Agree to Disagree
Why should Canada and Japan cultivate friendship?
Should we cultivate friendship merely because we live
near each other and are neighbours on the Pacific? Perhaps.
Should we be friends because we can trade, or because it
would be interesting, or because the Nisei would be better

two nations ought to cultivate an understanding so that
they might appreciate each other's problems. Then they

But looking at them, a thought
for the Nisei rises in one’s mind.
The rough and jagged edges of these
hills have been worn smooth; wind
and rain have moulded them into
gentle, civilized contours; one might
think that fierce rains and wind
storms would level them to nothing.
Suddenly the train ploughs through
a tunnel in the middle of these hills,

Editor: The New Canadian—
Dear Sir: Allow me to congratu
late you for the splendid Dominion Day issue. The many in
novations therein were demon
strative of the ingenuities and
resourcefulness of Nisei journalists of whom we are proud.
I was especially pleased with
the number of fictional articles
which appeared in the said issue.
In particular, the story by
“Kaye,” under the caption—“The
Parting of the Way”—was truly
so pathetic that its very pathos
touched me deeply and made me
realize the significance of the
theme.
That it was in comformity with
one of the recommendations
submitted at the plenary session
of the last JCCL National Con
vention, was a source of much
gratification on my part. As a
reminder the said recommenda
tion was— “ . . . that the pro
gram of education in writing be
extended so that the Nisei might
most effectively present their
case to the Canadian public by
means of the written word,” to
quote your paper dated Nov. 17.
1939.
I believe that the art of writ
ing—factual
and
fictionalshould be so cultivated that the
Nisei can successfully eradicate
—or at least combat—those
sentiments prejudicial to their
interests and welfare.
I beg your pardon for my
presumption but may I suggest
that either The New Canadian
or the JCCL National Executive
conduct a short story contest
with attractive prizes to ascer
tain Nisei talent and to cultivate
the art of writing, as recommend
ed above. I am of the belief
that many Niseis have definiteideas cloistered in the shrines of

Agree to Disagree
Why should Canada and Japan cultivate friendship?
Should we cultivate friendship merely because we live
near each other and are neighbours on the Pacific? Perhaps.
Should we be friends because we can trade, or because it
would be interesting, or because the Nisei would be better
off? Not necessarily.
Fundamentally, the answer seems to be that the
two nations ought to cultivate an understanding so that
they might appreciate each other's problems. Then they
