Scope and content
Correspondence from Alfred Stenger to George J. Alexander, Assistant Commissioner of the Provincial Fisheries Department. Stenger was doing marketing research regarding fisheries and asked Alexander what stance the “Federal government has taken with regard to the reestablishment of the Japanese fishing trade.” He specifies that he is inquiring about “fishing by Japanese nationals in Japan, not to any B.C. Japanese.” Alexander responds by referring this matter to D.B. Finn, Deputy Minister of Fisheries, Ottawa, as it “should be addressed to the Federal authorities.”

Terminology

Readers of these historical materials will encounter derogatory references to Japanese Canadians and euphemisms used to obscure the intent and impacts of the internment and dispossession.
