and thoughtlessness on the part of a small few could hurt the name
of the whole group.
This is not a difficult problem. The people who have come to
Fingal are also concerned with making a good impression on the
native residents and becoming established in new homes in Ontario.
With the examples of easy adjustment that, relocated Japanese
have made in mind, we are sure that the Fingal newcomers will be
quite willing to take stock, and all of them, Niseis and Isseis alike,
will guard their behaviour so that their future in their new homesto-be will not be jeopardized.
And the earlier relocatees in St. Thomas will surely. do all they
can to help the hostellers find their footing in-their new venture.

Without Exaggeration

r

The property committee of the Japanese Canadiaii Com­
mittee for Democracy has prepared a questionnaire on
property and financial losses sustained as a result of the
evacuation, and Japanese evacuees in all parts of Canada
will shortly'be asked to complete these forms.
The information gathered in this way will foniu the basis
of an appeal, to be brought before the federal government
bv the Co-operative Committee on Japanese Canadians, for
the establishment of a Claims Commission to which -we may
apply for compensation.
.
The preamble to the questionnaire joints out that “as
full and accurate as possible information . . . without exaggevation or underestimation” be g-iven. The importance
of'this precaution cannot be overemphasized. It is too easy
to exaggerate our.g'rievances or to overvalue personal properties which have greater sentimental than intrinsic value.
There is no reason to. assume that if the government is
persuaded to set up the Commission2—compensation will be
granted on each of the different classifications outlined in
the questionnaire. For example, we do not think compen­
sation can justly be claimed for estimated “wages” or other
income which may have accrued had not the evacuation
taken place—just as those men who gave up well-paid jobs
to join the armed forces are not expected to claim compen­
sation commensurate to the sacrifice made. But the survey
which is intended to give a true picture of the extent of
economic losses must be .comprehensive.
Nor is there any reason to assume that compensation
will be based merely on the evidence of these questionnaires.
Further investigation will be found’necessary, and claims
will have to be established. Inaccurate or incomplete inform­
ation will only kick back against its author.
On the other hand, there is no doubt whatever in our
minds that the evacuees are entitled to a measure of .com­
pensation for their losses and that the government can be
persuaded to recognize that fact, especially when it has gone
on record as wishing' to deal justly with the Japanese
Canadians.
.
We have stated before, and it may be repeated here, that
the losses suffered by the evacuees are extraordinary, and
over and above the normal sacrifices, expected of Canadians
during a war.
..
We can rest assured that the problem of seeking property
losses compensation can be handled by no abler group than
■the Co-operative Committee' of Japanese Canadians. The
Co-operative Committee has approached the government
several times on behalf of the Japanese Canadians. Its voice
has been forthright, sincere and reasonable, and, we believe,
listened to with respect.
By presenting an honest and undistorted report of our
losses in the questionnaire, we can help the Co-operative
Committee to present a strong case- when they make their
representation to the government.

Worry in St Thomas
With recent influx of Japanese families from Neys to the newlyreated Department of Labour hostel at Fingal in Southern Ontaiio.
a wave of worried protests lu risen from some of the earlier Japanese
settlers in nearby St. Thoma
Apparently ome St. Thomas residents are highly concerned with
the impressions that may have been made upon the native residents
of that city by reported actions of a few of the new arrivals. Cases
of Nisei youths going about in large conspicuous groups, and childien
and adults talking loudly in Japanese in the streets have been noticed.
It would be unfair to suggest that the earlier Japanese in St. Thomas
do not welcome the new arrivals to their district. They understand
and sympathize with the reasons for the removal of the families from
cold forbidding Neys to the comparatively warmer Southern Ontario
sector in the face of the oncoming winter. But it is also easy to
understand the reasons why the St. Thomas resettlers should be eon-

Merry Christmas!"

Going out to you in .this week's mail is_a letter from The New
Canadian, asking you to place your greetings in our special Christmas
issue.
. ■
We are making this appeal for two reasons. First, because we think
saying “Merry ..Christmas’” through this newspaper is a very nice
gesture, and one which will be appreciated by all your friends through­
out Canada—even those with whom you've lost contact.
We have constantly tried to make this newspaper, apart from its
more serious objective, a friendly family newspaper through which
we can keep in touch with one another and see how everyone else is
getting along. And for that reason we have encouraged’club news,
your articles and write-ups. and contributions to our personal notes
department.
Now that Christmas is coming, we think it is quite in keeping
with our policy' and the holiday spirit to carry your greetings—in
attractive type—in our special Christmas edition.
The second reason is That we really need your support at this
time in meeting our accumulated expenses, and in preparing for another year of publication under conditions of increased costs.
We wish to thank you for the support you’ve given us during the
nd in previous years. We hope we can count on even wider
support now and in the future, because our need is greater.

A Happy Holiday For the San
A report from New Denver tells of a Christmas Cheer Fund being
started there, as is the annual custom, for the benefit of the SO-odd
patients in the Sanatorium.
This year, the many friends who have assisted the previous funds
are scattered across Canada by the mass relocation. This is just a
reminder to you in case you've forgotten. Your donation, no mattei

happy Yuletide celebration. .

Ward­

roper went on to say if Japanese

Canada, it is only fair that B.C.
should have her share.

“Why should we. above all the
other provinces, exclude them?"
asked Barney Allen, the third
speaker.

In times of war, considerations
of security override democratic
principles of fair and equal treat­
ment but, with the war over, we
should return to the British ideal
of democratic treatment for all
people of every race, stated Grant
Livingstone, final speaker in the
discussion. If such principles are
broken in the case of the Japa­
nese. they may be broken in the
case of any minority.

Personal Notes Across Canada

Rain, Snow Slow
Harvest Greatly

(Send in your personal notes

BARNWELL, Alta —Heavy falls
of fain and snow during October
in southern Alberta made the
harvest of sugar beets and other
vegetables extremely hard going
this year, reports a Barnwell
correspondent.
In the Barnwell and Picture
Butte areas, the sandy composi­
tion of the soil helped to offset the
excessive wetness and the harvest
has been completed, but in the
Raymond district, where the rain
and snow turned the fields into
sticky “gumbo,” it is reported that
some beets are still left out in
the fields.
This year the weather has been
favourable to the crops and the
yield of sugar beets was 17 or 18
tons to the acre.
The coldest November day in
some 15 years was recorded in
Barnwell on Nov. 22 when the
temperature sank to 20 below.
