated and utilized. In fact, it was not
unusual to find Nisei university graduates being employed
as farm hands or unskilled mill workers. The Japanese busi
ness men did not enjoy the same opportunities as the occi
dentals in the commercial life of the community. There was
a constant threat of license revocation or limitation. There
was fear of being squeezed out of certain types of employ
ment.
'
.
All that has disappeared with the evacuation. And it is
only in comparison with pre-evacuation conditions that we
can evaluate our changed status today.
In the political field, orientals are barred from franchise
in British Columbia. In the east, however, we can vote in
the civic and provincial elections, and since the war has
ended, we may look to an early removal of the restriction
that bars us from exercising our franchise in the federal
elections. All of these privileges indicate a great advance
in our status from pre-war days when one of the chief concern of Niseis was a struggle for franchise.
It is not intended here to suggest that Japanese Cana
dians enjoy equal opportunities in all fields. Probablv no
minority group can truthfully make that claim. But pros
pect of political and economic freedom for Japanese Cana
dians is brighter today than it ever has been.
As we emerge from the aftermath of the war and the
threat of deportation, it is to be hoped that the Japanese
Canadians will face the future with a renewed appreciation
_ of their privileges as Canadian citizens, and be prepared to
^protect those privileges by discharging their duties faith-

of Japanese affairs in Canada.
In the early days of evacuation
Ite was supervisor for the housing
centre at Sandou. He became
Known to a wider circle of evacuees on the prairies and northern
•Ontario as a travelling supervisor.
In 1944 he was promoted to the
position of the general manager.
At all times Mr. Lister stressed
the need of leaving the temporary
Jiousing centres of B.C. and be
coming established in eastern com
munities. That Mr. Lister sincere
ly believed relocation was in the
best interests of the evacuees and
offered the best and only practi
cal solution to their problems, no
one is likely to question.
Change Revealed in Government s Policy
Winnipeg, Man
Mr. Lister’s zeal in pushing re
location did not always meet with
encouraging response in the hous
ing centres. This was unfortunate,
although, under the circumstanc
es. understandable. But now that
the war is over and much of the
former uncertainties dispelled, the
majority of the people in the houscentres are beginning to realize the wisdom of relocating at
the earliest opportunity.
The New Canadian has followed
Mr. Lister’s work with interest.
We disagreed with him on some
policies. but agreed with him on
many more. Mr. Lister’s integrity
and ability has been above ques

There Is a Bright Side
An article in the March issue of Nisei Affairs, published
by the Japanese Canadian Committee for Democracy in
Toronto, gives an analysis of why the resettlement of Jap
anese Canadians in the prairies and eastern Canada can be
considered successful from the standpoint of permanence.
Two obvious nevertheless important reasons are ad
vanced to support this contention.
The first has to do with the manner in which evacuees
have been able to overcome any wartime ill-feeling and.
prejudice there existed against persons .of Japanese race,
.with the aid, of course, of many occidental friends. There
is no question that less Canadians are blindly prejudiced
against the Japanese Canadians today compared to the time
of Pearl Harbor. Even in the interior housing centres of
B.C. where local citizens have shown themselves to be model
good neighbors and champions of our cause in the deporta
tion question, it would not be surprising if they received
the evacuees at fii'st with suspicion and dislike.
The second, even more important reason, is the manner
in which evacuees have been able to enter various kinds of
employment on an equal basis with other Canadians.
• Today, the article points out, Japanese Canadians in
eastern Canada are employed in such widely diversified fields
of employment as electrical engineering, commercial art,
salon photography, photo finishing, accounting, machine
shop, electricity, radio, electronics, law, commercial fields,
hairdressing, social service, laboratory, teaching, printing
and woodworking. Nor is this list exhaustive.
It is unfortunate that the younger Niseis' are not
acquainted with the extremely unfavorable employment con
ditions that existed for the Japanese on the British Columbia
coast. It was rare indeed before evacuation to see a skilled
or a well-educated Nisei employed in a job where his capa
bilities were apreciated and utilized. In fact, it was not
unusual to find Nisei university graduates being employed
as farm hands or unskilled mill workers. The Japanese busi
ness men did not enjoy the same opportunities as the occi
dentals in the commercial life of the community. There was
a constant threat of license revocation or limitation. There
was fear of being squeezed out of certain types of employ
ment.
'
.
All that has disappeared with the evacuation. And it is
only in comparison with pre-evacuation conditions that we
can evaluate our changed status today.
In the political field, orientals are barred from franchise
in British Columbia. In the east, however, we can vote in
the civic and provincial elections, and since the war has
ended, we may look to an early removal of the restriction
that bars us from exercising our franchise in the federal
elections. All of these privileges indicate a great advance
in our status from pre-war days when one of the chief concern of Niseis was a struggle for franchise.
It is not intended here to suggest that Japanese Cana
dians enjoy equal opportunities in all fields. Probablv no
minority group can truthfully make that claim. But pros
pect of political and economic freedom for Japanese Cana
dians is brighter today than it ever has been.
As we emerge from the aftermath of the war and the
threat of deportation, it is to be hoped that the Japanese
Canadians will face the future with a renewed appreciation
_ of their privileges as Canadian citizens, and be prepared to
^protect those privileges by discharging their duties faith-

of Japanese affairs in Canada.
In the early days of evacuation
Ite was supervisor for the housing
centre at Sandou. He became
Known to a wider circle of evacuees on the prairies and northern
•Ontario as a travelling supervisor.
In 1944 he was promoted to the
position of the general manager.
At all times Mr. Lister stressed
the need of leaving the temporary
Jiousing centres of B.C. and be
coming established in eastern com
munities. That Mr. Lister sincere
ly believed relocation was in the
best interests of the evacuees and
offered the best and only practi
cal solution to their problems, no
one is likely to question.
Change Revealed in Government s Policy
Winnipeg, Man
Mr. Lister’s zeal in pushing re
location did not always meet with
encouraging response in the hous
ing centres. This was unfortunate,
although, under the circumstanc
es. understandable. But now that
the war is over and much of the
former uncertainties dispelled, the
majority of the people in the houscentres are beginning to realize the wisdom of relocating at
the earliest opportunity.
The New Canadian has followed
Mr. Lister’s work with interest.
We disagreed with him on some
policies. but agreed with him on
many more. Mr. Lister’s integrity
and ability has been above ques

Just then things began to hap■Deli. Sale sirls brought out signs

hie throng. Then a sign was put

I crowd. I wondered if I even stood
|a chance of getting a pair. How
ever the crowd grew in size, and
h soon found myself no longer on
Ithe edge'but in the centre of the
(fray. Being none’too tall, I found
ithe air slightly stifling, and stood
i on tiptoe, partly for fresh air, but
I mostly for a glimpse at my obHective. Suddenly, my hair caught
Ion somebody’s coat button. Some-
body pushed his elbow in
while some stray elbows prodded
me in the ribs. The only heart ening thing was that I was
the counter. Soon, despite all the
pushing, pulling, mauling and el
bow-ramming, I reached the coun
ter.
Apparently, on reaching the
counter, everyone forgot about be
ing. a lady' or a gentleman. Cave
man instincts came to the fore,
and it was plainly every man for
himself. And when the supply’ of
precious nylons dwindles rapidly
before your eyes, it is so easy- to
fling propriety’ and decency to the
four winds. Thus, people waved
money’ at the poor clerks and
yelled for their sizes.
Remembering to buy’ nylons a
half-size larger than rayon hose,
I finally’ made my purchase. Heav
ing a sigh of relief I prepared to
leave. Then I found that in this
hectic nylon warfare, advancing
is easier than withdrawing, The
women behind me made my withdrawal almost impossible. The
one at my. left elbow forcibly en
couraged me to leave by’ pushing
my’ way out to the right so that
she could maneuver herself into
my place. The one at my right
elbow wanted me to do the exact
opposite, for the same reason. So
there I was—stuck!
After shedding some weight,
somehow I reached civilization—
with rumpled, coat, dishevelled
hair, but with:my mission accom
plished. Peering into the bag, I
literally’ drooled over the beauti
ful treasure—they’ were worth the
battle! And I’d do it all over
again, if—and only if—they’re ny
lons. In the meantime—oh happy
day!
