Mature Citizenship
One item which may well be included in the current year’s
program of activities of Japanese Canadian clubs and organi
zations is a study of the country that we live in. The study
would include such matters as the geography, the history,
the forms of government, the judicial system, the political
party system and the electoral methods of the land.
Such a study will be vitally interesting to Japanese Cana
dians, who are realizing a new sense of the vastness and
the "diversity of the nation, and who are developing a new
awareness of its judicial and political institutions.
Japanese Canadians are probably the most widelytravelled group in Canada today. Not only that,, they are
living more or less on permanent basis in all of the nine
provinces and in many remote corners of the country. "Aet
they are showing a keen interest in activities of and sharing
many problems in common with friends in other provinces.
This is quite a different picture from pre-war days when the
bulk of them lived in self-contained settlements along the
British Columbia coast.
The growing political awareness among Japanese Cana
dians stems from many reasons. One is the gradual growth
of young Niseis into adulthood. Another is their acquisition
of the franchise in eastern provinces. But most important
of all perhaps is the valuable first-hand object lesson they
received in the question of compulsory deportation.
The Japanese deportation policy, it has been insistently
pointed out, was not in keeping with our ideas of democratic
rights. That is true enough. But it is only when rights are
threatened or taken away that their importance is fully
realized. Japanese Canadians have watched with hope a
mounting tide of public opinion against the government’s
.announced policy. And they have seen the democratic pro
cess of a government yielding before the justly aroused
public opinion, an action which could hardly have taken place
elsewhere than in a democratic country.
X:
=i:
*
=t-
It may be stated that Japanese Canadians oh the whole
have come through the trying war years with remarkably
little bitterness. Their co-operation with government policies
have shown them to be good citizens even in the hardest of
times.
Now they are ready to take further positive strides
towards reaching the true maturity of citizenship that comes
when they can see themselves, not as a group apart, but

Getting a Citizenship Certificate
OTTAWA.—Bowing to a wide
spread protest about the high ?5
cost of obtaining a citizenship
certificate.-the secretary of state
announced that the fee would be
reduced to SI for Canadia.h-born
and naturalized citizens and will
be free to war veterans. The livedollar charge will still apply to
those applying for naturalization
papers in the future.
The procedure necessary to get
a citizenship certificate, which is
not necessary except for purposes
of proof of citizenship, is outlined
as follows: There are two types
of certificates. One is available as
"proof of citizenship" to people
who are already Canadian citi
zens: the other is given to per
sons just attaining Canadian citi
zenship status.
The first type, which costs $1.
may be obtained by applying to
the clerk of the county circuit
court, filling in a FORM and
mailing it—with the dollar—to
the
Canadian
Citizenship
Branch, Secretary of State de
partment.
Ottawa.
The
certifi
cate will be forwarded in due
course. These certificates are
free to war veterans.
The second
type — which
re
quires examination by the courts
(i.e. naturalization examination)
is available to British subjects,
wives of Canadian citizen^ who
have been resident in Canada
for a year, or aliens who have
resided in the country for five
years.
Applicants in this class are
examined by a judge of the
county circuit court after filling
in the form. The clerk then for
wards the application—together
with $5—to Ottawa and the cer
tificate is forwarded if the ap
plication is in order.
It is stressed that all Canadianborn and naturalized citizens
automatically became “Canadi
ans" when the new Citizenship
Act. came into effect on New
Year's day. it is not necessary
legally to obtain the citizenship
certificate since there is no occa
sion on which a person can be
called upon to show his certificate,
except that it may be useful when
travelling outside of Canada, but
it is expected that many will ob
tain them as souvenirs.

local “Japanese situation." Grad
ually the talk moved around,

tion of military service. It seem

mitting any such danger, what
were the objections of the Army
to a separate and distinct Nisei

Col. Mulally was an unexpected
ally. He agreed with me on “all
points of principle."
Our second meeting took place
under similar conditions in No
vember of that year. War. by that
time, was imminent. I had written
an article in The New Canadian,
speculating as to probable de
velopments if war actually came.
There was a more serious note to
this meeting, and Col. Mulally was
curious to know what had prompt
ed the article and from where the
information had come. Soon we
were back to the question of Nisei
service, and I had the opportunity
of pointing out that three excep
tional cases of volunteer enlist
ment had taken place, without any
of the feared “incidents.”
It seemed urgent that not only
should Nisei volunteers be wel
comed: but that the draft be ex
tended immediately to all Oriental
Canadians. The approach of war,
far from being a deterrent to such
a policy, was the most vital reason
for a swift and radical change in
policy, it was plain that Japanese
Canadians in uniform would be the
most powerful factor—perhaps the
only factor— in influencing public
opinion for the good. And by that

an all-Nisei unit offered the most
practicable solution.
The argument,

There were, however, and oddfr
enough in the tense months just
preceding the autbreak of fas
Pacific war, three aberrations o?
policy. Three Nisei were success
ful in enlisting as volunteers.
One
of
these,
Shigeo Kato,
was an experienced woodsman
and was accepted into the For
estry Corps. After serving in
Scotland he was transferred to
Intelligence and saw service as
a warrant officer in India and
Malaya. The other two were
accepted for service in Princt

These new develop

toward the relaxation of the

Mature Citizenship
One item which may well be included in the current year’s
program of activities of Japanese Canadian clubs and organi
zations is a study of the country that we live in. The study
would include such matters as the geography, the history,
the forms of government, the judicial system, the political
party system and the electoral methods of the land.
Such a study will be vitally interesting to Japanese Cana
dians, who are realizing a new sense of the vastness and
the "diversity of the nation, and who are developing a new
awareness of its judicial and political institutions.
Japanese Canadians are probably the most widelytravelled group in Canada today. Not only that,, they are
living more or less on permanent basis in all of the nine
provinces and in many remote corners of the country. "Aet
they are showing a keen interest in activities of and sharing
many problems in common with friends in other provinces.
This is quite a different picture from pre-war days when the
bulk of them lived in self-contained settlements along the
British Columbia coast.
The growing political awareness among Japanese Cana
dians stems from many reasons. One is the gradual growth
of young Niseis into adulthood. Another is their acquisition
of the franchise in eastern provinces. But most important
of all perhaps is the valuable first-hand object lesson they
received in the question of compulsory deportation.
The Japanese deportation policy, it has been insistently
pointed out, was not in keeping with our ideas of democratic
rights. That is true enough. But it is only when rights are
threatened or taken away that their importance is fully
realized. Japanese Canadians have watched with hope a
mounting tide of public opinion against the government’s
.announced policy. And they have seen the democratic pro
cess of a government yielding before the justly aroused
public opinion, an action which could hardly have taken place
elsewhere than in a democratic country.
X:
=i:
*
=t-
It may be stated that Japanese Canadians oh the whole
have come through the trying war years with remarkably
little bitterness. Their co-operation with government policies
have shown them to be good citizens even in the hardest of
times.
Now they are ready to take further positive strides
towards reaching the true maturity of citizenship that comes
when they can see themselves, not as a group apart, but
simply as Canadians sharing the rights and the duties and
a common destiny with 12Ik million fellow Canadians.
An important aid to those seeking that goal is through
a thorough understanding and knowledge of Canada, her
institutions and her history.

It is a very chilly day7 and it i

s But, earmuffs don’t look nice’.
I, showing a

"ain't looks, it's comfort.
As we go out the weather

Ion know, shivers Arabella, it's
cold, isn’t it? My ears-are cold.
I ignore her with magnificent
disdain and nearly walk into an
adjacent hydro pole. This is my
hour of triumph.
Xe, clings Arabella, please let

My ears are getting cold.
I look at her as she 'brrr

I am lost. Momentarily forgetting

ler-‘ happily puts them on and

of the Japanese Canadians left in .
Canada are more or less s etuea:
the prologue is nearly ove
now
comes the play, itself.
A BAFFLING PROBLEM
In more ways than one the uprooting of so many* thousands of
people from their established
ways of lite' and tra
them to different nar
of the
country, to new jobs and to new
surroundings, has proved to be a
sad, even a tragic occurrence. In
the main, the evacuees have met
their trials and tribulations with
a
good
deal
of self-control,
patience and courage. There is
something to
, also by way of
defence on behalf of the Govern
ment organization to which was
given
the
responsibility
for
evacuation. Faced with the seem
ing necessity7 to move without de
lay so many* people from the West
Coast presented a more or less
baffling problem. Where should
these people go and what accommodations for food and shelter
could be found?
Where speed
seemed the essence of the tlxitis:
it is little wonder that methods
were used which now seem somey. All
what harsh and unnece
through the resettlement pe riod
also, two problems were ever to
the fore, resistance to movement
on the. part, of the-evacuees ami a
lack of acceptance on the part of
practically all Eastern communi
ties. During all this time a bitter
war was being waged between
Canada and Japan: emotions ran
high; rumors, many of them com
pletely unfounded were started,
circulated and believed;
just
where the truth of the situation
lay was hard to determine, Cndoubtedly, for many7 month: too
little was done to produce a better
community* acceptance in the
Eastern provinces; the result was
that during most of the war the
really* good-jobs were scarce and
some areas of employment were
entirely closed to the newcomers.
The inducements used by the.
authorities to get the consent of
the evacuees to accept the Gov
ernment plan of dispersal and
move East of the Rockies were,
for a democratic country, drastic
to say the least. The whole thing
al and
seemed like a game o
error.
The miracle is that, despite all
obstacles, many thousands of Jap
anese Canadians have moved
across the Rockies and are now
relocated in new jobs and in new
homes. Many of these jobs, it is
true, are not wholly satisfactory
and many of the so-called homes
are hardly worthy of the name. On.
the whole, however, there seems
to be an air of eager confidence
which betokens well for The
future.
So much for the retrospect.
What are the indications for a
satisfactory future for the Jap
anese Canadians who have elect
ed to throw in their lot with
Canada? While no one except a
prophet or. as the Bible says, the
son of a prophet, would be equal
to the making of a definite statemeat on a matter so uncertain,
there are three or four-considerations that should throw some
light on the question. I would
like to discuss them one by one.
generally understood that during
the next parliamentary session.
The Government will make a clear
statement of policy in regard to
the Japanese Canadian question.
It
.mthinkable that so long
after the conclusion of the
i
wa r.
one small section of ourr population, one too. with an unblemished
record a
any act of sabotconcerned, should be con
tinned to be thought of and
treated as enemy aliens. One of
rhe boasts of democracy is that
eventually it corrects
ts mistakes. In ray way of thinking, it
almost certain that within the
next few months or even weelthe irritating and wasteful rules
on travel and property purchase
will be lifted.
HOUSING EASES
ib) In all of our relocation
plans, perhaps the greatest hind
rance io success so far has been
the housing shortage. Even when
jobs have been plentiful, the in
ability to find living quarters has
been an ever-present handicap. U
is true, the readiness of the Gov
ernment of recent months to
grant licenses to purchase homes
has eased, the situation a good
deal. This to the few has been
a real boon. For every family.
though, with the money to buy a
house, there have been at least
ten without such, The result has
been a constant frustration and
particularly
to
disappointment
families with small children. The
absurdly* high prices of homes,
too, has been a deterrent. Every
indication now points to the fact
that the worst part of the housing
Prices
problem is behind t
seemed to have pa ed their
zenith and there are n ow more
rooms and apartments to rent
than at any time during the last
two years. One family7 last week
had a chance to rent five apart
ments before taking the one they
did. With a house building boom
already on and with production
on the increase, now that the
strike-fest is over, experts agree
that we can confidently look for
ward to the time when houses for
purchase or for rent will be ob
tainable on a more normal basis.
TIDE AGAINST RACISM
(c) A matter of utmost im
portance to all minority groups in
Canada is the mounting hostility
to all forms of racial intolerance.
This is perhaps the most heart
warming trend that has come out
of the recent war. This new atti
tude seems to have had a spon
taneous origin; it permeates all
ranks of society and is as wide as
the country itself. It looks as if
the time is soon coming when the
pure “racist" will find himself a
poor minority against the tide of
The furore re
public opinion,
cently created when
student of the University of To
ronto was refused participation in
a bridge tournament is but one
example of the changing attitude
of the people, Dozens of other
examples will come to mind.
Someone has said that the elimi
nation of race prejudice is the
next great task of democracy. Al
though a. measure of intolerance
will undoubtedly remain for many7
generations, the rabid type, which
forbids equal opportunities to all
for employment. education and
cultural advantages is already on
the way out.
BRIGHT
RESTRICTIONS
FUTURE IS
(a) First and foremost of the
matters bearing on the future
would be the prospects for the renioval of the present restrictions.
These prospects are exceedingly*
(d) The last item I would
mention as givin, r hope for the
future is that the Japanese Canadians now East of the Rockies are
in places of rare opportunity. It
has been, fortunate for the relocatees that their movement East
took place at. times when jobs

Although no Government
statement has a; > yet been made

A BAFFLING PROBLEM
In more ways than one the uprooting of so many* thousands of
people from their established
ways of lite' and tra
them to different nar
of the
country, to new jobs and to new
surroundings, has proved to be a
sad, even a tragic occurrence. In
the main, the evacuees have met
their trials and tribulations with
a
good
deal
of self-control,
patience and courage. There is
something to
, also by way of
defence on behalf of the Govern
ment organization to which was
given
the
responsibility
for
evacuation. Faced with the seem
ing necessity7 to move without de
lay so many* people from the West
Coast presented a more or less
baffling problem. Where should
these people go and what accommodations for food and shelter
could be found?
Where speed
seemed the essence of the tlxitis:
it is little wonder that methods
were used which now seem somey. All
what harsh and unnece
through the resettlement pe riod
also, two problems were ever to
the fore, resistance to movement
on the. part, of the-evacuees ami a
lack of acceptance on the part of
practically all Eastern communi
ties. During all this time a bitter
war was being waged between
Canada and Japan: emotions ran
high; rumors, many of them com
pletely unfounded were started,
circulated and believed;
just
where the truth of the situation
lay was hard to determine, Cndoubtedly, for many7 month: too
little was done to produce a better
community* acceptance in the
Eastern provinces; the result was
that during most of the war the
really* good-jobs were scarce and
some areas of employment were
entirely closed to the newcomers.
The inducements used by the.
authorities to get the consent of
the evacuees to accept the Gov
ernment plan of dispersal and
move East of the Rockies were,
for a democratic country, drastic
to say the least. The whole thing
al and
seemed like a game o
error.
The miracle is that, despite all
obstacles, many thousands of Jap
anese Canadians have moved
across the Rockies and are now
relocated in new jobs and in new
homes. Many of these jobs, it is
true, are not wholly satisfactory
and many of the so-called homes
are hardly worthy of the name. On.
the whole, however, there seems
to be an air of eager confidence
which betokens well for The
future.
So much for the retrospect.
What are the indications for a
satisfactory future for the Jap
anese Canadians who have elect
ed to throw in their lot with
Canada? While no one except a
prophet or. as the Bible says, the
son of a prophet, would be equal
to the making of a definite statemeat on a matter so uncertain,
there are three or four-considerations that should throw some
light on the question. I would
like to discuss them one by one.

the next parliamentary session.
The Government will make a clear
statement of policy in regard to
the Japanese Canadian question.
It

after the conclusion of the

treated as enemy aliens. One of
rhe boasts of democracy is that
eventually it corrects
ts mistakes. In ray way of thinking, it
almost certain that within the
next few months or even weelthe irritating and wasteful rules
on travel and property purchase
will be lifted.
HOUSING EASES
ib) In all of our relocation
plans, perhaps the greatest hind
rance io success so far has been
the housing shortage. Even when
jobs have been plentiful, the in
ability to find living quarters has
been an ever-present handicap. U
is true, the readiness of the Gov
ernment of recent months to
grant licenses to purchase homes
has eased, the situation a good
deal. This to the few has been
a real boon. For every family.

house, there have been at least

too, has been a deterrent. Every
indication now points to the fact
that the worst part of the housing

seemed to have pa ed their
zenith and there are n ow more
rooms and apartments to rent
than at any time during the last
two years. One family7 last week
had a chance to rent five apart
ments before taking the one they
did. With a house building boom
already on and with production
on the increase, now that the
strike-fest is over, experts agree
that we can confidently look for
ward to the time when houses for
purchase or for rent will be ob
tainable on a more normal basis.
TIDE AGAINST RACISM
(c) A matter of utmost im
portance to all minority groups in
Canada is the mounting hostility
to all forms of racial intolerance.
This is perhaps the most heart
warming trend that has come out
of the recent war. This new atti
tude seems to have had a spon
taneous origin; it permeates all
ranks of society and is as wide as
the country itself. It looks as if
the time is soon coming when the
pure “racist" will find himself a
poor minority against the tide of
The furore re
public opinion,
cently created when

ronto was refused participation in

example of the changing attitude
of the people, Dozens of other
examples will come to mind.
Someone has said that the elimi
nation of race prejudice is the
next great task of democracy. Al
though a. measure of intolerance
will undoubtedly remain for many7
generations, the rabid type, which
forbids equal opportunities to all
for employment. education and
cultural advantages is already on
the way out.

matters bearing on the future
would be the prospects for the renioval of the present restrictions.
These prospects are exceedingly*
