T Naka to Office of the Custodian, 09 October 1947

COPY FOR Mr. Shears

Moose Jaw, Sask. October 9, 1947

Office of the Custodian Vancouver, B.C. Dear Sir:

I am sending back this cheque and want you to understand that I will never accept any cheques or money for my personal and real assets. I was put into internment as an "enemy alien" and it is not through my consent that you have done away with my assets. I want you to fully understand that until our case is settled I shall respect my rights.

Yours truly,

T Naka

(Tomijiro Naka, Reg. 01077, X.I. File 1209)

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.
