A concise summary of "complaints of Japanese Consul General regarding treatment of Japanese" is included within as well as a memorandum considering a policy of "placating the Japanese" by telling "the Custodian of Enemy Property to be a little more liberal in the application of his regulations affecting Japanese, to tell the Commissioner of Internment Operations that the internment camp at Angler is to be a model camp and to allow the more reliable Japanese, subject to security considerations, to settle in and take work in eastern communities away from the defence area." Also included are records regarding the deportation policy and expressions of concern about the criticisms made against the treatment as sources of enemy propaganda.

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.
