THE NEW CANADIAN

WHAT OTHERS SAY:

Published on Wednesday and Saturday of each week
as a medium of expression and news outlet
among those of Japanese origin in Canada.

Japanese Canadians don’t like
the word “Jap” as applied to
them and we can’t say we blame
them.
It belongs in the realm of other
curt and usually derogatory ab­
breviations used—too often in­
accurately in any case—to de­
signate what might be called
hyphenated Canadians. Such
terms are “Chink”, “Bohunk”,
“Polack” and the like. These
terms are not heard very often
today but they were common
enough in former years. Thoscwho still use them are unenlight­
ened about the nature of the
Canadian democracy.
We are a mixed people in
Canada but do amazingly well
despite it. Perhaps it would be

How Now, Mr. Wilson?

Cali Them Canadians

One of the most truly astounding and paradoxical turnabouts
of viewpoint ever recorded in the annals of the Japanese in Canada
is the attitude of one Halford D. Wilson, Vancouver aiderman.
. Mr. 'Wilson, as many will remember, is the same man who
carried a bitter, lurid tub-thumping campaign of discrimination and
hate against the Japanese Canadians in the trying times before the

true to say we do well because of
it. We’ve operated in the past on
the assumption that a good mix­
ture of races makes for lively
progress and a strong culture
eventually. The immigration fig­
ures announced the other day in
Ottawa indicate that we still
operate on that theory.
But to make a success there
must be tolerance and mutual
respect between the peoples in
the Canadian amalgam. It would
be better if hyphens were drop­
ped entirely but this is probably
too much to hope for the present.
To our compatriots of Japa­
nese origin we’d say that in most
cases the use of the term “Jap”
probably isn’t meant in a derog-

atory way but for convenience.

mouthful. Again we’d agree that
it would be better not to use it
at all. But frankly, the suggested
alternatives “Januck” and “Jee”
aren’t too inviting.
. It would be strange and weird
indeed if all the racial groups in
our midst started designating
themselves by peculiar variations
of the familiar “Canuck”. We’d
have “Franucks” for FrenchCanadians, “Branucks” for British-Canadians, “Panucks” for
Foies and so on. There’d be no
“Canucks” anywhere and no
chance ever of achieving a Can­
adian nationality.
— The Vancouver Sun

Financial Woes

“We have not the slightest iota of faith in Alderman
Wilson’s sincerity. We believe, him to be .inspired solely by a
vicious and all-consuming racial prejudice, to be bent solely
on his own political self-aggrandisement. For we have looked
too long upon his stained hands, we have listened too long to
his malicious and hate-mongering charges to be filled with
anything but disgust and nausea.
“With characteristic cunning he rouses the fires of racial
prejudice with vicious charges of disloyalty again to prey
upon a helpless minority group in Canada, again to receive
letters of congratulations from the ‘Native Daughters’, whose
support he seeks at the polls”.

Let us consider some of his past activities.
Mr. Wilson pounded on the theme of the "Oriental Menace”;
all along he stated that Japanese residents may become a "far greater
menace than any other aliens we have on the Pacific Coast”. Among
other things, he sought the restriction of trade licences issued to
Japanese Canadians because they were becoming "a dominant factor
in the business activitiy of Vancouver”; urged the cancellation of
licences to Japanese Canadian fishermen because he was compelled
to doubt their loyalty even though they be Canadian-born. He stated
that he feared the "Oriental penetration into the economic life of the
province” and "because the Japanese, as a racial group in B. C., are
very fertile, the school population has increased rapidly and by 1968
may be expected to constitute one-third of Vancouver’s school

suffered the same fate as Japa­
nese Americans by being evac­
uated from the Canadian Pacific

coast to interior regions had a
great deal to learn from our’
experiences.
In order to effectively cam­
paign for the restoration of their
rights and for evacuation dam­
ages, a national organization was
set up. It helped to improve
conditions and status of the Can­
adians of Japanese origin. It had
strong support until the object­
ives were accomplished.
Now, even a budget of $4,800
a year seems to be difficult to
attain. The chapters are com­
plaining about their quota. Un­
less the larger communities
continue their support, the nat­
ional JCCA seems to be on the
brink of curtailing its activities
to the point where its effective­

ness will disappear.
While the position of Canadian
Japanese seems to be weaker
than ours, it seems to be tragic
that a national organization can­
not be maintained on a stronger
basis.

Prestige of an organization
cannot be built up overnight.
Local problems can be managed
by local groups. United effort,
however, is necessary when a
nationwide movement is under­
taken.
The experience which the JCCA
is undergoing is not an uncom­
mon development. It is a trend
which needs to be watched closely
by every national organization.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Doesn't Like "Januck" . .
Editor, The New Canadian:
I was shocked to read that the
delegates at the JCCA Convention
in Vancouver had passed a reso­
lution, suggesting that “Januck”
be substituted for “Jap”.
I strongly agree with the reso­
lution in part, re: the ban (of the
word “Jap”), but I most emphat­
ically protest the suggestion of
any concocted tag or label.
I suggest to the proper authovities to have the latter part of
that resolution deleted or rescinded.

—Ed.)

To cite an example, he attempted to hold up the application of
three Japanese for licence to operate dressmaking shops in the city,
alleging that Japanese were maintaining sweat-shop conditions, in
their homes, in the backs of stores, and in small dressmaking estab­
lishments, and that tuberculosis was rife in such places.
He carried his campaign to the point where he sought the

Pleasurable Progress . . .
Editor, The New Canadian:

I have watched with pleasure
and satisfaction the fortitude and
determination that have carried
our Japanese Canadian citizens to
distant and less congenial climes
and enabled them to become selfsupporting and\ useful members
of our society ... I shall continue
to do so through the medium of

About Furuhashi . . .
Editor, The New Canadian:
A small item in your issue of
February 21 caught my eye. It
concerned the barring of Hironoshin Furuhashi from the swim­
ming competitions in Melbourne,
Australia.
My sympathy lies not so much
with the great Furuhashi but
extends to the thousands who died
and were wounded under the
Australian banner, and even more
to the thousands who lived and
still maintain open hostility to­
wards the Japanese people.
The dead have died in vain and
ihe living have gained nothing by
the victory over the Japanese
aggression. I doubt greatly if
most of them can explain the
presence of their delegate to the
United Nations or’what his pur­
pose there is, when incidents of
this sort are happening in his
own backyard.
Many thanks for publishing

this item to keep us abreast of
the times. Minute though it may
seem, it is enough evidence to
indicate that we are not yet ready
for world government.
Tommy Mitsunaga,
Vegreville, Alta.

War Brides Welcome . . .
Editor, The New Canadian:
I simply could not let the re­
marks reprinted in your paper
on Feb. T8 about a mother of a
Canadian soldier protesting
against the idea of Canadian sol­
diers marrying Japanese girls,
remain unanswered. I would like
to say, firstly, that if her son is
old enough to fight for his people
and country, then he is old
enough to marry whom he pleases.
There is no difference in the
sight of God between the yellow,
black or white races. We are all
equal, no matter how much we
think of ourselves. No one in
Canada is a real Canadian ex­
cept for full-blooded Indians.
Each persorf has- come from a
distant land and in actuality, are
foreigners. For example, my
mother is Scotch, my father is
Irish and my grandfather Dutch.
My son is happy with his Japa­
nese bride. I think Japanese are
all wonderful, clean girls and
can cook and keep house mar­
vellously. I’m sure that if the
mother loved her son, his happi­
ness in marrying the Japanese
girl would be hers too. I too have
a daughter and I would never
