Privy Council Ruling
Expected Before
End of Month
OTTAWA—A Privy Council de
cision on the validity of orders-incouncil under which Japanese in
Canada are being sent to Japan
on "request" likely will be deliv
ered before the end of this month,
according to the Canadian press.
On the basis of the decision will
rest the government’s future pol
icy with respect to Japanese in
Canada, the report said.
The orders-in-council passed last
December authorized Hon. Hum
phrey Mitchell, labour minister, to
send to Japan certain undesirable
groups of Japanese nationals, nat
uralized Canadians and Canadianborn Japanese.
So far some 3,150 persons, who
asked to go. have ben sent to
Japan. Others are expected to
leave shortly, voluntarily.

Outlines Policy on
Japanese Canadians
Will Review Deportation Policy
When Privy Council Hands Down
Decision Says Labour Minister
OTTAWA—The Canadian government will delay com
pulsory deportation until a decision has been handed down
by the Privy Council on an appeal regarding the validity
of deportation orders-in-council, at which time government
policy will be reviewed, it was revealed in the latest state
ment ou the Japanese administra
tion made by Labour Minister
Humphrey Mitchell on Aug. 30.
Other government proposals for
this year are:
(1) To repatriate to Japan as
soon as possible all those desiring
to go voluntarily.
(2) To disperse and resettle
across Canada in 1946 those
who have proven their firm de
sire to remain in Canada, by
giving them every assistance
and encouragement possible, in
cluding the progressive relaxa
tion of wartime restrictions.
The minister stated that more
than 2,000 Japanese who desired
to remain in Canada were moved
east for resettlement and employ
ment since the beginning of April.
Regarding relocation, the min
ister said:
"It is hoped that relocation will
be substantially accelerated by
the evidence of increased desire
on the part of the Japanese to co
operate, and the growing appre
ciation by the public of the wis
dom of the government’s dispersal
program."
The complete statement of the
minister concerning Japanese administration appears on page 2.

The Problem at Transcona
It is the sincere opinion of local Japanese Division offi
cials that the difficulties attending' any plan of supplying
heat, water and electricity to the Transcona hostel are so
great as to make it unfeasible, if not impossible, to keep the
hostel open during the coming winter.
Although the present impasse is directly traceable to the
dismantling of the Defence Industries Limited’s' plant,, it is
clear that the blunder or miscalculation which has led to
the closure of the Transcona hostel less than three months
after its establishment has been made earlier in the plan
ning stage.
There is not much point now in trying to affix the
blame for the failure of the Transcona project. But it is
most important that due consideration be shown the evacu
ees now at the hostel, who, through no fault of their own,
are faced with the unanticipated and unwelcome possibility
of being transferred to hostels at Neys or Hearst in northern
Ontario.
According to most recent information, there are in the
neighbourhood of 180 persons at the hostel. Among them
are some families unsuited to relocation because they have
too many young children, or because of their insufficient
earning capacity. There are other evacuees, however, who are
experienced carpenters or skilled worker for whom work
is available at any time in Winnipeg; there would be the
minimum of difficulty in placing these people if only hous
ing could be provided for their families.
Generally speaking, the families at Transcona are not
suited to the bush work of northern Ontario. And almost
all of them came to Transcona because they had social or
economic reasons which made ..them choose Manitoba rather
than the other provinces as their future home.
Under the circumstances, the anxiety of evacuees at
Transcona would be greatly mitigated if some means could
be devised to keep the hostel open, or if that is impossible,
to arrange an alternative plan of providing temporary
accommodations for them during the winter months.
Local Japanese Division officials have shown that they
realize fully the unfortunate positions in which the people
at the hostel have been placed, and the officials are sparing
no effort in a search for a satisfactory solution. But it
appears at the moment that such a solution is not possible
with the confines of their limited authority. Some drastic
assistance or direction seems to be required from a higher
authority at Ottawa or Vancouver—a possible solution is
to requisition some usable structure or army huts for evac
uee use, at least to accommodate those who have valid rea
sons for wishing to remain in this province.
It is sincerely hoped that the problem at Transcona will
receive the immediate and careful reconsideration of re
sponsible officials, including those at Ottawa and Vancouver,
before deciding upon the last resort of moving all those
now at Transcona to northern Ontario.
acuation Losses in the U.S
(From Pacific Citizen)
In his statement
0
tion Claims bill. Secretary of In
terior Julius A. Krug noted that
the evacuees of Japanese ancestry
had suffered heavy property and
financial losses as a result of the
evacuation. "Continued evacuation
increased the losses." Secretary
Krug said. "Private buildings in
which evacuees stored their prop
erty were broken into and van
dalized. Mysterious fires destroyProperty
ed vacant buildin
. with ‘friends’ unaccountably
appeared. Goods stored with
t\e Government sometimes were
damaged or lost. Persons entrust

owners in diverse ways. Tenants
failed to pay rent, converted prop
erty to their own use. committed
waste. Prohibited from returning
to the evacuated areas even tem
porarily to handle property mat
ters. the evacuees were unable to
protect themselves adequately."
The evacuee idemnificatton proposad, backed by a strong message
from President Truman which
urged government action to rec-
tify "the very real and grievous
losses" sustained by many evac
uees, wa passed by the Senate
but was stymied in the House
upon the objection of Rep. Clair
Engle of California. With the ad
journment of the 79th Congress
there is no possibility of further
action this year on the claims bill
and, though the proposal will be
reintroduced in January, it will
probably not be voted upon until
next spring.
In the absence of government
action to repay the losses sus
tained as a result of the evacua
tion. at least one evacuee has
taken his problem to court. In a
California court last week a Nisei
farmer filed a suit against his
landlord, asking an accounting for
after the
the crops
evacuation. The case is typical of
those faced by many evacuees
and it is possible that other suits
will be filed.
Although individual court action may be instituted to recover
some of the losses sustained by
the evacuees, particularly in cases
of deliberate mismanagement by
authorized agents, much of the
losses resulted directly from the
“confusion and hysteria” of the
evacuation itself, and final adjudi
cation of these losses must await
the creation of an Evacuation
Claims Commission by Congress.
Laughing on the
Outside
From Vancouver Daily Province
A people’s reaction to
ing outside influence is sometimes
a key that provides a glimpse of
feelings that are being masked.
Peoples of countries defeated in
the last war, for instance, cannot
be expected to have regained their
normal composure so soon after
the conflict. If they are still unrepentent their feelings will he
carefully hidden. In. any case
they would not be easily judged.
It is significant, therefore, when
is found that will
some
penetrate the mask.
Recently Allied occupation au
thorities presented two great
satirical works, Charlie Chaplin’s
"The Great Dictator" in Germany

Mikado” in Japan. Except for
some guffaws at Chaplin’s antics
the Germans were not amused at
the movie satirizing Hitler but
the Japanese laughed and thor
oughly enjoyed The Mikado.
The subject matter and treat
ment are, of course, vastly differ
ent. “The Great Dictator” is a.
heavy-handed lampooning of Hit
ler until it verges on the ridiculous
while The Mikado pokes fun in a
pleasant sort of way at the British
even more than at the Japanese,
But Japan had always objected
to the mild ridicule and the comic
opera had never before been al
lowed in the country. But now
not only is it enjoyed but many
Japanese take part in it.
Daughter may be nearer the sur
face with the Japanese or the
reason may be found in the current raidio song about laughing
on the outside

and crying on the
inside. But spontaneous laughter
is not easy to fake. The nice
question arises: Can the Japanese
be converted to a decent way of
living in quicker time than the
Germans. There are plenty of
military fanatics in Japan who
would soon upset the peace if
given the chance but there is hope
of regeneration when the people
can laugh at their own foibles.
It is a significant point that
should not be overlooked by the
peace-makers that the Germans
are not ready to do that. At the
moment the Japanese are in
happier frame of mind and the
sooner the Germans—and some of
their conquerors — can learn to
laugh again the quicker will ten- sions be eased. The world is badly
in need of amusing diversions just
now.

The Minister of Labour s Report
On the Japanese Administration
From the Hansard, Aug. 31, 1946
Our Japanese administration
work comes under two main headings—repatriation and relocation.
With respect to repatriation,
the records show that 6,S92 adults
voluntarily signed requests for re
patriation covering a. total of
10,632 persons; while 4,527 adults
have requested cancellation of
their applications for repatriation,
covering also their 1,786 minor
children.
I would like to review the
situation with respect to compul
sory repatriation.
After the Prime Minister on
December 17 last explained in this
house the purpose and scope of
the three orders in council dated
December 15, 1945, providing for
deportation and repatriation of
Japanese, strong representations
were received not only asking for
a review of the programme but
challenging the validity of the
orders.
As a result, the government in
January, 1946, made a reference
to the Supreme Court of Canada
for an opinion' as to whether the
orders in council were ultra vires
in whole or in part.
The supreme court upheld the
validity of the orders except as
they affected the dependents of
deportable persons.
The judgment of the court was
not unanimous. At present an
appeal to the privy council from
the supreme court ruling is being
taken by a committee on behalf
of the Japanese. The government
has accordingly considered it ad
visable to suspend deportation
proceedings under the orders in
the meantime, but is continuing
arrangements for the repatriation
of those who wish to go to Japan
on a voluntary.* basis.
Including a sailing on August 2,
3.151 Japanese have left Canada
for repatriation to Japan. Hun-
they please.
To me it seems that we are
cowards to deny them their heri
tage of free men and free women.

The Problem at Transcona
It is the sincere opinion of local Japanese Division offi
cials that the difficulties attending' any plan of supplying
heat, water and electricity to the Transcona hostel are so
great as to make it unfeasible, if not impossible, to keep the
hostel open during the coming winter.
Although the present impasse is directly traceable to the
dismantling of the Defence Industries Limited’s' plant,, it is
clear that the blunder or miscalculation which has led to
the closure of the Transcona hostel less than three months
after its establishment has been made earlier in the plan
ning stage.
There is not much point now in trying to affix the
blame for the failure of the Transcona project. But it is
most important that due consideration be shown the evacu
ees now at the hostel, who, through no fault of their own,
are faced with the unanticipated and unwelcome possibility
of being transferred to hostels at Neys or Hearst in northern
Ontario.
According to most recent information, there are in the
neighbourhood of 180 persons at the hostel. Among them
are some families unsuited to relocation because they have
too many young children, or because of their insufficient
earning capacity. There are other evacuees, however, who are
experienced carpenters or skilled worker for whom work
is available at any time in Winnipeg; there would be the
minimum of difficulty in placing these people if only hous
ing could be provided for their families.
Generally speaking, the families at Transcona are not
suited to the bush work of northern Ontario. And almost
all of them came to Transcona because they had social or
economic reasons which made ..them choose Manitoba rather
than the other provinces as their future home.
Under the circumstances, the anxiety of evacuees at
Transcona would be greatly mitigated if some means could
be devised to keep the hostel open, or if that is impossible,
to arrange an alternative plan of providing temporary
accommodations for them during the winter months.
Local Japanese Division officials have shown that they
realize fully the unfortunate positions in which the people
at the hostel have been placed, and the officials are sparing
no effort in a search for a satisfactory solution. But it
appears at the moment that such a solution is not possible
with the confines of their limited authority. Some drastic
assistance or direction seems to be required from a higher
authority at Ottawa or Vancouver—a possible solution is
to requisition some usable structure or army huts for evac
uee use, at least to accommodate those who have valid rea
sons for wishing to remain in this province.
It is sincerely hoped that the problem at Transcona will
receive the immediate and careful reconsideration of re
sponsible officials, including those at Ottawa and Vancouver,
before deciding upon the last resort of moving all those
now at Transcona to northern Ontario.
acuation Losses in the U.S
(From Pacific Citizen)
In his statement
0
tion Claims bill. Secretary of In
terior Julius A. Krug noted that
the evacuees of Japanese ancestry
had suffered heavy property and
financial losses as a result of the
evacuation. "Continued evacuation
increased the losses." Secretary
Krug said. "Private buildings in
which evacuees stored their prop
erty were broken into and van
dalized. Mysterious fires destroyProperty
ed vacant buildin
. with ‘friends’ unaccountably
appeared. Goods stored with
t\e Government sometimes were
damaged or lost. Persons entrust
ed with the management of evacusie real property mulcted their
owners in diverse ways. Tenants
failed to pay rent, converted prop
erty to their own use. committed
waste. Prohibited from returning
to the evacuated areas even tem
porarily to handle property mat
ters. the evacuees were unable to
protect themselves adequately."
The evacuee idemnificatton proposad, backed by a strong message
from President Truman which
urged government action to rec-
tify "the very real and grievous
losses" sustained by many evac
uees, wa passed by the Senate
but was stymied in the House
upon the objection of Rep. Clair
Engle of California. With the ad
journment of the 79th Congress
there is no possibility of further
action this year on the claims bill
and, though the proposal will be
reintroduced in January, it will
probably not be voted upon until
next spring.
In the absence of government
action to repay the losses sus
tained as a result of the evacua
tion. at least one evacuee has
taken his problem to court. In a
California court last week a Nisei
farmer filed a suit against his
landlord, asking an accounting for
after the
the crops
evacuation. The case is typical of
those faced by many evacuees
and it is possible that other suits
will be filed.
Although individual court action may be instituted to recover
some of the losses sustained by
the evacuees, particularly in cases
of deliberate mismanagement by
authorized agents, much of the
losses resulted directly from the
“confusion and hysteria” of the
evacuation itself, and final adjudi
cation of these losses must await
the creation of an Evacuation
Claims Commission by Congress.
Laughing on the
Outside
From Vancouver Daily Province
A people’s reaction to
ing outside influence is sometimes
a key that provides a glimpse of
feelings that are being masked.
Peoples of countries defeated in
the last war, for instance, cannot
be expected to have regained their
normal composure so soon after
the conflict. If they are still unrepentent their feelings will he
carefully hidden. In. any case
they would not be easily judged.
It is significant, therefore, when
is found that will
some
penetrate the mask.
Recently Allied occupation au
thorities presented two great
satirical works, Charlie Chaplin’s
"The Great Dictator" in Germany
and Gilbert, and Sullivans “The
Mikado” in Japan. Except for
some guffaws at Chaplin’s antics
the Germans were not amused at
the movie satirizing Hitler but
the Japanese laughed and thor
oughly enjoyed The Mikado.
The subject matter and treat
ment are, of course, vastly differ
ent. “The Great Dictator” is a.
heavy-handed lampooning of Hit
ler until it verges on the ridiculous
while The Mikado pokes fun in a
pleasant sort of way at the British

But Japan had always objected
to the mild ridicule and the comic
opera had never before been al
lowed in the country. But now
not only is it enjoyed but many
Japanese take part in it.

THE
By F.AM.
looking Up •• •
A Visit to the Taj Mahal
^meunies we had to grudg■^]v admit that India was not
per cent lousy. Sometimes we were big about it and
^•ued that India was only
jpn^ty-nine and nine-tenths per
cent lousy. Like the time we
-ent to Agra to visit the famed
Taj Mahal.
The following is a quote from
3 letter I wrote from Agra to a
Kid sister one February Sunday
oi this year:
••A^ta. the number one tourist
city of India—the home of the Taj
Mahal. Yup. we saw it yesterdav—and jeepers’ (as you would
say) it's all it's cracked up to be.
“At the time of our visit we
,-ere billeted in Meerut in the
United Provinces
of
Central
India. Our group of nine Nisei
Kere whiling away, the time waitins for a repatriation ship. (To
the U.K... not what you "were
thinking, dopey.)
-From Meerut, to Delhi (the
capital of India) is a tv o-houi
trip; we had lunch at the Delhi
station during the three-quarters
of an hour wait (vegetable curry
and rice, ox tongue salad and
fruit custard—much better than
our regular British Army bill of
fare—aiHi only two rupees—about
70 cents. This is exceptionally7
cheap for a restaurant meal in
India).
"From Delhi to Agra by the
fast Madras Mail was about four
hours and a half. The time pass
ed away very quickly* since Jim
and I played crib while Harold,
Sid, Albert and Ernie were play
ing 500. At the station where we
stopped around 5:30 p.m., we got
tea, toast and eggs that we had
ordered beforehand.
‘Agra City being ‘out-of-bounds’
(as many of these sacred Indian
cities are) we got off at Agra
Cantonment which is closer to the
Taj anyway—piled into some ‘ton
gas’ (smelly horse-driven car
riages peculiar to certain parts
of India) and made our way7 to
the Army Leave Centre.
"Most cities have leave centres
where servicemen can come to get
billets and information. We got
beds for only three annas (six
cents) a night for two nights
.(blankets, sheets and pillow in
cluded), got. a good supper (also
v«ry cheap) at a big canteen
across the road.
"In the morning I slept in. After
all we were on leave. Some of
^e guys got up early and started
°w but Al, Fred, Jin, Ernie and
1 started out about half ten in the
horning. We learned that the Taj
*as only three miles away.
A tonga charged one rupee
sight annas (about 50 cents) for
c-e w<iy while a bike was much
cheaper being one rupee for the
«hole day. three annas per hour,
^ much handier. (Sixteen annas
‘° * rupee, one anna equals
^ughly tw0 Canuck cents.)
CYCLING TO THE TAJ
we spent most part of a
aour looking for bikes. Couple
.0$''
couldn’t get any so
a Ionga- A-> E- and I
£-■/?..^V’'’ we =ot bikes and we
any accidents
“-'-gar und r red had.

Taj Mahal.
The following is a quote from
3 letter I wrote from Agra to a
Kid sister one February Sunday
oi this year:
••A^ta. the number one tourist

say) it's all it's cracked up to be.

-From Meerut, to Delhi (the
capital of India) is a tv o-houi
trip; we had lunch at the Delhi
station during the three-quarters
of an hour wait (vegetable curry
and rice, ox tongue salad and
fruit custard—much better than
our regular British Army bill of
fare—aiHi only two rupees—about
70 cents. This is exceptionally7
cheap for a restaurant meal in
India).
"From Delhi to Agra by the

hours and a half. The time pass

stopped around 5:30 p.m., we got
tea, toast and eggs that we had
ordered beforehand.
‘Agra City being ‘out-of-bounds’
(as many of these sacred Indian
cities are) we got off at Agra
Cantonment which is closer to the
Taj anyway—piled into some ‘ton
gas’ (smelly horse-driven car
riages peculiar to certain parts
of India) and made our way7 to
the Army Leave Centre.
"Most cities have leave centres
where servicemen can come to get
billets and information. We got
beds for only three annas (six
cents) a night for two nights
.(blankets, sheets and pillow in
cluded), got. a good supper (also
v«ry cheap) at a big canteen
across the road.
"In the morning I slept in. After
all we were on leave. Some of

Large Crowd Attracted to Music
Appreciation Society's Dance
w
TORONTO. Ont. — The first or
ganizational dance of the proposed
society for musical appreciation,
held at the Toronto Labour Ly
ceum on Saturday. August 31,
drew a capacity crowd, who en
joyed the music supplied by Steve
Yamada. The only drawback was
the faulty speech system which
made it difficult to hear the an
nouncements.
A surprise announcement of
Miss Ghizuko Hagino’s engagement to Sam 1. Yamada, was
made during the latter part of
the dance, when “Always” was
dedicated to them.
The main feature of the dance
was the prize draw. Most of the
prizes were donated by Nisei busi
ness men. The draw was as fol
lows: First prize, donated by
Acme Washer and Radio, to Tadao
Sawada: three second prizes: two
lows: First, toaster, donated by
Sam Hagino Cleaners, to Terry
Tsuji and party unknown. $5.00
gift certificate for three portraits,
by Century Studio, to Sab Taka
hashi; three third prizes: box of
chocolates, to Maw Mori, Nab
Saito and Mits Izumi; and two
fourth prizes: Decca Records, by
Wayne Radio Company, to Buzz
Ogaki and Paul Hirano.
It is thought that, the announce
ment. with respect to the forma
tion of the proposed club or so
ciety was not heard by everyone
at the dance, and the sponsors of
the dance are requesting those in
terested who did not. submit their
name, address, phone number and
preference (for either classics or
swing music or botn) at the dance,
to do so immediately by forward
ing same to Steve Yamada. 349
Jarvis Street, Toronto. Those in
terested are also urged to watch
these columns for further an
nouncements regarding the date
