No.39 (January 6, 1909)
Calculation of Interests (cont’d) According to our credible sources there is no other person, who is named Sunada beside Mr. Kan Sunada in Creston, in places that have a large Japanese population along the CPR branch line from Nelson, Cranbrook to Fernie. Mr. Sunada was in Vancouver in the spring two years ago, and then […]
No.35 (December 30, 1908)
Import of Prostitutes (cont’d) Among those who had landed as straight in the beginning but ended up falling into the caves, there are Okane of Hayashi, who has already left for Japan, Cranbrook’s Osuma, Okuni, Ōmori’s Oshizu, and Chiba’s Otomi. The list goes on. However, not everyone fell into prostitution in Canada. Some were already […]
No.32 (April 6, 1912)
Recruitment Fee is a Hundred Dollars The number of prostitutes did decrease but this change is not as significant as that of old devils, most of who have already returned to Japan. You may think that women do not decrease because new women are imported from Japan, but that is not true. In fact, there […]
No.40 (January 7, 1909)
Calculation of Interests (Cont’d) At last, I am going to say a few words for this section. It is concerned with a question of whether the existence of those caves positively or negatively affects the development of the fellow Japanese and their reputation. This problem is quite simple. A short answer would be adequate. That […]
No.41 (January 8, 1909)
Calculation of Interests (Cont’d) This should still be remembered by the reader, but as I wrote in No. 15 of the series in early December some of those prostitutes took clients even in trains. The harm they did to the reputation of fellow Japanese women, if not the entire Japanese population, is not small. Look […]
No.42 (January 9, 1909)
Calculation of Interests (Cont’d) Sometimes I hear a question like this. It is clear that caves do not even have a function of bringing Japanese people to the interior to settle down there, if they only do their businesses for foreigners and loathe Japanese as if they are snakes and scorpions. However, if they completely […]
No.43 (January 11, 1909)
Calculation of Interests (Cont’d) When she was in Three Valley, Oiwa used to set up a tent to work. She boldly settled in a place where Japanese people lived like that. Since Three Valley had a sawmill in which many Japanese engaged in labour, she immediately became popular and extorted as much money as she […]
No.44 (January 12, 1909)
Calculation of Interests (Cont’d) The rebutter might say that this does not prove that taking Japanese clients creates harm at all; you are not giving an actual example from the situation where all caves open up their businesses to the Japanese; you cannot make a general conclusion only with an example of one single prostitute […]
No.45 (January 13, 1909)
Calculation of Interests (Cont’d) If the existence of those caves only sow seeds of obstacles for the development of straight businesses by defaming the Japanese and causing trouble, the last question we can ask to figure out the interests of caves is whether they have merits or demerits from an economic standpoint. Let me explain […]
No.46 (January 14, 1909)
Calculation of Interests (Cont’d) In this section, I have already explained that those caves defame the Japanese, only sow seeds of obstacles for the development of straight businesses, and produce no merit even when they are assessed from an economic standpoint. I believe that insightful readers would nod and agree with my calculation of interests. […]
