A MESSAGE FROM THE LIEUTENANTGOVERNOR OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
His Honour,
The Lieutenant-Governor
of British Columbia,
Eric W. Hamber
I am glad to acquiesce in the sug
gestion that I contribute a brief message
for publication in this special Dominion
Day Edition of "The New Canadian.
To all Canadian-born citizens of Jap
anese origin I would convey this thought.
That the day we celebrate commem
orates the foundation of a Canada united
in every respect—in loyalty, in feeling,
and in ideals; and that it is the con
scious and constant effort of every one
of our citizens to uphold those ideals
and the traditions upon which the British
Empire was founded that will, in the
future, maintain and increase our
strength and our unity.
" I sincerely wish the Canadian - born
Japanese and their antecedents wit in
our borders all happiness and content
ment and I trust that their presence in
our midst will help to maintain and
strengthen the friendly spirit which exists
between the nation of their origin and the
Dominion, to the respective mutual ben
efit of the peoples of both countries.
THE CHALLENGE OF DOMINION DAY
There is a challenge in life to the second
generation Japanese in Canada today, a
challenge everywhere we turn if we but
stop to see it.
Someone has said we are a generation
born to struggle—born in the first terrible

and human prejudice.

to ourselves and fall victims to the des

The Political Future of the Second Generation in Canada
By Cam Omori
P|OMINiOX Day. D!y is a hah’
:
fury mark in British Columbian Jap
anese history. Fifty years lias seen the immigrant, Japanese labourer stnmgle to
comparative success in the economic
life of the province. But what of rim
political lives of the Japanese in ’lie ;
province? Little thought lias been given ;
to this topic, partly because any attempt ।
to presage the future political life of j
Canadians of Japanese descent must
necessarily be highly speculative. At.
best such a. discussion can only be an :
inquiry into some of the various fac
tors which are likely to intluence this
racial group.
Politically speaking, the first genera
tion immigrant Japanese has been so
far a negligible factor in the political
life of the province. Indeed, it is ditiicult
to resist the temptation to qualify such
;i statement, when we are reminded that
the lowly Oriental has however con
tributed much to the platforms of the
old-line political parties of the Province
and Dominion — a fact which bespeaks
neither credit nor honour for either.
The series of restrictive measures which
have characterized British Columbia s
treatment of Japanese was originated
as early as 1895 when members of the
Japanese race were disenfranchised in
B. C. provincial elections. Today there
has grown up a confusing mass of statute
and ease law restricting the Japanese
in the province.
q^HE political situation of the Province
i will also likely continue to influence
the lives of the Nisei. The notorious

for some time to come. But herein lies
m--d im- serious th cm ch:.
‘ac’ that times of elections and political
outbursts against the Oriental, while
more vital issues remained undisturbed,
would seem to suggest that there is a
meed for political education in the prov
ince. This unhappy situation may sub
sist in more or less modified torm as
lone as the second generation are dis
enfranchised in B. C. The lack of this
franchise in British Columbia is per
haps tiie most serious handicap toward
the political awakening of the Nisei
themselves. To a very surprising degree
it would seem that the political future
of the second generation depends upon
the franchise question, for the continued
deprivation of a means of public ex
pression to that group cannot help but
retard the process of Canadianization.
But there is some hope in that there is
a growing body of opinion in Canada
that British Columbia cannot for long
continue to disenfranchise third and
fourth generations of native sons and
daughters merely because of Japanese
descent.
Racial Stereotypes
The Japanese, whether he lie Cana
dian-born or not. wears a duurctue
racial hall-mark. If to the general punlie he cannot become a mere individual
but is a vague reminder that the Orient
is near, then the "yellow peril'’ and
•‘peaceful
penetration" are political
slogans which are by no means head.
[’ is not enough that only’ a ^ew aenmeaning individuals of both occidental
and oriental stock should rise above a
loathsome race prejudice. There must
be a general recognition or resignation
to the fact that the Oriental in the midst
of Canadian society are as Canadians
as others. Probably time only will bring
about this public realization as the pas
sage of time has Americanized in the
public mind, the Negro, the Central
European, and the Jew.
For the present at least the racial
impress on the Nisei has made them
conspicuous enough to figure as scape
goats in times of economic depression.
During the last depression, tor instance,
there were fresh onslaughts on Nisei
, rights in the province. Without a real; ization that piece-meal legislation in re• spouse to one or other types of pressure

'THE outbreak of hostilities in Europe has had unexpected repercus
sions on many phases of general business in Canada. Agriculture
in its many branches has been seriously affected. Wheat, the largest
single item of Canadian farm products, has been steadily declining in
price. Hogs and hog products have also shown a decline although beef,
especially during the last few weeks, has taken a definite rise.
To get closer to home, returns from strawberries have not come
up to expectations. Up until recently the future appeared rosy for the
growers with prospects of a good crop and a fair price. The British
market was prepared to absorb all our processed (sulphur dioxide)
berries at a very attractive rate, which it had been getting from the
Netherlands before the war. To meet this demand, fruit canneries
were outbidding each other for large quantities of the crop.
The surrender of Belgium seemed to mark the turning point in
British business. Despite desperate negotiations, fruit' companies in
B. C. were told that for the time being at least, Britain could not take
this product. In Vancouver prices crumbled.
The manufacturers were offering 4V2C. After days of heart
breaking deliberations, the price was set at 5c. Crated berries for local
consumption as well as for Eastern markets however have shown a
light rise towards the end of the season owing to the natural decline
in volume.
A NOTHER example is the egg business. The market value of eggs
J 1 produced in the Fraser Valley has fluctuated up and down in recent
months, due in main to the unsteady British market. Whenever there
is a constant surplus, unless some legislative machinery is provided,
the price of eggs on the local market is governed by the price on the
world market, depending to some extent on the nature of the article.
The Fraser Valley appears to be in the unhappy position of pro
ducing too many eggs for local use, and yet not quite enough to main
tain a steady, reliable supply for an important market such as Great
Britain. The situation at the moment seems to be that Great Britain
will take all our surplus at their price, provided that ships are available.
The tens of thousands cases of eggs in the stores now apparently must
be sold at less than cost, the stores taking the loss.
In attempting to forsee the future in local agriculture, anyone's
guess is as good as another's as so many factors are involved. Indications
are that refugees in large numbers will most likely be brought into the
country. Then there is the possibility that the British market may be
drastically curtailed from unrestricted submarine warfare. The war
may last two years, perhaps ten. The States may or may not become
actively involved. There is an inevitable tie-up between the future
progress of the war and of agriculture as well as industry in general.
To study the latter one must consider the former as well.
THIS is the way I see it. The Nazis will attempt a complete blockade
1 of Great Britain by sea and by air. It seems to me that an actual
invasion of England itself by Nazi forces is remote, though no doubt
the islands will be severely and incessantly bombed from the air and
shelled from across the Channel. If she can hold out until appreciable
amount of material help from abroad can be got to her, and I believe
she can, that will be another turning point.
Those agricultural products in which we are basically interested—
strawberries and poultry products—have been supplied in the greatest
part by Denmark, Holland, Norway and Poland. All of these sources
of supply have been cut off and we are in a position to take advantage
of the situation.
During this busy period of preparation and construction, agricul
tural as well as all industrial conditions should be materially improved.
WHEN',think of it, I have to admit that I should be 5bl= -something about the Japanese Canadians in the lumber ir

not care to trade my job with one in any other industry, if ro.
wages and good working conditions were all that mattered to a4
”
AS far as I know the "genus Nisei" began entering the lumber i^
in appreciable numbers around the middle twenties which i;
hell of a long time ago. Most of those how in it are just wh^1 n
elders were—unskilled labourers, with a few skilled craftsmen ccart-r
here and there—graders, tallymen, mechanics, etc. The really c
positions are not theirs, partly because they lack proper con-e^
("pull" or "push") and partly because they (the Niseis) have r
been at it long enough.
Wages are fairly good now; although differentials do exist
in many plants. Considering that in the warm coastal regions, ths
mills run 12 months a year, the returns to the men are probably
higher and steadier than in most other large industries.
Such being the case, the Nisei lumber workers are a fairly c^tented lot, merely asking for steady employment at fair waaes.' Many
of the older ones have settled down and have homes and families. Thw
form a part of many of our coast communities and contribute not 3
little to their life, varied or limited as the case may be.
X TANY of the Niseis still live in camps or Japanese boarding house;
principally for the season that other accommodation is not con
venient. They, of course, get along much better with their fellow
workers, than did their elders. They co-operate with them in unions,
benefit schemes, and so forth. In the community they join in athletics,
celebrations and charity drives.
Much remains to be done towards bringing the races closer
together, but, at least, it cannot now be said that the Niseis send
all their money out of the country and contribute nothing to the
welfare of the community in which they live.
The Niseis have their own groups, or those of their elders. They
are doing excellent work in improving relations between the races, by
helping the public schools, participating with other organizations on
patriotic occasions, contributing to charity, and so on. And yet, at the
same time, much of their energy is wasted in ineffectual and unneces
sary projects, embarked upon for more or less sentimental considerstions, rather than common-sense.
RAKING a dispassionate view of the Niseis', place in lumbering, one
cannot see how the small percentage they represent of the total
number of workers could contribute much to the industry itself.
Labourers are everywhere—always a quantitative factor. But neverthe
less a very real and vital factor in the development of a Canadian
nation, and it is not too much to say that the Niseis are helping to
build a new and more settled country out of the wilderness—giving of
their brawn, brains, and character in the necessary pioneering work or
turning lumber camps of today into the towns and cities of tomorrow.
Let it be noted that after this war, there will be an economic reshuffling
—an economic revolution, if you will. And once the tide has turned
in our favour, then there should be no doubt of better market condi
tions.

drastically curtailed from unrestricted submarine warfare. The war
may last two years, perhaps ten. The States may or may not become
actively involved. There is an inevitable tie-up between the future
progress of the war and of agriculture as well as industry in general.
To study the latter one must consider the former as well.
THIS is the way I see it. The Nazis will attempt a complete blockade
1 of Great Britain by sea and by air. It seems to me that an actual
invasion of England itself by Nazi forces is remote, though no doubt
the islands will be severely and incessantly bombed from the air and
shelled from across the Channel. If she can hold out until appreciable
amount of material help from abroad can be got to her, and I believe
she can, that will be another turning point.
Those agricultural products in which we are basically interested—
strawberries and poultry products—have been supplied in the greatest
part by Denmark, Holland, Norway and Poland. All of these sources
of supply have been cut off and we are in a position to take advantage
of the situation.
During this busy period of preparation and construction, agricul
tural as well as all industrial conditions should be materially improved.
WHEN',think of it, I have to admit that I should be 5bl= -something about the Japanese Canadians in the lumber ir

”
AS far as I know the "genus Nisei" began entering the lumber i^
in appreciable numbers around the middle twenties which i;
hell of a long time ago. Most of those how in it are just wh^1 n
elders were—unskilled labourers, with a few skilled craftsmen ccart-r
here and there—graders, tallymen, mechanics, etc. The really c
positions are not theirs, partly because they lack proper con-e^
("pull" or "push") and partly because they (the Niseis) have r
been at it long enough.
Wages are fairly good now; although differentials do exist
in many plants. Considering that in the warm coastal regions, ths
mills run 12 months a year, the returns to the men are probably
higher and steadier than in most other large industries.
Such being the case, the Nisei lumber workers are a fairly c^tented lot, merely asking for steady employment at fair waaes.' Many
of the older ones have settled down and have homes and families. Thw
form a part of many of our coast communities and contribute not 3
little to their life, varied or limited as the case may be.
X TANY of the Niseis still live in camps or Japanese boarding house;
principally for the season that other accommodation is not con
venient. They, of course, get along much better with their fellow
workers, than did their elders. They co-operate with them in unions,
benefit schemes, and so forth. In the community they join in athletics,
celebrations and charity drives.
Much remains to be done towards bringing the races closer
together, but, at least, it cannot now be said that the Niseis send
all their money out of the country and contribute nothing to the
welfare of the community in which they live.
The Niseis have their own groups, or those of their elders. They
are doing excellent work in improving relations between the races, by
helping the public schools, participating with other organizations on
patriotic occasions, contributing to charity, and so on. And yet, at the
same time, much of their energy is wasted in ineffectual and unneces
sary projects, embarked upon for more or less sentimental considerstions, rather than common-sense.
RAKING a dispassionate view of the Niseis', place in lumbering, one
cannot see how the small percentage they represent of the total
number of workers could contribute much to the industry itself.
Labourers are everywhere—always a quantitative factor. But neverthe
less a very real and vital factor in the development of a Canadian
nation, and it is not too much to say that the Niseis are helping to
build a new and more settled country out of the wilderness—giving of
their brawn, brains, and character in the necessary pioneering work or
turning lumber camps of today into the towns and cities of tomorrow.
Let it be noted that after this war, there will be an economic reshuffling
—an economic revolution, if you will. And once the tide has turned
in our favour, then there should be no doubt of better market condi
tions.

HIYO slammed the kitchen door with a
vengeance and began knocking the
pots and pans about. As she poured hot
water over the pile of dishes in the sink,
hei eyes filled with tears of disappointment.
It wasn't that she had been unreasonable
either, she thought to herself. She had
asked Mrs. Blackston for this evening off
six days ago—no, six and a half days, to
be exact—and she had said Chiyo could go
off. She wouldn't have minded much if
she hadn't asked beforehand but . . . She
brushed the tears from her eyes, and
glanced at the clock. 8:30 p.m.! She'd
never get through before 10:30 and then
it would be too late.
"Damn!" she exploded, as a thin water
glass crumpled in her hand, She hated
housework! She hated dishes! She hated
everything!
Mrs. Blackston had said to her quite
casually after lunch, TChiyo, we're having
eight for dinner. I know I promised you
this evening off, but you can go off to
morrow as soon as lunch dishes are done."
With that, she had gone on to plan the
menu. "And let's have your delicious cocoa
roll with whipped cream!" And she went
away.

Chiyo hadn't answered, "You can go
off tomorrow, just as soon as lunch dishes
are done." Resentment welled up within
her. She dangled "tomorrow" before Chiyo
as if she were coaxing some small child.
Chiyo didn't want tomorrow off. She
wanted tonight!
And it wasn't just tonight. She remem
bered other-evenings—three evenings every
week—when she had to stay with the
children. "Davy just loves you!" Chiyo
loved children and had fallen for the line,
and now, whenever they got in Mrs. Blackston's way, it was, "Go in the kitchen and
help Chiyo, darlings!"—and the darlings
never failed to invade the kitchen to add
an extra egg into the pudding, or fall into
the flour bin, or scatter pots and pans all
over the floor. And at night, she had to
play nursemaid while "she" went out. Often
Chiyo wondered whose children they were,
hers or Mrs. Blackston's.

THE more Chiyo thought of it, the more
1 the disappointment rankled. She had
been here a year now— two years since
she graduated from high school. Marcia
and she had wanted to become stenograph

tne way to town. Marcia was working in
a candy store. Marcia had asked her what
she was doing, and she had appeared so
sorry for her when she blurted out, "bottle

washer." Chiyo had laughed to cover up
her mortification, but she remembered that
she hadn't been very convincing.
At least Marcia could call her life her
own. Perhaps, financially, she was better
off than Marcia, who stood behind a candy
counter and got $15 a month. But, at least
she could count the time after 5:30 her
own. She didn't have to ask beforehand
for every evening she wanted off; she
didn't have to be at the beck and call of
fretful children and demanding mistresses
ten to eleven hours a day; she didn't have
to cram a whole week's leisure in one
Thursday afternoon; she didn't havq to wait
two whole weeks to crowd in everything
in one glorious afternoon. No, Marcia was
a working girl and Chiyo was a maid. And
somehow, even Thursday and Sunday lost
their glamour for it meant she had to come
back to a sink full of dirty dishes and pans
which Mrs. Blackston was too lazy to wash.
No, it wasn't the housework which both
ered her. At times it could be fun. It was
the superficial attitude of the employer;
the long, indefinite hours; the social stigma
attached to those who do the dirty work in
another woman's home.
Suddenly, "Chiyo! Chiyo!" came a wide
awake voice from upstairs. Chiyo called
up: "Go to sleep, Davy, or Chiyo spank!"
Then there was a long silence. Chiyo
sighed with relief. The child must have
been dreaming.
She continued with the pile of silver
ware at the sink. Then: "Chiyo, Davy
hungry. Davy want piece of pie!"
"No, Davy!"
"Yes, Chiyo ..." and running to her
in his sleepers, his head tousled, he put his
two chubby arms around Chiyo's neck, and
whispered, "Please."
"Just a tiny piece, Davy," said Chiyo,
"and now off to bed before mummy comes!"

HIYO slammed the kitchen door with a
vengeance and began knocking the
pots and pans about. As she poured hot
water over the pile of dishes in the sink,
hei eyes filled with tears of disappointment.
It wasn't that she had been unreasonable
either, she thought to herself. She had
asked Mrs. Blackston for this evening off
six days ago—no, six and a half days, to
be exact—and she had said Chiyo could go
off. She wouldn't have minded much if
she hadn't asked beforehand but . . . She
brushed the tears from her eyes, and
glanced at the clock. 8:30 p.m.! She'd
never get through before 10:30 and then
it would be too late.
"Damn!" she exploded, as a thin water
glass crumpled in her hand, She hated
housework! She hated dishes! She hated
everything!
Mrs. Blackston had said to her quite
casually after lunch, TChiyo, we're having
eight for dinner. I know I promised you
this evening off, but you can go off to
morrow as soon as lunch dishes are done."
With that, she had gone on to plan the
menu. "And let's have your delicious cocoa
roll with whipped cream!" And she went
away.

Chiyo hadn't answered, "You can go
off tomorrow, just as soon as lunch dishes
are done." Resentment welled up within
her. She dangled "tomorrow" before Chiyo
as if she were coaxing some small child.
Chiyo didn't want tomorrow off. She
wanted tonight!
And it wasn't just tonight. She remem
bered other-evenings—three evenings every
week—when she had to stay with the
children. "Davy just loves you!" Chiyo
loved children and had fallen for the line,
and now, whenever they got in Mrs. Blackston's way, it was, "Go in the kitchen and
help Chiyo, darlings!"—and the darlings
never failed to invade the kitchen to add
an extra egg into the pudding, or fall into
the flour bin, or scatter pots and pans all
over the floor. And at night, she had to
play nursemaid while "she" went out. Often
Chiyo wondered whose children they were,
hers or Mrs. Blackston's.

THE more Chiyo thought of it, the more
1 the disappointment rankled. She had
been here a year now— two years since
she graduated from high school. Marcia
and she had wanted to become stenograph
ers. She had met Marcia last Thursday on
tne way to town. Marcia was working in
a candy store. Marcia had asked her what
she was doing, and she had appeared so
sorry for her when she blurted out, "bottle

washer." Chiyo had laughed to cover up
her mortification, but she remembered that
she hadn't been very convincing.
At least Marcia could call her life her
own. Perhaps, financially, she was better
off than Marcia, who stood behind a candy
counter and got $15 a month. But, at least
she could count the time after 5:30 her
own. She didn't have to ask beforehand
for every evening she wanted off; she
didn't have to be at the beck and call of
fretful children and demanding mistresses
ten to eleven hours a day; she didn't have
to cram a whole week's leisure in one
Thursday afternoon; she didn't havq to wait
two whole weeks to crowd in everything
in one glorious afternoon. No, Marcia was
a working girl and Chiyo was a maid. And
somehow, even Thursday and Sunday lost
their glamour for it meant she had to come
back to a sink full of dirty dishes and pans
which Mrs. Blackston was too lazy to wash.
No, it wasn't the housework which both
ered her. At times it could be fun. It was
the superficial attitude of the employer;
the long, indefinite hours; the social stigma
attached to those who do the dirty work in
another woman's home.
Suddenly, "Chiyo! Chiyo!" came a wide
awake voice from upstairs. Chiyo called
up: "Go to sleep, Davy, or Chiyo spank!"
Then there was a long silence. Chiyo
sighed with relief. The child must have
been dreaming.
She continued with the pile of silver
ware at the sink. Then: "Chiyo, Davy
hungry. Davy want piece of pie!"
"No, Davy!"
"Yes, Chiyo ..." and running to her
in his sleepers, his head tousled, he put his
two chubby arms around Chiyo's neck, and
whispered, "Please."
"Just a tiny piece, Davy," said Chiyo,
"and now off to bed before mummy comes!"

work. When she had first started,

and then I know that she ain t the right

Oh, she ain't a bad girl, no, in fact she
is quite nice and she's quite a looker. She
is just about the right height, her anatomy
is regular and curves in the right places,
her skin is clear and looks real soft, her hair
is long and wavy, her nose is pert and cute,

I know that Shu is not in. His mother an

maybe it was not, but I tell myself that I

there is anything that Shu dislikes it is

Shu is not pleased to see me and I do not
blame him, so I gets up and goes away.

It worked and how! Shu's mother si’ll

Shu's. Yep, she said, "I absolutely forbid"

Shu sort of moped around for a couple a I

it quick. Then he said that he had told
Yvonne that me, Ichy, was going to take
her. I was surprised but he asked me sc

okay.
So I am taking Yvonne to the dance be
cause I am Shu's best friend. And because
I am Shu's best friend I shall take Yvonne
to all the dances and make her my girl.
Then Shu will be safe from Yvonne, whois
just the right height and curvy in the right
places, with long wavy hair, a cute pert nose
and with deep bottomless brown lakes for
eyes. Shu will be safe because he is too much
of a gentleman to muscle in on his best
friend's girl. I am sure that Shu will be grate
ful he has a real friend like me.

shakes his head and says "no" because he
wants to be alone with the dame at a show
and furthermore there is Steinbeck's "Grapes
of Wrath" to see. Shu has already read two
of Steinbeck's books and explained the so
cial significance to me. So I says so long to
Yvonne and note that her desire to see Arnheim is written all over her pretty face, and
she doesn't give a hoot for the "Significant
Grapes." But I go merrily on my way 'cause
I know Shu has one strike against him now
and I go to the Lux because I saw Arnheim
the night before.

For Canadians
How many Canadians will realize on July 1. the
birthday of our nation, that some thousands of Canadians
of Japanese origin form an integral, if not a conspicuous
part in our Canadian mosaic? Will the apparent differences
in the racial and cultural background of these people still
brand them today as unwanted aliens?
From the point of view of the Japanese Canadians,
this Dominion Day should be a reminder that citizenship
is something more than Canadian birth or adoption, or
even the simple acquisition of Canadian customs. For if
citizenship connotes an equality of rights and responsibil
ities, the role of the second generation at this time of na
tional crisis must be an active and not a passive one. The
supreme test of citizenship is in the making today.
For Canadians in general—it would be awkward to
say Canadians who are not disqualified on account of race
to be registered on the provincial voters’ list under an amend
ment of 1895 to the B. C. Provincial Elections Act—it is
a good time to take stock of this Canada today. They
should, at the same time, give some serious thought to the
plight of new Canadians of Japanese (and Chinese and
East Indian) race. Xvhom neither reason, nor justice, nor
political expediency can for long refuse to embrace in a full
citizenship.
What of Conscription
A month ago a staff writer of The New Canadian
forecast the introduction of conscription into Canada within
a very short time, and raised the question of how the sec
ond generation would be affected.
Now that legislation authorizing the introduction of
conscription measures has been enacted by Parliament, the
question becomes one of vital interest to all of us.
In the last war, it will be remembered that Japanese
Canadians faced considerable difficulty in attempting to
serve the country of their adoption. Although a volunteer
corps was raised, equipped and trained at the expense of
Japanese in British Columbia, it. was not accepted in this
province. Only after long delay and negotiation were the
volunteers permitted to travel to Alberta where they, en
listed with several battalions in the Canadian Expeditionary
Force.
As Canadian citizens, the second generation of course
fall within the scope of the conscription legislation, and are
liable for military service as much as every other Canadian
citizen. And there can be no doubt concerning their wil
lingness to serve nor their ability to do so. when the occas
ion demands,
But if the Nisei are to be conscripted and asked to
shoulder these responsibilities of citizenship, no one can
deny his right to demand equal, just and courteous con
sideration in any draft measures which are enforced. Prop
erly, fairly and honestly treated, the second generation can
give to their country as much as any other citizen. Treated
otherwise, their contribution cannot but suffer.

Confederation
A Message from T. G. Norris
By T. G. Norris, K.C. (Honorary Member, JCCL)
N July 1st we celebrate the birthday of our Dominion, the unZ
of Provinces in one confederation for the common good. | ^5
that it is well for me at this time to draw attention to the fact tA
it was not for the welfare of Canada alone that the union was bre^;
about. That which the Fathers of Confederation had in their mE
was, as Sir John A. MacDonald said at the time of the Charlottet^
conference, "Under a vigorous general government that we should r?
be New Brunswickians, nor Nova Scotians, nor Canadians, but Brito
Americans under the sway of the British Sovereign." And ThoE
D'Arcy McGee, the great patriot whose courage in adversity afford
such an example, especially for the Canadians of Japanese origin, sac
"In our relationships one Province with the other and with the IL
minions, we will so conduct ourselves that mutual confidence a-;
respect will follow and a feeling of being engaged in a common cau«
for the good of a common nationality will grow up of itself, wither
being forced by any man's especial advocacy.
It will be seen, therefore, that these two great men stressed thbroader aspect of our Confederation, its position as part of the Brito
Empire. Especially in these trying times should we value our posits
as part of the Empire, and do our utmost to preserve that union c
free peoples as the great power which alone in Europe is holding aict
the light of Democracy. What an answer has been given in the las
few weeks to those who have played up the other view—the idea tha
we in Canada can be isolationists, that we can be entirely self-suf
ficient, that we can defend ourselves without the assistance of ^
people'of Britain and the people of the other Dominions of the Empire-
O
THE pioneers of Canada came to this country' finding it as a wilder-;
ness. They toiled industriously and thriftily, and I am sure that;
often they asked themselves, "Why?" I am quite sure that the majority;
of them at the end of their lives were disappointed. Today, after theyj
have gone, we see the results of their initial efforts in the development;
around us'. A lifetime is a very short span in eternity. If we stop to
think we often wonder why we toil, and what the end ot it all is iOe.
It seems to us that we are almost like squirrels running around an;
around in a cage, and getting nowhere. While we live, the good which;
we have accomplished is, more often than hot, unnoticed. When we I
die it is soon forgotten, and the impression which we have left on the!
w.orld seems negligible.
tttE must,
however, consider our efforts in the larger way. We mun
” think of ourselves and our work just as I have referred to the
unity which must exist between the people of Canada, between the
Provinces, and between the Dominions in the Empire, as merely party
—small though they may'b^—of a complete machine which is accomq
plishing and can accomplish a useful purpose in world affairs. It is not;
for us with our traditions to be defeatist, and the courage which you
have shown in this country demonstrates clearly that you do not know
the meaning of that word. The opportunities of useful serv.ee to ah
of us are not equal, but no matter what our place is, no matter wnat
discouragement we meet, we must in all our endeavours work thrirtuy
and industriously to the end—without misgiving, without looking A,
but each with high purpose and a stern resolve to contribute his or hu
part—however slight it may be in the scheme of things to e
ment of our people of all races, to the betterment of our country, ana
to the betterment of the world.
AY I add a final thought in conclusion. That which we fight
today is the freedom which has been obtained for us by w
progress throughout the centuries. When one considers the sadp
of so many of the peoples of Europe, one realizes how necessa y ■
for us to preserve that freedom at all costs. Without loyalty that «
be no real freedom—and by loyalty I mean loyalty m its l»‘

irst business trip to Japan that he picked
was on "Mustachios
-*■ up Shin.
Shin was fifteen, barefoot, scrawny—but bright. Very bright.
Shin had been scraping a living from the streets of Nagasaki—a
"kozo." He was glad to put his rough hands into the smooth hands
of this strangely-trousered gentleman and to turn his eyes and his
feet towards'this new land. The only trouble with Shin was his
aversion to labour—manual labour.' He was smart enough to wriggle
out of any unpleasant job. And he had a head for figures.
Thereupon he was entrusted with the curio shop, which Mus
tachios" had started, and which was practically on the rocks anyway
My! My! What he didn't do to that store! Business picked up, dusted
itself and made a bee-line for the money-bags. "Mustachios was
gratified. His sombre eyes twinkled.
, । n
"Humph! Kinda smart, aren't you? Like this sort of work, huh.
Adding, substracting, adding and more adding. Don't make sense to
me. You never gamble. You're only a merchant. I got other things
to do."
he gave the store to Shin. Told him to go ahead. Sink or swim.
On his own. Thereupon, Shin worked harder than he ever worked
in his life. A young fellow, with nothing but what was given him, and
his own talent and initiative. Sometimes profits sank dishearteningly.
Shipments were lost or delayed, were spoiled. The books rarely bal
anced; but his initial success had put ambition in him, so he carried
on the struggle.
, , , , .
„
He added profits, subtracted losses. He headed for bigger things.
He branched out. He hired clerks. He travelled. He saved. He spent.
He wrangled. Bargained. Gave and take across the counter, over the
hot cup of tea, over tall glasses of sparkling drinks. Perseverance,
patience, fortitude, abstinence.
Then there he was, atop a solid foundation of good business,
blossomed,” put forth branches and sired a family to inherit his name
and fortune. Honours came his way. Deservedly_ He became a wellknown figure in business, politics, philanthropy. Before he sailed away
for the last time to the old land to retire on his laurels, he made one
last pilgrimage.

Shin was fifteen, barefoot, scrawny—but bright. Very bright.
Shin had been scraping a living from the streets of Nagasaki—a
"kozo." He was glad to put his rough hands into the smooth hands
of this strangely-trousered gentleman and to turn his eyes and his
feet towards'this new land. The only trouble with Shin was his
aversion to labour—manual labour.' He was smart enough to wriggle
out of any unpleasant job. And he had a head for figures.
Thereupon he was entrusted with the curio shop, which Mus
tachios" had started, and which was practically on the rocks anyway
My! My! What he didn't do to that store! Business picked up, dusted
itself and made a bee-line for the money-bags. "Mustachios was

"Humph! Kinda smart, aren't you? Like this sort of work, huh.
Adding, substracting, adding and more adding. Don't make sense to
me. You never gamble. You're only a merchant. I got other things
to do."
he gave the store to Shin. Told him to go ahead. Sink or swim.
On his own. Thereupon, Shin worked harder than he ever worked
in his life. A young fellow, with nothing but what was given him, and
his own talent and initiative. Sometimes profits sank dishearteningly.
Shipments were lost or delayed, were spoiled. The books rarely bal
anced; but his initial success had put ambition in him, so he carried
on the struggle.
, , , , .
„
He added profits, subtracted losses. He headed for bigger things.
He branched out. He hired clerks. He travelled. He saved. He spent.
He wrangled. Bargained. Gave and take across the counter, over the
hot cup of tea, over tall glasses of sparkling drinks. Perseverance,
patience, fortitude, abstinence.
Then there he was, atop a solid foundation of good business,
blossomed,” put forth branches and sired a family to inherit his name
and fortune. Honours came his way. Deservedly_ He became a wellknown figure in business, politics, philanthropy. Before he sailed away
for the last time to the old land to retire on his laurels, he made one
last pilgrimage.

OWEVER, although racially similar, they were divided into^ two
different "groups"—the Ohbu-Kai and Jikyo-Kai. This "line
of demarkation," as it were, tended to stir up keen rivalry, and
; scenes of violence were frequent. As a step towards enforcing oraer
amongst the men, a compromise was sought between the two ''camps.
‘ Finally in 1920, the necessity of organizing was so keenly felt that
the two groups merged together.
*
Thus was born the Ocean Falls Jichi-Kai Association. Although
plagued at various times by some extreme elements, the Association
nevertheless managed to function. Those years of effort, are now
s represented by a very well organized body.
The Jichi-Kai Association of today contributes considerably to

worthy is the friendly co-operation they extend to Occidentals in any

Birth of Association
OWEVER, although racially similar, they were divided into^ two
different "groups"—the Ohbu-Kai and Jikyo-Kai. This "line
of demarkation," as it were, tended to stir up keen rivalry, and
; scenes of violence were frequent. As a step towards enforcing oraer
amongst the men, a compromise was sought between the two ''camps.
‘ Finally in 1920, the necessity of organizing was so keenly felt that
the two groups merged together.
*
Thus was born the Ocean Falls Jichi-Kai Association. Although
plagued at various times by some extreme elements, the Association
nevertheless managed to function. Those years of effort, are now
s represented by a very well organized body.
The Jichi-Kai Association of today contributes considerably to
, the welfare and progress of Ocean Falls as a whole. Especially note
worthy is the friendly co-operation they extend to Occidentals in any
community undertaking that may arise.
L i
^e ^u^ure always see the maintenance of such friendly
'
relations.

A development of the body, it has a similar effect
on the enlarging of the person's mentality. If the case

a sorry athlete. I am sure, each and everyone of us

proves so helpful in later life.
That's why I think there should be a more Orgariized body controlling the various sports. As is the'
case now, basketball is controlled by one man, Mi
Akiyama. If he should suddenly be compelled to
give up his good work, basketball would more than
likely fold up. It really would be disastrous if it did,
for basketball has become so popular that—well it
just can't fold up.
UT my private pet peeve is the way the average
Nisei lass takes part in the sporting field. Re
grettable is the lack of enthusiasm shown by
"Femmes in sport" . . . After all men and women
come from the same parent stock . . . what is good
for one is good for the other.
That girls can participate in sports nowadays is
a proven fact, but can you tell me what percentage
of modern Nisei girls actually do take part? I m
sure that you'll agree with me that only a very few
do. The majority of them would rather sit around
a tea table with their bunch and gossip, the typical
women's way, than to get outdoors and let loose
that pent-up energy through games.
Here's a good example. Last winter a call went
out for a girls' basketball loop. Remember the kind
of response the league received? It was just too, too
disgusting. Only a handful stuck it out Jill the end
of the season. Many of them would have liked to
play, but were either too backward or just too lazy.
B
mHERE must be many enthusiastic feminine ex-'
-L ponents of games, and if they would only let
themselves go and get into the games, we could have
girl athletes to be proud of. Then perhaps, in a few
years, we could have an active girls' league in many
kinds of sports. Several studies have shown that the
second generation in Canada are taller and heavier,
better physical specimens than their parents were.
I fhink sports have had a lot to do with it, and I'm
all for seeing more Tarzans or Amazons among the
Niseis. I always did prefer statuesque brunettes to
the usual built-to-the-ground models we see so
much of.
