able to British Columbia we ina
cine that this is a reasonably cor
rect estimate. Anyhow we are sure
that if British Columbia so desires,
arrangements can be made to have
these time Canadian citizens
passed through the Pacific province
in bond even if they should be adj
rnitted to the rest of Canada.
Most if not Ill of the Japanese
who are likely to conceive this fan
tastic idea of actually claiming
rights" as born citizens of the Do
minion are the sons and daught-
ers of parents who we're born in
Japan and voluntarily surrendered
the citizenship which they had ac-
quired by naturalization. The
children, who were minors at the
time of the deportation, could do
nothing else than accompany their
parents, and indeed a Canadian
born wife could do nothing else
than accompany her Japan-born
husband if he elected for repatria-
ton. They are Japanese by racial
origin only. not by birth, not by
education, not by habits of life, in
most cases not by religion. They
have no right to citizenship in
Japan, and could not even have
been deported to that country if
the American administration of 1t
had not consented The idea that
they will be excluded from the
whole of Canada by regulations
adopted "in short order" must
surely be repugnant to the great
majority of Canadians, and to
some fraction even of the people
of British Columbia.

May Land Passengers in Japan

TOKYO, Aug. 5-NorthWest Air
lines officials this week were in
formed that their planes may now
discharge and pick up passengers
in Japan but still may not trans
port mail or freight here.
The airline previously lacked fl
nal permission to land passengers
here because of what company of
ficials said were procedural diff
culties in Washington. However,
temporary permission had per-
nited passengers to disembark
from the first two flights into Ha-
media Airbase near Tokyo.
Northwest is now running three
planes weekly to and from the
United States through Japan. AL
passengers who wish to disembark
at Tokyo must receive prior clear
ance through Allied headquarters.

Narrowing the Gap
If we accept this as fact, then
we must admit also that we can
be narrowing the gap between u.s.
for we believe in the right of the
work they do.
To analyze the picture. how
much can we be like them. the
leaders? Is there some intangible
motivating force that makes them
what they are? Is there some
thing lacking in so many of us?
Is it something they have gain
ed during childhood. something
that we, no longer being children
cannot attain? Are their resposi-
bilities of a noture that they can
leave all others by the wayside
and concentrate on only these?
Or are they people just like
you and me with perhaps little
more faith, a little more en-
thusiasm, and a lot more work?
Practical Faith
If this last is the answer, then
it is up to you and me. 1t is up to
us to put into practical use the
faith we have in the ideals they
strive for.
1t is for us to narrow the gap
between them. The leaders, and us,
the followers. To shoulder a little
more of the burden they bear for
all of us.
For If we do, then surely all
of us will be able TO take pride
i'm the work we are all able to
do, rather than just admire the
work the few are doing. Then
surely their work shall be more
successful. we shall all progress,
and we shall all be emancipa-
tors, i'm our own right-emanci-
patOrs of the abilities, the faith,
and the ideals lying dormant
within us.

MIHad a Nickel

If I had a nickel ... I wonder
If any of the readers actually know
the weight behind those few wards?
OF course, Sinatra fans do I'D

From quite few years back,
many of us have gained pleasant
moments of listening by casually
dropping a five-cent piece into a
slot, lounging back, and waiting
for the music to start.
But has anyone thought of
the work that goes into giving
us that music? The wear and
tear of hair, the groans of the
mechanics, the Illustration of all
connected with the business, and
the pile of brOken-down records

Don't get the idea that "your
agent" Gas Jim Coleman would
say is moaning the blues, far
from it. Your agent has been
connected with this jukebox bust
ness as of graduation from Rehab
Business Course. That seems to be,
in my mind, many. many records
ago. In fact, I'd be willing to wa
ger that it was before our company
started to get those slugs over and
over again.

Wartime Controls
Back in Nippon

TOKYO, Aug 5-The Japanese
government disclosed recently it
will return to the tight economic
controls of wartime, including the
suspension of nonessential produc-
ton, in an effort to stop initiation.
The economic stabiliation board
revealed the outline of a compre-
hensive program to control every
vital resource for individual living
and FOR industry. 1t will be en-
forced the announcement said, by
strict licensing which will require
producers to conform to get a con-
tinuing supply of raw materials.
The present government control
machinery will be strengthened and
the economic police given more
authority to move against black
marketeers and profiteers. Produc-
ton of what is considered mon
urgent" goods will be suspended.
The program is expected to be
put into force shortly, but Off
Gals said that the exact date had
not been set.

On Leaders in NiSei Struggle

In this modern world, We are
constantly in contact with con-
ventionalists and radicals, social
lists and capitalists, emancipators,
leaders. and people like you and
me-
Just what do people like you
and me think of these leaders,
Should we allow those persons
who are striving for equality,
rights, justice, freedom and ad-
lancement to stand alone? BY
all means, say some.
Why? Because all of those per-
sons are so active and qualified in
their chosen fields that whatey er
anyone like you and I couil do
would only impede the progress
they are making.
If that is so, fate must be the
factor that makes all these indl-
viduals so able and qualified.
There can be no other explanation
Tor these leaders being SO capable:
as though they had been estab-
lished in the complicated world
precisely for that purpose.
Fate and Lincoln
Was it fate that Abraham Lin
coin should be the one to quencn
the thirst Of slavery by abolish
ing it? It could be said that il
was fate, since there was not an
other statesman to equal the Great
Emancipator as a champion of the
principles of Democracy This phi
losophy is seen in other ways and
forms.
Fer example in the Nisei atti-
tudes toward the struggle against
the injustices of the Evacuation,
the ensuing Economic Losses, De-
portation, Transitional Measures
Act, etc. The leaders in this strug-
gle are recognized by many of us
as aloft on a shakespeare pedestal.
But is this line of thought the
correct one?
When we meet these .Nisei.
leaders, we realize that they are
not so different and above the
average level just because they
talk of immortality while we
speak in terms of the short span
of life agendized for us.
From this, let us consider the
other side Of the picture If these
leaders are not racing in the stra-
tosphere while we are slowly plod-
ding our way below, then we must
acknowledge the fact that ma
jor portion of their leadership
quality, capability and experience
is not wholly due TO the caprices
Of Fate. To the contrary, their
higher qualities are due to their
industriousness and their faith in
the work they do.

About The Suns Invasion of B. {.

The Vancouver Sun has been a.
farming its readers with the story
that British Columbia-especially
Vancouver is threatened with a
new invasion OF japanese. The
invasion referred to is a possible re-
turn movement Oh what the Sun
oddly refers to as "repatriated Ca
nadian-born Japanese; it does
not explain how a person born in
Canada can be "repatriated' to
Japan.
"Some of the Japanese are so
anxious to get back to Canada they
say they are willing to repay al
payments made by the Canadian
government in their behalf" says
the Sun, referring to the costs of
the deportation operation. Some
are not willing to repay anything
They plan TO return and boldly
claim their rights as Canadian CT
items"
We do not think that the read
ers of the Sun need be unduly
alarmed. NO Canadian citizen
whether born that way or natural
lied, has any rights which can
not be taken from him by order
mcconnell or legislation. The Suns
Own Ottawa correspondent quotes
high authority" as saying that
if there were any applications for
such re-entry. regulations would
be put into effect in short order
keeping them out From past ex-
perience of the very low esteem in
which the Canadian government
holds the rights of Canadian citi-
zenship when they are objection

Funny, they all stress the latter
procedure quite strongly.
However, neither of these fits

but the Boss doesn't like the idea
of yelling at the top of his lungs
everytime he hes something TO
whisper into these tender ears.
AS for the second suggestion, I
regret to say, Not reddy for Fred
dy"
Speaking seriously. this seems
to be how the popularity of diff
ferent kinds of music ranges in
Canada. First on the list are
Cowboy Songs, those sweet West
erns" manufactured by % m
Brooklyn company with studio
on Flatbush Avenue Second on
the Grooming Poll is sweet music
preferably played by some sacch-
airline orchestra such as Guy Lom-
bardo, Sammy Kaye or Vaughn
Monroe.
Third and last come those jazz
numbers featuring Ellington, GU
anieri, Byas. Safranski, Armstrong,
etc. Your agent owes his mental
stability to these latter artists. You
can just imagine how good they
sound after about twenty consecu-
tive records such as Cowboy
Blues" by Finger Boike and I'm
Lonely Little Petunia" by Flow
ers Dahlia.
This goes on day after day,
stretching from week unto week.
Records, records, and more rec
ords / have Nightmares, dream
ing of the next days work.
The other night my brother
shakes me from my slumber, and
says. Hey, you're talking in my
sleep!" I gently blinks the South
corner of my right eye and quiet
ly croak, What did I say" He
tenderly says, Never mind, just
try to get some sleep" and hope
lossly shakes his head.
This is not a plea for aid from,
or a note of censure for those who
play cowboy songs. 1t is just the
sad story of one who has the mis-
fortune to try to make a living m
the IF 1 had a nickel business.

CLEVELAND, Nov. 5.-Work-
ers and employers in Ohio, Michi-
gan and Kentucky who want to
testify at the public hearing be-
ginning in Washington December
2 to consider changes in white
collar" exemptions under the Fair
Labor Standards Act were re-
minded today to file notices of
intention to appear by Novem-

Contracts division, U. S. depart
ment Of labor. Notices should be
filed with VIM. R. McComb, adj
ministrator of the divisions, Wash

employed as "outside statesmen"
or in a "local retailing capacity"
Such employees are exemtp from
the minimum wage and overtime

Law if they meet various teste re-
quired by the divisions.
The announcement of the hear
ing, published in the Federal Reg
lister October %, lists a number
