United States Sets an Example
Heartening news came last week eon- the United States,
i: reported, has preThe U.S. department of the interior,
pared a bill for the purpose of pro ding compensation to
Japanese Americans who suffered osses as a result of
evacuation.
s introduced in the
This bill, or one very much like it.
Congre
It was approved by the judiciary com­
miitees of both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
It was passed unanimously by the Senate, but due to a
technical hurdle which could not be overcome in the dying
moments of the 79th Congress, it failed to come to a vote in
the House of Representatives.

There is no question that the measure was received
favorably at that time, and it is certain to be adopted by
the present Congress.
It is interesting to note that the present move for the
enactment of the claims bill was preceded (February 10) by
a strongly-worded report by a one-time head of the War
Relocation Authority. Dillon Myer.

I

Mr. Myer declared in his report that the mass Japanese
evacuation from the West Coast was unjustified, and, de­
plored the “severe blow which it dealt to the democratic
faith, oi thousands of young American citizens.” The report
received wide publicity both in the United States and Canada.

I

We are inclined to believe, that this report, coming- when
k did nom a person who holds a responsible position in the
United States government, reflects to some deg'ree the views
held by the administration.

The proposed bill for the establishment of a claims com­
mission provides a broad basis for claims. While excluding
cianns which are ■‘speculative or less definitely appraisable’’
—such as anticipated wages or profits, mental sufferings,
and physical hardships—it takes in "damages to or loss of
real or personal property, or other impairment of assets,
that arose from or as a natural and reasonable consequence
of the evacuation and exclusion program.”
Compared to the United States, the record of the hand­
ing of evacuee property in Canada is pretty black. Yet
Canada has shown itself much more reluctant to make any
move toward restitution ; and there seems to be an equal
reluctance to acknowledge the fact that a considerable loss
has been sustained by the evacuees.

Liberal Policy’
The
ernm
and of the Libera] party is to et
rid of the controls as soon
possible . without c;
ns cen
।
­
fusion and injustices
For ex-ample, the government is
in favor of removing controls over
prices and rents, but to do so now
in the face of continued shortages
of certain goods and houses is to
ask for disaster. The government
would therefore remove those con­
trols as soon as goods in short
supply and houses become more
plentiful.

The government is not opposed
to increase in prices
long as
that process is gradual and there
will be a minimum of fluctuations,
such as those which took place in
the United States.
The- government recognizes that
Canadian prices are closely connecked with U.S. price
and feels
that the U.S. prices are artificially
high now and will come down. In
that case Canadian prices will be
allowed to rise gradually and meet
the U.S. prices on the same level.

Opposition Views
The position taken by the Pro­
gressive Conservatives and the
Social Credit party is not clear­
cut. They are opposed to govern­
ment controls, yet they see some
sense in the retention of certain

Mr. Stuart said that the mother
could have put an end to the girl s

her daughter's mind fear and mis­
understanding by evading the
truth under a pretence of courtesy.

Mr. Coldwell Opposes
Then it was Mr. M. J. Coldwell s
turn. The CCF leader brought forward his socialist philosophy, and
said certain controls were bene­
ficial. Too rapid decontrol would
lead to capitalistic monopoly. In
controls re-adopted.

He ended up by tacking on an
amendment to Mr, Ilsley's resolu­
tion. The amendment said (a) that
the government was allowing the
country to go to the dogs by its
policy of rapid decontrol, and (b)
that democratic controls should be
brought in.

The outcome of it all was that
the Speaker declared Mr. Cold­
well's amendment out of order.
Mr. Coldwell challenged it and
forced a vote. Only the CCF mem­
bers supported Mr. Coldwell, and
the amendment was thrown out.

What Happens Next?
After the resolution is argued
further and passed, the Omnibus
couldn’t deny, but he is quite
adept at changing the subject
when things get a bit too embarrassing for him.

Charlie McCarthy, so forgetting
their wordy scuffle, they scoot off
to the front room where Big Sister
and Littler One absorb one program after another from Sunday
6 PM to 9 PM with no apparent
ill-effects.
Do the Twinses listen to the
programs? Perhaps they do, but
the last time, they asked Mom:
“How do the radio talk? Where
come from? How do you HEAR
them on it? Why do we lissen?”

Mom is just about OUT of ex­

Personal Notes Across Cana^

DUEL IN THE SUN
(In a recent editorial, The Vancouver Sun criticized the Toronto
Co-operative Committee on Japanese Canadians and its current activity
in the property loss question and the campaign for removal or the
remaining restrictions on the Japanese in Canada.- The Sun suggested
in its criticism that the Co-operative Committee was just trying to find
some excuse to remain in existence.
The following letters from the Sun “Letters" column came in the
wake of this editorial. Mrs. Grace Maclnnis, former CCF member in
the B.C. Legislature commented on the Sun editorial.
The letter from W. Babcock was a Sun “Letter of the Week- and
was written in answer to Mrs. Maclnnis’ defense of the Co-operative

Committee.)

GRACE MACINNIS
REPLIES TO THE SUN
Editor, The Sun:
In its anxiety to attack fellowCanadians of Japanese origin. The
Vancouver Sun loses no bets. It
even goes out of its way to take
an editorial slap at Mrs. Hugh
MacMillan and the Toronto Com­
mittee who are helping these citi­
zens rebuild their lives. One would
think that The Sun might be pre­
pared to let these people fight for
civil liberty in Eastern Canada.
But such is not the case.
Does The Sun know that persons
of Japanese origin are forbidden
to travel over 50 miles from home,
anywhere in Canada, without an
RCMP permit? Or that such per­
sons are forbidden to go from one
province to another without an
RCMP permit? Or forbidden to
change their place of residence
without an RCMP permit? Or to
be absent from home for over 30
days without an RCMP permit? It
sounds like Hitler.
It IS like
Hitler.
The Toronto Committee is trying
to get these orders-in-council re­
pealed. Until this is done, until
we are prepared to accord to our
iellow-Canadians of Japanese ori­
gin every civil right we demand
for ourselves, the Toronto Com­
mittee will have the best of rea­
sons for remaining in existence.
Surely it is time that we British
Columbians told The Sun and the
little group of race-baiters for
whom it speaks that we have had
enough of this sniping at our fel­
low Canadians of Oriental origin
and those other fellow-Canadians
who are trying to help them.
Grace Maclnnis,
442 West Fifteenth,
Vancouver, B.C.

CAN DO NICELY
WITHOUT JAPS
Editor, The Sun:
You can inform Mrs. Grace
Maclnnis for me that it is highly
doubtful you are championing the
cause of a little group of so-called
race-baiters, but that you are
speaking, in all probability, for
approximately 17,000 fishermen on
this coast with an investment in
boats and gear totalling millions
of dollars, who, in their own small
way, can do very nicely without
the Jap fisherman.
It would be far better for Mrs.
Maclnnis to use her talents in
championing the cause of the only
real Canadian (the Indian) than
to attempt, to stir up trouble over
the Japanese question.

What’s the matter, doesn’t the
Toronto Committee like ’em
back there? And then again, of
course Mrs. Maclnnis may be
speaking for the interests who
brought them here in the first
place; but just because I have
had- to fish in competition with
them for 20 years is no reason
why my children should have to
do so. They won’t either, if I
can do anything about it.

Perhaps if Mrs. Maclnnis would
confine her ex-MLA abilities to
improving the social and economic
life in this country it would be
better for all of us, and leave the
Japanese problem to those better
fitted to cope with it.
I was born in Vancouver, am
married to a fourth-generation
Canadian, have three children, ex­
pect to live and die here, and any
money I make stays in Canada.
W. Babcock,
4258 Dundas St.,
Vancouver, B.C.

(10) '.'hat the federal govern­
ment eliminate from its statutes
any other legislation that is
based upon racial prejudice, and
in particular as it applied to
persons cf Japanese origin;
and.
(11) That the federal govern­
ment implement as soon as pos­
sible the recommendations here
made.

Report from Winnipeg
Spring has come to Winnipeg.
And as usual without spring
flowers. The streets are slushy
from the melting winter snow. It
is insanity' to go without rubbers
or galoshes because of the puddles.

There are all kinds of puddles
in this city. The empty lots form
miniature lakes, and on one I saw
two kids on a raft.

Someone told me that drainage
was bad in this city because the
land was so flat and because the
lake level and street level does
not allow enough slant to the
sewer pipes. The mayor warned,
the other day, that the Assiniboine
might flood. That would be bad
because then the river might push
the sewage back up the basement.
The temperature still falls below
zero occasionally. But that's noth­
ing. When it's ten above Winnipeggers consider it warm, and even
I shed my earmuffs.

One-man Raid
Some boys have come in from
the woods. I hear they are good
patrons of the Chinese gambling
houses.

Last week the newspaper said
one Japanese had staged a oneman invasion of a joint and walked
off with $150.
I think the trouble is there is
so little to do in Winnipeg. You
could go bowling of course to a
dingy smoke-filled joint on Main
street. The place is filled with
Niseis on Sundays. The price is
higher on Sundays, and theoret­
ically you have to be a member
and have a card.
I don't know of any other Nisei
hang-out in Winnipeg. Except for
a canteen dance which the girls
hold every other Thursday. The
same bunch turns out usually, and
people who go aren’t too enthusi­
astic.
Something seems to be
missing.
I suppose it's because the evacs
in this city live quite far apart.
They don't attend any special
church, and I “have a feeling that
very few are church-goers anyway.
The Manisei club which was
once going strong is now prac­
tically dead. There is talk of re­
viving it, and I think it's a good
idea.
One group which seems to be
showing some spirit is the ball­
players. They are talking about
organizing a Japanese league.
They are also talking about finding
a sponsor to finance a Nisei team
in the city senior league. There
aren't too many outstanding ball­
players here, but Winnipeg is not
much of a city for baseball com­
pared to other places.
It will be some time before they
can start practicing. The grounds
must dry first, and in case you
didn't know. Winnipeg’s mud is
something special.

Taber Nisei Christian Fellowship
Formed Last Fall in Full Swing
By C.A,

TABER, Alta.—Rev. W. R. McWilliams was the guest
speaker at the March 7 meeting of the Taber Nisei Christian
Fellowship. The well-known minister was introduced to the
Fellowship bj- Rev. J. Sorochan
of Taber United Church.
In his talk, Mr. McWilliams
traced his first-hand observa­
tions of the unjustified treat­
ment accorded to Canadians of
Japanese origin from the pre­
war period
to the present.
Present discriminatory restric­
tions of movement, of commer­
cial fishing and of franchise, re­
main as an unpardonable breach
of Canadian democratic ways,
he stressed.
The well-attended meeting was
brought to a close with a prayer
by Mr. Mimura of Diamond City.
