Three Die IN Auto
Collision Saturday

CONTINUED from page ous)
Gliding or perhaps different angle
is available.
The two cars met squarely, the
heavier and sturdier Buick with
its crushed front explaining be-
yond words h o W a lighter car,
like the Studebaker, could come
out of the collision so completely
wrecked.
In the impact, Schnee suffered
severe chest injuries. one of his
lungs being punctured as he was
t hrow wn against the steering
wheel. Mrs. Schnee, who also oc-
cupied the front seat, suffered
severe decorations a nd bruises
about the legs.
Both Robertson and Home Gun
suffered crushed skulls as they
were thrown forward against the
windshield. Their deaths ap-
parently were almost instant.
Yellow Kidney suffered severe
injuries about the face and upper
portion of the skull. At the local
hospital, where he was t a k e n
shortly after the accident, there
appeared greater hope for his re-
covery the latter part of t h S
week than at first.
1t is the belief of o m e who
viewed the scene of the accident
the day following that a chuck
hole in the road at the west end
of the gravel pile might h av
been the direct cause of the &C.
cident. On the basis of excessive
speed, it is pointed out that the
Studebaker might have had tc
temporarily maintain a center
position in the road until it got
comfortable after being bounced
out of the chuck hole-if the
chuck hole was struck.
Both cars were taken to Ham
by's Garage and during the week
have been viewed with the sober
reflection of the need of bel n 6
alert of the dangers of the high
way.

Policy of Redistribution
On August q. 1914 Prime Minis
ter King not only announced a pro-
gram of segregation. which would
require loyalty commission" but
also the policy of permanent redis-
tribution of British Columbia eva
cuees. This policy is based upon
the assumption that the japanese
problem has been caused by their
concentration in one province, thus
giving rise TO several occupational
monopolies. If the Japanese could
be dispersed the problem would be
solved permanently. This aSSump-
ton has never been questioned by
policy makers, as far as we know,
by administrators. nor by political
opponents of Mr. King. Although
announced in 1914. there were no
Signs of "resettlement-mi ."
either by evacuees or administrator
until after vi Day. some two years
after the first step for eastern re-
settlement were taken.
The third report of the Depart
ment of Labor. Establishment of
japanese in Canada. 1944-46 states
that on July l. 1912, three months
before evacuation was completed,
1880 japanese remained in Bri-
fish Columbia; on July 1, 1915. as
the time segregation WIS under way,
there were still 1914 in that pro-
vince.

The setting of the war problem
of the japanese in Canada. although
described by Japanese as sue
cessful operation. has not progress
ed rapidly. On March Is, 1948,
Parliament continued control over
movements into and reSidece with
in the coastal defense zone as de-
fined in 1912 For the first time,
however, this order is self -revOking
and all controls will be removed on
March 81, 1919. But it is the pre-
vious session of Parliament which
is of greater interest. That was the
session which heard an extended
statement of important changes in
policy, some of which had been in
itiated eleven month earlier; held
the first full debate on various is
sues at the time it was considering
postwar restrictive measures; re-
ceived the final report of the De-
partment of Labor; investigated the
policy of liquidation of property and
the operations of the Office of Gus
todian; and considered permitting
Canadians of japanese ancestry to

most of whom are citizens, almost
two years after Vi Day, it re-
ceived intense opposition on the
basis of principles. The Progress
sive Conservative Party joined
the members of the C.C.F. attack
ing this request for continued
control. The C.C.F. offered an
amendment for removing Privy
Council GAG from the schedule of
continuing orders. But, when the
vote was taken only two Liberals.

Effective b. C. Pressure
Thus Privy Council 946 remained
in force for an additional year, but
in practice it was not applied fully
to Japanese east of the Rockies. Al
though the amendment was lost,
this debate served notice on the
government that Parliament would
not tolerate further delays in tidy
ne up the program. The retention

has heen. Although there may
have been more basis for retaining
control in 1947, the case is less clear
for 1913. The Vancouver Sun ex-
claimed, a week before the latest
debate. that compromise" would
lie made because a special election
was expected in one of the Van
couver districts and that Liberal
Party members, fearful of their
chances, raised 'rumpus" at a
caucus when it was indicated that
no further controls were desirable.
The survey of newspapers for
1947 and until March Is, 1913 in
dicates clearly that the Liberal
Party politicians of British Col
umbia are far behind public opin-
ion in that province. Thus, al
though the hurdle of local ac-
ceptance dropped long ago, the
hurdle of political pressure, on the
basis of a by-electiOns, remains
until March 81, 1919. The reac-
lions to this are not known as yet,
but surely it is an affrOnt to the
new feelings of national dignity
and respect h C h Canadians
achieved during World War II.
From the remarks reported in
Hansard, ii is evident that many
members of Parliament feel dis
gusted. The only reason for this
measures being accepted at all
lies in the fact that the order is
self -revOking.

1947. Long before the decision was
given, the evacuees regarded 1t as
a lost cause. And now they have
received bill for 81 800 for court
costs.
Three Years for Claims
The second event was the APP
pointment of a commissioner to IN
vestigate claims OF property losses.
During the autumn of 1947 Justice
Bird received claims; shortly after
the New Year the hearings were
started. No official word has been
ven as to their total, but news
reports say that the 5000 claims
total about S10OO0,OO0. Due to the
amount of work, arrangements have
been made for county judges in GER
tain centers to hear evidence. But
even then il is expected that three
years are required for hearings and

Noted SOcioIogist BlameS Political
Pressure in R. c. as Chief Reason
For nti-Japanese Laws in Canada
By PROF FORREST LAvIoLETTE

Editors note: This article by Forrest E. La
Violette, former University of Washington pro-
fessor and now associate professor of sociology at
McGill University in Montreal, Canada, appeared
in the April q issue of Far Eastern Review, pub
lished by the American Institute of Pacific Rcla-
tions. Professor LaVioettc has written several
books on the evacuation and aftermath of both Ca
NADIA and America s japanese. His latest book is
''The Canadian Japanese in World War H.. In
the article below he blames political pressure from
British Columbia as the chief reason for the reten-
ton of war-born legislation prohibiting the issu-
ance of fishing licenses to Japanese, and giving
power to the Minister of Labor for controlling the
Japanese)

was possible and. by March rs, 1916,
almost one half of the Japanese in
Canada, 1852, had requested re-
moval to Japan. Eventually only
1854 sailed, for the government re-
versed its policy in response to

In a Supreme Court case to test
the validity Of enforced deportation,
the Court supported the govern
ment. 1t was clear, since We Day,
that Canadians now had time, ener-
gv and news space to devote to
questions of civil rights. The Ca
binet could not fail TO acknowledge
that its policy was unpopular even
though legal. Nonetheless, when
the Prime Minister was requested to
withdraw the segregation orders-in-
council, he failed to do so until
months later after referring the
case to the PIivy Council in Lon
don. AS expected, this decision al
SO upheld the governments policy
even though Mr. King could not fol-
low it.
During the war it had been chief
~ the Cooperative Commonwealth
Fedora ton (C.C.F) Party and the
churches which let the government
know what they thought of its pro-
gram. But, after We Day, the
Cabinet received for the first time
clear-cut broader indication of
public sentiment on the issues I'M
der discussion. It was clear that
the government misread the mo-
tives of the japanese, for, when
given an opportunity to resettle
without too many limitations, with
increased government grants. and
with some assurance of remaining
in Canada. about two-thirds of
them abandoned their tactics of
remaining in British Columbia as
long as possible, even at the risk
of enforced deportation.
Continuation of War Powers
For effecting orderly decontrol
the Cabinet did not find it diff
cult to secure authority for keep
ing in force necessary legislation
at the time that the National
Emergency Transitional Powers
Act, 1915 was tabled But eighteen
months ! a e r, Continuation of

items, it was this legislation which
kept in force until March 81. 1948

fishing licenses to Japanese: Privy

member from Saskatchewan, had
made many speeches about such
bill. Thus when the government
attempted to continue strict and
' absolute control over the Japanese

due to many factors. The emo
tiOnal shock of evacuation was
maintained throughout the war
period. Although the government
claimed dispersal as a goal, the
limitation within which it Operat-
ed were narrow and almost self
defeating because evacuees were
restricted in movements, unable to
purchase farms, business proper
lies, or homes. encountered the
hard facts Of housing congestion,
and had no assurance that they
could remain in Canada even IT
they did move east. Furthermore,
the Cabinet compromised by per-
hitting lumber interests TO use
Japanese labor in British Column
bia. In addition, nothing done
by the government was interpreted
by the evacuees as a sincere ef-
fort to be just and humane. Even
resettlement was interpreted as
inhuman.
The impasse of resettlement was
broken in 1916 Ottawa suddenly
reversed its segregation policy-no
enforced deportations. With the
war over the process of evacuees
re-orienting themselves started, es-
pecially after this change in policy.
Between January l and July l. 1916,
1878 evacuees left British Column
bia AS of January, 1947, they were
distributed as follows: British Col
umbia. in the eastern portion, SITS;
Prairie Provinces, chiefly Manito-
ba and Alberta 1911; Ontario, 6,616;
quebec. chiefly in Montreal, 1,247;
others. AZ making a total of 20.588
Japanese remaining in the Domin-
ion after sailings to Japan were
completed By March IS, 1913, the
Minister of Labor estimated that the
number in British Columbia had
been reduced an additional 400. AL
though not the stated ideal of dis
hibution, it is apparently the best
that Ottawa could do within the
given political and economic limits.
More importantly, anti-Japanese
newspapers, e.g., the Vancouver Sun,
are well satisfied with the results.
A survey of news clippings from
British Columbia for 1947 and
through the first week of March,
1913. indicates that all editorialists
are pleased. But Canadians do not
want this redistribution disturbed,
and this was the chief argument
which the government presented
for retaining control over move
ment for an additional year
Prime Minister'S Hurdles
A political axiom attributed to
Prime Minister King is that the
way to overcome a hurdle is TO
wait for it to fail. In the whole
program of evacuation there have
been two hurdles; local cOmmu-
nifty rejection. with the evacuee
counterpart of resistance to re-
settlement and political pressure
from British Columbia. The for
mer seemed to be swept away. al
most miraculOusly, by VI Day,
while the latter has been effective
until the very last and is, con-
trary to the current argument Of
