issued by the Lemon Creek Japa­

sial clause contained in B. C.
Whitty’s notice of June 24 was
due to an error.
The clause stated that the next
boat was the last one on which
the repatriates would be paid re­
patriation allowance and permit­
ted 500 lbs. freight allowance.
Later repatriates, it has been clar­
ified, will enjoy the same benefits.
The Japanese Committee pointed
out that this correction is not to
be interpreted to mean that other
repatriation ships are being plan­
ned. However, it is believed that
in view of the large number of
applicants for repatriation, accommodation on a later boat will be
a virtual necessity.
Those who have been “influenced" to apply for repatriation
on this trip will be permitted to
withdraw their applications, the

Several reasons make it difficult
for a very rapid absorption of
people here into outside jobs. A
large number of families have
three or more under-high-schoolage children. In addition many
heads of families are in the fifties

to accept jobs in
camps
where work is reported to be hard

The troopship Wilson Victory

Press dispatches:
Air. Brewin opened his case by
quoting from the orders-in-council
authorizing deportation.
Lord
Simon said there was a suggestion
in them that a national of Japan
may also be a national of Canada.
Air. Brewin said he did not think
that was intended. Air. Brewin
stated that there was no definition
of the term “Japanese race" in the
orders.
When Air. Brewin stated that
letters exchanged by the Canadian
and United States governments
made clear that the intention of
the MacArthur order was "repatri­
ation." Lord Simon questioned the
relevancy of-the letters.
Air. Brewin contended deporta­

Loss of Canadian Citizenship
By Judge Walter J. Lindal
Citizenship
can be lost in
two ways: by
the voluntary
act of the cit­
izen himself
and by an ad­
ministrative
act of the
state of which
he is a citizen, imposed upon him
as a consequence of his own ac­
tions. It is obvious that in the
first case it makes no difference
how the person became a citizen,
whether by birth or naturalization.
The result is what he intended.
It is equally obvious that revoca­
tion of citizenship by the state
can be applied only in case of
those to whom citizenship had
previously been granted. It can­
not apply to the natural-born.

ceases to be a Canadian- citizen.

zen of a country other than a
country of the British Common­
wealth he ceases to be a British

OLDEN DAYS,

By PEG

Page Seven
press the emotion and be ashamed
to ever tell anyone of our “child­
ishness.”
Would I‘ rather have kept that
capacity for feeling and the lack
of self-consciousness in expressing
it ? Great poets have retained the
“awareness" of the child. Without
any preference or analysis, j grad­
ually discovered that I was an
ordinary person. I had acquired
mv hell and my writing no lousier
sounded sincere because the soul
was deadened in reaching the ma­
terial maturity of this twentieth
century. How can I attain true
maturity when my mind is burden­
ed with doubts? Sometimes, as
now, when I stop to compare my­
self of today and person who was,
I silently weep for those "golden
days" and that golden child.
