Riots Feared In B.C. if Japs Stay on Coast

Description

Alderman H.D. Wilson warned that there would be riots unless the Japanese on the West Coast of Canada are not removed. He was en route to Ottawa to recommend that Japanees males 18 and over be removed from the coastal areas and that he would recommend to the city council that all Japanese be removed east of the Rockies to prevent any fifth column activity.
