T Naruse to Department of the Secretary of State, Office of the Custodian, 28 February 1947

For Mr. Shears

Handwritten: Complaint

February 28, 1947 Raymond, Alta.

Department of the Secretary of State,

506 Royal Bank Building, Hastings and Granville Sts. Vancouver, B.C. Dear Sir:

At the time of registering my property with the Custodian my father and my sister was assured by Mr. Shears that the Custodian is there to protect Enemy Alien's properties. Instead of protecting my property at 857 East Cordova Street it was sold without my knowledge and at the value which is very unsatisfactory to me.

Yours truly,

(Signed) T Naruse

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.
