NC NOTES

The regular monthly meeting oil
The NVC will be held on Friday
evening Feb. 81, the usual time
and place Since this will be the
last meeting before the annual
meeting to be held in March, the
agenda will include the matter OF
nominations and election procedure
rs well as other business such as
The memorial services for Nisei
war dead and the final reports on
he recent basketball tournament
All NVC members should plan to
attend this important meeting.
Speaking OF the March elections
reminds us to urge all NVC men
% consider very carefully the neces-
5ity of selecting strong and able
men to fill the key positions in the
organization. Especially is this true
with respect to the office of Chair
man, the top position in the NVC.
Without any doubt, the job is a
tough one, requiring man who
is leader and an administrator
able to obtain the cooperation and
best efforts of fellow members
while at the same time he con-
seientiously represents the NVC to
the public and keeps the work 60
ing for the betterment of the whole
organization.
This correspondent takes his hat
off to the present Chairman, Shire
Kashino, for tle ereat job ne has
done for the NVC during the past
year. The NVC Will soon have to
elect another Chairman to carry on
Shiros work This may be difficult,

progress during the coming year,

why We urge the veterans to con-
slider the whole question very care
fully before they cast their ballots
for the man Of their choice.

persal also solved a social and eco
nomic problem, which the Japa-
nese themselves are ready to adj
, nit.
Having broken up the coastal
colonies. and having encouraged
and assisted the japanese to es-
tablish themselves in other parts of
the country in assimilable numbers,
the Dominion Government has the
right to expect cooperation from
British Columbia
Ottawa has done almost exactly
what this province has requested.
About 1000 japanese who wished
to return to Nippon have been re-
patriated. About 1900 have been
scattered, roughly in accordance
with Prime Minister Mackenzie
Kings 1944 declaration that they
should be settled more or less
evenly across Canada (because)
the problem is one to be faced by
the whole of Canada and not by
b c. alone
Very we'll There are ABOUT 5000
left in B. c. This is about one
quarter as many as in 1871 Pre-
sunably they can be absorbed in
the fast-eXpanding economy of this
great province So long as they
follow diversified occupations and
do not resort to their old tendency
to monopolize certain pursuits such
as fishing, they need not be a prob
lem.
Probably some of them will even
return to Vancouver when the
/, coastal security zone is abolished.
Their reception may be warmer
than their welcome in certain
quarters. but B c. must be fair
British Columbians have asked
other provinces to absorb a pro-
portionate share and B. c. must
retain its quota.
! To deny them the right to work
in the woods, which they obtained
! by federal wartime regulation, IS q
piece of needless aggravation That
merely cuts their new roots and in.
duces them to drift back into theil
| former haunts and habits.
Victoria's policy on this matter
appears unconsidered. Unless ano
urtil the policy Is abandoned Bri-
fish Columbia will be shamed In the
g.! eyes of the whole Dominion.
