	The Politics of Racism: Chapter 5: Dispossession
		In September Murchison began urging Crerar to sell Japanese-owned farms "to approved persons as soon as possible under the best terms possible,"11 while compensating the Japanese owners on the basis of his appraisals, which he acknowledged were conservative and made no allowance for the speculative value of the farms.
		Consequently, in late November 1942 Crerar wrote to McLarty urging the sale of all Japanese Canadian property because of the "uncertainty as to the time and circumstances under which these people may ever return to their homes."15 That uncertainty raised questions about the depreciation of Japanese Canadian property.
		Crerar's subsequent actions, once he finally realized what was really being done to Japanese Canadians, verify he was not a willing participant in Mackenzie's plans to strip Japanese Canadians of their West Coast property.

		Minister of Agriculture, Thomas A. Crerar, resigned his position in Borden's government in 1919 because the government was not doing enough to lower tariffs in Canada (tariffs were important to farmers who were interested in the bottom line of their farms, and obtaining the goods they needed as cheaply as possible).
		Under Crerar's leadership he pulled together a number of the smaller farmer organizations to form what became known as the Progressive Party in 1920.
		Crerar, who was a traditional politician, finally resigned as leader in 1922 as the Progressives could not accomplish anything.
