Deportation (From The St. Catharines Standard) In a British weekly paper of wide circulation a man who acted as ad- visor to British immigrants on be- half of the British legion alleges that Britons who have overstayed tncir leave or committed minor breaches of regulations governing aiiens are hauled to prison without warning or without time to com- municate with friends or their con- sul, compelled to join identification parades with the lowest type of criminals and are held incommuni- cado 24 hours. The article scores the United States system of hand- ling the deportation of aliens of which many ar: only guilty of over- staying their time and "have com- mitted no crime except the idiocy of going to the United States." ; The front page story in question has an interest to Canada for among many cases this Gerald Crichton cites is that of one, Herbert Upjohn, young English journalist employed on a Vancouver paper who visited the United States-on a six months' permit and overstayed his time in Tos Angeles, where he wrote for a journal. One day four armed of- ficers entered his hotel room and asked for his pastport. When he went to a drawer to get it one of them said: "That's all right, I have seen that trick before." He was handcuffed and taken to jail, where he protest- ed and unfortunately made reference that consideration might be shown a former war comrade. According to Mr. Upjohn, Inspector Carr, who is described as "one of those relics of America's penal days," replied. "So you are one of those guys who think they won the war? You're go- ing to learn there is a place on the map called the United States and be- fore you're through with this coun- try you're going to learn also that British Empire talk is as stale as a lousy cheese." Mr. Upjohn was sent to the county jail, finger printed and put in a cage called a "tank" along with Negroes, Mexicans and sweepings of the un- derworld, rounded up because a man was murdered the night before. With this group he was _ backed against a white wall, blinking into powerful lights, while detectives par- ticipating in the identification par- ade behind the glare, asked ques- tions. After the parade he was placed in a cell in a part of the jail where there were 48 other Britishers, The following morning he was sentenced to be deported to the country of his birth. After months in the Los Angeles jail, he was taken to prison, where he discovered that instead of returning him home to Vancouver the government was deporting him to the land of his birth, which hap- -| pened to be China. Handcuffed to 60 Chinese, Mr. Upjohn was shipped off to China, from where he had to make his own way home. The way I got rich is easy. I gave pe al CITIES TRANSPORTATION CO.
