The two Nisei CSM’s were sup­
posed to leave on a four-motored
Sunderland flying boat. Destina­

Niseis had arrived at the plane
early so that they could get good

The Niseis and their brides arrived at Union Station,

welcome party of Isseis and Niseis. Present also were re­

The Sun Is Acting Up
Our old acquaintance, The Vancouver Sun, is acting up
again. This time it has risen gallantly to the defence of
Columbia against eastern “do-gooders” who wish to
have Japanese controls abolished.
In its April 14 editorial, which we have reprinted on this
page, the Vancouver paper complains that British Columbia
still has one-third of the Japanese in Canada, and that if
controls were lifted now the 13,000 who left that province
would come marching back.

In attacking a Winnipeg- Free Press editorial of some
weeks back, the Sun argues all around yet completely ignores
the core of the Winnipeg paper’s contention—which is recog­
nition of civil rights regardless of race.
The Free Press said:
It is true that the concentration of the Japanese on the
British Columbia coast, or anywhere else, would be unfortunate,
chiefly for the Japanese themselves since, under these condilions. they invite discrimination and persecution. Their volimtary dispersal throughout the nation, where in small groups they
do not create these unfortunate problems, is greatly to be de­
sired and it has been largely accomplished during the last few
years.

But it is a very different thing for the Canadian Parliament,
oy legislation, to order that any Canadian must live or must
not live in any particular place. By this precedent Parliament

cculd order any minority group, in a nation of minorities, to
live or not to live in certain parts of the country.
By the

legislation now proposed Parliament is asked to adopt the
principle that a Canadian does not necessarily possess the
casic right to live wherever he chooses within his own nation
—the principle in fact, that Canada can be divided by law into
a congeries of nations with racial barriers erected between
them.

The Vancouver paper’s arguments are easily confounded
by facts. The Sun says that lifting the controls would inter­
fere with the federal government’s dispersal policy an-,
pounced in 1944.
The fact is the dispersal policy is practically completed.
The government has no intention of distributing the remain­
ing B.C. Japanese across Canada on a more closely proporlionate basis; the dispersal program- h s been carried out
a
it is practicable or desirable: And the lifting of
the controls is long overdue. •
The Sun draws a picture of 1-3,000 Japanese returning
io ihe coast once the controls are lifted.
The fact is the Japanese resettlers..are doing well enough
east of the Rockies, and few would care to return to the
coa>t even if the enterprising Sun offered to pay the way.
As for the 6.776 persons in interior B.C., they are not
itting there waiting for Vancouver to open its door. Some
. them are oldtimers in the interior who never had inten­
on ot moving into the coast, while most of the others have
iounci new permanent homes and are happy to remain there,
heihaps the Sun would care to send an expedition.

Oh Fateful Love!
It's sad to think that the process
of growing up must be accom­
panied by a process of disillusion­
ment.
For instance when you're a
child, you're taught that God is
love and He will reward you if
you’re good and punish you if
you’re bad. Then someone like
your best friend dies for no
reason. And you re forced to
change, your ideas about God to
fit realities.

■e Than Ten Years’ Research
ther Groot disclosed his find­
based on more than ten
r historical research, in an
(erriew with Pacific Stars ana
joes. U.S. Army’ newspaper.
Lncient Japanese history, he deIred, frequently was so falsified
historians that it constitutes a
tee-podge of “mythological non:e and humbug.”
nentific research, including exvations made at 50 sites bereen Tokyo and Sapporo, he said,
lar out the following points
h) The beginnings of the Japaempire date from 4-22 A.D.
stead of 600 years B.C. The
tone Age lasted in most of Japan
Ktil 100 years B.C. and in north-;
a Japan until 500 A.D.
(2) There is no evidence that
mmu, commonly supposed to be
e first emperor of Japan, or 16
eged immediate successors to
Simu, ever existed.
g3) The real founder of the Japafee empire was not Jimmu, but
jin, who was a historical characer living at the beginning of the
jfih century although he is ofjhfially recorded as living 120
tears earlier.
g

(4) Robert Ripley erred in claim­
ing in “Believe It Or Not" that the
ancestral lineage of Japanese em­
perors extends unbroken into his­
tory’ for 2600 years. There have
been many* breaks in the Japanese
Family tree, not all accounted for.
(5) According to Father Groot's
calculations, Hirohito would be
the 106th emperor of Japan instead
of the 124th
recorded by the
mythological concept.
(6) The oldest imperial line in
the world is not the Japanese, but
the Ethiopian, which dates from
the time of Solomon, 1000 B.C.
(7) The Yamato race version
(that the Japanese are descendants
of an original Y’amato race) is
false. A Yramato people existed,
but not a Yamato race. Present
Japanese, as in the case with other
human beings are the result of
slow'evolution and repeated blood
mixtures of many peoples.
Father Groot declared that pre­
historic sepulchral mounds as­
cribed by ancient records to Japa­
nese emperors, are in fact the
mounds of other lords.
History Fabricated

Evidence from existing annals
shows, he said, that almost the
entire fifth century Japanese history was fabricated.
According to Father Groot, the
so-called Japanese empire existed
only as small states in Kyushu
until the fifth century when under
Ojin it expanded from Kyushu to
the main island of Honshu, and
eventually centering at Nara.
Father Groot, now working as a
linguistic expert for the Civil In­
formation and Education Section
of General Headquarters, has com­
pleted the manuscripts for two
volumes detailing his findings on
Japanese history.

Our Tulips
Excitement reigned Tuesday*
this week when the discovery was
made that our tulips were making
their debut for the spring season.
On hearing the first report, con­
veyed by Mrs. Editor on her re­
turn from a shopping session, I
aoandoned the Underwood in the
middle of a dramatic sentence, and
dashed out to the front flower
bed
And bless tbeir little
pointed head; , or shoots; there
they were, about five or six of
them. I say "about five or six”
because the camouflage of the
topography throws me as yet.
And it wasn’t too long ago that
the front yard, and the back one
too.
covered thoroughly by
an uncompromising pile of tattle­
tale grey snow. But in the last
two weeks, we watched, a little
sadly, the mass melt down to just
a minor puddle; and this week,
with a string of bright warm days.
our yard is high and dry.

Snow Mystery
It has always been a mystery
to me, where all this snow stuff
goes off to in the spring; after
grimly resisting all efforts on our
part to remove it during the win­
ter. But 1 see by the papers that
rivers are flooding all over; in
Alberta and South Ontario; and
here locally. They .blasted the
Assiniboine this week to stop a
flood possible, and the adjacent
Red River is pretty high.
. Riding on the downtown-ward
bus in the mornings, passengers
peer at the River when we reach
“Pretty high, isn’t
the bridge.
it?” they say, without any attempt at originality.
They all
look grave and a little tch, tch’ing.
Makes the big toe on my right
foot start giving that anticipatory
twitch that it always does before
getting wet. Like the times I take
a bath, for instance.
But I’m getting away from our
tulips.

Terrific Beginnings
You see they ■ should be pretty
terrific tulips if their beginnings
mean anything. But they' prob­
ably" Won’t be, cuss the luck. But
here’s the story.
Last fall, the tulips arrived from
Southern Ontario for the purpose
of brightening up a little part of
the Manitoba landscape. That is,
if we were willing to put our
backs into it and do something
towards aiding nature’s natural
bent.
The bulbs stayed around for a
while until we could find no ex­
cuse to tarry any longer and be­
sides the freeze was a-coming. I
had consulted the local Aggie lec­
turer on local bulb planting con­
ditions. Bob is going after his
Master's this year and grows a
few thousand out on the Manitoba
plots so he should be an authority.
So there I was, armed with very
valuable information, newlybough^, trowel and garden fork in
one hand, hastily-borrowed shovel
and rake in the other, and the
boxes of bulbs leering at me from
the ground.

Warning From Vancouver

And Evacuee Popularity
By UKICHI HIGASHIDA
Vancouver, B.C.
To most of the evacuees who have left B.C. for eastern
points and the prairie beet farms,, the thought of Vancouver
must give rise to a flood of pleasant memories. But I am
sorry to say that as a dwelling-place for Japanese again,
things do not look too favorable.

Anti-Japanese
Feeling; Back
For some lime, it seemed that
the west coast anti-Japanese senti­
ment had died down, but. recently
of underthere have been
ground moves to whip up fear ano
hatred of the Japanese again. Re­
cent debates on the Oriental fran­
chise in the B.C. Legislature,
when votes for Japanese were dis­
cussed; and the possibility of the
bar against Japanese returning to
the protected area being removed,
seem to have lighted the
anew.
It is
easy' to dismiss the
anti-Japane:
feeling in British
Columbia a just, blind prejudice.
and many of us do so, but I think
there is more to the question than
just blind feeling.

Prairie Workers
Well-Liked
I have seen in papers and
magazines that, the evacuee work­
ers east of the Rockies, especially
those in the beet areas, are very
popular with the Occidentals as
“good worker
To my mind
there seems to be a close connec­
tion between Japanese being liked
for their industry and the anti­
Japanese feeling in B.C.
Main root of anti-feeling in B.C.
seems to be the fact that the Japa­
nese work too hard and provide
too strong competition for others.
This situation is equally true in
farming, fishing, and small busi­
nesses, from whence the strongest
opposition to the Japanese return
comes.

Difference in
After the evacuation there has
been a. difference in the relation­
ship between the Japanese evacuee
and the Occidentals. Unlike B.C.,
where they’ were on equal, inde­
pendent footing with Occidentals
in many types of work and indus­
tries, Japanese evacuees are now
mostly' employees working for
Occidental employers.
When this situation changes, as
it surely’ will in a few years, the
Japanese will again become independent and be on the same basis
as the present employers.
When this happens, isn’t there
the danger of a change in the atti-

of dawn and set. to about the gar­
den.
At least that was the idea.
Actually, of course, it was in the
afternoon that the neighbours
glanced with more than slight surprise to see the Boss Man, the
Editor, and myself looking as
ambitious as the doodingles in the
garden.
We forked and we dug, and we
raked and had ourselves a whale

Then we had a timely visitor. of a dirty time. Most of the fair

uled for the morrow which was a
Sunday. A Sunday in Winnipeg is
perfect for planting bulbs, What
else can you do?
After a joyous Saturday night,
we rose as one man at the crack

Bulb Planter
Since bulb planting was my
forte, my years of experience
under parental guidance and scorn
standing me in good stead, I spent
a jolly half hour or so, arranging

■;
tudes of many persons who are
pro-Japanese at present? It is one
thing to like a man because he is
a good worker who fills a big gap
in the manpower shortage (as in
beets); and another to like a. man
who provides direct competition.

Must Co-operate
Between Selves
Since it can be seen that the
relationship between the evacuees
and the Occidentals will be chang­
ing after a length of time, I think
that it is important for the
evacuees to think ahead and plan
to overcome this problem.

IV

The Japanese must co-operate
between themselves, and also with
the Occidentals to try to keep
things on an even fair basis. It
will be necessary for many of the
evacuees to change their ways of
life and many' customs so that they'
might assimilate into Canadian
life. In this way 'they will pre­
vent forming into a Japanese bloc
like those that, existed in Britisfi
Columbia.

Don’t Repeat
B.C. Errors
In other words, if the mistakes
of B.C. are not repeated, and the
Japanese become part of their
Canadian communities, and do not
make out-working their Occidental
neighbours their main purpose;
the evacuees should be able to
keep their present popularity in
their new homes. (Translated Irons
Japanese.)

J

Karen Kehoe, author of “City in
the Sun,” recently published novel
of the Japanese American evacua­
tion, says that she was “angered
into writing” her book.
Miss
Kehoe was employed in a WRA
stenographic position at the Gila
(Ariz.) relocation centre. She was.
hurt by both the careless treat­
ment of the evacuees and the
“principles” for which the crea­
tion of the WRA (War Relocation
Authority) was deemed necessary,
she states.

Eddie Imadzu has finished work
as art director on a new MGM
Van Johnson picture, “The Ro­
mance of Rosie Ritz,” and has
been loaned by’ Leo the Lion to
an independent studio, where he
will work on a new mystery film
to be released by 20th CenturyFox. Imadzu has been on MGM
rolls for more than 20 years.
the bulbs in symmetry and strict
quotas.
Then I half froze my
hands burying them the necessary
so many inches.
After that the bulbs were left
to spend a warm winter hibernat­
ing under the heavy blanket of
snow, if not suffocating.
The
crew of gardeners'had almost for­
gotten about our labor of love
until this week, when the first
shoots made a shy, peek-a-boo
appearance.
It seems that my fears about
planting the bulbs upside down
were unfounded, although to tell
the truth, only a half dozen or so
shoots have appeared io date that
prove anything.
But, at the risk of being branded
a weak humorist, it has struck me
that considering the crew who
worked on the beds; the Boss Man
from Regina, the Editor, and this
humble gardener’s apprentice, the
beds should be very flowery ones
indeed.

Japanese Consulate Looted
From

the

report of H.

Mat­

thieu, assistant deputy custo­
dian, dated January 15, 1947:

’It must be remembered that
the custodian became responsible
for the whole household economy

ot over 22.00U persons who were
moved out of their homes from
communities
such
as
Powell
Street, known as ‘Little Tokyo’
and lishmg centres such as Steve­
ston. 2U miles from Vancouver,
from farming districts of more
than 50 miles m extent in the
Fraser valley and also segregated
locations throughout the whole
coastal and protected are of Brit­
ish Columbia.
■ It is also true that, a certain
type of citizen considered the
abandoned homes ot evacuees an
opportunity to
in theft
and vandalism which were in
evidence in many cases before our
tieldmen or our agents had an op­
portunity ot taking charge.
"Even m the better class dis­
tricts this was in evidence and
perhaps an outstanding example

may be given in connection with
the property owned by the former
Japanese consul in the Shaugh­
nessy district of Vancouver. This
house was under the control ot
the protective powers until the
capitulation of Japan.
“At the time the property was
handed over to us in December,
1945, Mr. K. W. Wright, counsel
to the custodian, and Mr. F. G.
Shears, director of our Vancouver
office, inspected these premises
with Mr. Baeschlin, representing
the Swiss government.
Every'
piece of plumbing had been re­
moved, light fixtures and switches
had been disconnected and taken
away7 and even leaned glass doors
and windows had been taken from
their frames and were missing.
This had occurred in one of the
best districts of Vancouver, and
according to representatives of
both the Spanish and Swiss authorities. the house bad been
broken into time after time even
although it was boarded up after
each depredation.

Goods in Storage Ransacked
“Our own experience in regard
to buildings which had been used
for storage was somewhat similar
to that of the Japanese consul
house. Breakings-m were frequent,
entrance being made in some
cases by the use of fire escapes,
through windows which were
boarded up or covered with a grill
or through basement, doors.
"It may be of interest to record
that a building on East Hastings
street, registered in the name of
a Japanese association and which
certain Japanese had filled with
chattels, was lett by them in the
care ol Messrs. Norris and Mac­
Lennan. Upon request tor the ship­
ment. through the security com­
mission. of some of the contents
ot this building, we requested Mr.
MacLennan to accompany one of
our staff to the building for the
purpose oi
■ selecting the goods required f or shipment. Finding it
impossible to open the front door,
access vas made through a rear
entrance when it was discovered
that thieves had entered by the
front door and had then barred it
from the inside with planks. The
place had been ransacked, lids of
torn off
the entire con-

tents scattered over the floor.
Both Mr. MacLennan and the rep­
resentatives of the British Colum­
bia security commission realized
the futility of attempting to iden­
tify to whom the chattels belonged.
"The assistant commissioner of
police wrote to the Vancouver offi­
cer on July 2S, 1942. in regard to
the Richmond district, stating
that it was impossible for their
police in that area to do more
than keep an eye on Japanese
property although he assured us
that they would do their utmost
to prevent breakings and enter­
ings. He suggested that we might
consider employing a watchman
in that district. As a result, we
asked the commissioner to recom­
mend a suitable person . . .”
"The police, however, seemed
powerless to deal with the situa­
tion and apart from property in
which the custodian was interest­
ed. the public press at this time
contained many reports of a gen­
eral crime wave of breaking and
entering and safe cracking. Fre­
quent reports were made by us to
the police and were acknowledged
as receiving their attention.”

Japanese Can Get Naturalization
Without Difficulty Says Ottawa
Chinese and Japanese aliens living in Canada may now
make application for naturalization and receive Canadian
citizenship papers without securing permission from their
respective governments.
The New Canadian reported erroneously two weeks ago that
Japanese in Canada had to get
permission from the “Japanese
minister” before he could become
naturalized, because of the orderin-council P.C. 1760 (1934).

Victim of Sinatra's Poke in Puss
Was Escort of Nisei Band Singer
HOLDYW OOD.—Kay Kino, a Nisei singer, was the girl
who accompanied Lee Mortimer, New York Daily Mirror
film critic when he was involved in the short but sweet oneround fight with swooncrooner Frank Sinatra outside Ciro’s

Night Club last week.
The fight, which resulted in an
action by7 Mortimer charging the
bobbysoxers’ favorite with bat­
tery, was front-page news across
the continent. Sinatra pleaded in­
nocent and will have a trial by
jury’ May 27.
Two conflicting versions of the
fight have been widely reported.
Mortimer said:
“I was leaving Ciro’s with Miss
Kay Kino, a band singer, when
Sinatra and three men jumped me.
The first thing I knew, f was on
the floor and the next thing I knew
was when I saw a face that looked
like Sinatra’s above me.”

COLUMNS STARTED
TROUBLE
Mortimer had previously said
unkind things about Frankie in his
columns with special emphasis on
some alleged connection between
Sinatra and “Lucky” Luciano, for­
mer gangster boss, who was re­
cently deported from Cuba to
Italy,
The

crooner’s

version

was

that Mortimer had called him a
“dirty Dago” as he’ passed him

on the way out of Ciro’s. “I saw
red. I hit" him. I’m sorry it hap-

paned, but I was raised in a
tough neighbourhood where you
had to fight at the drop of a
hat.”

Last Remaining Farnham
Hostellers to be
Housed in Qty
FARNHAM, P.Q.—Although it
has been often reported in the
last few months that the Hostel
here at Farnham would be closed,_
there had not been any immediate
sign of closing as we came into
the month of April. Thus, the
people remaining in the hostel ex­
pected to stay until they could find
living accommodation elsewhere.
Now, however, provisions are
being made to move the remaining
relocatees out of the hostel.

Ac present there are 12 families
here, of which one is to move to
Montreal, and another to Ontario,
In the 10 families that will remain in Farnham, there are SO
individuals.
BUILDING HOUSES

FOR

HOSTELLERS

Housing for these ten families
is being worked on in the town of
• Farnham at the present time,
using materials from the dis­
mantled former Army camp in the
area. This housing will be better
than the Tashme-type of accom­
modation, and many hostellers are
employed in the building.
Seven families will live in one
site, and the other three will live
at another about a mile away.
NO WORRY
ABOUT JOBS

There is no anxiety concerning
the problem of employment for
the remaining families, although
jobs
e not been decided yet
since Japanese workers are very
popular here, because of their in­
dustriousness. and factories are
demanding their services.
There are two other families
already self-supporting in Farn­
ham. One of them is re-settled in
the city, while the other plans to
move into the housing projects
with the hostellers when the build­
ing is completed.—T, Takeda.
