Evacuation Is Criticized
A United States official has charged in a report to the
secretary of the interior, J. A. Krug, that the mass wartime
removal of 110,000 Japanese Americans from the Pacific
coast was not justified.
The author of the charge, Dillon S. Myer, is a former
director of the War Relocation Authority which supervised
the segregation of Japanese evacuees in relocation camps
and their subsequent resettlement in various parts of the
country. (In the United States, the Army was responsible
for ordering the evacuation' and moving the Japanese from
the coast areas, with the WRA taking charge thereafter.)
Today. Mr. Myer fills another responsible position as administrator of the United States Housing Authority, and
his words carry more weight than that of a private citizen.
Specifically, Mr. Myer charged:
(1) that reasons given by the Army for ordering the
mass evacuation were '‘highly arguable and wholly un
founded,’’ and that it was administratively feasible to con
duct the evacuation on a selective basis, and
(2) .that exclusion orders remained in effect “for months
and perhaps for years after there was any real justification
for'their contiifuance.”
The official attitude of the.United States government on
Japanese evacuation is revealed in a statement by the. secre
tary of the interior in April. 1946:
The chief military justification for the removal of these 110,000
persons was the possibility of the existence of a disloyal element
in their midst, the critical military situation in the Pacific which
increased uneasiness over the possibility of espionage or sabotage,
and the lack of time and facilities for individual loyalty screening.
The persons evacuated were not individually charged with any
crime or with disloyalty, and subsequent experience has clearly
.demonstrated that the vast majority of them-were and are good
Americans.
convincingly indicated by the outstanding
record of our 23,000 Japanese AmericansAvho served in the armed
forces in both the European and Pacific theatres, and by^the fact
that the rbcords of the intelligence agencies show no case of
sabotage or espionage by Americans of Japanese ancestry during
the entire war.
This statement was made far before the latest report by
Mr. Myer and is contained in a letter, addressed to the
speaker of the House of Representatives, in which the secre
tary urges the passage of a legislation to establish an evacua
tion claims commission. Mr. Krug viewed the evacuation as
a regrettable, necessity which resulted in losses to thousands
of innocent persons', and indicated that the government was
morally bound to make amends.
What has taken place in the United States is of interest
to us because a parallel problem was faced in Canada. Speak
ing on the Japanese policy in the House of Commons in
k August. 1944. Prime Minister King said:
f
The situation in the United States in a great many essentials
is the same as our own, and to the extent that it seems desirable
we shall endeavor to ensure that our policy takes account of the
policies which are being applied south of the border.
In view of this statement the latest government pro
posals on the control over Japanese Canadians is startling'.
For all practical purposes, the United States discontinued
its west coast exclusion policy at the end of 1944, while in
Canada, the government has not only continued the policy
up to the present, but it wants the controls continued long'er.
The evacuation in the United States was guided first and
foremost by reasons of national security, or at least thought
to be so guided, while in Canada, security reasons have long'
been superseded by political and racial considerations.
It is reported that the Canadian Parliament will shortly
be asked to consider a bill to extend a group of wartime
orders-in-council. Among them will be an order authorizing
the government to deny fishing licenses to Japanese Cana
dians. and another order authorizing government control
ever their movement. These restrictive orders are neither
necessary nor justifiable; they serve only to cheapen Cana
dian citizenship. The responsibility rests with Parliament
to see that these measures are deleted from the proposed bill.

is an experience that hits hard.
Boy From Nebraska is an angry
book. It gives a vivid picture of
a Nisei who made war by a writer
who saw war. There are no brass
bands or bursts of flag-waving to
screen the brutal and ugly things
that World War II was made of.
But the important war in Ben Ku
roki’s story -is not just the war
between countries in which he
donned his country's uniform, but
the war . against .prejudice and
blind hatred that ignores a uni
form and a chest covered with
hard-won ribbons for the hue of
a man’s skin and the slant of his
eye.
Ben Kuroki's
I recommend

then pass on to all hakujin

that
the
book
will
mean
the
most.
Although it had been reported
that plans by Warner Brothers to
film the book had been shelved,
apparently there is still hope that
the studio and actor John Gar
field, who would like to portray
Kuroki on the screen, will go
through with the idea it enough
public interest is expressed. Let
ters are being received by the
studio asking for the filming and
it is suggested that Niseis in Can
ada can do their share in this
drive by writing personally to
Warner Brothers in Burbank, Cal
ifornia, and urging hakujin friends
to do so.
Latest reports from the Amer
ican side say Harper Brothers,
the publishers, consider Boy
From Nebraska a financial as
well as an artistic success. The
book has sold 8,000 copies and
is still selling. So far the book
has not appeared in Canadian
bookstores but local booksellers
say that it may be ordered
through them.
Hi-Jinks on the Rink
The Editor is a wow. on ice.
He is the proud owner of a beau
tiful pair of skates acquired at
the beginning of the season and
his enthusiasm even surpasses my
own at times. You see, our com
munity rink is on the same block
right behind the house, so skating
in the evenings is an oftimes
thing.
Like the other night, when the
gang were playing Pom Pom

night,” which means there is
no hockey playing. In this game.
one man is It at the beginning
and stands in the center while
the mass tries to pass him going from one end of the rink to
the other. All those caught become It also and get in the mid
dle to help catch the rest. It is
an exciting game that requires
speedy skating, agility and good
padding on all vulnerable spots.
The Editor was in there from
the start. As I dodged by luck
- ment had the right to sell the
property at all. A trial case was
argued before the Exchequer
Court in May, 1944. But three
years later the court has still to
render a verdict a to whether
or not the government acted
legally.
Inquiries in Ottawa as to why
the decision has not been hand
ed down, draw a blank. No one
talking. So the government
is faced with holding hearings
to find out whether or not the
prices were fair in a deal which
may or may not have been legal
in the first place.

Evacuation Is Criticized
A United States official has charged in a report to the
secretary of the interior, J. A. Krug, that the mass wartime
removal of 110,000 Japanese Americans from the Pacific
coast was not justified.
The author of the charge, Dillon S. Myer, is a former
director of the War Relocation Authority which supervised
the segregation of Japanese evacuees in relocation camps
and their subsequent resettlement in various parts of the
country. (In the United States, the Army was responsible
for ordering the evacuation' and moving the Japanese from
the coast areas, with the WRA taking charge thereafter.)
Today. Mr. Myer fills another responsible position as administrator of the United States Housing Authority, and
his words carry more weight than that of a private citizen.
Specifically, Mr. Myer charged:
(1) that reasons given by the Army for ordering the
mass evacuation were '‘highly arguable and wholly un
founded,’’ and that it was administratively feasible to con
duct the evacuation on a selective basis, and
(2) .that exclusion orders remained in effect “for months
and perhaps for years after there was any real justification
for'their contiifuance.”
The official attitude of the.United States government on
Japanese evacuation is revealed in a statement by the. secre
tary of the interior in April. 1946:
The chief military justification for the removal of these 110,000
persons was the possibility of the existence of a disloyal element
in their midst, the critical military situation in the Pacific which
increased uneasiness over the possibility of espionage or sabotage,
and the lack of time and facilities for individual loyalty screening.
The persons evacuated were not individually charged with any
crime or with disloyalty, and subsequent experience has clearly
.demonstrated that the vast majority of them-were and are good
Americans.
convincingly indicated by the outstanding
record of our 23,000 Japanese AmericansAvho served in the armed
forces in both the European and Pacific theatres, and by^the fact
that the rbcords of the intelligence agencies show no case of
sabotage or espionage by Americans of Japanese ancestry during
the entire war.
This statement was made far before the latest report by
Mr. Myer and is contained in a letter, addressed to the
speaker of the House of Representatives, in which the secre
tary urges the passage of a legislation to establish an evacua
tion claims commission. Mr. Krug viewed the evacuation as
a regrettable, necessity which resulted in losses to thousands
of innocent persons', and indicated that the government was
morally bound to make amends.
What has taken place in the United States is of interest
to us because a parallel problem was faced in Canada. Speak
ing on the Japanese policy in the House of Commons in
k August. 1944. Prime Minister King said:
f
The situation in the United States in a great many essentials
is the same as our own, and to the extent that it seems desirable
we shall endeavor to ensure that our policy takes account of the
policies which are being applied south of the border.
In view of this statement the latest government pro
posals on the control over Japanese Canadians is startling'.
For all practical purposes, the United States discontinued
its west coast exclusion policy at the end of 1944, while in
Canada, the government has not only continued the policy
up to the present, but it wants the controls continued long'er.
The evacuation in the United States was guided first and
foremost by reasons of national security, or at least thought
to be so guided, while in Canada, security reasons have long'
been superseded by political and racial considerations.
It is reported that the Canadian Parliament will shortly
be asked to consider a bill to extend a group of wartime
orders-in-council. Among them will be an order authorizing
the government to deny fishing licenses to Japanese Cana
dians. and another order authorizing government control
ever their movement. These restrictive orders are neither
necessary nor justifiable; they serve only to cheapen Cana
dian citizenship. The responsibility rests with Parliament
to see that these measures are deleted from the proposed bill.

Mr. Fines said when a hotel is

meals to the general public. Re
fusal to serve a meal on racial
grounds was interpreted by Mr.
Fines as refusal to serve the general public.
The minister said

Nisei Golden Glover Praised
By Vancouver Sports Writers
Miyasaki Top Man

had nothing to be sorry about in
their foray into the Pacific Coast
eliminations at Vancouver’s Exhi
bition Gardens.
Especially singled out for menLion was young Kan Araki, who
was commented on by three writ•°rs in the Vancouver press, Sunwriter Jim Kearney called Kan
“the game, durable Japanese kid
from the Okanagan,” while Sun
columnist Alf Cottrell said:

“It would be tough to pick the
standout fight. A good, rough,

named
Larry
Rosenthal was

given a fair shaking-up by a Jap
youngster from Kelowna named,
Kenny Araki. Though Larry de
servedly won the nod, the sluging, bleeding Jap got the ap
plause of the mob. What a nice
bouncer for an East End night
club either one of those boys
would make.”
Eric Whitehead of the Daily
Province had this to say about
game little Japanese
Araki:
fighter from Kelowna gave one of
the best exhibitions of the night
in his gory scrap with Vancou
ver’s Rosenthal. Rosenthal was
too strong for the Kelownian but
Araki was still there at the bell,
swinging from instinct.”
