to

catees.

The placement of persons suit­
ed to woods labor in northern
Ontario has largely been com­
pleted, and the residue at the
Neys Camp who are unsuited for
local placements will be trans­
ferred to Fingal hostel on or
about Nov. 15. A few families may
go to Farnham.
J. S. Burns, who was super­
visor of Neys hostel, has gone to
Fingal where he will take over
the duties of supervisor there.
Angler hostel in northern On­
tario has closed after a relatively
short existence. The one other
hostel at Hearst has been taken
over by the Spruce Falls Power
and Paper Co. to house their em­
ployees, which are mainly families from Neys and Angler. What
the ultimate fate of Neys hostel,
scheduled for early closure, will
be is not yet known.
In addition to receiving fam­
ilies from northern Ontario, Fin­
gal hostel will be a temporary
home for several families coming
out from Slocan and New Denver.
The total number arriving at
Fingal from Neys and B.C. is
expected to be somewhat in ex­
cess of 200 persons.
Officials in charge of Japanese
placement have expressed the
hope that the evacuees will re­
settle through the farming areas
and small cities of south-eastern
Ontario instead of flocking to the
Toronto-Hamilton area.

legislature's committee. Oct. 31.
The Vancouver Sun reported
Mr.. Fletcher as stating “There
will be no white men in Canada in
a hundred years. This is not a
question of racial or color dis­
crimination. It boils down to selfpreservation."
Mr. Fletcher declared that Ori­
entals would “vote in a bloc and
this would be taken advantage of
by some political group," which
would gradually lower the bars
against immigration.
“If the bars were lowered, we
would have 50 million Hindus here
in a year, if transportation was
available."

Evacuation Losses Survey
Becoming increasingly evident in recent weeks is the
fact that'? the attention of Japanese ' Canadians and of
organizations concerned with their welfare is turning to
the question of property losses suffered by Japanese
evacuees. There is building up a justifiable pressure on
the government to give a proper accounting of evacuees’
properties handled through the Custodian of Japanese
Properties, and to make restitution where claims for losses
have been established.
The Vancouver Consultative Council is preparing a
pamphlet on the matter. The Co-operative Committee on
Japanese Canadians has appointed a sub-committee to “in­
vestigate and report on present legal restrictions and the
sale of property belonging to persons of Japanese ancestry.”
]n its report, this group has suggested the following recom­
mendation as a part of the Committee’s program:
That a
property

claims commission should

where

possible, to

to

restore

losses

where

be established

order restitution

for

property cannot be restored, and to grant compensation for net
loss in income as a result of evacuation.

Apart from minor adjustments and further clarifica­
tions which may later be found of practical necessity, the
principle contained in the recommendation is one on which
we are agreed, and the sub-committee deserves high com­
mendation for its achievement.
But while the work done so far in connection with the
campaign to seek restitution for;, evacuation Josses - has
been valuable enough*' in throwingJigHt on this phase of
wartime injustices, it is still far froth' completion? In fact
an enormous amount of preparatory work remains’ undone.
There is yet to be estimated the extent of losses
incurred, not only on properties handled through the Cus­
todian, but also as result of forced liquidation of other
properties and business enterprises. And in much of the
information already gathered, there is little or no organi­
zation of data to include itemized statements of properties
and goods involved, sale price, valuation, and where pos­
sible the basis for a just valuation. In other words, what
is required is a fairly comprehensive survey of evacuation
Such a survey will persuade the government and the
Canadian public more effectively than will any amount of
argument, that the process of evacuation entailed losses
extensive and serious enough as to justify the establishment of a claims commission, and that these losses are
over and ^)ove the financial and personal sacrifices expected of and shared by all Canadians in the war.
The evacuation losses survey should properly have
been one of the first projects to be undertaken by the
proposed national federation. But rather than wait for the
organization of that body, the project may .well be under­
taken immediately by local Japanese Canadian organizations.

Applying for Naturalization
Naturalization is one of the rights that has been denied to the
immigrant Japanese in Canada for some time. But now that the
shouting and the tumult of the wartime evacuation-relocation period
is dying away, the opportunity is open for all Issei to apply for
citizenship in their adopted country.

This is a problem in which the Nisei can do a great deal to aid
the older folk. In the East there are reports of many older* Japanese
filing their Declaration of Intention. The only requirements for that
initial act are to obtain the declaration forms from a local Courthouse
and have a portrait taken to attach to the declaration.

tA

Si­
llin'

After the Declaration of Intention has been filled out. it is posted
m a public place for a period of a year. In it the applicant says it is
his intention to become a British subject and reside permanently in
Canada, and that he will, before being naturalized, renounce
the state of which he was a subject or citizen.
When the year has elapsed, an application must be made and
posted for three month . and any opposition to the application m a y
be filed dining that period. 1 he applicant comes before a judge for
examination after the three months.
Tlie judge will examine the applicant on four points of qualifica­
tion. These are good character: an adequate knowledge of English or
French, or if he has not adequate knowledge of either language, con­
tinuous residence in Canada for over twenty years: an adequate knowl­
edge of the responsibilities and privileges of Canadian citizenship:
and an intention of permanent residence in Canada.
These qualifications are those set out in the new Citizenship Act
which becomes law in January. 1947.
The Canadian-born Japanese will be able, to judge the points where
their parents or friends need assistance, towards filling the above
requirements and should be able to find the suitable machinery for
this help through civic, government or other interested bodies. Classes
w citizenship are being held in many Canadian cities and enquiries

Mr. Brewin’s wire suggests further
that acceptance of the cheques by the
property owners might interfere with
the work of the Co-operative Committee
which is planning a delegation to the
government to press for the establish­

A Winnipeg lawyer consulted in refer­

be. wise not to accept payments at the
present time.

Cheques are being sent out by
registered mail by Custodian pur­
porting to be in full payment of
balances from sale of properties of
Japanese Canadians by Custodian.
In our opinion acceptance of cheques
would be fatal bar to further legal
claims in respect to sale of proper­
ties and might prejudice contem­
plated representations to govern­
ment for appointment of a claims
commission to review whole matter
of forced sales. I would advise that
