SociOlogist-AuthOr Assails Sums
As By-PrOduct Of Capitalistic Way
To Exploit Minority Peoples

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct 7-"Sums are a ma
tural by-product of our capitaistic system-a
system which makes possible and even condones
the exploitation of its minority peoples
Willard Motley, sociologist-author whose
Knock On Any Door" is current best-seller
made that statement before 200 persons attend
ing the first fall meeting of the Chicago chapter
of the japanese American Citizens League re-
Gently. The large audience taxed the capacity
of the Woodrow Wilson Room in the Interna-
tional Relations Center "a E. Randolph, where
the meeting was held.
.'People in the slums don't like the sums
any better than you or do, but they just can't
help themselves" the speaker said. Motley
chose for his subject the people of the slums
with whom he lived daily during the years that
he was gathering data for his now famous novel.
The characters in ''Knock On Any Door, are
composites of many of these people whom he
came to know so intimately, Motely said
The speaker told his interracial audience
many of whom were non-JACL MEMBERS how
he was inspired to write his book young
FRIEND, boy of II, was committed to the ST.
Charles refOrmatory for relatively minor Of
Tense. When the boy was released, he had de-
veloped into hardened criminal by his asso-
citation with real criminals Motley was moved
to expose a system which actually was respon-
sible for producing criminals Nine years of
writing and research went into ''Knock On ANY
Door,
During brief business session that pre-
ceded the speaker, the membership present yot-
ed to amend the wording of the proposed amend
ment to the Chicago chapter constitution, which
would permit Issei to become associate mem
bers.

thus clearing the path for an all
out debate on the Japanese question
as the MP's returned from their
Eastern holidays.
Several important questions re-
main answered. How long is the re-
striction on japanese Canadian
movement to be continued? What
is to be done about the indemni-
fication of evacuation losses? What
about Japanese property still held
by the custodian?
A few facts emerged when the
resolution to introduce the Omni-
bus Bill was being pushed through
on March 81:
The government intended de-
finitely 10 continue restrictions
over fishing and movement un-
til March 81, next year; there

more Japanese got discour-
aged with Canada or homesick for
Japan, the government was pre-
pared for some time yet 10 help
them out by providing them with
one-way ticket and a $500 bo-
nus.
The custodian intended to
wind up the disposition of Japa-
nese property during the year.
Assets still held by the custodian
would be distributed or returned
TO the japanese before the year
has expired"
These things were looked after
under five CT the 81 wartime or
ders-in-council included in the big
bill
Trickest of the five orders was
the one which pieces a restriction
on JAPANESE movement.
There was no longer any real need
for it--except for reasons of poll
tical eXpendiency. The relocation
program had been completed; nc
large movements back to the
coast was expected If the restric-
lions were lifted. Even if some eva
cuees did plan to go back there
was no justifiabble reason for stop
ping them.
Asked to clarity the matter, labor
minister Humphrey Mitchell re-
piled that no japanese would be
in effect Zone year,.
He added a rather feeble de-
fence: 81 think the policy is
I'm their own best interest"
Howard Green wanted to know
if this policy would end at the ter
minaticn of the wear or whether
it was part of long-range policy.
Veterans Affair Minister Ian
Mackenzie stepped into the breach
with ready reply. That he said,
would be a matter for further con-
sideration."

CANADA ORDER
OF "a HURTS
JAPANESE

An order-in council passed in 1884
and still standing Is cbstructing ia
panese nationals in Canada from
acquiring Canadian naturalization,
The New Canadian of Winnipeg
Manitoba, learned recently.
Order-in council PC 1760. 1894,
provides that a Japanese applying
for naturalization must produce q
certificate from the Japanese min
lister at Ottawa that the applicant
Is not barred by japanese law from
acquiring foreign nationality
The required certificate from
the japanese government repre-
sentative must state that the ap-
pIicant for Canadian naturaliza-
ton ~ has alTeadv served his
term i'm the Japanese army or ma
w or is under no obligation to
serve Through age or medical
reasons), and (2) he does not
hold any official position under
the Japanese government.
If the applicant meets these two
conditions, he Is under no restric-
ton from acquiring Canadian ma
tionality, and his Japanese nation
atty will be lost automatically
when he receives his naturalization
papers.
The 1894 order in council, ac-
cording 10. The New Canadian, Is
actually a liberalization of a pre-
vious order under which II was
more difficult for japanese TO he
come naturalized. But with the in
PREVENTION Of the war and the
disappearance Of the Japanse
embassy in Ottawa, acquiring ma
turalizati0n has again become
difficult for japanese aliens In
Canada.
On the other hand, the defeat

Canadian added, the regulation re-

missions practically meaningless,
