Brown Trout
This is the time of year when

brown

The
discolored
water seem to make the brown’s
feed better and make them easier
to approach.

George Kadota and Butch Wa­

into a lake north of Blind River,
last weekend. It was tough fish­
ing due to the high winds, but
they managed to land a splake
weighing about four pounds.
They also caught a string of
trout, numbering twelve.

THE

Flashback from the past

The 1907 Anti-Oriental
Although students of history
will
declare that
anti-racial
movements are old as the hills,
many Isseis have only to look
back a couple of decades of their
lives to remember the fierce antiOriental riots that raged in Van­
couver in 1907, snatches of which
readers might remember seeing
in the 1939 issues of The New
Canadian under the title of ‘Tn
Days of Yore.” In the 1940 issue
of the Vancouver Sun, Mr. Alan
Morley recreated in his monu­
mental “Romance of Vancouver’’
vivid scenes of the riot. •

increased to 5000, and at the City
Hall it was estimated to include
at least 8000 shouting, yelling
men. There, they burn Lieut. Gov.
Dunmuir’s effigy.
Inside the City Hall, the ’au­
dience is jammed, and the respec­
table leaders of the Asiatic Ex­
clusion League, with A. W. Von
Rhein—there is something at­
tractively Aryan about that name
—as chairman and leader, pro­
ceeded to strike the necessary
sparks at 8 p.m., as scheduled.
The Rev. H. W. Fraser, Harry
Cowan, Rev. G. H. Wilson, C. M.
Woodworth, J. E. Wilton, W. A.
Young, Gordon Grant, F. J. Rus­
sell, W. E. Flumerfelt and J. C.
Wilson give vent, after Herr Von
Rhein leads off, to “burning ut­
terances,” according to the press
of the day.
Another speaker, and one we
will do well to mark, is A. E.
Fowler of Seattle, who repre-.
sents anti-Oriental organizations
in the State of Washington.
The speeches are violent and
even more violent resolutions, de­
manding impossible actions from
the provincial and Dominion
governments and Heaven itself,
are put and carried.

In 1907 the situation becomes
alarming
as political
action
against the Orientals is discussed
at Victoria. W. J. Bowser, a ris­
ing Conservative politican, has
framed the “Bowser Natal Act”
based on the Australian language
tests designed to exclude Orien­
tals from the southern Dominion.
The Act is passed by the Legis­
lature, but Lieut-Gov. Dunsmuir
refuses to sign it.
Between the unemployment
situation—bad in 1907—the pas­
sions stirred up by the political
controversy, and the threatened
or rumored—imminent arrival of
some 2000 more Chinese and Ja­
panese in the city, the people are

NEW

Race Riots THE NEW CANADIAN
—just as in 1887—the thought­
less action of some youth in the
crowd who throws a stone
through some Chinese store win­
dow, to start the ball rolling.
And it rolls.
Down through Pender Street
sweeps the mob—headless no
longer—and once again the hor­
rible, long-drawn crash of break­
ing glass echoes through the city.
Stocks in the stores are plunder­
ed . or. destroyed, and the mob
flows on, leaving behind them a
legion of Chinese in their wreck­
ed dwellings and places of busi­
ness.
The Japanese Hit Back
But this time the mob is in­
censed more against the Japanese
than the Chinese, so the leaders
halloo onwards towards “Japtown.”
But in the Japanese they find
no passive race like the Chinese.
Once again the mob enters
Powell Street. The Japanese boil
out and fall on the great crowd,
every man and boy in the set­
tlement wielding a club', or a
knife ' or that terrible weapon,
the neck of a broken bottle.
In a minute the joyous cries of
the white change-to howls and
execrations, and—though not be­
fore considerable damage is done
by flying stones—soon the brave
bully-boys, of the raid through
Chinatown- are flying back from
where they came, many gashed
and bleeding, and none of them
with any further taste for con­
flict with the outnumbered but
pug'nacious “little brown bro­
thers.”
Thus to the crime of racial op?
ression the stalwarts of Vancou­
ver add the mean vice of coward­
ice.

Japanese Patrols
By 10 a.m., when the belated
police reserves arrive on the
scene in sufficient force of use,
they find the Japanese, armed
and belligerent, establishing their
own patrols of their district.
All through the night they
march in military sentry-go,
through the streets, and the pro­
tective cordon the police throw
around Powell Street is not to
save the Japanese from further
violence, but to prevent any un­
wary white man stumbling ' on
this unexpected hornets’ nest.
Nevertheless, from hour to
hour a few do, and come fleeing
out for-.their lives.
Firemen Called Out
But under the calm determina­
tion of Chief Chamberlain, the
police do good work farther west
where the bold boys have run
away from the battle of Powell
Street—-decide they would like to
fight again in Chinatown, where
the opposition was not so stiff.
With the assistance of the fire
brigade, the police barricade the
streets and .prevent several dan­
gerous thrusts towards Pender
Street, turning the last back
about midnight along the CPR
tracks at Carrail Street.
In the meantime the horrified
orators at the city hall—in the
probability they are sufficiently
stupid to be genuinely surprised
at the turmoil they have helped
to start—come and plead with
the crowd to disperse.

BRIEF

sons admitted, while only five
categories of relatives of Cana­
dian citizens of Asiatic ancestry
are admitted.
Clauses “c” and “d” are equal
where the husband, wife, father,
mother, and unmarried children
under 21 are involved. But Cana­
dian citizens of Asiatic ancestry
may not apply for admission of
11 categories which are presently
being allowed under clause “c”.
They are: son; daughter: bro­
ther; sister; husband of such
daughter or sister; wife of such
son or brother; unmarried child­
ren under 21 years of any such
son, daughter, brother or sister;
nephew or niece under 21 years,
unmarried or orphan; fiance;
fiancee.

submissions as to how the Act
can become more equitable and
democratic.

“It is the aim of the Organi­
zation to suggest a solution
where racial ancestry shall not
be construed a handicap, or a dis­
criminatory bar, to citizenship
privileges.”

Section 20, clause “d” limits
immigration to Canada of citi­
zens of Asiatic countries to the
husband, the wife or the unmar­
ried child under 21 years of age,
the father where he is over 65
years of-age, or the mother where
she is over 60 years of age, of a
Canadian citizen or . of a person
legally admitted to Canada for
permament residence who is re­
siding in Canada and who has
applied for and is in a position
to 'receive and care for any such
person, but no such child such
be landed in Canada unless his
father or his mother, as the case
may be, is landed in Canada con­
currently with him.
“The fundamental structure of
the Canadian immigration policy
stresses the union of the family,”
the Brief points out. “However,
when Section 20 is carefully scru­
tinized, the Act reveals prefer­
ence for the families of one country against those of another.
“Why, in this democratic coun­
try of Canada should a Canadian
Act differentiate and discrimin­
ate on grounds of race, color, or
ancestry?”
The
Canadian
Immigration
Dept, has recognized the need
for family unity and has provid­
ed for relatives of certain Cana­
dians to be admitted into Cana­
da.
But the disparity between
clauses “c” and “d” of Section 20
—and the consequent inequality
—are what the delegation point­
ed out.
Thus for citizens by birth or
by naturalization
of Egypt,
Israel, Lebanon, etc., who are re­
latives ’ of Canadian citizens,
there are 16 categories of - per-

said a cherry “hello” to me on
vast. Portage Avenue. The day
was one of those when women­
folk discard their bulky winter
overstockings and saunter along
joyously again on free, graceful
legs.
And although Winnipeg has no
hills—the only slope I. remember
is an underpass under railway
tracks on Main Street just north
of the CPR hotel—and the down­
town buildings are dismal, you
never feel shut-out and friend­
less there as you can in the dusty
canyons of eastern cities. I never
did.
But most of all, Winnipeg’s
people made my stay there a
happy one. At that time, there
were enough Niseis to organize a
four-team .basketball league and
even challenge Alberta to an interprovincial championship—and
there were many more Nisei girls
than men. It was no accident that
the regular mix-and-mate socials
for the Nisei crowd were spon­
sored by the Niseiette group af­
filiated" with the YWCA.’Or that
Nisei basketball was played at
the YW gym, not the YM.
And through The New Cana­
dian, I also met other interest­
ing Winnipeggers—such as the
Saul Cherniaks, and the Simkins
of the Israelite Press who intro­
duced me each in their own way
to enjoyable Jewish customs. But
about them, more next week.
’ (This series concludes next week)

It is evident that a Canadian
whose ancestry falls into Section
20, “c” has the privilege of forg­
ing a much wider family tie than
has a Canadian whose ancestry
falls into Section 20, “d”.
“We take this opportunity,”
the delegation stated, “to reveal
the hardship Canadians, whose
ancestry comes under Section 20,
“d”, have suffered due to the inequalitv in the Immigration Act.
“The~ National JCCA, there­
fore, submits that the existence
of such inequalities still -written
into The Immigration Act classi­
fies Canadian Citizenship into a
First and a Second class status,
undesirable and contrary to the
principles of our Democracy.
“The National JCCA respect­
fully requests that, in any
changes in regulations made by
the. Immigration Dept., Cana­
dians of Asian ancestry shall be
granted equality privileges with
other Canadians.
“Foremost in our submission is
the elimination of Section 20 “d”
and the enlargement of Section
20 “c” to include those persons
now excluded. This Amendment
would ’be a great step toward the
goal of First Class Citizenship as
imposed by . the Immigration
Act.”
In this way, the delegation
pointed out, “the democratic
rights and privileges of all Can­
adian Citizens shall be preserv­
ed”, and that the suggested re­
vision “in granting equality of
rights and privileges to all Can­
adians irrespective of race, creed,
or color, will benefit Canada as
a nation.”
An appendix of sample cases
illustrating * categories of close
relatives still inadmissible was
attached to the Brief. Some of
the cases, for example, are: Miss
Setsuko Edamura, Toronto, who
wishes to call her mother, age 45
years; Mr. Katsuyori Murakami,
Ganges, B.C., who wishes to call
his older brother and nephew:
Mr. Goro Hamaura, Vancouver,
B.C., who wishes to call his wife’s
father, who will not be 65 until
1966;" Mr. Hikotaro Egami, Van­
couver, B.C. who wishes to call
his married, daughter and her
family.
