LUESDAY, MARCH 16, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE / PAGE NINC p Ottawa To Rule B.C. Japs' Movements Until Ap L 2 Control | Approved For Another Year After Long Debate By George Kitchen : Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, March 16 (CP)--The Commons approved a one-year extension yesterday of wartime Orders-in-Council which authorize the government to control the movement of Japanese within the boundaries of British Columbia. Signifying extension to April 1, 1949, the chamber voted 73 to 23 against a C.C.F. motion ® which would have produced the automatic expiration of the orders at the end of this month, This division, an informal stand- ing vote, capped a three-hour de- bate in which C.C.F. members called for the abandoning of the restrictive measures and Labor Minister Mitchell, who implements policy on the Japanese, gave assur- ance that the orders would not be extended beyond tHe new 1949 ex- piry date. Opposing the C.C.F. move, Liberal and Progressive Conservative mem- bers from the B.C. coastal areas joined in suggesting that continued prohibition of the Japanese from B.C was best for the Japanese themselves. The debate developed as the House moved into committee to stidy the 27 orders which make up backbone of the government to extend emergency controls, such as those over prices and domestic rentals, for another year. The measure received second read- ing. Division Noted A CCF. attempt to transfer from the government to parliament the power to abolish the prices board produced a formal division in which the chamber voted 116 to 31 to reject a motion moved by Stan- ley Knowles (CCF-Winnipeg North Centre). Four Liberal members suggested the motion. Justice Minister Ilsley, moving the control legislation, said the government's decontrol policy has not reached a stage where all con- trols can be abandoned now or be- fore the end of this year. Most members 'would recognize this, John Bracken, Progressive Con- servative leader, said no one could oppose domestic rent controls but felt there were others which might be attacked when the measure reached committee stage. Mr. Mitchell, seeking extengion of J the Japanese orders, reported that as a result of his department's re- location program, only 6,291 Japan- ese how were living in British Columbia compared with a total of 21,975 in January, 1942, A total of 4,087 Japanese had been 'repatri- ated to aJpan on a voluntary basis, leaving Canada's Japanese popula- tion at 20,788. The Japanese who had been re- located had been "well received" and were "well regarded" in their new communities. The progress made reflected "great credit on the Japanese themselves." Giving assurance that there would be no further extension of the order beyond April 1, 1949, 'he said: "The government is of the opinion that the control over movement of Japanese into British Columbia from elsewhere in Canada should be retained for another year to af- ford additinoal time to ensure sta- bility of re-settlement elsewhere in Canada. "While my information 'is that the very great majority of persons of the Japanese race have no de- sire to return to the coastal areas of British Columbia, nevertheless the precipitated return of even a limited number at this time would possibly resurrect racial issues and animosities which have existed over many years but which will, I firmly believe, fully disappear within a very few years." Intolerance Charged Ross Thatcher (CCF-Moose Jaw), moving the C.C.F. motion to block the extension, charged that some of | the actions allegedly taken by the R.CM.P. against the Japanese in his riding were similar to those in a police state. There was "intol- erance and racial discrimination." Angus MacInnis (CCF-Vancouver East) said the Japanese had done no wrong and had not been charg- ed with any wrong-doing, yet their property had been confiscated and they themselves had been shipped out of British Columbia. David Croll (L-Toronto Spadina) joined the C.C.F. group in criticiz- ing the legislation and said: the excuses for it had disappeared when the war ended. He hoped Canada never again would be "guilty" of "official discrimination against a minority." Mr, Mitchell told Mr. Croll he liked to hear "these purists talk but you can't always be a purist" because the "first" obligation of a government was the safety of the state. The policy had been '"rea- sonable, fair and humane." Major-Gen. G. R. Pearkes, V.C. (PC-Nanaimo), supporting the gov- ernment said many of the things that had happened in B.C. were not easily forgotten, although the wounds were healing, The Japan- ese themselves felt it would be un- wise to return to the coast. RAZZBERRY FOR BUCK Vancouver, March 16 -- (CP) -- Tim Buck, national leader of the Labor-Progressive Party, yester- day was the centre of a near-riot when he told 2,000 University of British Columbia students: "There's a crisis of national policy in Canada." Students greeted Buck with shouts, jeers, pea-shooters and cap pistols, and at one point a dead cat landed at his feet.

Gen. Guy Simonds, probably Can. ada's most successful field com- mander of the Second Great War, may be recalled from London to Ottawa if the international situa- tion becordes graver with conse- quent growth in threat of a new conflict. This is the belief of some well.in- formed military authorities here who see Gen. Simonds as the like- liest choice as the next chief of the Canadian General Staff. This 45- year-old professional soldier now is the army instructor at the Imper- ial Defense College in London. Dur. ing the Northwestern European campaign he was commander of the 2nd Canadian Corps. The present C.GS is Gen. Charles Foulkes, also 45, former commander of the 1st Canadian Corps. He has been in that post for nearly threg years. Judging by precedent, he would not likely re. main there for a further peroid. Last fall, new chiefs of the naval and air staffs were appointed, After the war, Gen, Simonds went to the IDC and some thought he was going into military exile. Oth- erg said he was prepared to leave the Canadian Army for the British Army. However, he has stayed. He has been in frequent contact with Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery, Chief of the Imperial General Staff, and at the IDC has had an opportunity to study prob- lems of global strategy, atomic war. fare and particularly questions of Commonwealth defense. There is probably no other Can- adian officer better equipped to Lt. emergency arise. Gen. Simonds has had differen. ces in the past with some of the older senior officers in the perman. ent force but his stock is high with most of the younger men who have served under him. If he returns to Ottawa in a cri. sis he won't have a great deal to work with--there are only about 15,500 men in the army, 7,000 in the navy and 11,500 in the air force-- take over in Ottawa should an | Of Simonds reat Grows but this would be the foundation on which to build. \ Assessing the world situation, many defense authorities here in. dicate privately their concern at the comparative meagreness of the present.day Canadian forces. It is pointed out, however, that if men aren't obtained in recruit. ing drives, such as the current cam. paign, there is little else that can be done to build up the forces, out. side universal military training. The leading exponent of such training is Gen. H, D. G. Crerar, re. tired commander of the 1st Cana. dian Army. Only in the face of virtual war is the question likely to be con. sidered seriously, with the general opinion in governmental circles that it would be a waste of effor{ at present to have compulsory training. 95 At Cockfight Fined In Quebec St. Hyac!nthe, Que.,, March 15-- (CP)--Adelard Legace and Victor Boudriau were fined $100 and costs each, Monday when found guilty by Magistrate Victor Chabot of having organized a cock fight in a garage at Ste.

They are doing ver well even though this is the flrst, time they have attempted this type of preci. sion drill. With a little more prac- tice they should become expert enough to put on an exhibition that they can be proud of. Last week we began a series on Lloyd Chadburn D.8.O. and Bar, D.F.C. The first article appeared last week in our: regular column, and here is the second. Loyd was connected with bomb. er escort for seme time, and in his desk he kept a telegram which read "American bomber crew en. thusiastically grateful for splendid cover provided today by your Spit. fire pilots". It was signed by Ma. jor-General Anderson, the Com- manding General of Bember Com. mand, US. 8th Army Air Force. There are other wires, and letters too, for Chad's Spits nursed home wounded Fortresses, Liberators and Marauders. Chad tpok praise lightly, but not responsibility. As a result he com. manded the deep personal respect not only of the bomber crews but of every pilot who flew with him, and every member of the ground crews on the many stations that housed his Spitfire. Chad was recognized by fighter pilots ag probably the greatest fighter leader of the R.CAF., and its most brilliant fighter tactician. The men of the City of Oshawa, and City of Winnipeg Squadrons followed Chad into battle with al. most devout confidence. Long before he became a wing ccmmander, Chad had his effect on other pilots. Fliers returning to Canada often mentioned him: a quiet chap, strong, wide across, and slim through who passed on his confidence to less sure pi- lots without ever mentioning it. You could feel it, just watching him stride across the field and climb into an aircraft. The results of Chadburn's lead- ership were evident in his records. His wing escorted Marauders on more than fifty missions, and lost only one bcmber, In December, 1943, his fliers scored an outstanding victory. They were over Holland escorting a force of seventy-two Marauders when they were attacked by thirty Me 109's: Chadburn led the defence and counter.attack brilliantly, and in the raging dog-fight ten Me 109's were shot down with the loss of only one of Chad's squadron. Two of these had fallen before Lloyd's own guns. His full person. al score was fourteen aircraft de. stroyed, and many more damaged. On a party Lloyd had as much fun as the next chap, but he never lost the deep respect of the -next chap. He was a very humane man, and every loss to his squadron af- fected him deeply. Actually, he los} very few. New pilots learned quickly that their job was to escort mbers, not pick fights, for the wingco felt just as deep a personal responsibility to the bomber crews as he did to the men of his own squadron. Lloyd Chadburn was Canada's most decorated fighter pilot but he never developed the stand-offish. ness of a brass.hat. He remained a Jaughing young airman, twenty. four years of age, who would talk about anything except his own ex. ploits. Lloyd's decorations include the DSO. and Bar, striped DFC, 1939-1943 Star for service overseas and the new Canadian service rib. bon. He went down on D-Day, a victim of chance. Flying at the head of his squadron, and flanked by an- other squadron over the land, they had come to cover while the army fought ashore. Chad was adding more hours to the thousand he had flown in his Spitfire, Just how it + happened is not clearly known but fie and his wingman .tangled, an: went down to crash on the soil of France. A few days later fliers the world over knew that Chad had bought it, and they were sorry; for Chad was the best. "Gone is the Angel", but airmen will long remember the flying genius of Wing Commander Lloy:i Chadburn, D.S.O. and Bar, D.F.C. We have shown you the man whose name the local Air Cade: Squadron proudly bears He was a model, not only for us, but for ali people who belive in "freedom. Nothing that we may say can pos- sibly add to his fame 'and glory for it was written in the skies of Eur. ope fighting for a cause which he believed was worth his life. We can however work to attain the free. dom which he and the countless theusands who died with him gave their lives to achieve. Tweed Is to Vote For Second Time On Beer Measure Belleville, March 16, -- (CP) -- Residents of the nearby village of Tweed will have another chance to decide if they want beverage rooms as a result oi Judge J. C. Anderson s ruling Monday that a vote last No= vember is invalid. Court hearing on an application of E. J. Cournyea, Tweed Hotel owner, for a second vote was up- held by Judge 'Anderson, who sev- eral weeks ago reserved judgment on the matter. Tweed municipal officials will decide when the sec- ond vote will be held. , In the first vote liquor store and beer warehouse questions were car- ried out but the bevarage room lost by six votes. The application for a second vote charged irregularities in voting procedure. In giving his decision Judge Anderson declared the vote invalid because a number of vot- ers whose names were not on the voters list had cast their ballots without first being sworn in, Times.Gazette classified ads pay --Why not try one today.
