U.S. Nisei Files Suit
To Regain Citizenship
LOS ANGELES.—Etsuko Ari
kawa, a California Nisei, strand
ed in Japan during the war, has
been granted permission by the
American consulate in Yokoha
ma to go to the United States,
following the filing of a suit to
regain citizenship rights she lost
during the war.
The suit on her behalf noted
that she had voted in the 1946
general elections in Japan, not
knowing that such an act would
result in the forfeiting of her
American citizenship.
Church Official
Deplores Ban
TORONTO.—The continued ban
on the free movement of Japan
ese Canadians was deplored by
Rev. W. W. Judd, president of the
Christian Social Council of Cana.da, at the council’s annual meeting
on March 8.
“My own church and some others
have very recently commended the
British Columbia government for
rescinding a ruling which prevent
ed the Japanese Canadians from
obtaining employment on Crown
lands,” Rev. Judd said.
• “But most of them are not per
mitted to. move about the country
freely . . . nor are they allowed to
go back to British Columbia.
“Some of this is no doubt be
cause of political expediencey, but
it is more because of the threat to
economic life. Neither attitude is
excusable.”
Lethbridge Hearings

LETHBRIDGE. — The hearings

Bird during the two weeks of sit

Tire two suboommissioners will
sit alternately until about October
14. A total of 291 claims remain

half a million dollars, it is re

The commission is receiving only
the claims and arguments support

be heard later in Vancouver, rhe

No Franchise Yet, Says
Attorney-General Wismer
VICTORIA—The British Columbia government pro
poses to lift employment restrictions on Japanese Canadians
east of the Cascades (outside of the coastal areas which
are closed to Japanese under federal regulations), but does
not intend to give them the vote, at least until the federal
government lifts its movement controls.
Benefiting directly from the removal of employment ban
are the several hundred persons of Japanese ancestry who
are now employed on crown timber 'lands, and who would
otherwise face immediate discharge from their present
jobs.
The proposal was outlined by
Attorney-General Gordon. S. Wis
mer on April 8, when he moved
an amendment to a CCF resolu
tion which urged the complete re
moval of racial discrimination in
B.C.
JCCA Secretary
Interviews
B.C. Premier
Mr. Wismer objected to the CCF
resolution because it involved en
franchising the Japanese Cana
dians, and he argued that the
House should not consider the
question of Japanese franchise at
this time because they were re
stricted by federal regulations from
moving into the coastal areas.
Under existing conditions, he
said, the Japanese were not pro
perly domiciled in • the interior
where they would have to vote be
cause of the restrictions placed on
their movement by Ottawa.
Under the circumstances, the
government should not be called
upon to change their status except
to see that the Japanese are able
to earn their livelihood, Mr. Wis
mer said.
The government’s amendment
did not come to a vote because
of the CCF objection that the in
tent of the original CCF resolu
tion would be wiped out by the
amendment.
Ft William Hearings
To Start April 21
WINNIPEG.—The royal commis
sion sittings on evacuation loss
claims is progressing smoothly here
and is expected to complete its
present schedule of 42 claims on
Saturday, April 17.
The commission •will then move
to Fort William and hold sittings
there April 21-29 inclusive. Saul
Cherniack of Winnipeg will repre
sent the claimants.
Judge A. G. Buckingham, county
court judge at Brandon, Man., has
been appointed sub-commissioner
to hear the remaining cases in
Winnipeg, when the sittings are
resumed this fall. Counsel for the
government at this hearing will be
F. M. Ferg of Glenboro, Man.
VICTORIA.—Tlie view generallyheld. by top government circ.es here
is that all racial disabilities should
be removed but that such a move
by B.C. is contingent to the re
scinding of the federal restrictions
against the Japanese, according to
George Tanaka, executive secre
tary of the National Japanese Ca
nadian Citizens Association.
Mr. Tanaka, who has secured an
interview with Premier Byron
Johnson, Attorney-General Gordon
Wismer, and other cabinet minis
ters, stated his conviction that the
government intended to introduce
a resolution which will rescind em
ployment restriction on crown
lands -before legislature prorogues
at the end of April.
During his interveiw with the
B.C. Premier on April 14; the
JCCA secretary discussed the ques
tion of franchise as well as disa
bilities in connection with Crown
timber regulations and the old age
pension.
Copies of a brief listing the re
strictions imposed on persons of
Japanese origin in B.C. have been
presented by Mr. Tanaka to mem
bers of the government as well as
to a number of influential mem
bers.
The brief urged the removal of
the restrictions which "tend to the
creation and maintenance of an
economic minority existing under
a sense of oppression.”

MY IDEA OF UTOPIA
By VICTOR KADONAGA
(This article is reprinted from the April, 1948 issue of “The
School, ’ a magazine for teachers and school inspectors, published
in Toronto. Victor Kadonaga, new in his first year st McMaster
University in Hamilton, Ontario, wrote this essay while a stu
dent at Goderich Collegiate Institute, Goderich, Ontario. A
former Vancouverite, Kadcnaga spent some years in Tashme
where he was very active in Scouting activities, and was also
prominent in the work of the Hy-Noters Club, Hamilton Nisei
teen-ager organization, until his departure to Goderich in 1946.)
My Utopia is Canada.
To anyone accustomed to visualizing Utopia as a land “flowing with

had been taught in school to have faith in Canada’s democratic system,
nay more, to assume that this democratic system would be forever
constant, jealously guarding the rights of Canada’s children. However,
with uhe outbreak of the war and the subsequent hostile accusations

iudc-y torn to bits. For a long time afterwards, I moped over this

son, as is customary with most sports leagues—an all-star
team selection and the choosing of the league’s Most Valu
able Player was made recently.
The same group of experts, authorized recently by league prexy Mi
Akiyama for the se.ection of the “would-have-been” local rep team in
the Chicago tourney, were called on for this job. Thev were the five
team coaches, Baron Wakabayashi (Bombers), Frank Mivasaki (Mn?tangs), Yon Shimizu (Aces), Tets Uno (Rebels'*, Tosh Moriyama (N^
mads), plus the one non-coach—Yours Trulv.
Here is the 1947-48 Toronto Nisei Basketball Leasue

met on Sunday, April 4, to make
plans for the summer season. A
committee of four girls was ap
pointed to work with the executive
on the projects.
Baseball practises have al
ready begun and several play- '
ers have been working out at
the North Kamloops park. A
temporary backstop was erect
ed at the park and the club is
extending its thanks to all
those who donated transporta

A three-team baseball league is

Roy O’Shiro, who recently led
an Alberta team to Winnipeg for
an Alberta-Manitoba series, re
ports that a 3-team series is being
planned with Greenwood’s muchtouted outfit and two Alberta
teams to take part.
Alberta will be represented by
the team that travelled to Win
nipeg—a group of high school
stars with a Coaldale High school
nucleus, and another team of
non-high school Niseis. It was
also hoped to have an Edmon
ton entry but lack of time has
cancelled the invite to the north
ern city.
This series, if. hatched, should
serve as an indication to the fight
expected in the dreamed-of threeprovince series between B.C., Al
berta and Manitoba at the next
national JCCA conference in
November, 1949, at Lethbridge.

Roy O’Shiro, who recently led
an Alberta team to Winnipeg for

ports that a 3-team series is being
planned with Greenwood’s muchtouted outfit and two Alberta
teams to take part.
Alberta will be represented by
the team that travelled to Win

stars with a Coaldale High school
nucleus, and another team of
non-high school Niseis. It was
also hoped to have an Edmon
ton entry but lack of time has
cancelled the invite to the north
ern city.
This series, if. hatched, should
serve as an indication to the fight
expected in the dreamed-of threeprovince series between B.C., Al
berta and Manitoba at the next
national JCCA conference in
