Canada Japanese
To Get Bonus

VANCOUVER, B. c., July
% New Canadian Dispatch)-
Another phase of discrimination
in British Columbia against per-
sons of japanese ancestry was
eliminated with the granting of
the Cost of Living Bonus to BIC.
Japanese pensioners thereby pla-
cling them on an equal footing
with other pensioners.
The National JCCA was advised
earlier this week by the Hon. George
s. Pearson, B. c. Minister of Health
and Welfare that beginning next
month, all eligible japanese old-age
pensioners residing in B. G. will re-
ceive Cost of Living Bonus of $40
a month. The exception will be
those who are in New Denver and
SLOGAN City being cared for under
the Dominion-Provincial Agreement.
Pensioners In these centres will be
granted the bonus when they move
to any locality within the province.
It was also learned that japanese
pensioners living in another pro-
vince which has reciprocal agree
ments with the B. G. Government
will also be eligible for the bonus
provided that the person has re-
sided in B. c. three years before
making application for the pension
and that the pension was granted
in that province.
With the bonus, they will receive
$50 a month.
Thus, in Ontario, which has an
agreement with B. c., a pensioner
who was granted a pension while
still residing in B. c., will continue
to receive $50, rather than the $40
which is the Ontario rate. 1t is I'M
derstood that the old-age pensioner
remains the charge of the provincial
government which first granted him
the pension even though he may
move to another province. However
the cheques will come from the
province in which he resides.

Looking Ahead
By GEORGE s. BENSON
A TEST FOR BAD LAWS

From here on out. if America is
to remain the number one land oil
liberty ard freedom and prosperity.
we are going to have to keep sharp
eye for bad legislation We're going
to have to analyze everything that
comes up with this thought in
mind: Will it help or hinder Amer
lea in the task of preserving the
liberties and opportunities that are
responsible for our high wages and
comparative prosperity. 1t would be
better to be little suspicious and
keep freedom, than be careless and
lose it.
In short. the price of freedom
is still vigilance. do not say we
should fear progress. The American
people have not been afraid of
change. and progress has been our
lot for many years. However, to
buy everything that comes up mere
ly because it seems new to us. might
mean accepting the sucker-bait Of
dictatorship. There's no progress in
that. We need to examine each pro-
position, no matter how wonderful
1t may seem, to find out where 1t
will take U.s.
Little at q Time
Our founding fathers came to
these shores to escape some of the
very things we are heading into.
Little by little we have come to
adopt many policies that make the
American Way of Life more and
more insecure. Just one little law
may not turn republic into die
tatorship of some kind. But lot
of laws together can. That is why
1t is possible for us to become exact
ly what we don't want to be, and
hardly be aware it is happening.
Most of us look with djsmay at
what is happening to Britain under
naturalization, or government ma
nagement, of such basic industries
as the railroads and coal mines
We think: oh, well, it could never
happen over here. But 1t has hap
pened. It is happening! Right in
America. our railroads already bur-
dened with red-tape and taxed al
most to the breaking point, the gov
eminent bureaucracy is cycling the
railroads further.
Control in Disguise
I refer to a harmless looking bill
now before Congress Is. 238 in the
Senate and H. r. 378 in the House,
designed, it is said, Ito promote the
public safety" 1t wants to give po-
wer to the Interstate Commerce
Commission to require any railroad
Ito establish rules regulations, ano
practices with respect to operation
of trains intended to promote safe
ty." Sounds harmless. Safety is 9
good cause
The railroads have a fine saftey
record. Government control of safety
is obviously uncalled for. Here's the
joker: this bill would give govern
ment bureau almost complete auth.

B AY FISHING
BILL OPPOSED
Commercial Fishermen Join
With Conservationists To
Defeat Proposal

A proposed bill in the Ohio
House of Representatives, which
would prohibit commercial fishing
in :Saniusky Bay, is expected to be
bitterly contested by both CONNER
Icial interests and state conserva-
tion officials.
Miss Esther Hardy, Sandusky
County representative, is author
Of the proposed bill. She asks that
la line be established from the gov
ernment dock at Cedar Point to
the coast guard station at Marble
head, inside of which no net or
seine fishing would be permitted.
Streams entering the area also
would be restricted.
Several sportsmen's groups and
Izaak Walton League members,
are supporting Miss Hardy's pro-
posal which was presented joint
ly with Rep. Roy Harmony.
Conservation Department Com
missioner H. A. Buck" Rider has
Expressed his opposition to the
proposal as he feels that hook and
line fishermen will be unable to
control carp and other rough fish
in the area if commercial seine
ing is forbidden.
In a speech at Sandusky, Rider
said that fishing experts do not
know of any effective way to re-
move carp and sheephead from
any body of water. He added that
If commercial fishing was banned,
the carp would soon take over and
game fish would suffer.
He said that during 194S, there
were 13 licensed commercial fish
ermen operating in Sandusky Bay
and that ~ per cent of their catch
last year were carp, sheephead or
other rough fish.
While Miss Hardy's proposed
bill would prove a boon to Vaca-
tionland publicity, it appears to be
in for rough waters" before it be-
comes law.
