Duel in the (Vancouver) Sun

Editors note: The Japanese
Canadians today are going
through period of anti-Japa-
nese. feeling which was SO pOpu-
lar up and down the Pacific
Coast at the outbreak of World
War ii.
I'm a recent editorial The
Vancouver Sun tB. c. criticized
the Toronto Cooperative Com
mite on japanese Canadians and
its current activity in the pro-
perty loss question and the cam
paign for removal of the remain
ing restrictions on the japanese
in Canada. The SUN asserted in
its criticism that the Co-opera-
tive Committee was just trying
TO find some excuse TO remain in
existence.
The following, lettess from
the Sun Letters" column came
in the wake Of this eitOrial. Mrs.
Grace MacInnis, former CCF
member i'm the b. C. Legislature,
commented on the Sun editorial.
(The letter from w. Babcock

JAPAN PUSHES
TOURIST PLAN
FOR 1913, l949

Semi-official Japan Travel Bur-
eau. according to Ray Falk. New
York Times correspondent in Tokyo,
is sponsoring the development of a
Japanese tourist industry that is ex-
pected to Dring the first tourists to
Japan by the end of 1948 or early
l949.
The plans, Falk writes. envision
a billion yen industry entertaining
more than 100000 visitors a year. at
least $4,000 of them Americans. in
the early stages of its development.
AS far as can be learned by New
York Times Falk, General MacAr-
thurs headquarters has not yet con-
sidered the problem of restoring the
tourist industry. Headquarters, Falk
states, is said to favor any means
whereby Japan can earn the for
eign currency she needs to rehabil-
itate herself. But until sufficient
food and adequate housing are av-
ailable to take care of tourists, head
quarters will not permit any to en-
ter.
At present it takes a State De-
partment passport and certificate
from the Joint Chiefs of Staff in
Washington for an American to
land in Japan. The latter is grant
ed only to those whose presence
here will laid the detectives of the

The major social disturbances
affecting home and family life
which the happiness of the com
munity, Murray pointed out. are
those which the settlement move
ment set out To combat when il
was founded sixty years ago.
These problems. Murray continu
ed, are such things as Juvenile de
| linquency, aggravated by a lack o
proper recreational facilities; mad
equate housing, particularly anon
the lower income group; and strain
ed racial relationships.
The settlement worker attack
these problems both from an i'm
mediate and a long range approach
| according to Murray.
As an immediate solution tn,
settlement worker sets up n loca
program such as the Educationa
Center Here he gets an opportlni.
ty to Judge exactly what the neigh
borhood problems are, and to fine
a solution to them among Il reala
lively small group of people.
As a result Il nursery may be-
established to care for children,
both Of whose parents are fore
ed 10 work. A gymnasium, work
shop. art. dramatics and dancing
classes are established. Social and
cultural groups are established to
overcome racial tensions. provide
adult education. and further the
creative impulses of the adults. All
of these, and many other. projects
are now being carried out by the
Educational Center.
Having proved the worth of these
activities in the settlement. Muir
ray continued. the settlement men,
bers then direct their energies to-
ward extending these facilities
throughout the surrounding neigh
borhood' and eventually to the en-
tire community.
Many of the services that were
found necessary in the settlement
neighborhood in order to maintain
the general happiness of the com
munity are provided by the other
Red Feather agencies of the Com
munity Chest. Murray observed
Throughout the rest Of the city
these agencies are providing SINH
lar recreation, health. and welfare
services which the settlement pro
yides its own members
The final step. Murray said. is
to campaign for adequate public IA
cilities such as nurseries, play
grounds, improved street lighting.
etc to be provided out of public
funds in intelligent city planning.

GRACE MACINNIS
REPLIES TO THE SUN
Editor, The Sun:

Editor, The Sun:
In its anxiety to attack fellow
Canadians of Japanese origin, the
Vancouver Sun loses no bets. 1t
even gees out of its way to take
an eitorial slap at Mrs. Hugh
Macmillan and the Toronto Com
mittee who are helping these citi-
zens rebuild their lives. One would
think that the Sun might be pre-
pared to let these people fight for
civil liberty in Eastern Canada.
But such is not the case
Does The Sun know that persons
of Japanese origin are forbidden to
travel over fifty miles from home,
anywhere in Canada, without an
RCMP permit? Or that such per-
sons are forbidden to go from one
province to another without an re
MP permit? Or forbidden to change
their place of residence without an
RCMP permit? Or to be absent from
home for over 80 days without an
RCMP permit? 1t sounds like Hit
Ter. 1t is like Hitler.
The Toronto Committee is trying
to get these order in-council repeal
ed. Until this is done, until we are
prepared to accord to our fellow
Canadians of Japanese origin ev-
cry civil right we demand for our
selves, the Toronto Committee will
have the best of reasons for re-
naming in existence. Surely it is
time that we British Columbians
told The Sun and the little group
Of race-baiters for whom it speaks
that we have had enough of this
sniping at our fellow Canadians of
Oriental origin and those other fell
low-Canadians who are trying to
help them.

Vancouver CLU Opposes Curbs
Against Japanese Canadians

VANCOUVER, BIC, April 4 New
Canadian Dispatch)-- Opposition
to continuation of federal restric-
tons against Japanese Canadians
was declared by the Vancouver
branch of the Canadian Civil Liber-
ties Union recently.
In a 19-page letter to Prime
Minister Mackenzie King, Profess
SCR Hunter Lewis, chairman Of the
organization, outlined the Civil
Liberties Unions views on the
treatment of Japanese Canadians.
The letter, dated March Is, urged
the Prime Minister to eliminate
all federal restrictions, extend fe.
deral franchise, and restore Cana
dian citizenship to those who lost II
through deportation.
1t recommended the establish
ment of judicial or "other equally
just and effective commission
for the purpose of considering claim:

Copies of the letter were sent tc
members of the House and Senate
Following reasons were advanced
for opposing the racially discrimin-
atory laws and restrictions:
"They are unjust, immoral,
and contrary to the doctrine of
humanity;
"They are superfluous and

+They damage our national

"They are repungnant to the
ideas of equality and of unity

"They are contrary 70 both
