Courage

। he message which I
would at tnis time convey to
the Japanese of the second
generation in Canada is a
message which we like to
gather from the life of Him
whose natal day we cele­
brate on December 25. It is
tne lesson of courage in ad­
versity. Those of you who
are not of our faith will ac­

In this year when Japan
celebrates the 2600th anniversary of the founding of
the Japanese Empire', it
gives me sincere pleasure to
send to you and, through
tie medium of your news­
paper, to my fellow Japan­
ese citizens and to the Cana­
dian public, my cordial
greetings and best wishes
or a prosperous and happy
New Year.
I earnestly hope that the
Japanese in Canada, and
particularly their neigh­
bours in British Columbia
will continue to play an im­
portant part in upholding
the traditional goodwill be­
tween the people of Canada
and of Japan.
As a popular terminus of
trans-Pacific shipping lanes
connecting Japan to the
North American continent,
your community is a gate­
way for commercial and cul­
tural intercourse between
the two countries. Let us
hope that in the year that
<es ahead the distance may
be shortened and the gates
opened wider for an in­
creased volume of trade
which will benefit both Can­
ada and Japan.
That Canadian citizens of
Japanese parentage' are be­
coming more active in their
civic life is a healthy sign.
Our laws remain generous
enough for "dual citizens"
to expatriate themselves
from Japanese' citizenship
and become full-fledged
Canadians. Whether living
m the land of their birth or
in Japan the place of the
Nisei is to become a positive
link of understanding and
amity across the Pacific
Ocean.
These thoughts I modest­
ly send with heartiest greet­
ings for the New Year

This unjustly brief sketch
League activity stands as the recordl
for every Nisei to examine, a record I
of progress achieved in 1939. And;
now
1940 beckons,
with still j
greater tasks to be done. To every
Nisei who feels that life has mean­
ing beyond the mere gratification
of the senses, I voice a challenge to I
share in this work, work that asks;
discipline and sacrifice on your part,
but work that must be carried out
if the Nisei and" their children are i
to march closer to their goal.
