Japan. At least if you want to
get quick action.
One day I was sitting at the
counter of Japan Travel Bu
reau in the lobby of the Otani
trying to get some informa
tion on train schedules.
There were three young
girls servicing the counter.
One was working at a com
puter. The other was reading
a book and the third was
about to come over to help
me.
However, a Caucasian
tourist came over and she immediately went to him in
stead of me.
She couldn't quite under
stand what the tourist was
asking so the other girl, the
one who was reading a book,
went over to assist her.
They spent about three or
four minutes before one of
them looked in my direction. I
put on one of my dirty look
faces and she finally asked
me, (in Japanese) if she could
help me.
I responded in English,
“First of all, I was here before
that other gentleman and I' m
upset.”
She became rather fluster
ed and stammered, “Oh, I'm
so solly. Please beg to forgive
me.”
Now if I had responded in
Japanese, she probably
wouldn 't give a tinkers damn
ed if she did wait on the other,

That seems to be one trait

most inhumane conditions.
No one really knows how
many people were killed at
Dachau. Estimates range
from 30,000 up to more than
200,000.
The gas chamber, located
ne.J to the crematorium in a
small forest off to one corner
of the camp, was never used.
Instead, many of the Jews,
clergymen and others at
Dachau were executed else
where. Death at Dachau came
in the form of an SS guard's
bullet or bludgeon, a hang
man's rope, starvation or
sickness.
Lehner does not remember
much about the camp' s liber
ation. He had typhus and was
in a weeklong delirium. He
was 20 at the time, guilty of
nothing more than being a
Jew.
Rabbi Paul Biberfeldt of
Munich led a service honoring the veterans and the vic
times of Dachau at a
memorial that has been erect
ed at one end of the camp.
Later in the day, the Anti
Defamation League of B'nai
B'rith European Federation
the the B'nia B'rith of
Munich hosted the veterans
in Munich.
Shimon Samuels, Euro
pean Federation director,
said his organization started
as a Jewish organization 71
years ago but is today “con
cerned with all forms of preju
dice and discrimination
against all minorities” and
has helped lobby the U.S.
Congress for payments to
Americans of Japanese an
cestry who were interned dur
ing WW2.
Several of the men in the
room, in fact, fought and bled
for America 40 years ago
while their families were
locked behind barbed wire.
“The same way you fought
for the values of democracy
and against the oppression of
Nazism here, so today you
are a symbol to a resurgent
extreme — (the) voice of hate
that is growing in Europe,”
Samuels said.
Racial prejudice in an
economically
troubled
Europe is growing against
the Turks in West Germany,
Jamaicans in Britain, and
North Americans in France,
he said, adding that there is a
group in California that is try
ing to revise history, to say
the depravities of Dachau did
not occur. Thus, he conclud
ed, the AJA veterans of the

hand, must never forget.

Two veterans split over J.C. Redress issue
By RON LOWMAN
The memories of war hero Leonard
Birchall, a retired air commodore,
and Tsutoma (Stum) Shimizu, a
former army intelligence sergeant,
are the stuff of today's government
problem.
Birchall, 69, who became famous
as “the Savior of Ceylon,” says it
“borders on the insane” for the
government to consider using tax
payers' money to compensate Japa
nese Canadians for their internmenl
during World War II.
He remembers a second-gener
ation Japanese Canadian from Bri
tish Columbia who incited, then
praised, savage beatings of Cana
dian prisoners of war before Bir
chall's eyes in a Tokyo dockyard.
Wearing the dockyard company's
■ uniform, but on loan to the Japanese
army as an Interpreter in a PoW camp
housing the Canadians, the man de
lighted in sticking lit cigarettes up
prisoners' noses, Birchall says.
. He recalls that the interpreter also
boasted that the Japanese were the
superior race and would win the war.
He told the Canadians that he
already had decided which members
of his family, still living in Canada at
the time, would become mayor of
Vancouver, chief of police and the
like.
Grim camp
Shimizu, a Toronto resident who
now is vice-president of Noxzema
Inc., also has bitter memories.
He remembers the uprooting of his
family from Victoria, a grim intern
ment camp in northern Ontario, and
Canada's eventual, reluctant deci
sion to accept him as a volunteer in a
Japanese-speaking intelligence unit
of the Canadian army.
“But even as an army veteran, I
wasn 't allowed to go back to B.C. un
til 1949 (four years after the war end
ed), without special permission from
the RCMP,” Shimizu, 62, says. “Defi
nitely, there should be compensa
tion.”
Some 17,000 Canadian-born or natu
ralized persons of Japanese ances
try, and 4,000 Japanese nationals liv
ing in Canada, were plucked from
their homes and businesses on or
near the B.C. coast after Japan
bombed Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941.
Imprisoned inland camps, they re
ceived little compensation for their
Stum Shimizu
Leonard Birchall
homes, cars, fishing boats and other
equipment. They also lost their jobs
and, in some cases, their educations.
Shimizu's parents had to sell their
grocery store in Victoria, plus a car,
radio, hunting rifle, boots and other
items. For the second-hand car, the
family got $10, although it was worth
$100.
As for the rest of their property,
Shimizu says they had to sign “a
piece of paper” saying they were
handing everything over to Canada's
Custodian of Enemy Property.
The federal government has of
fered Japanese Canadians an official
apology and a $6 million trust fund.
Huge gulf
But the National Association off
Japanese Canadians wants a say in
the wording of the apology, more
money, and amendments to the War
Measures Act to ensure that what oc
curred in the 1940s never happens
again to other minorities.
Separating Shimizu and Birchall is
a yawning gulf between the social
mores of the war years and hufrian
rights today. The cast of a man's eye
or the color of his skin were like bea
cons in wartime. If they happened to
coincide with those of the enemy, he
was labelled immediately.
Today, the screams of outrage
from human rights groups over such
automatic classification would wake
the dead. Then, Canadians were over
whelmingly white, now, we are a na
tion of many cultures.
But time has not eased Birchall's
feelings. He is so incensed over the
government proposals that he has re
signed from the Progressive Conser
vative party.
“Not another dime” of financial
support, he warned party headquar
ters, until he finds out precisely what
will be done.
“I never believed they could be
this stupid,” he said from
his Kingston home.
A graduate of Kingston's Royal
Military College — he later was the
school's commandant — Birchall
was piloting a Catalina flying boat
when it was shot down in April, 1942,
off Ceylon (now Sri Lanka).
Was beaten
He earned his “Savior of Ceylon”
nickname and was awarded the Dis
tinguished Flying Cross after his
wireless operator managed to get off
a warning that the Japanese fleet
was approaching the island.
Picked up by a Japanese warship,
the wounded pilot was beaten. He
suffered the same fate repeatedly in
prisoner-of-war camps.
;Once, he intervened in a hammer
ing being given a sick Canadian PoW
by a Sgt. Ushioda. Birchall broke the
sergeant's jaw with one blow.
The Japanese sentenced him to
death, blindfolded him, and made
sure he heard rifles being cocked.
Then they told him that he would be
beheaded instead, but the execu
tioner swung to miss. He was told
they had changed their minds again.
For his prison camp leadership,
Birchall was made an officer of the
Order of the British Empire.
He had never intervened before in
the long-playing drama between
Japanese Canadians and the govern
ment. But a recent spate of publicity
and the offer of a trust fund and
apology was the last straw.
On Jan. 17, Birchall wrote a scath
ing letter to his MP, Employment
Minister Flora MacDonald.
He told her that, in 1985 — which
marks the 40th anniversary of the
end of World War II — memories of
horrible experiences come flooding
back with great intensity.
‘Must suffer’
Many drastic measures had to be
taken because of circumstances that
left little alternative. The sudden ac
tions of the Japanese — bombing
Pearl Harbor, and attacking unde
fended and defended areas in the Far
East, all without a declaration of war
— “shocked us all into a state of hav
ing to over-react.”
Birchall said that, throughout the
world, Japan had a very efficient
espionage network and an under
ground system of foreign residents
dedicated to the Japanese war effort.
That, he said, became most evident
with the launching of hostilities.
“Time did not permit the screening
and definite identification of the guil
ty, leaving only the alternative of
mass action, with the full knowledge
that under the circumstances, the
good must suffer along with the
bad,” Birchall told MacDonald.
“It was necessary to err on the
side of over-reation, at least until we
were able to respond to the threat we
faced.”

. AND PARTNERS
Birchall's letter said Canada's ac
tions were as humane as possible
and no Japanese Canadian died of
malnutrition, starvation, or a lack of
medical treatment, adequate hous
ing, clothing or amenities. But Japan,
he noted, ignored international con
ventions, laws and regulations in its
treatment of civilians.
Shimizu agreed that Japanese
Canadian internees “were not treat
ed badly.” He said that only those
who resisted internment were put in
PoW camps with Italians and Ger
mans.
Birchall said he returned to Japan
for war crimes trials and asked a
Japanese why they treated their
PoWs and internees so inhumanely.
He was told Japan had been con
fident of victory and felt it would
have to answer to no one for its ac
tions.
A government apology now would
show “a sheer lack of moral fibre,”
he said, adding that Japanese Cana
dians are able to raise a hue and cry
now only because of the humane
treatment given them and their
parents at the time.
But Shimizu is equally incensed
about the treatment that his native
land — Canada — gave him and his
family. He was one of a group of
about 125 who joined the army in
1944 in special, Japanese-speaking
intelligence units. Many served with
the British in Burma, India, Hong
Kong and other corners of Southeast
Asia.
Shimizu noted that in 1982 a U.S.
Congress commission recommend
ed every Japanese American who liv
ed through those times should get
$20,000 compensation.
In light of that, Shimizu said, each
Japanese Canadian should get
$200,000, because the treatment
here was 10 times worse.
Compare situations
Shimizu, a ,19-year-old student
when he and his family were intern
ed, said the only way Japanese Cana
dians can make their point is by com
paring their situation with the Japa
nese Americans'.
They also were moved from the
West Coast, but were given a chance
to prove their loyalty by joining up.
Some 30,000 did, in a combat group
that distinguished itself in Europe.
And in 1943, Japanese Americans
were allowed to go back to their
homes, Shimizu said.
Canada, on the other hand, did not
take Japanese Canadian volunteers
into uniform willingly, Shimizu said.

side of over-reation, at least until we
were able to respond to the threat we
faced.”

Birchall's letter said Canada's ac
tions were as humane as possible
and no Japanese Canadian died of
malnutrition, starvation, or a lack of
medical treatment, adequate hous
ing, clothing or amenities. But Japan,
he noted, ignored international con
ventions, laws and regulations in its
treatment of civilians.
Shimizu agreed that Japanese
Canadian internees “were not treat
ed badly.” He said that only those
who resisted internment were put in
PoW camps with Italians and Ger
mans.
Birchall said he returned to Japan
for war crimes trials and asked a
Japanese why they treated their
PoWs and internees so inhumanely.
He was told Japan had been con
fident of victory and felt it would
have to answer to no one for its ac
tions.
A government apology now would
show “a sheer lack of moral fibre,”
he said, adding that Japanese Cana
dians are able to raise a hue and cry
now only because of the humane
treatment given them and their
parents at the time.
But Shimizu is equally incensed
about the treatment that his native
land — Canada — gave him and his
family. He was one of a group of
about 125 who joined the army in
1944 in special, Japanese-speaking
intelligence units. Many served with
the British in Burma, India, Hong
Kong and other corners of Southeast
Asia.
Shimizu noted that in 1982 a U.S.
Congress commission recommend
ed every Japanese American who liv
ed through those times should get
$20,000 compensation.
In light of that, Shimizu said, each
Japanese Canadian should get
$200,000, because the treatment
here was 10 times worse.
Compare situations
Shimizu, a ,19-year-old student
when he and his family were intern
ed, said the only way Japanese Cana
dians can make their point is by com
paring their situation with the Japa
nese Americans'.
They also were moved from the
West Coast, but were given a chance
to prove their loyalty by joining up.
Some 30,000 did, in a combat group
that distinguished itself in Europe.
And in 1943, Japanese Americans
were allowed to go back to their
homes, Shimizu said.
Canada, on the other hand, did not
take Japanese Canadian volunteers
into uniform willingly, Shimizu said.
