Quote:
"The Wartime Information Board scorned only one ethnic minority: the Japanese Canadians. At the same time that government propagandists were persuading English Canadians that ethnic Canadians could be loyal to their adopted land, the National Film Board documentary The Mask of Nippon was portraying deceit and duplicity as integral elements of Japanese national character."
-- John Herd Thompson
