GRACE MACINN1S REPLIES TO THE SUN
Editor, The Sun: .
In its anxiHy TO aftark fellow-'('aiiadiaij:* 01 Jnpaivc.se oriirin. Tin*. Yam-oiivcr Sun losvs no b�'ts. It .C\ f�n pw*.., out. of its \\ ay to tak�-an. cdjoiial slap, at Mr.*, Hush Mai Mil Jan and the Toronto Coin-miftfr .who .are h�dpini: ihest- i ipl-z�-ns ivbuild their lives. One woithi think "that -Tlu' SUM 'might be/ p'i!�-'-ftaiV'd in "k-.t Uiese people'tight U-v civil liberty in Kastet n Canada. lUit Tsiirh is not the case.
Doe.s The Sun know that persons <TI Japanest1 origin arc forliidden to travel-over ;">i't miles from home, �anywhere.' in Cnnada, without H'U It OH* permit? Or that .such per-..sons.are forbidden to go from one. province to another without an JxCMI*, permit?' Or forbidden to change their, place o! residence 'without, 'an UCMP permit? Or .to be absent f 1:0111 homo for o.v�-r 3u days \\Hhout an HCM I', permit"-' It, sounds lik�- Hitler.. H IS like Hitler^ ;
The Toronto Committee is trying to . gfi. these orders-in-council; re-poiik't.i.". V'ntil Uii.s is 'done, until we arc prepared to accord to our fellow-Canadians ol: Ja pan eke origin every civil right We demand. for ourselves, the Toronto C^oiix-. i�itvoe' will have the best of- reasons, lor remaining in exi.sleimv Surely it is linie that we Hritish Columbians :iokr Tlte Sun; and the �Jitth? group of race-baitbr.< for . vihow it speaks'tharwe .have liad enoiiKh of this,sniping .ar our fel-]o\v .Canailiaus of Oriental origin and those oilier fellow-Canadians \vho are trying to he)p tlioni.

What's the matter, doesn't the Toronto .Committee like !em back there? And then again, of course Mrs. Maclnnis may be speaking for the interests who . brought them here in the '-'first place; but just because I have . had to fish in competitroh with them for 20 years is no reason i why my. children-should have to do. so. They won't either, if I can dp anything about it,
J'erhaps if Mrs.: Maolnnis A\6uld rontine nor e.v.MLA abilities to improving tho social and economic life in this country it would be better for all of us, and leave the .hil)ane?e problem to. those better
fitted to cope with it.. -

Tbeie ale ^11 kinds of puddles in this city. The 'empty lot* form miniatuiv lakes, and on one I saw two kids Oil rt raft. -
Someone told nie thai driiinage was bad in this' city because the laiul was so Ilai and b^cansv the .lake level and street level doe.s not allow �'iioupb. slant to the sc\\r-r pipes.

Last .week the newspajtei; said o.ne Japanese hud staged a .one-man invasion of a joint and walked .oft with $150. '�' ,
I think the trouble is tliere is so little to do in Winnipeg. You. couklieo bowling of course to a dingy smoke -filled joint on Main street; The place is filled with. Niseis on Sundays. THe price is higher on Sniulaysi an<l theoretically you have to be a meniber and have a card, � �'..'/..
: 1 d^on't know of any other Nis.ei hang-out in Winnipeg. Ivxcept for a canteen 'glance, which the girls
. hold every oilier 'Thursday, The same binu-h :tui ns out usually, and people w.ho go. aren't 'too enthusiastic. Something seems to be missing. . ;. ; '
I suppose it's because. JUe evacs in this cijiy live quite far apart, They don't attend any . special
. church, and 1 .have a Reeling ihat
