| Scope and content |
This file contains correspondence and memoranda of A.S. Nicholson, Assistant Timber Controller. The correspondence between H.R. MacMillan and Nicholson demonstrate the lumber industry's issues and concerns during wartime. In addition
to Nicholson's "Report on Western trip" from 1940, Nicholson also makes suggestions based on his observations, one of them being to "[m]ake it
very clear that there are now no restrictions on the sale or shipment of lumber any
place in Canada, and that it is the desire of the Control that the Domestic Lumber trade proceed
unhampered...." Also included are letters concerning the lumber needed for POW internment
camps at Angler and Neyes, Ontario—where Japanese Canadians also resided.

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.
