“Be it resolved that this meeting go on record to stress pro

In a statement to The Nev
Canadian, the JCCD said tha t
grave concern was felt at the
probability that the government
intended to continue the restrictions on free movement and fish
ing after March 3.1.
"The precepts of Canadian citi
zenship do not sanction any situa
tion whereby Japanese Canadians
be forced to share unequally with
their fellow citizens of other races,
the full rights and privileges of
citizenship. Restrictions on fishing
can only be looked upon
denial of the fundamental
of Canadian citizens to do useful
work,' the JCCD statement said.
The statement pointed out that
with widespread re-settlement of
evacuees now achieved, there was
no justification for prohibiting
part of
free movement in
Canada., and that there should be
no restricted areas in Canada.

The Future of Alberta Evacuees
i I
j-
1
■s
,The movement of a number of Japanese evacuees from
southern Alberta to eastern Canada may be regarded as
another forward step in the resettlement process.
Up to the end of last year about thirty persons had left
Alberta to go east. The figure for January this year was>28,
and February is expected to show a considerable increase
over previous figures.
The chief reason behind this new movement is the fact
-that many of the 3,500 evacuees who arrived for sugar work
in southern Alberta were not farmers and had little inclina
tion to become farmers. Among them are businessmen,
craftsmen and skilled workmen. But during the war they
chose the sugar beet farms because it meant that members
of the family may remain united during* the evacuation
rather than being scattered like many other evacuee families.
During-the war these'people made a notable contribu
tion to the Alberta sugar beet industry. But now they are
looking forward to the future. Some of them want to go
back into former occupations while others wish to provide
their children with opportunities not available in the sugar
beet country. The Japanese Division has been wise in pro
viding these people with free transportation to eastern
Canada since if the polic\’ of dispersal and resettlement is
to succeed, it must take into consideration the capabilities
and the inclinations of the individual families.
■■However, there are'other evacuees—and probably these
form the majority—who are relatively satisfied with, their
life in Alberta. About 500 Japanese farmers hvere in
southern Alberta before the war. They own land, and are
apparently doing well. There is little reason why the newcomers cannot reach a similar state of independence and
security in a relatively short time. - ? 7
-y?
“'The big uncertainty1 in the future of the evacuees
appears to be the attitude of the Alberta government .which
has an agreement with the federal government providing
for the removal of the evacuees after the Avar. Actually,
however, the possibility of their being moved out is so remote
that it can be left out of consideration.
Premier Manning’s statements reminding the ^federal
government of the existence of that agreement serves a
political purpose and little else. Any real attempt to move
out the evacuees now will meet with strong opposition,
especially from the beet indu^vy, which is short of labor.
And in the meantime, the government’s power to control
evacuee movement, which at the longest can continue for
another year, will expire. Another indication, if needed,
that the federal government does not intend to arrange a
mass removal of the evacuees is seen in the lifting of the
land purchase restriction before the expiration of the Emer
gency Powers Act.
In choosing between settling in Alberta and moving east,
evacuees are making a decision which will have a farreaching effect on their future and the future of their chil
dren. But it would seem that either choice would lead to

Editor, The New Canadian:
Up here in Dawson City, in

been a severe one. For three
weeks in January, the temperature
was around 50 to 65 degrees belowzero, and planes that come to
Dawson daily could not make their
way here from Vancouver. These
planes are our only contact with
the outside world during the win
ter. Because of this, provisions
and fuel started to give out, and
for a while conditions were miser

living in cabins near Dawson
could not keep their places warm
and eventually moved into the city

Mail service was stopped, too,

But. now some of the Japanese
evacuees have gone to Japan and
others are planning to move into
eastern Canada. German prison
ers-of-war too have left Canada.
This loss of labor plus the need
for greater production has brought
about the present difficulty. And
beet growers insist that the best
solution will be for the government to import about 5,000 agri
cultural workers from Europe to
southern Alberta.
The
immigration
plan
has
been criticized by a columnist
in the Lethbridge Herald. In a
recent column, J. Harper Prowse
says that this solution is merely
one of letting the immigrants
do the “dirty work.”
Mr. Prowse says that an average
beet worker earns $316 for three
months of beet work, figured at
the rate of working eight acres
at $39 per acre. With luck, says
Mr. Prowse, the same worker can
earn another $300 harvesting grain
crops, and put in about five
months in lumber camps clearing
about $70 per month.
To this criticism, Rulen H.
Dahl. a director of the Alberta
Beet Growers’ Association,
has given his answer. Mr. Dahl
"The growers’ executive . . .

The Future of Alberta Evacuees
i I
j-
1
■s
,The movement of a number of Japanese evacuees from
southern Alberta to eastern Canada may be regarded as
another forward step in the resettlement process.
Up to the end of last year about thirty persons had left
Alberta to go east. The figure for January this year was>28,
and February is expected to show a considerable increase
over previous figures.
The chief reason behind this new movement is the fact
-that many of the 3,500 evacuees who arrived for sugar work
in southern Alberta were not farmers and had little inclina
tion to become farmers. Among them are businessmen,
craftsmen and skilled workmen. But during the war they
chose the sugar beet farms because it meant that members
of the family may remain united during* the evacuation
rather than being scattered like many other evacuee families.
During-the war these'people made a notable contribu
tion to the Alberta sugar beet industry. But now they are
looking forward to the future. Some of them want to go
back into former occupations while others wish to provide
their children with opportunities not available in the sugar
beet country. The Japanese Division has been wise in pro
viding these people with free transportation to eastern
Canada since if the polic\’ of dispersal and resettlement is
to succeed, it must take into consideration the capabilities
and the inclinations of the individual families.
■■However, there are'other evacuees—and probably these
form the majority—who are relatively satisfied with, their
life in Alberta. About 500 Japanese farmers hvere in
southern Alberta before the war. They own land, and are
apparently doing well. There is little reason why the newcomers cannot reach a similar state of independence and
security in a relatively short time. - ? 7
-y?
“'The big uncertainty1 in the future of the evacuees
appears to be the attitude of the Alberta government .which
has an agreement with the federal government providing
for the removal of the evacuees after the Avar. Actually,
however, the possibility of their being moved out is so remote
that it can be left out of consideration.
Premier Manning’s statements reminding the ^federal
government of the existence of that agreement serves a
political purpose and little else. Any real attempt to move
out the evacuees now will meet with strong opposition,
especially from the beet indu^vy, which is short of labor.
And in the meantime, the government’s power to control
evacuee movement, which at the longest can continue for
another year, will expire. Another indication, if needed,
that the federal government does not intend to arrange a
mass removal of the evacuees is seen in the lifting of the
land purchase restriction before the expiration of the Emer
gency Powers Act.
In choosing between settling in Alberta and moving east,
evacuees are making a decision which will have a farreaching effect on their future and the future of their chil
dren. But it would seem that either choice would lead to
a happier and more satisfactory livelihood than by planning
to return to the Pacific coast where it is very dubious that
their return would cause much enthusiasm.

Stating that Japan was not get
ting enough baseball. President
Isao 'Udaka of the Tokyo Red Sox.
announced recently he was form
ing a new league and would raid
the existing loop for talent. At
present Japan has a single league
of teams from major cities. While
there was hissing from some quar
ters about "Mexican League busi
ness all over again:’’ the majority
of Japan’s baseball addicts, who
the Associated Press said, “equal
the frantic fans of Flatbush in
love of the game.” were reported
to be quite happy about the pros
pect. One team scheduled to enter
the new league is a. Tokyo team
known as the Greenbergs.
Wonder what happened to the
Tokyo Giants?
