taken by the Canadian Institute of Public Opinion in Feb3aaH..19H, that 33 percent of the Canadians were in favor
ot sending back to Japan “Japanese who are Canadian citi­

anti-Japanese feeling was not appreciably stronger in British
Columbia than elsewhere in Canada. As in the United States
thus antagonism in Canada has probably subsided to some
degree since the end of the war.

evacuation, which remains to be settled is that of indemnification
ror property losses suffered by Japanese evacuees.
With the
gradual settlement of
repatriation and dispersal questions, the
property issue may be expected to assume increasing importance

On the last day of the second session of the 20th Parliament
(August 31. 1946), Mr. Angus Maclnnis, C.C.F. member for

Van­

couver East, voiced a strong plea for the establishment of a
mission to investigate the losses sustained by the
evacuees w 11 n
a view to arriving at a fair settlement.
The main body of that
speech, which was delivered during the debate on the Department
of Labor supply, follows:

From The Christian Science Monitor

The first year of Allied occupa­
tion of Japan has marked notable
achievements. Physical disarma­
ment of Japan has been accom­
plished with hardly a hitch. Two
factors have greatly eased wl.at
looked like a delicate and possibly
dangerous task.
One was undivided authority.
American officials have had to
contend with few of the troubles
that have made such a mess in
Germany. Second was the disci­
plined determination of the Jap­
anese to bend like the bamboo
before the occupation storm, hop­
ing that its pressure would the
sooner be ended. Even with these
advantages. General MacArthur's
military measures deserve com­
mendation.
But on the side of mental dis­
armament the lavish laudations in
the report by a spokesman at the
MacArthur headquarters are a bit
too much to take. While not quite
claiming that Japan lias been
transformed into a peace-loving
democracy, the. ‘report seems to
confuse paper directives with ac­
complished social changes.
This bland assumption of many
American authorities in Japan
that the life and customs of a
nation can be made over in a year
by military decree is one of the
most discouraging features of the
occupation. One can rarely be
certain whether it comes out of
childish ignorance or brazen cyni­
cism. But it must be combated.

for it threatens to mislead the
Ameriean people.
The truth is that General MacArthur's regime lias b a r e i y
scratched the surface of Japan's
feudalism. The new Constitution
is a bright bauble handed the Diet
by American officials. It Ims no
real roots in Japanese life or
thought. It is unlikely to outlast
a relatively brief occupation. A
tax plan which was worked out
with care may do something to
weaken the Zaibatsu. but the
family system so closely connect­
ed with Japanese monopoly will
not be easily uprooted. And there
is little evidence that the muchheralded land reforms , .will be
effective.
The dismantling of stale Shinto
and the change in the' Emperor's
status may work real reforms, but
major results will take time. Jap­
anese Christians and liberals have
received fleeting, encouragement,
but will be in a precarious posi­
tion when the occupation ends.
Education has been only super­
ficially altered. And actually Japan
has continued to remain very
largely in the hands of the same
kind of people--although not the
same people...as those who launch­
ed her on the road io conquest.
Perhaps little more could be
done in a .short time. But it would
be franker and safer to say so
instead of pretending that what
could not be done in a decade has
been achieved in a year.
