There were 2 reasons why the Chinese had the right to stay in Canada:a. There was trading between China & Britain; Canada, being a British common- wealth should treat the Chinese politely just as they were treated nicely in China.b. The great contributions that the Chinese had given to developing Canada. However, it was indeed a pity that shortly after the completion of the trans-Canada railway, exclusion of the Chinese began to prevail. It came to its peak when the 43 immigration laws were passed in 1923.There were 4 things that all Chinese should not forget: a) China was treated as though it were not a respectable country, b) The Chinese Canadians were receivinginhuman treatment, c) unfair and unequal treatment were given to the ChineseCanadians, d) By paying kxd head tax, the Chinese were treated as thoughthey were animals.As a result of the above mentioned, the Chinese should observe July 1 as ahumiliation day.Things that had to be done on July 1 :a. Speech makingb. During the 1st remembrance day, telegrams about what was happening should be sent to various association and newspapers in China.c. Artciles in English should be published on the English newspaper so that everybody would know about the unjust k treatment faced by the Chinese Canadians. However, all Chinese were advised to be as law abiding as possible. Under no circumstances should they attempt to break the law.P. 3 3) News from VICTORIA.
