citizenship
T status of the Canadian-Sbrn subjects or Canadian citizen
persons proceeding to Japanjwith
their families continues to be a
source. of. concern especially, to
people in the interior towns of
British Columbia where there are
still a number of prospective repatriate families.
Repeated inquiries addressed to
officials in Ottawa on the matter
have so far resulted in no definite
answer, and it is now held un
likely that there will be a definite
answer before the departure of
the first two contingents for
Japan.
Under ordinary circumstances,
it is not possible for a Canadianborn person to lose his citizenship
through renunciation or for the
government to revoke it.
Two factors, however, serve to
make the case of the Canadianborn repatriates a special one in
which the government may find
justification for taking an un
usually drastic action.
HE FIRST of these factors is
is the nature of the repatria
tion request forms signed by the
repatriates, and the fact that they
were signed while Canada and
Japan -were still at war.

citizenship
T status of the Canadian-Sbrn subjects or Canadian citizen
persons proceeding to Japanjwith
their families continues to be a
source. of. concern especially, to
people in the interior towns of
British Columbia where there are
still a number of prospective repatriate families.
Repeated inquiries addressed to
officials in Ottawa on the matter
have so far resulted in no definite
answer, and it is now held un
likely that there will be a definite
answer before the departure of
the first two contingents for
Japan.
Under ordinary circumstances,
it is not possible for a Canadianborn person to lose his citizenship
through renunciation or for the
government to revoke it.
Two factors, however, serve to
make the case of the Canadianborn repatriates a special one in
which the government may find
justification for taking an un
usually drastic action.
HE FIRST of these factors is
is the nature of the repatria
tion request forms signed by the
repatriates, and the fact that they
were signed while Canada and
Japan -were still at war.
The forms provided as follows:

^t better. Our worldly educa
tion took a great step forward
^en we boarded the merchant
aircraft-carrier, the Empire MacKendrick, at Montreal for Livertoo!. The Scotch are the salt of
rhe earth. They come no better.
In fact, I will admit I’m partly
Scotch myself following what is
usually referred to as the “Scot
tish Night of the Empire MacKendrick.”
On the Empire MacKendrick,
the five Nise.i sergeants had two
rooms and their own mess. In this
mess, CSM Hunter, Sgt. Ito, Sgt.
Yatabe and Sgt. Oue were having
a quiet rubber of bridge one
Thursday night. The ship was
anchored sixteen miles from Liver
pool in the Mersey Bar and had
been there for two days, muchto
the impatience of passengers and
crew alike.
At about 10 o’clock in the eve
ning. when tea was being enjoyed
by the bridge players, loud and
lusty singing was heard from the
crew’s quarters. Soon, in rolled
the steward and the ship carpen
ter, the latter a burly fellow7 w’ith
thick muscular wrists and enor
mous hands. He had a windjam
mer tattooed on his right hand.
Sit down, we invited and they
sat down.' They were in a happy
mood indeed . . . rather pink.
Forty bottles of beer, boasted
Chips.
Forty between you two? we
asked.
Forty bottles each. Forty7 for
Joe, said Chips, indicating the
steward. Forty7 for the bos’n.
Forty for me. We gazed at them
in open admiration. As hospitable
hosts, we opened conversation.
How big is Liverpool, we hap
pened to ask.

and suddenly stood up and sang
the immortal and stirring strains
“Scots Wha Hae.” Up jumped the
carpenter, made motions of blow
ing an invisible bagpipe, emitting
queer sounds which sounded like
the braying of a donkey. Shakily
at opportune moments he gave
salutes. At conclusion we cheered
■wildly, banged the table with our
cups for more. Other Scottish
songs followed. Ay, it was a good
time we had.
Singing “Auld Lang Syne’’ hold
ing hands together we broke up
at two in the morning. Carpenter
McFarlane extended invitations to
his Edinburgh home, slapped our
backs, shook hands, handed out
cigarettes and nearly7 lost his false
teeth in the excitement. Three
cheers for Scotland, we yelled and
ended the night in a series of hoorays.

We Remember
By T.A.M.
A tribute to Margaret Kudo,
who passed away at Leth
bridge on June 6th, 1945.
A year has gone by since we
received the telegram which,
though not unexpected, filled us
with sorrow7. It was not a long
telegram. It simply7 stated that
she had passed away. Just a few7
words, but they7 recalled many
memories.
We remember her as a child,
happy7 and friendly with twinkling
eyes and an appealing smile. She
was always polite and thoughtful
of the comfort of the many7 visitors
received by7 her father in their
little home by7 the old school.
There came the w7ar, the evacu
ation to Alberta and then the be
ginning of her long illness. We
remember her struggling to regain
her health, and with sorrow-, we
w-atched her slowly losing ground
until her ebbing strength confined
her to a hospital bed.
We remember the long periods
of pain and suffering which she
bore with quiet courage and the
cheerful smile which greeted her
many visitors and well-wishers,
endearing her to all who had the
honor of knowing her.
We remember her fighting heart
and the will to live which sus
tained her long after the doctor
had given up hope, until finally,
even her courageous heart could
struggle no more and death
brought merciful release.
.Yes, we remember all this—and
remembering, we pay tribute to
-the memory7 of our dear friend,
Margaret.

''Organization"
By N.B.E.
There always comes a time
when your mind falls into a. par
ticular mood or along some. line
of thought, clinging to memories
or the past with all the tenacity
of a stubborn barnacle. You don't
have to feel melacholy to fall into
these reminiscent, somewhat wist
ful spells, for you can reminisce
happily too.
On Sunday, I reminisced. Maybe
it. was because it was Decoration
Day. but I kept thinking of my lost
childhood
friends
and school
chums. And as the parade swept
by, my thoughts went back to care
free high school days when life
meant laughter and fun. and when
our woes were nothing larger than
unrequited puppy- love, homework,
detentions and distasteful sub
jects. Life was a bed of roses, and
though we were aware of world
affairs through our studies of cur
rent events, our biggest concern
was whether our team would win
the basketball game or that cru
cial rugby7 game. And while Hitler
marched through Austria, Czecho
slovakia, and when Chamberlain
returned from Munich, hailing,
“Peace in our time,” we worried
about, our star football player's
sprained ankle or Tech’s starry
fullback.
And so our high school days
whizzed by. Then came 1939 and
during the early7 days of the war
we turned our efforts and energies
to Red Cross work or Cadet Corps.
We ran to classroom windows to
admire the cavalry- unit passing
our school. We laughed at the boys’
awkward attempts at marching in
formation. We collected maga
zines, and raised penny- funds. We
saw France and the Low Countries
invaded, and abandoned algebra
for a discussion with Mr. “Mac.”
And so, on towards graduation
with class breakfasts, the valedic
tory, the tea, dance, and good-byes
to favorite teachers . . .
Then one by one the boys joined
up. It was hard to believe that
these uniformed friends were the
same ones I’d squabbled with,
who’d dipped my ringlets into the
ink-well in grade four, or who’d
sent that cute Valentine. One by
one they- left, looking smart and
trim in uniforms of khaki, navy
and air force blue. We wrote to
them, spilling all the gossip . . .
Jim joined up . . . Mr. Jones broke
his left leg . . . Pifie had six pup
pies . . . the old school put on “The
Gondoliers.”
Then came Dieppe, with the
Cameron Highlanders in on it. We
anxiously- scanned lists of those
who were safe. And how we cele
brated when Les and Gordie wired
they were safe! But sad news
came too. Laurie was reported
“missing in action” after a mis
sion over Germany. Then Jim was
reported
missing,
and
later,
Laurie’s younger brother Sid.
Then as time went by, they- were
all “presumed dead.” And at the
end of the war, they failed to turn
up.
A section from a draft report submitted to the Ontario
Provincial Conference by the Toronto Defence Committee.
At a recent Provincial Confer
ence of Japanese organizations
and representatives in Ontario, the
Toronto Citizenship Defence Com
mittee submitted a draft report
c o v e r i n g the organizations,
finances, and functions of the pro
vincial organization and the pro
posed national federation.
The draft supplies much factual
and interpretative data.
The contents of the report will
be published in this and succeed
ing issues. Following is an excerpt
from the draft, under the section
“Organization” (of Provincial or
ganization).
*
♦
*
During the past four years, the
Japanese people in Ontario have
formed organizations in their re
spective areas. Some were for
specialized purposes such as re
ligious worship, for recreation,
and for political action. They were
formed, in all instances, by groups
of people who joined together to
pursue a common interest. Group
leaders, executive members, and
the membership iu. general, have
given their attention to develop a
variety of programs which are of
interest to the members.
The increasing number of Jap
anese in Ontario during the past
two years has led us to believe'
that advantages can be gained byco-ordinating and unifying our
activity. More recently, when a
large number of persons were
threatened with deportation, we
have required funds for legal ac
tion. In dur province-wide appeal
for donations, we have seen the
need for a single organization for
the whole area. With permanent
settlement, more stable conditions,
and an increasing influx of people,
the need for an organization to
promote a long range policy, be
comes imperative.
Our first purpose is to become
an integral functioning part of the
democratic community, and to
share in all responsibilities and
privileges with the rest of the pop
ulation. We shall co-operate with
all organizations -which promote
democratic development, and we
shall strive to enrich our common
cultural and political life through
active participation. At the: same
time, we shall be alert to 'detect
and condemn any subversive force
which uses racial defamation to
disrupt our community- and destroy
the growing unity of the Canadian
people.
To further this primary purpose,
we recommend the formation of a
provincial organization to repre
sent all Japanese people in On
tario. It is recommended that a
committee be named to study the
constitution of the Japanese Cana
dian Committee for Democracy,
and to adapt this constitution to
the circumstances of the provin
cial organization.
As an additional means to
further this end, we recommend
the organization of committees in
all unorganized areas. The com
mittees need not be formal, but
should be sufficiently7 cohesive to
maintain contact with all persons
in their areas, and with the central
body. When matters of importance
arise, these committees will assist
in giving out information and re
port local decisions to head
quarters.
The following principles will be
basic to any- organization affiliat
ing to the provincial organization:
(a) the local organizations will be
in a position to discuss and make
decisions on matters of public con
cern, (b) the organization will not
discriminate against a person be
cause of nationality, and (c) the
organization and members are
pledged to assist the progressive
and democratic movements at
home and abroad.
FINANCES AND BUDGET
An extensive budget is not pro
posed for the provincial organiza
tion. Expenses will be limited to
items like stationery, postage, ad
vertising and travel. Staff, if em
ployed, will not be more than a
part-time secretary.
These ex
penses can be covered by a small
nominal affiliation fee, and con
tributions raised on an allotment
basis by dances, concerts and
other social affairs.
It is recommended that the Pro
vincial Committee draw up a
budget to December 31, 1946.

On the Empire MacKendrick,
the five Nise.i sergeants had two
rooms and their own mess. In this
mess, CSM Hunter, Sgt. Ito, Sgt.
Yatabe and Sgt. Oue were having
a quiet rubber of bridge one
Thursday night. The ship was
anchored sixteen miles from Liver
pool in the Mersey Bar and had
been there for two days, muchto
the impatience of passengers and
crew alike.
At about 10 o’clock in the eve
ning. when tea was being enjoyed
by the bridge players, loud and
lusty singing was heard from the
crew’s quarters. Soon, in rolled
the steward and the ship carpen

thick muscular wrists and enor

We Remember
By T.A.M.
A tribute to Margaret Kudo,
who passed away at Leth
bridge on June 6th, 1945.
A year has gone by since we
received the telegram which,
though not unexpected, filled us
with sorrow7. It was not a long
telegram. It simply7 stated that
she had passed away. Just a few7
words, but they7 recalled many
memories.
We remember her as a child,
happy7 and friendly with twinkling
eyes and an appealing smile. She
was always polite and thoughtful
of the comfort of the many7 visitors
received by7 her father in their
little home by7 the old school.
There came the w7ar, the evacu
ation to Alberta and then the be
ginning of her long illness. We
remember her struggling to regain
her health, and with sorrow-, we
w-atched her slowly losing ground
until her ebbing strength confined
her to a hospital bed.
We remember the long periods
of pain and suffering which she
bore with quiet courage and the
cheerful smile which greeted her
many visitors and well-wishers,
endearing her to all who had the
honor of knowing her.
We remember her fighting heart
and the will to live which sus
tained her long after the doctor
had given up hope, until finally,
even her courageous heart could
struggle no more and death
brought merciful release.
.Yes, we remember all this—and
remembering, we pay tribute to
-the memory7 of our dear friend,
Margaret.

''Organization"
By N.B.E.
There always comes a time
when your mind falls into a. par
ticular mood or along some. line
of thought, clinging to memories
or the past with all the tenacity
of a stubborn barnacle. You don't
have to feel melacholy to fall into
these reminiscent, somewhat wist
ful spells, for you can reminisce
happily too.
On Sunday, I reminisced. Maybe
it. was because it was Decoration
Day. but I kept thinking of my lost
childhood
friends
and school
chums. And as the parade swept
by, my thoughts went back to care
free high school days when life
meant laughter and fun. and when
our woes were nothing larger than
unrequited puppy- love, homework,
detentions and distasteful sub
jects. Life was a bed of roses, and
though we were aware of world
affairs through our studies of cur
rent events, our biggest concern
was whether our team would win
the basketball game or that cru
cial rugby7 game. And while Hitler
marched through Austria, Czecho
slovakia, and when Chamberlain
returned from Munich, hailing,
“Peace in our time,” we worried
about, our star football player's
sprained ankle or Tech’s starry
fullback.
And so our high school days
whizzed by. Then came 1939 and
during the early7 days of the war
we turned our efforts and energies
to Red Cross work or Cadet Corps.
We ran to classroom windows to
admire the cavalry- unit passing
our school. We laughed at the boys’
awkward attempts at marching in
formation. We collected maga
zines, and raised penny- funds. We
saw France and the Low Countries
invaded, and abandoned algebra
for a discussion with Mr. “Mac.”
And so, on towards graduation
with class breakfasts, the valedic
tory, the tea, dance, and good-byes
to favorite teachers . . .
Then one by one the boys joined
up. It was hard to believe that
these uniformed friends were the
same ones I’d squabbled with,
who’d dipped my ringlets into the
ink-well in grade four, or who’d
sent that cute Valentine. One by
one they- left, looking smart and
trim in uniforms of khaki, navy
and air force blue. We wrote to
them, spilling all the gossip . . .
Jim joined up . . . Mr. Jones broke
his left leg . . . Pifie had six pup
pies . . . the old school put on “The
Gondoliers.”
Then came Dieppe, with the
Cameron Highlanders in on it. We
anxiously- scanned lists of those
who were safe. And how we cele
brated when Les and Gordie wired
they were safe! But sad news
came too. Laurie was reported
“missing in action” after a mis
sion over Germany. Then Jim was
reported
missing,
and
later,
Laurie’s younger brother Sid.
Then as time went by, they- were
all “presumed dead.” And at the
end of the war, they failed to turn
up.
A section from a draft report submitted to the Ontario
Provincial Conference by the Toronto Defence Committee.
At a recent Provincial Confer
ence of Japanese organizations
and representatives in Ontario, the
Toronto Citizenship Defence Com
mittee submitted a draft report
c o v e r i n g the organizations,
finances, and functions of the pro
vincial organization and the pro
posed national federation.
The draft supplies much factual
and interpretative data.
The contents of the report will
be published in this and succeed
ing issues. Following is an excerpt
from the draft, under the section
“Organization” (of Provincial or
ganization).
*
♦
*
During the past four years, the
Japanese people in Ontario have
formed organizations in their re
spective areas. Some were for
specialized purposes such as re
ligious worship, for recreation,
and for political action. They were
formed, in all instances, by groups
of people who joined together to
pursue a common interest. Group
leaders, executive members, and
the membership iu. general, have
given their attention to develop a
variety of programs which are of
interest to the members.
The increasing number of Jap
anese in Ontario during the past
two years has led us to believe'
that advantages can be gained byco-ordinating and unifying our
activity. More recently, when a
large number of persons were
threatened with deportation, we
have required funds for legal ac
tion. In dur province-wide appeal
for donations, we have seen the
need for a single organization for
the whole area. With permanent
settlement, more stable conditions,
and an increasing influx of people,
the need for an organization to
promote a long range policy, be
comes imperative.
Our first purpose is to become
an integral functioning part of the
democratic community, and to
share in all responsibilities and
privileges with the rest of the pop
ulation. We shall co-operate with
all organizations -which promote
democratic development, and we
shall strive to enrich our common
cultural and political life through
active participation. At the: same
time, we shall be alert to 'detect
and condemn any subversive force
which uses racial defamation to
disrupt our community- and destroy
the growing unity of the Canadian
people.
To further this primary purpose,
we recommend the formation of a
provincial organization to repre
sent all Japanese people in On
tario. It is recommended that a
committee be named to study the
constitution of the Japanese Cana
dian Committee for Democracy,
and to adapt this constitution to
the circumstances of the provin
cial organization.
As an additional means to
further this end, we recommend
the organization of committees in
all unorganized areas. The com
mittees need not be formal, but
should be sufficiently7 cohesive to
maintain contact with all persons
in their areas, and with the central
body. When matters of importance
arise, these committees will assist
in giving out information and re
port local decisions to head
quarters.
The following principles will be
basic to any- organization affiliat
ing to the provincial organization:
(a) the local organizations will be
in a position to discuss and make
decisions on matters of public con
cern, (b) the organization will not
discriminate against a person be
cause of nationality, and (c) the
organization and members are
pledged to assist the progressive
and democratic movements at
home and abroad.
FINANCES AND BUDGET
An extensive budget is not pro
posed for the provincial organiza
tion. Expenses will be limited to
items like stationery, postage, ad
vertising and travel. Staff, if em
ployed, will not be more than a
part-time secretary.
These ex
penses can be covered by a small
nominal affiliation fee, and con
tributions raised on an allotment
basis by dances, concerts and
other social affairs.
It is recommended that the Pro
vincial Committee draw up a
budget to December 31, 1946.
