Church of England Synod
Opposed to Deportation

Service with Japan

WINNIPEG. Man.—Objection to deportation of Japanese
residents of Canada and a plea for safeguarding of their civil
^ oroperty rights was expressed in a resolution passed by
5 16tb session of the general synod of the Church of Eng^i ni Canada, September 10, according to the Winnipeg
Tribune.
The resolution dealing with
Ta^f’cse residents asked that the
rovernment not deport any ex­
cept those who have been proved
disloyal to Canada and those who
-jp; desire to be sent to Japan.

It hoped ‘’that ordinary civil
End property rights will be ex­
tended to those who resettle else­
where in Canada, and that our
citizens, particularly our church
members, will extend a helping
hard . . /’
The resolution at first “comBiemied the policy of dispersal
throughout the provinces as the
most practical and equitable pro­
gram thus far enunciated,” but
this passage was deleted follow­
ing vote on such an amendment.
"The Church of England should
know that the civil rights of Ca­
nadians have been seriously inter­
fered with and disregarded,”
stated Canon P. S. C. Bowles,
chairman of the civil rights com­
mittee oi Montreal. He wanted
every "courtesy and sympathy”
extended the Japanese in this dif­
ficult problem.

Canon W. W. Judd, Toronto
general secretary of the social
service council, replied that the
•‘sale of property" was the "only
thing the Church of England did
not condemn forthright," among
injustices encountered.
Sir Robert Holland, Victoria,
stated that each Dominion had the
right to determine the composi­
tion and rights of its population.
"We feel," said Sir Robert,
"that because of the behaviour of
the Japanese, that they are not the
sort of people to make valuable
contribution to the Dominion of
Canada.”
H. C. Caldicott, Trail, B.C., said
he differed “about the quality of
Japanese residents” who were
dispersed.
“Christian Japanese
are fine citizens and have the
makings of distinctly worthy Ca­
nadians."
To say that groups of residents
can be moved from one place to
another, undermines the whole
conception of Canadian citizenship
stated Canon W. H. Davison, Mon­
treal.

Toronto Nisei is Director of New
Venture in Entertainment World
TORONTO, Ont.—Unique in the
field of Nisei enterprise is the or­
ganization of the Nisei Dance
Club, which is scheduled to make
hs debut at the Toronto Labour
Lyceum on Sept. 21.
The iuea is the brain-child of
v.s director, Dave Watanabe and
Lt associates, who have invested
^■-ne capital in a plan which, they
believe, will supply a long-felt
-trf in the entertainment world
ot Toronto Niseis.
-L- Watanabe, in an interview,
fmnkly mat the proposed

club was a commercial venture
which he hopes will be success­
ful. If not, he stated philosophic­
ally, the promoters are quite pre­
pared to stand the loss.
He stressed that the basic idea
of the plan was to give as much
entertainment value as possible
in the arrangement of bi-weekly
dances in a friendly and pleasant
atmosphere.
The Dance Club is expected to
give part-time employment to sev­
eral Niseis acting as checkers,
ticket-sellers, etc.

TOKIO — General MacArthur's
headquarters has announced that
limited international postal serv­
ice will be authorized for the Jap­
anese people beginning Sept. 10.
(No word of the change in
postal regulations had been re­
ceived by the Winnipeg Post Of­
fice at press time.)

Under the new regulations, Jap­
anese will be able to send post­
cards from Japan to any country
except Germany and may receive
postcards, approved books or mag­
azines, and gift packages not ex­
ceeding eleven pounds in weight
and containing only essentials
such as non-perishable foods,
clothing, soap, and medicines.

Deputy Commissioner
Mead Leaves R.C.M.P.
OTTAWA — Royal Canadian
Mounted Police headquarters an­
nounced the retirement of deputy
commissioner Frederick J. Mead
after more than 46 years’ service
with the R.C.M.P., reported the
Canadian Press.
He is succeeded by Henry A. R.
Gagnon, director of Criminal In­
vestigation.
Because of his knowledge of
Orientals in British Columbia, he
was appointed in 1942 to the Brit­
ish Columbia Security Commis­
sion, and served until it was dis­
solved in 1943.
Deputy Commissioner Mead
started his career as a constable
at Fort McLeod. He later served
with the old R.N.W.M.P. in the
Crowsnest and other districts of
the Interior.
In 1928 he was appointed head
of the Criminal Investigations De­
partment detachment at Vancou­
ver with the rank of inspector,
and was responsible for much
valuable work in breaking up
smuggling rings.
He was placed in charge of the
Montreal detahcment in 1933, and
subsequently became deputy com­
missioner.

August Relocation
Figures Total 521
VANCOUVER, B.C.—The num­
ber of persons moving out of
British Columbia, dropped to 521
in August, as compared to 1383 in
July, and 885 in June, indicating
that most of the relocatable evac­
uees have already been moved out
of B.C.
Two hundred and eight of the
August relocatees were moved to
various relocation centres outside
B.C., and 313 accepted direct
placements. There were 302 ad­
ults and 219 children under 16 in
the August group.

Chinese Canadians
Win Decorations
For Leading Guerilla Fighters
Behind Enemy Lines in Borneo
VANCOUVER, B.C.—Award of the Military Medal to
four Canadian-born Chinese was announced on Sept. 9.
and disclosed for the first time the heroic .mission of a small
group of Chinese Canadians who fought behind the Japanese
lines in Borneo.
According' to the Vancouver Sun which featured the
story on its front page, the four—
all enlisted in Vancouver and
secretly trained in the interior
B.C. in 1944—parachuted from a
Flying Fortress with a number of
Australians and New Zealanders
into Japanese-held Borneo early
in 1945.

There they organized savage
Dyak headhunters into guerilla
bands, taught them to use rifles,
and led them for five months
against the Japanese.

Citations which accompanied
the awards credit them with a
major role in driving the enemy
out of the British protectorate' of
Sarawak, one of Japan's last
South Pacific strongholds.
So secret were the operations
that none of the decorated men
has yet told Canadian army in­
telligence or bis own family what
he did in Borneo.

The decorated four, all dis­
charged some months ago with
the rank of sergeant, are:
Norman Mon Low, 23, of 790 E.
Hastings,

Seek Franchise

Veterans Back
B.C. Chinese
EDMONTON, Alta.--The ISHi
annual convention of the Army,
Navy and Air Force Veterans' As­
sociation here pledged their sup­
port to the battle of Canadian Chi­
nese to secure the franchise andfull citizenship privileges now
granted only to Chinese who
served in the war.
A Vancouver Chinese, Frank
Ho-lem, of the Canadian Chinese
unit, attacked the B.C. legislation
which iwohibited Chinese from the
vole.

Ho-lem declared: "The Domin­
ion says all Canadian citizens
have the right to vote, but lo do
this they must be on the provin­
cial voters' list. In British Colum­
bia they retain an antiquated law
which is unfair and detrimental
to Canada as a whole."

Empty Shacks, Neglected Gardens
Mark End of Lemon Creek Centre
LEMON CREEK, B.C.—Lemon Creek is a dying town.
Its pulse is getting weaker as the days pass; it shows but
a faint resemblance to its livelier days.
Once overflowing with a capacity population of 1,800, it
now.holds but a handful—some 450 evacuees.
The atmosphere is that of a
deserted settlement — quiet and
lonely. Children still roam the
avenues occasionally, but they are
much quieter. It seems as if their
very spirits have been dampened
by the appearance of the town.
Empty shacks line the streets,
and only scattered houses show
signs of being occupied. Many
houses have been stripped of their
lumber to make crates for the
relocating families, leaving skele­
ton frames which seem to domin­
ate the atmosphere of the settle­
ment.
Garden plots, once carefully cul­
tivated. are gradually returning to
nature. Weeds have sprung up in
many neglected vegetable gar­
dens, and what little crop avail­
able is shared by the remaining
families.
Dust is accumulating in the
school rooms and the church halls.
Although Lemon Creek was never
adequately served by electricity,
what little there was in use is
gradually being cut off. One bath­

house now serves for the ISO
people in the settlement. Only one
remains of the three stores which
used to do a thriving business —
the Avis’ store on Gilead and
Spire a.
Logging projects have been dis­
continued. Fuel stocks in unoccu­
pied houses are sufficient for the
use of the present population.
Social activities is practically at
an end. Only a negligible number
of youths are employed in the
camp. Lemon Creek is a settle­
ment of elderly people and small
children.
The Hakkokai maintains an
office next to Avis’ store, but its
activities are limited.
I
Lemon Creek is on its way out.*
To relocatees it is already just a
memory, and perhaps a symbol.
To those remaining also, it will
soon be but an episode in their
lives, for they are to be moved out
in a few short weeks, to be re­
located east of the Rockies, or be
repatriated to Japan.

ioned behind closed doors. But it
is safe to believe that Commis­
sioner Mead has had no small
share in whatever constructive
attitude the government has
brought to bear toward a settle­
ment of all the problems created
by the wartime evacuation.

Goodbye,

TMK?

“Now it is time for my exit.
Good-bye you say. You are retir­
ing to make room for younger
writers like F.A.M., R.I. and my­
self. Having always admired your
writing, I feel deeply honoured to
have reached your notice. But af­
ter this accolade, I shall, with the
impertinence of youth, accept
your invitation to “do something
about it.” The “it” in this case
is the funeral tone of your “Reluctant Answer.”
I challenge you to prove that
the gradual retirement of older
Niseis will aid us in achieving full
legal and real equality in Canada.
You state that this task requires
the conscious effort of everyone.
Conscious, because today, super­
ficial prosperity has lulled many
an
heart to indifference.
Yet you propose to withdraw your
support.

The latest government outlook on the Japanese Canadian
question, as revealed in a report by Labour Minister Hum­
phrey Mitchell in the House of Commons just before proro­
gation, is decidedly encouraging, especially as contrasted
against previously announced policies.
Mr. Mitchel] explained that the government policy for
this year was three-fold: (1) to carry out the repatriation
of all those who made voluntary applications (and who have
not cancelled them) ; (2) to complete, as far as possible, the
present dispersal program, and (3) to suspend compulsory
deportation until the Privy Council’s decision on the validity
of the deportation orders is learned, and then to review the
policy.
The repatriation on voluntary basis has been completed
except for a few hundred more persons whose transportation
to Japan is being arranged for this month.
Satisfactory progress is reported in the dispersal pro­
gram. It is particularly encouraging to note that the re­
settlers have been promised “every assistance and encourage­
ment possible, including the progressive relaxation of war­
time restrictions.”
“What my department has endeavored to do,” said Mr.

Deputy Commissioner Mead
Koval Canadian Mounted Police headquarters in Ottawa
have announced the retirement of John Frederick Mead from
the post of Deputy Commissioner of the force. For the past
several years Commissioner Mead has been second-in-com­
mand of the RCMP. after a service of almost forty years in
the multitudinous tasks of the famed police organization.
But consistent with the times, the Canadian Press Ottawa
account singled out for prominence the fact that he had
served as one of the three active members of the British
Columbia Security Commission, during the tense and diffi­
cult days of 1942’s evacuation.
It would be amiss for these columns to fail to record here
a belated tribute to Commissioner Mead. It is a tribute to
which most of the various evacuees who occupied positions
of leadership in those trying times will readily subscribe.
He was. it may be noted, somewhat handicapped at the
outset, since most of his relations with the pre-war Japanese
community had naturally been consequent upon his official
police duties. Accordingly, he was not fully conversant with
the growing- sense of citizenship responsibility among the
younger Canadian-Iyo
Tent of the community, who had
littie reason to trust the leadership of the older generation.
But within a short time, all those who were brought into
close contact with the Commissioner were much impressed
by his broad sympathy, his sincerity and genuine sense of

Ilis attitude toward the loud-mouthed racists and the
race-mongering so widespread and popular was always one
of strongest disapproval. And it was evident that he re­
gretted keenly the unhappiness and misery which he was
required to inflict, in the course of his official duties of law
.enforcement, upon thousands of people against whom no

THE

Elect Committee to Form
Young Buddhist Association
Over fifty Niseis, equally repre­
sented by men and women gather­
ed at 245 College St., on Septem- •
her S, for the first English service
and meeting sponsored by the To­
ronto Buddhist Temple.

Rev. T. Tsuji, who spoke at the
gathering, explained the difficul­
ties which the church has had to
lace since the evacuation and ask­
ed for the whole-hearted co-opera­
tion of the young people to realize
a vast and complete re-organiza­
tion of the church and its activi­
ties. '“To see this task through to
a successful end is a responsibility
that rests upon your shoulders and
mine/'’ he said.
Following the brief initial ser­
vice an informal meeting was con­
ducted to discuss the formation
of a Young Buddhists Association.
A vote unanimously in favor of
the Y.B.A. decided the immediate
course of action. As a first step
a temporary committee consisting
of five women and five men were
cliosyi to draft a constitution and
map out a general program of
future activities.

The five women nominated to
this committee are Misses Peggy
Harada, Fumiye Maeda, Toshiko
Maeda, Tsuruye Koyanagi. Nancy
Kido, and the men are Harry Kon­
do. Mamoru Nishi. Masao Naka­
mura, Charlie Nekoda and Toyoaki Takata. This committee will
meet at the home of Rev. Tsuji,
J2 Division St., on Sunday, Sep­
tember 15, at 2 p.m.

At the conclusion of the discus­
sion tea was served.
