Slocan Niseis to Gather
Materials on Evacuation
SLOGAN CITY. B.C.—Members
Slovan Valley Nisei Organir'r'-on are making house to house
^J’k kcal settlements in. an
Xi to gather evidence on the
its Of evacuation, including.the
^ntal attitudes which led to the
filing of repatriation forms and
subsequently their cancellation.
The project was decided upon
and planned at the S.V.N.O. meet
ing of June 16. It was felt that a
collection of testimonials and affi
davits describing the wartime ex
periences of the evacuees, which,
were, shared by people of no other
race in Canada, would serve to
sire a better appreciation of the
problem.
It is understood that the testi
monials will stress not only the
material and financial losses suf
fered by the evacuees but also the
emotional, mental and physical
hardships as well.
The information being sought
will cover the following points:
(1) Length of notices received be
fore evacuation; (2) Conditions at
Hastings Park Manning Pool; (3)
Forced separation of families: (4)
Instability of Commission rulings;
(b Sale of properties: (6) Con
ditions in ghost towns: (7) “Vol
untary" repatriation scheme; (8)
Problem of Issei Naturalization
(difficulty in security); (9) Psy
chological effects of evacuation.
Efforts will be made to compile
records of actual cases with accur
ate information and figures.
The Nisei Organization hopes to
gather as. much material as pos
sible before the Privy Council ap
peal is heard. Another reason for
urgency lies in the fact that much
evidence will be lost unless they
£re gathered before the next ship
load of repatriates leave Canada.

Japanese Problem
Nearing Peaceful
Settlement - Sun
VANCOUVER, B.C.—The Van
couver Sun from its Ottawa
Bureau reported on June 22 that
a peaceful settlement of the
Japanese question was slowly
developing.
The newspaper stated that two
shiploads have left for Japan and
that another is ready when a ship
can be obtained.
“Children under 16 must accom
pany their parents but older
children may- decide for them
selves to stay or go."
Continued The Sun: “The Jap
anese scattered in other provinces
of Canada are settling down
quietly to life there. Curiously,
they seem to be happiest in Que
bec. where about 1.000 are now
located.
“The provinces which previously
demanded fulfillment of the Dom
inion's promise to return them
all to British Columbia have not
been insistent on the letter of
the contract, and it may be pos
sible to quietly disseminate
throughout Canada those Jap
anese who do not elect to go to
Japan. No new ones, of course,
are being allowed to enter the
Dominion.
“The. federal government is
hopeful that if. there is no agita
tion by one side or the other,
the Japanese problem may be
settled amicably, though the basis,
of. the settlement is that British
Columbia, shall be relieved of the
segregation of Japanese on the
P.acific Coast."

Among the chief concerns, of the.
repatriates is the retention of the
children’s Canadian citizenship
status. A number of petitions have
been sent, to Ottawa concerning
this point, and the latest ones,
dated June 12, are intended to

Two. forms have been prepared

The second form is to be signed

Experience on S.S. Marine Angel
Is Described in Airmail Letter
The first airmail communica
tion from the repatriates who left
Canada May 31 on the S.S. Marine
Angel was received by The New
Canadian last week. The letter
was written by a former Tashmeite on board the repatriation
ship as “eager-faced" repats lined
up on the decks were waiting to
catch the first glimpse of Japan.
The writer describes the ex
perience of the repatriates on
board the ship.
“We boarded the S.S. Marine
Angel Friday afternoon.” said the
letter. “Ai 10 p.m. the ship slowly
made its way through the calm
waters of the Burrard Inlet. The
city was bright with neon lights
which were reflected in the waters
of the inlet. They seemed to bid
us farewell. The ship crept out
under the Lion’s Gate Bridge

Pent in a road camp
pondered over the dis crimin a t ory
treatment that we had been sub
jected to.
It was about that time that the
U.S. started to recruit the combat
team that made its way into his
tory as the Purple Heart Battalion
of the grim pushes in Italian mud.
Alike Masaoka wrote his testa
ment then.
How unjust I thought Canada
was compared to America since
there wa not rhe dimmest possibility of the■ Canadian Army
asking for Nisei in those days.
But as we sat bitching in our
bunkhouse, we could understand
the widespread opposition to the
idea of evacuated Nisei joining up
among the American Issei and
Nisei who lived within barbed
wire fences in their own relocaThey had been

British Columbia
to
With the unhealed wounds of
evacuation still jabbing their mem
ories, no wonder people asked:
“Why?"’
Then our family relocated to
Southern Ontario. We are all
out here, together and happy for
the first time since 1942.
The movement of our large
family from interior town to unknown country was motivated by
the one decision—that our life
and our future lay in Canada and
nowhere else. With me and my
brothers and sisters as with most
Nisei that is the most natural
feeling; but with our parents, who
still think of their own country
of over 30 years ago with fond
nostalgia, it was a complete break
from the old and firm step into
the new. How hard it must have
been for them.
Then finally after a long series
of negotiations, the doors to the
Canadian Army were finally open
ed to the main van of Nisei early
last year. Many Nisei had joined
up and about 15 pioneers had al.ready gone overseas towards India
and Australia when I was ap
proached concerning enlistment.
"By cur actions we must con
vince the public at large that
we are sincere in our state
ments and our protestations. Up
to this time most of our mani
festations have been of a de
fensive negative nature.”
—Mike Masaoka.
There was no coercion attach
ed to joining up. as many fellows
know. If you didn't want to. okay.
I had still wanted to joint the
army and had said so in the past
years to many Occidental friends
like most of us have done. But
this was the real thing.
. I hesitated more than a little
bit. To the recruiting' officer.
Lieutenant Thomas, I asked tor
time to think it over. And think
and talk it over I did. Being away
from the big cities I did not have
much opposition from friends
but there was lots of opposition
at home in the form of my par
ents.
Then. too. I was not in the
position to go off gaily to the
wars with no responsibilities
clouding the issue. Was joining
the army important enough, a
vital enough act to justify my
leaving the family flat for some
time? At that time we figured two
or three years.
My brothers and I decided the
sten was worthwhile. Both of
them being younger than my=ek,
thev insisted the “cho-nan should
stay home one one of them should
go in my place.
Joining the army would be a.
strong cornerstone on which we
could build our future plans. In
the post-war world wherever we
happened to be. there would be
returned men who might look
resentfully at us who seemingly
had lived in security and im
munity from conscription. Another
little push toward racial antag
onism. This was one way for our
family to have a good answer for

open and waiting.
Thus my joining up was to be

so I was to be the representative.
Both Mother and Father were
in opposition to the idea. And who
can blame them? To them it was
harder to accept the idea of my
going in the service of the coun
try that had accorded its the treatment of 1942. And the idea of my
fighting against their own coun
try must have naturally made
them sick at heart. For they.
like most of our Issei, were in the
unenviable position where - they
did not want Canada to lose the
war because she was their home
and their children’s home and
country; and yet they hated to
accept the idea that the country of
their birth was as evil and at fault

3. Prominent Canadians who are on each delegate.
Following is the complete text
of recommendations by the Ham
ilton Kyowa Club regarding the
proposed federation of Japanese
Canadian
organizations.
The
recommendations w ere passed
unanimously at the Kyowa Club
meeting of May 29 at which were
present 22 persons, including the
executive members and other in
terested men:
expect any more; but 1 am deeply
grateful that both of my parents
sent me off. when the day came
that we would be heading for un
known shores, with a. smile anti a
wave.
This helped me go with an un
troubled mind. Which was more
than most of my comrades had.
Many of them had not disclosed
their action at all to parents liv
ing in far-off B.C.: or if they had
communicated with their families
they'd received angry, questioning
letters in reply. That is why I
feel a deep sense of gratitude to
my mother and father.
You will note that I do not say
anything about fighting for the
Nisei cause or solving the Jap
anese problem. I was not. able to
go to war with such high resolu
tions: my reasons were more sei-'*
fish and more important to my own
self and our family. If my action
was also of some aid to the other
Japanese, well and good, but I
believed that each individual Nisei
should do his share to show that
he is deserving of the rights and
treatment that all of us had been
whining
for.
Has our record on the Pacific
Coast previous to the war been
so good? Has the reason that
many B.C. people demand de
portation of all Japanese apy
bearing on the way that we lived
among ourselves back there?Have we really been as Can
adian as we profess to be? The
fact that the Japanese have not
committed one act of disloyalty
or sabotage is a purely negative
virtue. What have we done to
become Canadians?
Joining
up
was
one
o!
my
answers.
This is why the reasons against
joining up that were spewed forth
during that, period did not mean
much to me.
J have dealt with the evacua
tion. What did it matter that we
were only accepted as a “special
group for intelligence work in
volving the use of the Japanese
language? What did it matter that
the Nisei were mostly segregated
in their training in Canada? What
did it matter that the call came
tardily when the war was in its
final phases?
But there, are other things to do
towards our becoming Canadians
than just joining up. Many of us
did not. or could not join up. That
does not make them less Canadian
than those of us who go around
with shiny discharge buttons in.
our lapels. Wc can all show our
selves worthy of the effort that,
such people as the various co
operative committees have shown,
and are showing for us.
To do this we need <i UN of
our own—a United Nisei. But that
does not necessarily have to do
with Nisei organizations or fed
erations. Granted these will be
essential in the Nisei striving for
recognition as equal citizens, but
the unity must be among the
Nisei themselves. And this unity
is the unity of purpose.
For each individual guy and gal
to put all his efforts into making
himself a part of the community
in which he lives and not just “the
Japs that live in the little brown
house on the next block." There
are so many little ways that we
can become known as the same as
the other people to these other
people. We won't have to shout
it to Ottawa or B.C. then. They'll
hear about it.
Some of the Issei have done
more than their share in this
atm and many Nisei are quietly
doing their bit. It will be the
biggest item in my reconver
sion from soldier to civilian and
I’m looking forward to it- It
should be fun. How do you feel

Then our family relocated to
Southern Ontario. We are all
out here, together and happy for
the first time since 1942.
The movement of our large
family from interior town to unknown country was motivated by
the one decision—that our life
and our future lay in Canada and
nowhere else. With me and my
brothers and sisters as with most
Nisei that is the most natural
feeling; but with our parents, who
still think of their own country
of over 30 years ago with fond
nostalgia, it was a complete break
from the old and firm step into
the new. How hard it must have
been for them.
Then finally after a long series
of negotiations, the doors to the
Canadian Army were finally open
ed to the main van of Nisei early
last year. Many Nisei had joined
up and about 15 pioneers had al.ready gone overseas towards India
and Australia when I was ap
proached concerning enlistment.

There was no coercion attach
ed to joining up. as many fellows
know. If you didn't want to. okay.
I had still wanted to joint the
army and had said so in the past
years to many Occidental friends
like most of us have done. But
this was the real thing.
. I hesitated more than a little
bit. To the recruiting' officer.
Lieutenant Thomas, I asked tor
time to think it over. And think
and talk it over I did. Being away
from the big cities I did not have
much opposition from friends
but there was lots of opposition
at home in the form of my par
ents.
Then. too. I was not in the
position to go off gaily to the
wars with no responsibilities
clouding the issue. Was joining
the army important enough, a
vital enough act to justify my

time? At that time we figured two
or three years.
My brothers and I decided the

Both Mother and Father were
in opposition to the idea. And who
can blame them? To them it was
harder to accept the idea of my
going in the service of the coun

them sick at heart. For they.

No-one but a strict Puritan will

of pleasure in life. Indeed, some
have claimed it to be the highest
aim in life.
Juveniles are delinquents because they are not pleased with
