Dear Sirs;

I am interested in obtaining information concerning confiscated Japanese fishing boats, as I heard that these boats were being offered for sale.

I am a middle aged man, military exempt and a willing worker. The information I would like is as follows:-

1. Average cost per boat.

2. Types of power plants (diesel, etc.)

3. What qualifications necessary.

4. What conditions on payments.

5. Whether they are equipped with fishing gear or not.

Please send, above information to:-

Charles Kobel

The Pas, Man.

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.
