j Japanese Good Citizens, Says CCF Mate
’i Applause Greets Indian ML’s Debut Speech

ri

VICTORIA, B. C. — The Leg’•dature, last week, heard the
2den speech made by its first
non-white elected representative
I ?nd his fellow members gave him
" a desk thumping welcome. .
i Frank Calder, 34, elected to
£ represent- the Atlin riding in the
s June election, as a CCF member,
; in his first address, told the
s members that he wants it understood he was there as a citizen
■ of British Columbia, not an In; dian.
> However, he made a plea in
j behalf of the Indians and urged
I that they be given 'equal treat| ment as other citizens. He noted
| that the Indians did not have old
* age pensions, and liquor rights
J among privileges enjoyed by
s others. The position of Indians,
< he claimed, was that of “Second­
hand” citizens, paying sales
taxes but deriving no social be-

nefits..
Although expressing his op­
position to race discrimination,
the U.B.C.-educated Indian ex­
pressed concei'n over the manner
in which the canneries were re­
cruiting Japanese Canadians back
into the fishing industry.
In an address earlier in the
week, another CCF member,
Rupert Haggen of GreenwoodGrand Forks declared he found
by experience in his own riding
that Japanese were good citizens
and demanded the elimination of
prejudice against the Japanese.

en his own time over the air and
was transferred to CKY which is
Western Canada’s latest radio
station equipped with the most
modern techniques and facilities.
Prior to this innovation, he
was given a weekly spot on Jack

new set-up, Tommy hopes to in­

athletes in the future. Several

Sofies On Religion Sponsored By Fellowship
Met With interest. Orphanage Sends Thanks

MONTREAL. — The series on
' religion sponsored by the Montieal Nisei Fellowship Group
have been met with favour and
praise by the many who have
attended the lectures. The first
tvo on Roman Catholicism and
Quakerism were presented clear­
ly briefly and in an unbiased
v. ay.
Mr. Ballantyne with his talk
on Roman Catholicism and Miss
Silver on Quakerism both held
J the complete interest of the
r gwup from start to finish. The
, remaining lectures on Ghandi,
Buddhism and others are being
looked forward to and the Fel, lowship members hope to have
provided in the end a better un­
derstanding of the religions.
