Moy Permit Niseis In Japan To Return
L©ss Claims and JCCA
Are. Principle Issues
In Southern Alberta
Many Claimants
Seek Co-op Group
Aid - - Raymond YP
BAYMOND, Alta.—A large part
of the Southern Alberta claimants
for property losses are accepting
the legal assistance provided by
the Lethbridge Consultative Com­
mittee—and not that of Mr. A. G.
Virtue—according to a statement
received by The New Canadian
from the Raymond Y.P.
The Y.P. statement, dated Nov.
30 and signed by Kazuo Iwaasa
and Mas Sunada on behalf of that ‘
organization, says that the South­
ern Alberta Joint Committee’s
statement, published in The New
Canadian on Nov. 15, gave an im­
pression that all Alberta claim­
ants would file their claims
through the Lethbridge lawyer,
A. G. Virtue.
“Actually, this is not so,” the
Y.P. statement said.
It added that while Picture
Butte. Iron Springs and Taber
areas have retained Mr. Virtue,
Coaldale, Raymond, Magrath, Stir­
ling, Welling, as well as individu­
als in other areas were accepting
the assistance of the Lethbridge
Consultative Committee.
“A large, number of claimants of
the Raymond district have asked
our Y.P. members just what the
situation is in Southern Alberta.
Therefore, it was decided at the
last Y.P. meeting that the facts
be presented through the medium
of your paper.
“Now. in the statement of the
Joint Committee, in the Nov. 15th
issue, the reader is led to believe
that all Lire claimants would file
their claims through Mr. Virtue.
Actually, this is not so. At the
meeting mentioned (Nov. 6) the
Coaldale Fujokai representatives
ami the Raymond District Citi­
zens' League (Welling, Magrath,
Stirling and Raymond) represent­
atives voted in favor of co-oper­
ating with the Co-operative Com­
mittee and the JCCA because it
was the most logical and efficient
'■method to handle the matter. In
eifect they broke away, but appar­
ently . . . (the president of the
Southern Alberta Joint Commit­
tee') through a misunderstanding,
issued a contrary statement. Hower. at the next meeting, the
break was brought to the atten­
tion of all the representatives.
thus it was that while the
Piii Ure Butte. Iron Springs and
laher areas retained Mr. Virtue,
Coaldale. Raymond, Magrath. Stirline- and Welling accepted the assistmu-e of the Lethbridge Consul­
tative Committee, as also did a
number of individuals from other
areas (p, Butte, Turin, Rosemary.
Ciowsnest. and Edmonton) com­
prising a very large portion of the
total claimants.”
Ilie statement also added that
the Magrath and Raymond youth
?toups are working in conjunction
"•th the Raymond District CitiZens League and were instrumen­
t'd in the completion of the filing
eiaims in that area.

Sogo Enjokai
Votes Against
JCCA Recognition
PICTURE BUTTE, Alta.—Rep­
resentatives from Picture Butte,
Iron Springs and other neighbor­
ing districts who met at the sev­
enth representatives’ meeting of
the Sogo Enjokai decided that
their organization will refuse to
recognize the recently formed Na­
tional JCCA for the time being.

The decision was reached after
a careful consideration of the rereport of the Southern Alberta
Joint Committee’s representative
to the national conference, and in
view of the circumstances prevail­
ing among Alberta evacuees, ac­
cording to the report of the meet­
ing received by The* New Cana­
dian.
The meeting was held on Nov.
1-1 at the Picture Butte Buddhist
Church. In the absence of Chair­
man Sakumoto and Vice-Chairman
Nakazuru, the vice-president, Ku­
nimoto, was asked to chair the
meeting.

After a short address by Presiident S. Aoki, reports from com­
mittees were heard and decisions
reached on various matters.

Reports were heard on the pro­
gress of the sale of shares for the
purchase of the athletic hall, and
the preparation of r list of appli­
cants for the innoculation treat­
ment against colds.
The meeting agreed that:

1. The Sogo Enjokai will delay
the recognition of the National
JCCA, and this decision will be.
its policy in dealing with the
Southern Alberta Joint Committee.
2. The Sogo Enjokai will con­
tinue its endeavors to bring young
men into responsible positions by
frying to elect as representatives
and committee members an equal
proportion from persons under 30
years and over 30 years.
3. The annual meeting of the
Sogo Enjokai will be held on
Friday, Dec. 12, from ’10 a.m.
The morning will be taken up
■with the hearing of reports,
while the afternoon will be de­
voted to the discussion of prob­
lems and the election of officers.

Largest Group
Of Stranded Niseis
Arrive Home in U.S.
SAN FRANCISCO. •—Eightythree Japanese Americans, re­
turning to
American
homes
after being stranded in Japan
during the war, arrived in San
Francisco on Nov. 27 on the
General Meigs from Yokohama.
The arrivals constituted the
largest single group of warstranded Niseis to arrive in the
United States.

Property Loss Claims
Pass $3,000,000;
More Being Received
VANCOUVER.—After a one-day
hearing on Dec. 3, the one-man
royal commission to investigate
Japanese Canadian
evacuation
property losses was adjourned un­
til Dec. 7, according to the Cana­
dian Press.
More than 1,000 claims have
already been received and new
claims are coming in at the rate
of 50 to 100 daily, said the report'
on Dec. 4. The amount of the
claims stood at oyer $3,000,000.
The average claim is for $3,000
and Mr. Justice Bird, the com­
missioner, described his task as
a '‘tremendous responsibility.”
The commissioner reserved a
ruling on whether he would con­
sider Japanese property' never
taken possession of by the cus­
todian. F. A. Brewin, of Toronto,
protested that hardship would
result if the' commission did not,
claiming some had turned prop­
erty over to civil custodians who
subsequently had been required
to dispose of it.

Present at the Vancouver hear­
ing to represent the claimants
were T. G. Norris and R. J. ' Mc­
Master of Vancouver and Andrew
Brewin of Toronto.
Appearing for the dominion gov­
ernment is Col. John W. G. Hun­
ter of Toronto. Commission sec­
retary is . Alexander Watson, a
former Victoria banker.

VANCOUVER.—Two Nisei stu­
dents from Lewis and Clarke Col­
lege, Portland, Oregon, attended
the Northwest Regional Confer­
ence of International Relation’.;

lumbia last week.
The students, Tsugo Ikeda
and Kiyso Yamamoto, were pic­

Canada Recognizes Citizenship
Of Niseis, Naturalized Persons
TORONTO.—The Canadian government will recognize
the Canadian citizenship status of persons of Japanese
ancestry in Japan claiming Canadian citizenship by birth
or naturalization provided they are able to substantiate
their claims.
This information was received
from the Under Secretary of State
for External Affairs, L. B. Pear­
son, in reply to an inquiry from
the National JCCA, it was dis­
closed this week by George Ta­
naka. executive secretary of the
National JCCA.
According to Mr. Tanaka, the
National JCCA was advised by
Mr. Pearson, in a letter dated
Nov. 29. that ‘‘persons of Japa­
nese ancestry now in Japan,
claiming Canadian citizenship by
birth or by naturalization, will be
recognized as Canadian citizens
by the Canadian Liaison Mission
in Japan, provided they are able
to substantiate' ‘their claims to
Canadian citizenship.”
Mr. Pearson’s letter added
that “should such persons wish
to obtain documentary evidence
of their Canadian citizenship,
it is suggested that they apply
to the Citizenship Branch, De­
partment of the Secretary of
State of Canada, for certificates
of citizenship.”

Re-entry Into Canada
Mr. Pearson- also made-refer­
ence to the JCCA’S inquiry letter
which was also sent to the Deputy
Minister of Alines and. Resources
—the' department which' handles
the immigration. Mr. Pear-son said
that the Deputy Minister for that
‘department will write'tile National
JCCA concerning the re-entry
into Canada of natural born or
naturalized Canadian citizens as
well as Japanese nationals who
have retained Canadian domicile.
(The Canadian Citizenship Act
defines “domicile” as “the place
in which a person has his home
or in which he resides and to
which he returns as his place of
permanent abode . . . and ‘Cana­
dian domicile’ means such domi­
cile maintained in Canada for at
least five years.”)
While the National JCCA’s let­
ter of inquiry specifically men­
tioned Japanese Canadians who
were stranded in Japan by the
v.uir, and not those who had been
repatriated, it is held probable
that the Canadian government
will not make this distinction and
will recognize the Canadian citi­
zenship of the repatriates as well.
The recognition of the citizen-

Albertans Urged T© Attend Meeting
(By Special Correspondent)

LETHBRIDGE.—The position of
the Southern Alberta Japanese
farmers would
be
improt ed
greatly by their more active inter­
est in the work of the Southern
Alberta Co-op Vegetable Growers’
Association, an executive of this
co-op marketing board said this
week.
This correspondent was in­
formed that the general criticism
among the Japanese seemed to be
that the Co-op is poorly managed
and controlled solely by “hakujins.” Yret the fact is overlooked
that this situation can be reme-

died.
The executive emphasized that
the Japanese farmers own about
45 percent of the Co-op's sub­
scribed shares, but because they
do not attend general meetings,
there is only a small representa­
tion from them on the Board of
Directors.
There is said to be some talk
about forming a Japanese co-op
in competition with the existing
co-op. Such a movement is re­
garded as unlikely to succeed, and
may cau-se a lot of ill feeling
between the Japanese farmers and
the Occidentals.

It was pointed out that if thA
Co-op is allowed to dissolve or go
bankrupt, the vegetable prices
will again fall under the control
of a few large wholesalers in Leth­
bridge.
The executive urged strongly
that the Japanese farmers make
every effort to attend the next
annual meeting of the Co-op, to be
held in Lethbridge on Dec. 13, ar.
which time they may elect more
representatives from their group
to the Board of Directors. A spe­
cial interpreter is to be supplied
for the Japanese farmers at this
annual meeting.

ship status will, of course, re­
move any obstacle to re-entry into
Canada.

JCCA’s Letter
The JCCA’s letter of inquiry,
addressed earlier separately to the
Under-Secretary of State for Ex­
ternal Affairs and to the Deputy
Minister of Mines and Resources,
follows:
“We would greatly appreciate
receiving whatever information
you can give us on the matter of
the' present status of Canadians
of Japanese ancestry now strand­
ed in Japan.
“As you are aware, a number
of Japanese Canadian's are now in
Japan unable to rejoin their fami­
lies in Canada due to the fact that
they were in Japan when Canada
declared war.
“These people were, previous to
the declaration of hostilities, on
visit to Japan as Canadian citi­
zens, but who now find them­
selves unable to rejoin their fami­
lies in Canada due to the present
uncertain conditions.
“We feel that Japanese nationals
who have made Canada their
home, but are also stranded in
Japan under similar conditions
and who have their families liv­
ing- in Canada, should be placed
under the same category of con­
cern.
“As there are a number of Japa­
nese Canadian families greatly
concerned «bout this matter, we
wish to know what official ma­
chinery it is intended tlie Govern­
ment set up, to take care of this
matter.
“May we point out that the
United States Government has al­
ready set lip official machinery
whereby, after due consideration
of the eligibility of applicants,
stranded Japanese Americans are
now permitted to return to the
United States.”

(below St. Clair West), on Tues­
day, December 16, from S-ll p.rn.

After a sad first quarter where
Nnox led 14-2, the LNO men
warmed up and led by fighting
preacher, Rev. Ed. Yoshioka’s
three baskets, Art Obokata's
two goals and Fred Sunahara’s
two rebounds, the Niseis crept
up 18-14 at the half.

On Wednesday, Nov. 26. the
Church of All Nations reps dis­
posed of a High Park United team
19-5. The Nisei ladies’ doubles
were badly trounced by the visi­
tors, 5-1, with the team of C.
Fukusaka and S. Toyota gaining
the singles game.
After this
gloomy start, the All Nations
men’s doubles team and mixed
doubles team registered clean
sweeps in their matches.

In the second half LNO lied and
then passed Knox's lead. Holding
onto a slim margin while Nisei
supporters groaned in anxiety, the
Niseis won out 39-32 for their
second straight win.

J. Tanaka-T. Iwasaki, K. Fukusaka-F. Matsui, and M. MatsuiM. Akiyama were the victorious
men’s doubles teams. K. Ogaki

saka, F. Kitamura-F. Matsui, C.

TORONTO. — In a razor-edge
finish, Vegas, the Nisei rep team
in the Toronto and District Bas­
ketball League, scored a spectacu­
lar 34-33 win ovei* Leaside Lions
at Western Tech on Tuesday
night, Nov. 25. Sockeye Tsuka­
moto scored the game-clinching
point, shooting on a technical foul

Kenny Miyasaki, who is about
the only Vega, to match the T. and
D. opponents in height, had the
bad luck to get accidentally kick­
ed in the knee. He will be out of
action for some time. Paul Hirano,
one of the Vega high scorers in
the previous 'week, also had
trouble, when an injured finger
started to bleed profusely, taking
him out of the game.
AFTER
THOUGHTS — Best
game
Vegas have played to date. . . . Jack
Ryder, the league convener, came into
the dressing room after the game and.
said to Joe Akiyama,
“Your team,
should get in the playoff this year.’’
Here’s
hoping. . . . Molly
Yanagi­
sawa, George Sato, Roy aaid -Her'oy
Miyasaki were the only Nisei audience.
How about some more backing for
Vegas?
This corner would like to see
youngsters Roy Kurita, Seiji Takata.
and Yuki Kameoka given a- chance with,
the Vegas, too.

An Apology . . .
The New Canadian regrets that
many of the sports and club re­
ports have had to be severely con­
densed this week because of lack,
of space. Since the major part of
the efforts of the staff are being;
directed to the big Christmas
issue to come out on Saturday,
December 20, we have been
forced to limit the regular weekly
issues to eight pages.
After the special issue is pub­
lished, we will return to our usual
size and will be able to print all
reports without drastic cutting.
Till then, the patient forbearance
of our correspondents and con­
tributors is requested.

against Leasides, just two seconds
before the final horn.
Showing plenty of speed, Vegas
showed Joe Akiyama’s strict
supervision with their dazzling
Bomber-style passing. Hard-work­
ing Mush Fukumoto rang up 10
points to lead Nisei scoring.
Tsukamoto was next with S
points. Other allstars were Ken
Miyasaki (4), Toki Toyama (4),
Idy Idenouye (3), George Ide (2),
Jeep Inamoto (2), Paul Hirano,
Mossy Mitsui, Jackson Onishi.

It’s the Dance of the Year!
