The Right to Vote in B.C.
1$ \c.il be a disappointment for British Columbia Japalearn that in the new provincial elections act, they
L.W i '.~n singled out for exclusion from the right to vote.
Yet if .the matter is viewed realistically, the new act
-'-u .iu be regarded as a serious setback to the hopes oi
Japanese Canadians for a square deal m British Columbia.
It
must be remembered that me province has just
tm-rged from a period of prolonged id-feeling against her
c.t.ze’.s of Japanese origin. The new elections act, coming
at th.s time, could hardly’ be expected to deal with the
J<n«ne^e- more favorably than was me case under me old
Un me other hand, the granting of voting rights to
C ’
and East Indians, who were previously disqualified
z 'Hi v »ting along with the Japanese, marks a substantial
-mgp-as on the road to Japanese enfranchisement. Why?
Because the new act breaks the bacx of a long-standing
' J-Orivntal' legislation; because if Chinese and East
Jndian> qualify for franchise, there is no 'reason, outside oi
«'acial uiscrimination, for denying the same right to the
Japanese.
The denial of the franchise is an important political
disability. But it also permits and encourages discrimina
tions in the economic activities as well.
The Japanese in British Columbia are excluded from
entering the professions of law and of pharmacy. They
are excluded from employment on crown timber lands
(this exclusion is set aside temporarily by an order-incouncil). They are excluded from employment on public,
works projects, and from below-the-surface work in mines.
Some of these discriminations hinge solely on the fact
that the Japanese are excluded from voting, while others
would not be tolerated if the. law recognized the Japanese
as full-fledged Canadian citizens, instead of relegating them
to a second-class status.
Before the war, the Japanese Canadian Citizens League,
realizing the importance of the franchise, carried on a
long and discouraging campaign for Japanese Canadian
franchise. Today, despite the hostility stirred up by the
war, several factors are working in our favor.
First, the CCF party, the only political group to stick
unwaveringly to the principle of equal rights to minorities,
has been recovering from recent setbacks and are exerting
a strong influence toward the elimination of racial dis
crimination.
Secondly, the Japanese in British Columbia are no
■longer grouped as competitive economic blocs inviting the
attacks of Occidental competitors.
The new elections act has succeeded only partially in
removing a discrimination in the right to vote. The issue
must not be permitted to die until the discrimination has
been removed in its entirety.
The CCF and Racial Discrimination
(An Editorial from The Winnipeg t-ree Press)
The CCF of British Columbia
deseovs high praise for its
strucgle against
a
provincial
statute which enfranchises Cana
dians ot Oriental origin with the
exception of Japanese.
In the
legislature the CCF moved to in
clude the Japanese in the en
franchisement legislation but it
was voted down by the Liberal;
Conservative coalition group.
Tbousrh the CCF did not succeed
in halting a measure of outright
racial discrimination. its own
record m this matter is left un
assailable and in time its views
are certain to prevail.
The British Columbia Conserva
tives lollowed in general the atti
tude ot their colleagues in the
House of Commons at Ottawa. The
Liberals took the same stand
against the rights of Canadian
Japanese as that of Mr. fan
Mackenzie, the British Columbia
minister—that is to say, the nega
tion of the first principles of liber
alism. In British Columbia, as in

The Right to Vote in B.C.
1$ \c.il be a disappointment for British Columbia Japalearn that in the new provincial elections act, they
L.W i '.~n singled out for exclusion from the right to vote.
Yet if .the matter is viewed realistically, the new act
-'-u .iu be regarded as a serious setback to the hopes oi
Japanese Canadians for a square deal m British Columbia.
It
must be remembered that me province has just
tm-rged from a period of prolonged id-feeling against her
c.t.ze’.s of Japanese origin. The new elections act, coming
at th.s time, could hardly’ be expected to deal with the
J<n«ne^e- more favorably than was me case under me old
Un me other hand, the granting of voting rights to
C ’
and East Indians, who were previously disqualified
z 'Hi v »ting along with the Japanese, marks a substantial
-mgp-as on the road to Japanese enfranchisement. Why?
Because the new act breaks the bacx of a long-standing
' J-Orivntal' legislation; because if Chinese and East
Jndian> qualify for franchise, there is no 'reason, outside oi
«'acial uiscrimination, for denying the same right to the
Japanese.
The denial of the franchise is an important political
disability. But it also permits and encourages discrimina
tions in the economic activities as well.
The Japanese in British Columbia are excluded from
entering the professions of law and of pharmacy. They
are excluded from employment on crown timber lands
(this exclusion is set aside temporarily by an order-incouncil). They are excluded from employment on public,
works projects, and from below-the-surface work in mines.
Some of these discriminations hinge solely on the fact
that the Japanese are excluded from voting, while others
would not be tolerated if the. law recognized the Japanese
as full-fledged Canadian citizens, instead of relegating them
to a second-class status.
Before the war, the Japanese Canadian Citizens League,
realizing the importance of the franchise, carried on a
long and discouraging campaign for Japanese Canadian
franchise. Today, despite the hostility stirred up by the
war, several factors are working in our favor.
First, the CCF party, the only political group to stick
unwaveringly to the principle of equal rights to minorities,
has been recovering from recent setbacks and are exerting
a strong influence toward the elimination of racial dis
crimination.
Secondly, the Japanese in British Columbia are no
■longer grouped as competitive economic blocs inviting the
attacks of Occidental competitors.
The new elections act has succeeded only partially in
removing a discrimination in the right to vote. The issue
must not be permitted to die until the discrimination has
been removed in its entirety.
The CCF and Racial Discrimination
(An Editorial from The Winnipeg t-ree Press)
The CCF of British Columbia
deseovs high praise for its
strucgle against
a
provincial
statute which enfranchises Cana
dians ot Oriental origin with the
exception of Japanese.
In the
legislature the CCF moved to in
clude the Japanese in the en
franchisement legislation but it
was voted down by the Liberal;
Conservative coalition group.
Tbousrh the CCF did not succeed
in halting a measure of outright
racial discrimination. its own
record m this matter is left un
assailable and in time its views
are certain to prevail.
The British Columbia Conserva
tives lollowed in general the atti
tude ot their colleagues in the
House of Commons at Ottawa. The
Liberals took the same stand
against the rights of Canadian
Japanese as that of Mr. fan
Mackenzie, the British Columbia
minister—that is to say, the nega
tion of the first principles of liber
alism. In British Columbia, as in
the Dominion Parliament, dis
crimination against the Japanese
continues to be a blot on the
Liberal party's record.

Personal Notes Across Canadol
THE SPOILAGE
By Robert R. Brunn
in The Christian Science Monitor
Dr. Dorothy Thomas and Richard
Nishimoto work in three rooms
lined with steel filing cabinets,
amid tables and chairs piled high
with roughly bound typewritten
reports and the careful disorder
of work in progress. They' are the
nation’s foremost authorities on
what many consider to be the
American tragedy of World War
II—mass evacuation of 110,000
Japanese and Japanese Americans
from the West Coast.
Dick Nishimoto was born in
Tokyo, and came to America when
a youth to attend Lowell High
School in San Francisco and Stan

Dr. Thomas is one of the
country’s foremost sociologists,
and came to the University of Cali
fornia in January 1940, after many
years at Yale, Columbia, London
University, and points east. Her

and
dark-rimmed
glasses only serve to emphasize
one thing—that she is a seeker of

Story of Mass Evacuation
Together, Dr. Thomas and Mr.
Nishimoto, with Nisei and other
associates, have been gathering
facts since the day in March 1942,
when Dr. Thomas “saw a forced
mass evacuation and said let's
study it.” She praises “the extra
ordinary attitude” of Dr. Robert
Gordon Sproul, President of the
University, and the University
regents, who not only - approved
but encouraged what came to be
known as the University of Cali
fornia Evacuation and Resettle
ment Study.
The first project of the study
is a 383-page book, “The Spoil
age," co-authored by Dr. Thomas
and Mr. Nishimoto.
It is an
after-evacuation study of the
so-called “disloyal" evacuees—
those of the immigrant genera
tion who have been sent to
Japan and those of the second
American generation who re
nounced their citizenship while
in the war camps. “The Spoil
age" explains the pressures
upon the attitudes of this “dis
loyal" group—one out of every
six evacuees.
The last chapter of “The Spoil
age" is being written in San Fran
cisco, where Federal Judge A. F.
St. Sure is reading the mass of
evidence in the famous citizenship
renunciation cases. His decision
will affect the liberty of 400 re
nunciants held by the Department
of Justice and the citizenship of
some 3,550 persons who. it is
claimed, renounced their citizen
ship under duress.
Those who argue duress believe
the renunciants were disillusioned
by their treatment as second-class
citizens, and urged to action by
those basically disloyal, who used
the “concentration camp” atmos
phere to take advantage of them.
The evacuation and concentration
in desert camps was hard to take,
particularly for those who had
been educated in American schools
to believe in their democratic
heritage.
“Salvage” Is Final Chapter
Aside from the "spoilage" of one
in six. there was the “salvage" of
one in three—those who left the
concentration centers to go to the
East and the Middle West. Dr.
Thomas and Mr. Nishimoto are
now deep in writing “The Sal
vage." which will complete their
study.
The two collaborators feel that
the most valuable result of their
wartime compilation will be the
mass of source material which
will be available to students at

C A NADI AN
By S.O. and J.T.O.
One tropical Singapore morning,
we boarded the S.S. Chitral, a
15,000-ton steamer carrying Indian
and British troops to Japan, and
Chinese Nationalist troops to
Shanghai.
We were fortunate to get a bunk
on A deck and not in the hold
which 1 dreaded most. The hold of
a troopship, especially the lower
decks, is a veritable hell when
travelling in the tropics.
The ship pulled out of Keppel
harbour, Singapore, at 2:30 p.m.
The trip to Japan was to take
two weeks, so we got settled down
into a daily routine—the thrice
daily trips to the mess on C deck
(where it was stuffy and steaming
hot), the boat-station drill at 11
every morning, the canteen hours
and its long queue, the continuous
chanting and jabbering of Indians
outside our window, and the many'
other minor yet necessary and
inevitable details of life on board
a troopship.
The sea was calm during the
trip across the South China sea
and if it weren’t for the flying
fishes to create a little diversion,
the trip would have been very
monotonous.
As we continued to travel north,
the North Star became visible
again (in Singapore and most of
southern Malaya, though these
areas are north of- the equator,
the North Star is not visible).
The nights became somewhat
cooler. On the fourth day’ we got
our first glimpse of China's coast
line, and a large number of
Chinese junks floated by.
Hongkong Stopover
We crept along slowly until we
anchored outside Hongkong har
bour. From here we viewed the
landscape and noticed fortifica
tions and barbed-wire barricades
around the countryside.
Then came the confusion of
money-changing, passes and
orders, etc., necessary before,
going ashore.
We were amused by the Chinese
traders' willingness to trade with
us—cigarettes for Chinese sou
venirs. The boat finally docked at
Kowloon, just across the bay from
Hongkong.
The next day, we got a ten-day
shore leave
and
immediately
headed for Hongkong, via the 10
cents ferry-service across the bay.
We looked up Lieut. Lowe
(Chinese Canadian frojn Vancou
ver) and Sgt. Roy Ito, and after a
bang-up Chinese meal, spent the
afternoon looking over the city
and general gab-session.
Up Yangtze to Shanghai
On the next leg of our journey
the nights were much cooler and
twilights were with us again, for
we were now out of the tropical
zone. Our ship hugged the China
shoreline and on the morning of
the third day we knew by the
the University’ of California after
“The Salvage” is written. A good
example is the Kikuchi diary—
more than eight feet of type
written pages.
When you ask these serious
people if the Japanese-American
“problem’' is solved, they say
"No." What becomes of the
"residue" of the evacuation is
•the answer, they say.
The extent to which the re
nunciants. if freed, are taken into
community life: whether with iiv
creasing unemployment JapaneseAmericans will be "first to be
fired": the re-establishment or not
of Japanese ghettos in Pacific
Coast cities: the attitude of tradi

muddier sea that we were ap
proaching the Y'angtze River.
We steamed up the Wang Pu
river, a tributary of the Yangtze,
for ten miles and arrived at
Shanghai. We saw on the horizon
the Shanghai International Settle
ment buildings, such as the Broad
way’ Mansion, Cathay Hotel, the
China Bank, which forms the sky
line. It was a fitting background
for the many American warships
anchored along the Wang Pu
river.
At Shanghai, we received a
shore leave of ten hours. The
thing that amazed us most here
was the high price of goods. All
along Nankin road, modern stores
are numerous. We ate a bacon
and egg meal costing 1000 dollars
Chinese currency at the Union
Jack Club.
On this particular day, the
Chinese of Shanghai were holding
a demonstration in protest of
American interference in Chinese
internal affairs. Placards, question
ing “Why' it was necessary to have
American troops in China?” and
pamphlets were being circulated.
To Hiroshima
We were to sail the following
day, but a hurricane whipping up
the China coast delayed our de
parture by one day. When we did
finally’ set sail, we were struck by'
the tail of the hurricane. We hit
the bunks for the day, just to play'
safe.
We skirted Kyushu, through
the Bungo Suido, and sailed into
the Inland Sea. It was a pleasant
cruise.
The clouds were heavy' and we
missed a good deal of the beauti
ful scenery' fox’ which this district
is noted.
Then finally, at four in the afternoc/i, we docked at Kure, Hiroshima-ken, on Japanese soil.
Not far away is Hiroshima city'
where the fury’ of the atomic bomb
had been unleashed. What we did
see there—the miles of rubble, of
acres devoid of dwellings or vege
tation—have been described more
eloquently' by news pictures than
we can ever hope to do.

Personal Notes Across Canadol
THE SPOILAGE
By Robert R. Brunn
in The Christian Science Monitor
Dr. Dorothy Thomas and Richard
Nishimoto work in three rooms
lined with steel filing cabinets,
amid tables and chairs piled high
with roughly bound typewritten
reports and the careful disorder
of work in progress. They' are the
nation’s foremost authorities on
what many consider to be the
American tragedy of World War
II—mass evacuation of 110,000
Japanese and Japanese Americans
from the West Coast.
Dick Nishimoto was born in
Tokyo, and came to America when
a youth to attend Lowell High
School in San Francisco and Stan
ford University, where he gradu
ated as an engineer in 1929. He
is thin, alert, still talks with a
trace of accent.
Dr. Thomas is one of the
country’s foremost sociologists,
and came to the University of Cali
fornia in January 1940, after many
years at Yale, Columbia, London
University, and points east. Her
boyish
bob
and
dark-rimmed
glasses only serve to emphasize
one thing—that she is a seeker of
lacts.
Story of Mass Evacuation
Together, Dr. Thomas and Mr.
Nishimoto, with Nisei and other
associates, have been gathering
facts since the day in March 1942,
when Dr. Thomas “saw a forced
mass evacuation and said let's

ordinary attitude” of Dr. Robert

regents, who not only - approved
but encouraged what came to be

Easter Cards Sent
To Kids in North
By Toronto Girls
TORONTO—Ducks and chickens,
were produced by deft fingers at
the Toronto Girls’ Hobby Cfiio
meeting on March 20. But tnese
birds were not of the barnyard
variety, but the decorative type
for cards that were later sent to
one and two-year-olds in the
lonely Northern Ontario timber
camps at Neys, Opasatika. Tionaga, Jobien and Lahti’s (Geraldton).
Mrs. Morris, of the Save the
Children Fund, graciously accepted
a boxful of children’s clothes, toys
and toilet sundries and a donation
Of ?15 from the Club.
Another similar donation was
sent to the Ontario Committee on
Relief to Japan.
Time rushed by at the meet

members got deeply interested
in creating shell brooches and
earrings, which was the hobby
taught for the evening.
All girls who are interested in
hobbies are urged to attend rhe

‘’Challenge to Democracy" is
the film depicting the evacuation
of American Japanese from the
West Coast to interior centers. It
shows in detail the life of an
evacuee at these centers and the
tremendous task of administration
when as many as 17,000 people
were housed in one community,
With the gradual de-activation of
these centers in 1945, the real
problem of relocation in the eastern states began, and the film
shows the type of work undertaken by these evacuees after
leaving the centers.
The film “Nisei in Combat”
deals with the famous 100ch
Battalion and the 442nd Regi
ment, both of which were Nisei
infantry groups. The setting of
this film is on the actual field of
battle in Italy, the climax being

Games and dancing under the

enjoyed game was Truth or Conse

had to take the consequences.
It was unanimously agreed
that it was the best-attended
and most-enjoyed dance since
the hostel was opened last July.
Ladies’ choices were particu
larly popular with some g iris
making the most of their oppor

Large part of the credit for the
success of the affair goes to Miss

Another similar donation was

‘’Challenge to Democracy" is
the film depicting the evacuation
of American Japanese from the
West Coast to interior centers. It
shows in detail the life of an
evacuee at these centers and the
tremendous task of administration
when as many as 17,000 people
were housed in one community,
With the gradual de-activation of
these centers in 1945, the real
problem of relocation in the eastern states began, and the film
shows the type of work undertaken by these evacuees after
leaving the centers.
The film “Nisei in Combat”
deals with the famous 100ch
Battalion and the 442nd Regi
ment, both of which were Nisei
infantry groups. The setting of
this film is on the actual field of
battle in Italy, the climax being
a citation address by General
Mark Clark, then Commanderin-Chief of the Fifth Army.
Reports of the Economic Loss
Survey will be given during a
brief business period. A social
