Scope and content |
This file contains correspondence, memoranda, and records pertaining to the transportation
of Japanese Canadians and Japanese nationals planned to be deported on the Marine
Falcon in 1946. It includes the following: administrative correspondence regarding
baggage allowances and restrictions as well as inspection; correspondence on the increases
in applicants for "repatriation"; reports from Oscar Orr regarding the procedure; notifications regarding a strike of seamen in San Francisco,
USA which caused a delay in the deportation; other logistical considerations of the Department of Labour in order to carry out the procedure; and correspondence regarding the arrangement
of a fourth sailing (not all who were slated to leave on the third sailing could,
meaning several individuals who were prepared to leave to Japan would be forced to wait a period of time).

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.
