Description

Title Proper RG13 VOLUME 2987 FILE 9-148587
Date(s) of material from this resource digitized 1945
General material designation
From this file, LOI has digitized one textual record or image.
Scope and content
This file includes correspondence and records pertaining to the Japanese Language School (1672 West First Avenue, Vancouver). Records discuss whether the Department of National Defence, who leased the property from the Custodian of Enemy Property, has any obligation to reimburse the Custodian for damages to the property while they used the school. It was determined that "the word 'Custodian' is an alternative name for the Secretary of State and therefore there is no relationship of landlord and tenant between the Custodian and the Crown because there is no legal liability of that king between one department or minister of the government to another." F.P. Varcoe points to the Trading with the Enemy Regulations (1943) and the Shawaga and Ritcher cases to make this determination.

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.
