Chief Supervisor of Fisheries

Dear Sir.
You will remember me calling to see you just before Christmas and asking about the
Japanese fishing boats, and you told me at the time that nothing definite had been settled, and you advised me to write to you after the new year and you would
give me what information you could. I have been watching the papers and I see that
the Japanese fishing licenses have been suspended. The boat which I now own is too small for the grounds I intend trolling on this year. I wonder if you could give
me any information as to the procedure of obtaining a larger Trolling Boat
Sincerely Yours
Harry W. Pickles

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. While these are important realities of the history, the Landscapes
of Injustice Research Collective urges users to carefully consider their own terminological
choices in writing and speaking about this topic today as we confront past injustice.
