Description

April 17. Thurs. P.2 1. The in Vancouver was in favour of the restrictive law that prohibited Chinese from employing female whites. The Association asserted that they had the right to educate, train and improve the employees of the badly disciplined Chinese restaurants. They thought that youngsters might learn evil habits, such as smoking opium, or taking cocaine, from the Chinese. Some even suggested having total exclusion of Chinese from Canada. P.3 2. A Canadian Commercial affair inspector had returned to Canada after 15 years of research in China. He commented on the issue of prohibiting Chinese workers from entering Canada. He asserted that the prohibition would not inter- fere with the commercial development of the 2 countries. However, the relaxation of Chinese entry would greatly influence economic conditions in China. He stated that most of the Chinese immigrants were only from Canton and they were only poor coolies who had no contribution to the Canadian economy. Thus restricting them from gaining entry would not hinder the economic development of Canada. Mbreover, the friendship between the two countries was not endangered due to the fact that the Chinese immigrants were only minorities in the South. However, suggested that Canada should treat the Chinese students kindly because they would help the development of China in the future and in turn they would benefit future relationships between the two countries. 3. The C.K.T. (Victoria) announced on April 16 that the headquarter would pay the 3rd debt payment ($700 for the interest) on July 1st. Representatives would be sent to collect funds from various branch associations. 4. The C.B.A. in Victoria announced on April 17 that the C.B.A. had a joint function with the localities associations to collect and send the ancestor bones back to China. Workers had already sent to various Provinces and cities to collect bones. However, there were still some unfinished work in Since the workers could not go to work there, the Chinese canneries workers in were asked to assist the bone collection. The foremen of the Chinese cannery workers were asked to take the responsibility to send the bones to Victoria. There would be a $10 fee for each set of bones given to the collectors. The fee would be given by the Hoysun Association in Victoria. The bones had to be packed carefully with a label stating the name and origin of the dead person. The postage money would also be paid by the Hoysun Association.
