HUGHES-by Mr. Sproule- asked :
1. Have fishing licenses been granted at Nanaimo, or other British Columbia points to Japanese fishermen?
2. How many Canadian fishermen of the Caucasian race of British stock were refused licenses at the same time?
3. Was the reason the British fishermen were refused licenses because the Japanese had been there a longer period?
1. Is the government aware that certain Japanese become Canadian subjects, and upon concluding their business in Canada return home Japanese subjects?
