JAPANESE PAVILION
NEW YORK.—As a gift of the Japanese people, the Japanese

The shrine-like structure, which is to serve as-a permanent feature
of a park on the fair grounds, wiil long serve as a symbol of the gratitude the Japanese people feel," Wakasugi stated.

the fact that more than 9,000,000 persons, or more than one-third of
the total number visiting the fair, crossed the threshold of the Japanese
Pavilion."

And for the Nisei who subscribe to these tenets, their
right to worship as they choose must be guarded.
It would be an insincere and despicable thing if they
were to prostitute religious belief for the sake of political
ot social emancipation.
It would be a denial of Canadian ideals for Canadian
society to expect them to do so. It would be an act of
treachery to themselves. For there are things of the spirit
infinitely more valuable than temporary economic or politi

And for the Nisei who subscribe to these tenets, their
right to worship as they choose must be guarded.
It would be an insincere and despicable thing if they
were to prostitute religious belief for the sake of political
ot social emancipation.
It would be a denial of Canadian ideals for Canadian
society to expect them to do so. It would be an act of
treachery to themselves. For there are things of the spirit
infinitely more valuable than temporary economic or politi

brightly as possible before handling it on to future generations." That
is the kind of attitude we too should have towards life.
There is in existence today, an organization known as the JCCL I
which is working in the interests of all Niseis. Its ultimate aims repre- j
sent ours. I sincerely believe that it's the duty of every Nisei to give;
his whole-hearted support and co-operation to the League, for it would;
be to his benefit.
In order to attain success, this league as any other organization
needs a firmly united and co-operative Niseis body behind it. Here is?
where the individual can lend his help to the Nisei cause, His support
would mean that the League can keep up the work it has started out
to do.
NISEI AND HIS DESTINY
Our future, our destiny lies right here in Canada. It is our
task by means of integrity, sincerity and loyalt to earn the right
to share equally with the Canadian people. It is our task to
measure up in every way to Canada's expectations and to be a
definite asset to this country of ours.
Naturally, in working towards our ideal, pessimism and discouragement are bound to come our way. Bur we cannot give up, we cannot
possibly give up. Surely we with our youth and our visions can rise;
above such ‘pessimism!
We cannot do this singly. Our strength comes only when each
and every one of us unite to co-operate, standing behind the JCCL. Our
task is truly great but we will succeed. Let us in the words of the poet,
Tennyson, be. "strong in the will to strive, to seek, to find and not to

brightly as possible before handling it on to future generations." That
is the kind of attitude we too should have towards life.
There is in existence today, an organization known as the JCCL I
which is working in the interests of all Niseis. Its ultimate aims repre- j
sent ours. I sincerely believe that it's the duty of every Nisei to give;
his whole-hearted support and co-operation to the League, for it would;
be to his benefit.
In order to attain success, this league as any other organization
needs a firmly united and co-operative Niseis body behind it. Here is?
where the individual can lend his help to the Nisei cause, His support
would mean that the League can keep up the work it has started out
to do.
NISEI AND HIS DESTINY
Our future, our destiny lies right here in Canada. It is our
task by means of integrity, sincerity and loyalt to earn the right
to share equally with the Canadian people. It is our task to
measure up in every way to Canada's expectations and to be a
definite asset to this country of ours.
Naturally, in working towards our ideal, pessimism and discouragement are bound to come our way. Bur we cannot give up, we cannot
possibly give up. Surely we with our youth and our visions can rise;
above such ‘pessimism!
We cannot do this singly. Our strength comes only when each
and every one of us unite to co-operate, standing behind the JCCL. Our
task is truly great but we will succeed. Let us in the words of the poet,
Tennyson, be. "strong in the will to strive, to seek, to find and not to
