The strike was settled on Nov.

California's Alien Land Law
In the November a elections. Californians defeated the
Proposition 15. which, in effect, asked the voters to approve
certain amendments to the State’s Alien Land Law.
The Alien Land Law was passed in 1920 by an over­
whelming vote of 660.000 to 22.000. It prohibited aliens
‘‘ineligible for citizenship” from purchasing or owning land
in the state of California. The validity of this piece of purely
discriminatory legislation was challenged at that time, but
it was upheld by the United States Supreme Court.
While the Land Law was originally intended to operate
ag'ainst all aliens of Asiatic origin, todav. as the result of
amendments to the U.S. naturalization laws, it operates
almost solely ag-ainst the Japanese.
Amendments to the Land Law were passed in 1923 and
again in 1943. the effect of which were to make the Land
Law more stricter in interpretation and easier to enforce.
The amendments made it illegal for Japanese aliens to
acquire property in the names of their American born offspring, and property acquired in that way could be taken
back by the State. Not only were Isseis prohibited to
“acquire and possess land, but they were also forbidden to
“enjoy, use. cultivate, occupy, transfer, transmit.” or to
“have in whole or in part the beneficial use” of real property.
The original Land Law made room for additional amend­
ments, and there was actually, no important need to have
the two amendments referred to the voters. But once sub­
mitted to a popular vote and approved, they would auto­
matically be written into the State's constitution. That end
was apparently the aim of Senator J. B. Tenney who spon­
sored the recent measure asking the people of California to
“validate” legislative amendments to the Alien Land Law.
The plan backfired, however, for Proposition 15 was defeated

Farm Work in Southern Ontario

farms of southern Ontario, since
I was not able to cover the sugar
beet areas on my trip.
From various reports by people
on southern Ontario farms, em­
ployment conditions and wage
scales seem to be generally good.
On year-around employment, men
are guaranteed from $75 to
per month, while women and
students earn around 40 cents per
hour in seasonal employment, In
one orchard, they paid a flat: 45
cents per hour, year-around.
On its surface, these farm incomes appear lower than that of
urban employment. Actually that
is not so.
In most cases, farm
workers are supplied with a
house.
Fuel i;s often free, and
vegetables are theirs for the
arrowing; These arrangemeats -ar­

ford a distinct advantage over the
lot of urban workers who must
contend with the housing problem
and the high cost of living.
But what if there should be a
depression? I feel that this question. which enters the field of
economics, is beyond me. But Mr.
Masanori Yamada, of St. Thomas,
ventured an opinion which is
quite optimistic:

Of the 12 million population
in Canada, Ontario has approxi­
mately four million, and Que­
bec 3J/2 million. Together they
add up to five-eighths of the
total Canadian population. Onhas 33 cities with population
of

agricultural products, and a

workers.

Top education
finals as well as 400 educators
including teachers
of
girls,
higher and normal
schools,
watched dance instructors at
the popular Ginza dance hall,
downtown Tokyo, demonstrate
the variations of rhumba, tango,
lox trot and waltz.

| Observers said in the event

ruling that a Czechoslovakianborn butcher, Jarsolov Resek.
will be allowed to change his
name to Gerald Rennie. A great
deal has been said and written
about
the
assimilation
of
foreign-born people who migrate
to Canada so that they become
a part of a united whole rather
than constitute isolated groups.
That idea—and we think it is
the right idea—would not be
promoted by refusing a CzechoSlovakian the Britishi name by

DEMOCRACY LESSON
Nisei soldiers give the Japan­
ese perhaps the finest available
object-lesson in democracy. . . .
Some Nisei have located parents
or grandparents in Japanese
villages and are overwhelming
the old people with presents
and tours of Tokyo sights.
These Nisei seem to many Japanese a sufficient proof that
America means what she says
that
democracy
and
about
newspaper stories about dis­
in
the
United
crimination
States must have been part of
the same old lying propaganda.

Being one who does not believe
everything he reads in the news­
papers or sees in the Hollywood
fantasies, 1 am inclined to sus­
pect a wily press agent’s hand in
the story. But then perhaps I am
being unduly cynical.
However, the point that im­
mediately came to mmd was,
how would the sober Nisei who
are planning for the f orthConcoming
National

vention .in the New Year react
to a proposal of staging a N isei
Beauty Contest to enliven and
enhance the proceedings.
Our American cousins used to
pick Queens of JACL conventions
with all due pomp and ceremony
in the days of yore and to many
of the jaded delegates who will
attend the coming assembly
similar production might prove to
be a much-needed refresher.
It is a question that could stand
considerable pondering. There is
a great profusion of young beauties among the Nisei Canadians
‘and a dignified beauty contest
(which if it is like the recent
UBC tournament will be judged
not only for good looks but also
personality, f a c i a 1 expression,
walk, figure, charm and intelligence) should prove a definite
asset to a national representative

ducting a nation-wide campaign
to gain 1.000 recruits for Canada’s

ent put it, "The Mounties are on
their biggest man hunt.”
This appeal for recruits should
be just down some Nisei s alley.
Providing he fits the fundamental
requirements of being over five
feet eight inches, between 18-30
years of age and in the state ot
single blessedness, there is noth­
ing to bar any Nisei from making
an application.

Personal Notes

Saints Upset Bombers, East Enders
Sweep Arrows, Aces Edge Hellcats
TORONTO, Ont.—Toronto’s melon loop resumed opera­
tions last week after a three-week lay-off for renovations of
the Church of All Nations gym. Saints-, East Enders and
Aces ended up on top in the three games of the evening.
FIRST GAME:

The three towering Aliyasaki
brothers and' guard Frank Sumi
■spiked the Saints to an upset vic­
tory
over
the
highly-touted
Bombers in the first game of the
night. Inability to hit the hoop
and failure to capitalize on oppor­
tunities offered proved the down­
fall of the starry Bomber team.
On the other hand, the younger
Saints squad did some sharp snip­
ing under the bucket.
Pacers of the losing team were
Joe Akiyama, Jeep Inamoto and
Idy Idenouye.

Referees—Nakamoto and Joe

The report, filed by the Times’
correspondent in San Francisco,
attributed the improved relationships enjoyed by the returned
evacuees "not only to the war
record of the Niseis, but in some
quarters to a diminution in the
economic competition threatened
by those of Japanese descent.”

THIRD GAME:
Aces 25, Hellcats 22 '

The youthful Aces barely edged
out the fighting Hellcats in the
only close game of the evening.
The two teams engaged in a
rough and tumble match that
ended up with a 25-22 score.
Thirty-four fouls were called
on the 13 players in the game and
two were sent to the showers on
personals.
Yon

Chuck Oda were the pick of the
winners, while Mush Fukumoto,

the load of the losing side.
