TORONTO. — Just as in the case of the Evacua!»i6n Property Clahns our Siti:ugglもfor jusUcもi^urii parallelto oiir cousins, isひutJv of th6 l^order. T^he propertylossclaims were fひughtfor by the Japanese American Citizen's League during the same period that the NationalJ CCA was eiigageain a s】miiar si niggle in Gana4んCi;riously eひough the compensation for the I property Jo^es in bひth countries amounted to about the same percentage, rouきhly10 -15cents on the dollar.
TheissuもむfRedi,essfro加 让e go V eminent of力ana da for the evacuation ofJaひa-nese Canadians is beingdぉ, ぉssed at a time whert the same questionis Demg pursued actively in both the Senate and the House of R印reS!Mitativ^s , Hie United States. Oiir advantage is tjiat we hayきthe opportunity toleainむoin the mistakes made by our American counterparts since they have "en involved with the issue si|ice1970.
The question i)f"Repar汪-tions" as it was ori^imlly "lied 、vas first introduced at the1970 J ACL Biennia】 Convention. It was notimtil 8 yearslater at the1978 Convention in Salt Lake City that a definれもplan was adopted. The"Redre^" j)Ian as it was nowre«naitied called for the U.S. goveminent to pay each person expelled from his home of incarcerated as a result of EO 9066; the sum of $25.綱. Under this plan the total cost to the government would he roughly 3 bHIion
After 8 years of research, discussion, and collaborate on and countless number of meetings this沐as the fi—
plan approved by the Salt Llake Co nfret ice in July of 1978. As a matter (rf inter-est; theCkitaポan ーn Senator fromCalifori^ia, Senator Hayakawa who was the guest speaker at this cひnfゃ:rence strongly opposed the pi an publicly, and was seyei.eJy critici加d by theJACL ie^dersand the Jaゎanese American community. And yet siibseなuently, he was one of the original sponsors of the Senate柳 to establish a fact finding
c細ni】'ssi(m, a plan ado pi by the J ACL.
Withinless than a year from the Salt Lrake ConjTerence the pia IT that Jiadtaken 8 yeap to dきv elop had to be scr叩ped and an entirely differcint apiiroach was taken upon the advice of the J邵anese American Senators, principally Daniel Inひuye froiii H辱wai',TJius, by observing whatlias ta"n plまe in the Uniti^d States andlearning froin (heir eぇpe:Hence it maj^ I)6 that Japs mese Canadlほns can save thiemきelves 8 years oftinie:andeffoi:t by apprか aehing this subject from the piTO per perspecMve.
Itbecame aiipareiitlb thも Senatoぉfrom好aivaii as wellastp the Gongi:essman from Cゅfornia, that thp t)】aii ap—ved atゆel978 ConVenU(m would meet with a great dealof opposition nひt only fromthegc^v-ermnent but fro in th e g: General p op u お ce as well.It sma^cked of greed and monetari^ as the pri-
