Democracy Works in Hawaii

racial prejudice and racial rela-
lions. 1t is a record that shows
a great victory for democracy, for
racial tolerance, for, indeed, con-
crete application on a broad scale
of the Golden Rule.
Policy of Fair Play
Shortly after Pearl Harbor, the
Commanding General, Lieut. Gen.
Delos G. Emmons, announced the
Army's policy on the delicate prob
lem of Hawaii's Japanese, "a po-
Icy in accordance with American
principles of fair play and indi-
vidual justice" And all suisse
quent Army directives, Professor
Lind finds, "were consistent with
the early directive of professions of
principle" In contrast to the Ar
my's experiment in California,
where an opposite policy was fol-
lowed, the democratic course pur-
sued in Hawaii proved SO sound
that a former Hawaiian delegate to
Congress, Samuel Wilder King, was
to say:
you cannot get loyal support
if you prosecute, doubt, misdoubt,
and mistrust. You get what you
give. If you say: respect. you
as an American; expect you to
act as an American that brings
out the best in man :. The
war has proven that American
democracy does work."
This authoritative review of de-
mocratic racial relations in Hawaii
is one which all America should
remember in the continued efforts
to reduce and eliminate intoler-
ance on the mainland, whether 1t
crops up in racial, color, or re-
ligious aspects. Professor Lind's
work is sociological study and a
valuable source-book; it is written
on the basis of much original re-
search during 1941-45 by the De-
partment of Sociology at tire Uni
versity of Hawaii, of which Prof.
essor Lind is chairman. He, him.
self, has lived in the islands for
20 years.

CANADA TO LET
SOME CHINESE
BRING WIVES

OTTAWA, May Is New Cana
dian Dispatch canadian citizens
of Chinese race Will soon be al
lowed to bring their wives and
children (under Is years of age)
| to Canada; or. if unmarried, will
be allowed to go to China, get
! married there, and bring back
| their wives.
These privileges were previous
ly denied only to Canadian Chinese
under the Chinese Exclusion Act
of 1923, but recently the House of
Commons passed a government
I bill 10 repeal the old act.
However, this does not mean the
total removal of discrimination
against the Chinese on the matter
of immigration. While Chinese
who are Canadian citizens by brit,
} or naturalization will qualify to
bring in their wives and children
under the new regulations, persons
of other racial origin can do SC
now regardless of citizenship
status.
Minister of Mines and Resources
James A. Glen, said in the Com
mons on May S that as many as
10000 Chinese in Canada may take
advantage of the new rules.
He estimated that about 3,547
naturalized Chinese could take adj
vantage of the repeal Immediately.
In addition, he thought possibly
5000 of the 10000 unnaturalized
would eventually become natur-
allied and qualify TO bring their
families. too.
Green Opposes Move
Mr.. Howard Green tP C. Van
couver South warned that the re-
taxation of the regulations might
bring flood of Chinese into Can
ada. On the other hand, CCF
leader M. j. Coldwell said that the
discrimination should be wholly
removed and Chinese Canadians
be placed on a par with other
racial groups in Canada.
The 1941 census showed that
there were about $4,000 persons
of Chinese race in Canada, about
half of whom were living in Brit
ish Columbia. Because of the
strict restrictions against their
entry into Canada, the ratio of
Chinese men to women stood at
about 10 to l. The majority of
adult Chinese are believed to have
families in the old country.
A 1881 r-in-council which
made it practically impossible for
Chinese to become naturalized was
repealed in February this year.

AN IMPORTANT

:. revision in immigration and
naturalization took place during
World War II when the Chinese
Exclusion Act of 1882 was repealed
on December II, 1913 This granted
the Chinese quota of 105 and also
made them eligible for naturaliza-
ton. Further racial bars were re-
moved on July 2, 1916 when the
peoples of India and the Philip
pine Islands were permitted to en-
ter the United States with a quota
Of 100 for each country. and also
opened naturalization benefits.
These recent steps are important,
for they are an indication of the
changed attitude toward racial dis
elimination in our immigration and
naturalization laws Still further
move toward elimination of all re-
strictions based on race in our ma
turahzation laws should receive

without fear of serious discrimina-
