Canadian Nisei Group BUSHES Plans
To Aid Evacuation Loss Claimants

TORONTO, Ont, Sept. with
the hearings of property loss claims
scheduled to resume on October {
the JCCA Ontario District Council
has been rushing the preparation
of plans for aiding the claimants
to present their cases more salts
factorily than was done in the
hearings conducted earlier this
year.
It Is recognized that there was
not sufficient preparation for
the spring hearings, and II is now
the objective of the Ontario
Council, through its special Pro-
perry Loss subcommittee, to avoid
similar unpreparedness in the fan
hearings and also to do something
about supplcmpenting the evidence
Of claimants whose cases have al
ready been heard.
What steps will be taken to meet
the Second problem has not yet
been decided.
The Ontario Councils property
loss subcommittee is expected to
coordinate the activity of three To-
cal organizations which will as
sumo the job Of preparing the
claimants for their hearings.
In Western Ontario. the London
JCCA is expected to supply the
leadership. It's aid will be extend
ed to claimants in st. Thomas,
Blenheim, Chatham, Merlin, Kings
vile, Ruthven and London.
Southern Ontario and Niagara
peninsula will be served by Hamil-
ton Kyowaki and Hamilton Sophy-
Ed Club, while the Toronto JCCA

of Hokkaido in northern Japan in
June, the converted Shirayllr; Ma
rus nets caught $50 tons of herring.
Fifty tons had to be dumped back
into the sea as the vessels holds
could not carry the entire catch.
On other trips, the catch ranged
from to SO tons, each time the
nets were lowered.
Most Japanese fishermen now
use the line method. This consists
of heavy rope, with floats, to
which are attached lines of vary
ing lengths with hooks at the end.
The hooks are baited with sardines.
Each time the line is lowered, 500
bucketfuls of bait are used. A
bucketful Of sardine bait costs
$500 yen. about $3.50 United
States currency at the present mil
itary rate of exchange)
There is no guarantee that the
fish will bite, which makes the line
method heavily wasteful at times.
With purse seiner, this risk is
virtually eliminated.
However, a purse seiner some
times has difficulty in catching up
with a fast moving school of fish.
Features of Californian purse
seiners incorporated in the Shira-
yuri Maru are remote power con-
troll and turntable to handle the
seine.

 The ship was recently turned back to the commission by the Alaska Transportation company and then turned over to the Seattle port of authorization for Alaska army service.
 Greenhouse asserted the union agreed to shift the Grommet Reefer to the shipyard for survey when the company turned her back to the commission, but it was with the understanding the ship would go direct to layup. Instead, she went to the army"
 The vessels which had been scheduled to go to Columbia river l layup are the Jumper Hitch and Reef Knot. They were turned back to the commission recently by the Alaska Steamship company.

The Chinese government told skeptical world today its armies had routed the communists east of Suchow and imposed 9O,00O cas- ualties.
 The government made the same kind of claims shor ly before TSin- an, Chinnsien and Mukden fell to the Reds.
 It appeared the Chinese air force actually had blunted the Red attacks some 200 miles from Nan king, but that the communists were regrouping for another as- sault, rather than retreating.
 The United States, Britain and France declined plea of two lead ing U. N. officials to negotiate dj- rectly four-power settlement of .he Berlin crisis. They told secre- tary general Trygve Lie and as- sembly presiden! H. V. Evatt, who made the appeal Saturday, that t"e issue should remain before the security council.
 President Truman said yester- d1y there would be no four power meeting while the Russians con- tinue the Berlin blockade. The American rejection repeated this. Russia in her reply yesterday said any discussion of Berlin must come during a complete airing of the whole German problem.
 Secretary of state Marshall and Warren Austin, chief U. S.. dele gate to the United Nations, are to leave Paris shortly. Austin is go- ing to U. s. hospital. Marshall is to report to President Truman Monda wand is not expected to go back to Paris ~
 The China problem may be. high on the Truman-Marshall agenda. Ambassador Wellington Roo asked for U. s. expression of sym pathy, solidarity and supportp of, Chiang Kai-Shek's nationalist gov ernment to bolster Chinese morale.

(NeW World News SerVlce) Burma is open battle-ground of deologes. Ever since last year when Prime Minister Aung San and eight of his cabinet assassinaed the country has been plunged into reign of terror There have been count less murders by extremists of both right and left
 Many observers feel Russia considers Burma the "Czechsovakia' of the Far East The Communist war raging against the Government is only part of master strategy for the Far East being directed from the Asiatc Cominform headquarters in Bangok Siam Chief ot the divisions which Communists ride to power are those among minority groups
 In Burma the Karens and Burmans have never trust ed each other There have been incidents on both sides that have been hard to forget let alone forgive The Ka rens largest minority group in Burma have long drea ed of forming separate state-by force of arms if necessary In this situation it is of vital importance to the future of democrary when the head of the 2O0 900 karens publicly takes responsibility for the lawessness of his own people toward the Burmans.
 Saw Ba Gyi (the Karen leader) offers own land to to make amends for footing of Treasury at Maubn," said the leading headline of "The Burman" " Rangoon newspaper.
 The translation of the Karen leaders speech before the Premier of Burma his cabinet ministers and repre- sentatveS of the other mnores is even more revou- tionary than the headline It reflects an entire right abouface in the attitude of the Karens toward the gov ment AS restitution to the nation for the footing of fire arms and large sum of money from the government by Karen bandits the Saw Ba said T have no cash to pay but own one thousand acres of paddy lands have de- clded to hand these to the Union Govern ment Referring to the footing of firearms the Saw Ba continued I appeal to the Karens to surrender all illeg al firearms to the Government within two months You can take 1t from that my appeal will be impemented by action"
 These are the words of statesmen One wonders what might happen in the Western world if it's states men were willing to take personal responsibility risk ing ever their power and prestige to heal the divisions among their people,
