Re: Port Albion (Ucluelet) property.
Your letter of September 29th, 1944, addressed to Mr. Risuke Hamade, Registration No. 12150, of Lemon Creek, Slocan, B. C., has been referred to us for attention.
"Ottawa's policy" of orderly liquidation of coastal properties, insofar as it affects
the property of Mr. Hamade, is strenuously objected to by him and he has no intention
of effecting a sale of his property for any reason whatsoever. We wish you to note,
on Mr. Hamade's behalf, his objection to the proposed sale of his property and while
he is forced, due to present conditions, to stand by, he is not agreeing to the sale
and is not prepared to foreward to you the Certificate of Title which you have asked
for.

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.
