estimated
by
Denny

He
said
that
so

who
have

about

toward
the
call-up
is
probably
more
clear-cut
than
Is
official
opinion
about
giving
Chinese
the
vote,
Mr.
Lee
believes.
"We
have
no
objection
to
fighting
for
Canada,
which
we
consider
our
country,"
he
said.
"But
e
do
believe
that
by
fighting
we
earn
the
right
to
be
cllUens."
"Older

re

hv
a
sort
of

We
do
not
belong
to
China,
nor
are
we
accepted
by
Canada,
y
Is
a
situation
that
the
Canadian
government
must
define
more
clearly."
Mr.
Lee
drew
attention
to
the
number
oi
Chinese
who
have
volunteered
for
service
in
the
Canadian
forces.
Among
them
Is
Kam
Lee,
a
local
boy,
who
Is

of
Mr.
Le
some
of
them
Canadian
born,
went
to

to
fight.
Some
of
them
were
killed.
"I
bellve
that
those
who
fight
for
Canada
and
those
who
fight
for

are
struggling
to
achieve

he
explained,
