Mr. Hirose confirmed reports of

that many Japanese Canadians

Abolish Racial Controls
The Parliament has once again provided for an exten­
sion of certain wartime emergency powers of the Federal
Government by adopting a resolution which extends the
Transitional Measures Act of 1947 until the end of March
this year.
In so doing—but probably only incidental to the main
intent—it has again given continued legislative sanction to
an absurd and nonsensical policy of racial discrimination.
The Transitional Measures Act itself is a blanket statute
which provided last spring for the continuation of a series
of wartime orders, comprising chiefly controls over the
economic life of the nation. But, regretably, the Govern­
ment saw fit at that time to include within this series two
,orders-in-councir whose only purpose is to single out the
’people of Japanese origin in Canada as a special minority
Lgroup and to discriminate against them.

The first of these orders imposes a direct employment
/restriction—exclusion from the fishing industry. The
. second goes so far as to provide for the maintenance of a
special area in Canada from which only persons of Japa­
nese origin are still excluded for reasons of “defence.”
When the resolution providing for the temporary exten: sion of the Transitional Measures Act was debated in
I^arl lament in December, control measures concerning
. Japanese Canadians were disregarded as tag-ends to the
' main issue—the retention of far-reaching economic con; Frols which have a direct bearing on all Canadians. This
• debate and the economic temper of the country suggest that
the Government will probably seek a further continuation
of some of its emergency powers, at least in the. economic,
■field.
- But however much the Prime Minister and his govern­
ment may feel impelled to move in that direction, the time
ds certainly long past for the complete wiping out of all
undemocratic racial controls which can be interpreted in ho
other way but as pandering to the worst instincts of pre­
judice. If they are maintained they are likely to attach
themselves as an unworthy and demeaning blot upon the
Prime Minister’s long record of service to Canadian
democracy.

Forbearance Is Required
Owing To the large number of property claims which
have been filed, as well as to obvious difficulties of proof and
/presentation in each case, it ismow thought that the inquiry
on evacuation property losses may well extend over a threeyear period. The results of the first hearings already con­
cluded in the West indicate that if this effort of the Govern­
ment to extend some compensation is to be successful, a
great deal of patience and forbearance will be required
from everyone concerned—claimants, counsel, government
officials, and Mr. Justice Bird himself.
Deports received by The New Canadian indicate thus
.far that Commissioner Bird is possessed of the keenest
sense of responsibility and an anxiety that each claimant
should have a just opportunity for the full and impartial
hearing of his claim. As a member of the Bench, however
—and all claimants are urged to take express note of this
.fact—he has defined his responsibility in strict accord with
the legal terms of reference.
These are, in substance, to determine what compensation
-should be paid in cases where property, for whatever
reason was disposed of by the Custodian’at less than fair
market value.
The terms of reference, however, do not extend to an
inquiry into whether or not the Custodian’s Office was in
Tny way negligent, and even less into an investigation of
the whole legal, moral or financial responsibility of the
Government as a consequence of the enforced evacuation.
However much we should like them to be weighed and
judged, these are all issues beyond the scope of the present
hearings, and reference to them by claimants will do little
to help substantiate their claims or to aid the progress of
the inquiry.

Canadian Civil Liberties Union.

for rodeos and circuses. Some­
times. we have to put up with
having the youngsters clamber on

But that’s all a part, of the fun.
And we’re glad the children are

chance to get out and entertain
them with things we’d never get
around to doing by ourselves. It’s
fun to enjoy boyhood again.
—Pacific Citizen.

There are hundreds of similar
incidents. Indeed, the v hole issue
was so magnificently confused
that a large section of the public
could never have been fully aware
of what the Japanese were being
shipped away for—potential spies,
cheap labor, unfair competition,
saboteurs, or simply because Ja­
panese have slanted eyes.

Tragic And Amusing
The confusion , persists. It is
both tra'gk and amusing to hear
our politicians refuting Eastern
Canadian charges of intolerance,
yet just as loudly calling for a per­
manent exclusion of legal citizens
from this island of restrictions.
' “Intolerance, never,” is what
they say. “We just hate them.”

The Consultative Council is
folding up merely because it was

and not because it is abandoning
its fight for fair play. Its work
will be carried on without abate­
ment by the Civil Liberties Union.
Individual members of the Council
will continue to give their help
and guidance.
.

No Large Return
In most of its aspects the fight
is over. It seems unlikely that
there will be any large’return of
the Japanese when (and if) the
ban on the coast area is lifted
early next year.
Most of the
people I have talked with are still
relying on their emotions and not
their minds. (Recently I asked a
respected acquaintance who is
strongly anti-Japanese what he
would think if. say, the state of
Washington barred all Negroes.
He thought that would be criminal
race prejudice.)
It is hard to gauge how heav­

ily all this weighs on British
Columbia’s
conscience.
The
Consultative Council itself never
seemed a strong minority, yet
its files are fat with the names
of people who knew that war­
time hysteria was not right and

who lent their financial and
moral support. This included,
too, the CCF Party, which lost
many a vote by its courageous
stand.

Now, when the problem is some­
thing which may be looked on in
retrospect, more and more citi­
zens may be able to judge for
themselves the betrayal of so
many of its elected representa­
tives and, perhaps, even join in
the fight to make amends.
In the meantime, this column
joins those who honor the Vancou­
ver Consultative Council as its
work officially closes. God bless
these honorable men and women.

Their conversation has
branched out from the'ehgrossiug
road camps, ghost towns, and per­

Well, this particular balmy eve­
ning finds two young men of edu­
cation and intelligence returning
once more to that masculine dis­
sertation on women. Says the
glossy one:
"Give me a 'true' woman any
day.. It's all very well to kid along

A Teen} Ager Club Sums Up

On November 17ih. 1946, the hepsters of Montreal met,
Plans to form a club for “their own age group” was set;

The club was christened the “Montreal Teen Agers”

To be open to all Gertrudes and Mortimers.
First on program came skating at Beaver Lake,
Everybody had loadskf thrills and spills—even old Jake.
Then came March and the super St. Patrick's Dance,
Everybody remembers that night—in fact they’re still in a trance.

Then came the summer activities, full of fun
Like the beach party at Saratoga—under the sun?
The trip to Bout de Hile on bicycles built for two
And the dance in

late June at Barnard and Park Avenue.

Then good old Belmont Park, that was some trip—
Cotton candy, merry-go-round, the thriller and the whip;

The “trip to nowhere.” bus ride to a place unknown—after dark . . .
Came Fall in her gay colours__ t’was a beautiful sight
Like the costume bzll on Hallowe’en night.
Of the many gay tirres we had, these were only some,

And in the future, there are many more to come
Like the anniversary party when we’ll really celebrate:
And we’ll make more trips to Beaver Lake to skate.

But don’t think the Teen Agers do nothing but play,
For they are now oi a cloth drive to send to Japan far away.
Ai! these things wire possible by the support of each member
And the guidance iy Jimmy Horiuchi, the adviser.

And so to you, Jimmy, the club gives three cheers,
And to everyone else. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
—D.Y.

By Ken Adachi

sur-

There are others doing a fine
bit i team work. These people
don't talk about what women
ought to be like. They just go
ahead without fanfare with their
careers and have their marriage
as well. Why is there so much
argument
about
equality
for
women, careers for women, the
‘true’ women and the unfeminine
women, etc., etc.? Why is career
regarded as VERSUS marriage?

Rebels Score Surprise Victory
Over Bombers on Boxing Day
By T. F.

TORONTO, Ont.—Continuing league play on Boxing Day, with the Christmas Bas­
ketball Tournament having- fallen through, the Rebels in the second game created a mild
upset when they soundly trounced the'defending champion Bombers 38-24.
Again, three Bomber players were ejected from the game and in the last few min­
utes of the g-ame only four Bombers were left on the floor to finish the game. Joe Aki­
yama, Shige Ashikawa and Mossy Mitsui trudged dejectedly toward the showers when
they began to play a little too rough and ran out on the five personals limit. Ken Mitsui
was the only player in the game to have his slate clear of committing any fouls.
Rebels' victory marks the first
sign in their march toward the
upper division. They had been
threatening ever since their near
■upset game against the Mustangs
and were expected sooner or later
to topple one of the leaders. They
are a greatly improved team and
still stand out as the most promis­
ing team. One of the most re­
markable
achievements
seen
among the Rebels’ line-up is made
by Kiyoshi Maikawa. He stands
out as the league’s most improve !
player and in this game' assisted
as the best cog in the machine in
leader Mush Fukumoto’s attempt
for victory. Kiyoshi figured in the
biggest play and -scored most of
the difficult shots. However, Re­
bels will need quite a great deal
of improvement yet before they
can upset the great and mighty
Mustangs.
'The Bombers, in losing, can be
consoled by the fact that their nee
forward, Sockeye Tsukamoto, and
lanky George Hirano, who has
recently become
the
hottest
Bomber player, were missing fiom
their lineup. : Sockeye is waylaid
with a sprained back.
The game also marked as a
first time a team other than Mus­
tangs which has defeated me
Bombers ibis season.

Aces 5c—Nomads 41

In the. opening game. Aces re­
pulsed Nomads’ dogged attempt
to win their first game with a
56-41 triumph in a fast racing,
clean game.
The hapless and winless No­
mads made a strong bid to reverse
the decision handed them by Aces
in their last meet in one of the
closest ano exciting games seen
in the league and which also went
into an overtime affair, but were
set back when Yon Shimizu began
a scoring splurge of 17 points in
the last half. Seiji Takata also
contributed greatly with his 19point sniping.
Yuki Kameoka again shone for
the losers, scoring some, unbe­
lievably difficult shots and rack­
ing up 14 points to his credit.
Young Johnny Oki, the antic man.
and league's No. 1 crowd pleaser,
went into his usual act and come
up with a 10-point scoring at the
same time.

Mustangs again met stiff opposi­
tion from the hard-hitting Rebels,
but their finishing drive again
proved too strong for the loseis
and thus ended the game with a
comfortable margin.
Herby Miyasaki led the winners
with 9 points, while Kiyoshi Mai­
kawa sniped 7 points to pace the
iosers.

Bombers 41—Aces 38

In one of the -season's fastest
and best played games. Bombers
managed to eke out a 41-38 vic­
tory over the. suddenly rejuve­
nated Aces in the second game.
The unpredictable Aces played
one of the best games so far and
probably could have won the
game had Yon Shimizu not been
hurt and taken out of the game
early in the last quarter, or had
Seiji Takata scored that la-st shot
of his in the dying seconds of the
game.
Aces took the lead, as usual, at
the start of the game with a fine
sprint, but fell back in the middle
session of the game. Beginning

the last quarter, they put. on a
spirited drive, when suddenly Yon
Shimizu fell flat on his race fiom
an accidental trip and had to be
taken out of the game. They con­
tinued their drive with Paul Hi­
rano and Tom Matsui coming to
the fore to make it .39-38 for the
Bombers. With only a few seconds
left, Seiji Takata suddenly found
himself with a clear spare under
the basket, but in his haste he
overshot the basket and missed
completely. Had he scored, the
time taken up after that would
have been sufficient to end the
game with his team one point up.
Bombers took the rebound of
Seiji's throw to immediately capi­
talize on it by following it up with,
al goat and clinching the game.

George Hirano, the tallest in
the Bomber lineup, came up with
a brilliant display and easily put
up his best effort to date. He was
definitely ‘‘on” to rack up 12
points to his credit. Yon Shimizu
again led his team's scoring with
10 points.
followed by Paul
Hirano's 8 points and Tom Mat­
sui's 6 points.
ON THE CUFF: Tosh Mori­
yama’s zealous effort to shake the
hox for the Turkey Draw resulted
in spilling the contents completely
to the delight of the crowd. Chuck
‘’Sinatra” Uyeuo, who was one of
the prize winners in the recent
Buddhist sponsored Talent Revue
Contest with his spitting, resem­
blance of ‘‘Frankie” in singing
‘‘Ole Man River.” holds the rec­
ord as the No. 1 basketball fan this
season with his unbroken attend­
ance at the league games.
Vegas again split their two T&D
league games last week, winning
against Danforth Grads and losiifg
to Lakeshore Vics. They’re still in
the running and have only one more
month to play until the playoff
starts. So far they have won 4
and lost 5. There are 8 teams in
the league and the first 4 are eligi­
ble for the playoffs.

Return of the Judo Man
A tew weeks ago we weie reminiscing about Katsumi Morioka (a
name which was hashed up by the linotypists hither and yon as
‘’Katsuma”) and now the other week we heard of the comeback of
Kai mon Kudo.
On Oct. 20. in Honolulu. Kudo disposed of Ben Pilar. Filipino mat
expert, in 14 minutes and 22 seconds, using a Boston crab. This was
his first serious comeback attempt after enforced retire neat during
the war years.
James Omura in The Rocky Shimpo says of Kudo, who appeared
often in Vancouver mat shows during the late thirties:
"Kaimon Kudo is a Seattle product. However, he rose to mat popu­
larity in San Francisco at the old Dreamland auditorium where his
early showings were punctuated by a miserably inept display against
Man Mountain Dean, the bewhiskered 360-pound hilly-billy. Kudo
climbed rapidly after shaking off a -poor start and became quite popular
with West. Coast fans.
"The war interrupted his profession as it did that of all others,
and he had been serving as instructor of judo in Honolulu with
the retired ’Rubberman’ Hagami, another standout Japanese
wrestler, who at one time held the questionable American junior
lightweight title,

"With the return of Kudo to the mat game, we are constrained to
ask what has happened to other Japanese wrestlers who graced th?
mat industry before the war. With the exception o; Oki Shikiaa. who
grappled here in Denver, and was last heard from doing the same in
Chicago, and Kudo and Hagami. there has been no report. No word habeen heard of Don Sugai, the very good Portland welterweight. Smiling
Sato who came close to winning the world welterweight title from
Jack Reynolds in San Francisco, seems to have dropped out of sight.
And where is Shuuicbi ’Killer’ Shikuma?”

Mustangs for the
City League

As things
stand.
Mustangs
could turn up for Vegas in tlie city
intermediate league instead of the
present all-stars. The poor show­
ing of the Bombers in the local
Nisei hoop league can be blamed
on Paleness. Half of the Boml^’
lineup plays on Vegas and three
nights in a week is no pushover.
Just about every player of note
in the Nisei loop has been asked
to turn out for Vegas but all seem
to be occupied one way or the
other at. nights. It’s a hard grind
playing in the city league with
games starting almost right after
the daily work.

Aces Get Severe
Amputation.
Yon Shimizu is dropping from
the league this season because e:
study reasons, this being his final
year at Varsity, it will be like the
amputation of a right arm to the
Aces.
If goals per shot could be tabu­
lated. Yuki Kameoka, the mighty
mite of the tiny Nomads, probably
would have, the highest percent­
age in the league. ‘Nomads’
chances for goals have been lim­
ited to the minimum, but when­
ever Yuki shoots he’s almost a
dead cert to score, giving him the
high point total he has gained.

Fastest Player in
Toronto League

.

Sockeye Tsukamoto, to this ob­
server, is . just about the fasten
player in the league. He is known
to be slow off the floor, but when
he. steps on he' is like a whiz of
lightning. About the only one to
match him in speed is Paul
Hirano.
Every player is known to lag at
times on the floor and sometimes
slow on the break, but Mush Fuku­
moto is one who is always on
go. Idy Idenouye is another^v
er, and probably the fastest guard.
Mucka Makimoto is the best shot
among the guards.

Antics Make Smash
Hit With Crowd
John Ohi of Nomads creates a
riot with his antics and to say he
is a smash hit with the gallery is
no exaggeration.
Rebels seem to concentrate on
hiring outside talent. They have
Sumi Sora from Hamilton. George
Ide from London and the newlyacquired Herby Morita from Chat­
ham, an ex-Victorian. Herby, not
having acquired his Rebel colors
yet, turns out to the games with
his brilliantly white KNFG outfit.

Mustang-Bomber
Clash Disappoints
The second meeting of thBomber-Mustang feud on Frida?. _
Dec. 12. fell far short of expecta
tions. In a rough dragged-out
game. Bombers used rugby tactics
while Mustangs played basketball
to pile up all the points. Final
score was 42-21.
Rebels topped Nomads 41-31 in
the second game to come within
threatening distance of secouaplace Bombers.

TORONTO. Ont.—The night of
Dec. iSth was an exciting and
anxious moment for Toronto Nisei
bowlers who worked hard in a
keen competitive field for the big
turkey prizes being awarded for
the holiday season.
Emerging victorious was flashy
Johnny Takeda of B.T.I. with a
770 triple, just enough to nose out
Teis Mori of OK., who rolled 764.
Jack Hemmy, the hard working
Canton Chop Suey man, was win­
ner of two chickens for a high
single of 376. Jack, now a proud
lather of a baby boy, was all in a
dither prior , to the game, handing
out cigars to the boys in celebra­
ting the happy occasion. Cbngratu-_
