Protests Lead to Suspension of Ban
Against Canadian Japanese Lo&3ers
Until legislature Convenes in March

VANCOUVER, B. c., Feb. IA
New Canadian Dispatch)-The Bri-
fish government last Jan. 30, an
nounced the suspension of its re-
cent order banning Japanese work.
CTS from the logging and sawmill-
ing operations on Crown timber
lands. The storm of protest against
the ban was given as the reason.
The estimated 300 Japanese log
cling and sawmill workers in inter-
Tor B c. will be allowed to hold on
to their present jobs until the mat
ter is reviewed by the legislature
in early March.
Lands and Forests Minister E.
T. Kenney said his department is
sending out notices to logging OPP
orators in interior B. G. to hold up
execution of the previous notice
ordering the discharge of Japanese
workers until a decision is reached
~ the legislature.
Anscomb's Statement
The governments change of pol
icy was contained in a statement
by Acting Premier Herbert Ans
comb. Said Anscomb's statement:
THE Honorable Herbert Anscomb
acting premier, stated today that
submissions of various organiza-
tons in relation to the question OF
japanese employed on Crown tim
Der in the interior of the province

were fully discussed in Cabinet to-
day.
THE notice excluding them from
employment was a routine matter
rising out of term in the contracts
between the Crown and the hold
ers of Crown timber providing,
interalia that no person of Japa-
nese race could be employed in the
removal of the timber
This clause has legislative sane
ton, as it follows an express direct
on of resolution of the legislature,
passed in 1902, and reaffirmed in
principle by many succeeding legis-
latures 1t is felt that the gov
eminent would be attempting to
override the legislature if the clause
were removed.
THE question reached is mos
important one and involves the
whole matter of the japanese ir
British Columbia.
In view of the above the gov
eminent proposes to place thu
whole matter before the represen
tative of the people at the forth
coming session of the legislature
Meantime, direction will be giver
that the notices will not become
