"Shikata-ga-naT
... In the dim days of my 'teens.
I used to fight against that resigna
tion too often expressed by the Issei
. . . (or so I thought) . . . “Shikataga-nai," which, roughly translated,
means: It can't be helped. Everytime
that one came to an apparent dead
end, a blind allcv, an insurmountable obstacle, out came the inevitable “shikata-ga-nai." Frankly it
had me raging.
In my young ardour for leaping
hurdles, thoughtlessly I scorned that
blank acceptance. I remember yelling:
"Can’t be helped nothing! Let s
DO something!"
Then mother's glance would flick
over me:
“You will grow with the years."
. . Now the years have come
and gone, and I begin to have a
faint foretaste of future wisdom.
The years that were so long in com
ing when I was younger, have
lengthened their pace, and leave me
bewildered at the speed of the mileposts flashing by.
It seems to me now. that Mother
and I looked from different heights
at the same thing. Mother accepted
the obstacle as such: to her the ob
stacle was real. It was there and that
could not be helped. She would back
up a bit and take another rack around
it. It never defeated her. In my brash
youth. I did not know.

Volunteers Needed
Almost proverbial today is the saying that the great
ness of a democratic country depends upon the number
of its citizens who will fulfill self-imposed responsibilities.
In these times Canadians have unlimited opportunities to
test their own character; and not the least of these is the
' forthcoming programme of National Registration under
which thousands of voluntary workers will be needed to
check, tabulate and classify every individual in Canada
over the age of sixteen.
The Japanese community, too, has been invited to
supply its quota of volunteer 'workers, and community
organizations have promised the fullest possible co-opera
tion in this programme of registering eight million Cana
dians.
I
I
j.
i
i
But such co-operation depends not upon the
promises or good wishes of leaders. It depends upon
you and you and you—upon your willingness to im
pose responsibilities upon yourself and to fulfill
them.
The Canadian Japanese Association and the Japan
ese Canadian Citizens League in Vancouver have issued
an appeal to you to assist in the programme. Will you
write or telephone right now with your offer to pitch in
and help?
To me. then, obstacles did not
exist, or they could be ignored. Walis
were never there to block my path.
Thus it was only by much bruising
and bumping of beads that I realized
the hindrance for what it really was.
Slowly, slowly, it dawned on me
that I could not smash my way
through. I must use my wits, wither
to remove it. get over or around it.
I remember a story read but recently:
earthquake and tidal wave in some
seashore town in Japan . . . Houses
of flimsy paper sucked awfully into
the maw of the sea . . . the spewing
of wreckage and lifeless bodies . . .
A woman holding her small son by
the hand, both tearless, quiescent,
looking down at the shattered pieces
of their home, accepting nature:
“Shikata-ga-nai, but we shall
build here again,"
Such indomitable courage thrills
one to the very marrow. How proud
is one co belong to the race that
breeds this boundless, unshakeable
spirit I Disasters cannot be helped.
but there is always tomorrow.
. . . Truly one Ic’arns, but how
slow the process^
Innocent Bystanders
No one will receive' the news of the arrest of Britishers in Japan on espionage charges with deeper sorrow
than Japanese Canadians. Whatever the facts of the case
and we make no attempt to pass judgment thereupon at
this time—they are sure to be misinterpreted, straining
Anglo-Japanese relations still further and engendering
a feeling of resentment on the part of Canadians against
Japanese in British Columbia.
It is not difficult to imagine the hue and cry that will
be raised here at home, demanding that more severe
restrictions or even oppressive measures be taken against
Japanese here in retaliation. Such an experience would
be no new thing: time and again public opinion, aroused
over Far Eastern events, has been directed against Cana
dians of Japanese origin, no matter how innocent they
may be.
But at such a time it is not amiss once again to stress
that Japanese Canadians cannot logically or justly be held
responsible for international events. Nor is it inoppor
tune to remind the Canadian public that even assuming
that Japanese authorities have committed a grievous
wrong, such a misdeed surely cannot be rectified by the
oerpetration of another wrong here in Canada.

questions, whether they be of trade, of immigration,
national politics, is the task which Canada and Japan a C0!l®o:
with all other nations of the Pacific must work out in peace, xk
only is this the supreme test of friendship but perhaps the oT?
satisfactory way to a respectable international life around
across the bounds of the Pacific. As one authority on PaciA
problems has stated, there is unquestionably a need for a “pek
sistent will to peace, whose symptoms lie in a steady avoidant
of politics either offensive in form or wantonly injurious r
content."
New Order and Understanding
Needless to say. such avoidance of offensive and injurious
policies must be the studied practice of all parties concerned, for
friendship in international life as friendship in individual life is
not a private but a mutual attitude. So out of half a century of
more or less haphazard relations between Canada and Japan ther
must now be a new appreciation of each other’s position and policy.
Out of the ashes of the two-year-old war in China must come new
order, and a new understanding conducive to good neighbour rela
tions in the Pacific area.
It would probably not be an unduly alarmist exaggeration of
our problems to say that the crisis in our present generation is
uocn us. This surely is no time for naive outimisin or unreasoned
idealism. To prevent the spread of general welfare into Pacific
is the immediate task of our generation, and in the event of our
failure, the descendants of the peoples of the Pacific area will
rake the consequences.
In a sense, the most intolerant of the European races now
faces the proudest of the Oriental' races. If in the past, prob
lems between such divergent groups were settled only by
bloodshed and submission, and if history should repeat itself,
we shall want to feel that both countries strove sincerely to
be good friends and good neighbours.
In cultivating that goodwill, perhaps we ought not to over
estimate our difficulties and differences, not because they do not
exist—but because we ought to have greater faith in the ability
of men and women to work together in the comparatively new
and war-free atmosphere of the Pacific area, when the certain
alternative is the death and destruction that has harassed Europe
throughout the centuries.

There was one thing which

Kiyoshi attended the Alexander

"Shikata-ga-naT
... In the dim days of my 'teens.
I used to fight against that resigna
tion too often expressed by the Issei
. . . (or so I thought) . . . “Shikataga-nai," which, roughly translated,
means: It can't be helped. Everytime
that one came to an apparent dead
end, a blind allcv, an insurmountable obstacle, out came the inevitable “shikata-ga-nai." Frankly it
had me raging.
In my young ardour for leaping
hurdles, thoughtlessly I scorned that
blank acceptance. I remember yelling:
"Can’t be helped nothing! Let s
DO something!"
Then mother's glance would flick
over me:
“You will grow with the years."
. . Now the years have come
and gone, and I begin to have a
faint foretaste of future wisdom.
The years that were so long in com
ing when I was younger, have
lengthened their pace, and leave me
bewildered at the speed of the mileposts flashing by.
It seems to me now. that Mother
and I looked from different heights
at the same thing. Mother accepted
the obstacle as such: to her the ob
stacle was real. It was there and that
could not be helped. She would back
up a bit and take another rack around
it. It never defeated her. In my brash
youth. I did not know.

Volunteers Needed
Almost proverbial today is the saying that the great
ness of a democratic country depends upon the number
of its citizens who will fulfill self-imposed responsibilities.
In these times Canadians have unlimited opportunities to
test their own character; and not the least of these is the
' forthcoming programme of National Registration under
which thousands of voluntary workers will be needed to
check, tabulate and classify every individual in Canada
over the age of sixteen.
The Japanese community, too, has been invited to
supply its quota of volunteer 'workers, and community
organizations have promised the fullest possible co-opera
tion in this programme of registering eight million Cana
dians.
I
I
j.

i
But such co-operation depends not upon the
promises or good wishes of leaders. It depends upon
you and you and you—upon your willingness to im
pose responsibilities upon yourself and to fulfill
them.
The Canadian Japanese Association and the Japan
ese Canadian Citizens League in Vancouver have issued
an appeal to you to assist in the programme. Will you
write or telephone right now with your offer to pitch in
and help?
To me. then, obstacles did not
exist, or they could be ignored. Walis
were never there to block my path.
Thus it was only by much bruising
and bumping of beads that I realized
the hindrance for what it really was.
Slowly, slowly, it dawned on me
that I could not smash my way
through. I must use my wits, wither
to remove it. get over or around it.
I remember a story read but recently:
earthquake and tidal wave in some
seashore town in Japan . . . Houses
of flimsy paper sucked awfully into
the maw of the sea . . . the spewing
of wreckage and lifeless bodies . . .
A woman holding her small son by
the hand, both tearless, quiescent,
looking down at the shattered pieces
of their home, accepting nature:
“Shikata-ga-nai, but we shall
build here again,"
Such indomitable courage thrills
one to the very marrow. How proud

breeds this boundless, unshakeable

but there is always tomorrow.
. . . Truly one Ic’arns, but how
slow the process^
Innocent Bystanders
No one will receive' the news of the arrest of Britishers in Japan on espionage charges with deeper sorrow
than Japanese Canadians. Whatever the facts of the case
and we make no attempt to pass judgment thereupon at
this time—they are sure to be misinterpreted, straining
Anglo-Japanese relations still further and engendering
a feeling of resentment on the part of Canadians against
Japanese in British Columbia.
It is not difficult to imagine the hue and cry that will
be raised here at home, demanding that more severe
restrictions or even oppressive measures be taken against
Japanese here in retaliation. Such an experience would
be no new thing: time and again public opinion, aroused
over Far Eastern events, has been directed against Cana
dians of Japanese origin, no matter how innocent they
may be.
But at such a time it is not amiss once again to stress
that Japanese Canadians cannot logically or justly be held
responsible for international events. Nor is it inoppor
tune to remind the Canadian public that even assuming
that Japanese authorities have committed a grievous
wrong, such a misdeed surely cannot be rectified by the
oerpetration of another wrong here in Canada.

With radio broadcasting making tremendous progress in the
last decade, all countries in the world were not slow in seeing the
benefits of radio for the purpose-of describing their ideals and
ways of thinking to the rest of the world. Great Britain, United
States, France and Germany are but a few of the leaders in this
field.
Japan has not been slow in following these examples. Since
1935 Japan has been broadcasting to the world under the auspices

BROADCASTS broadcasts were conducted through a borrowed
transmitter used usually for international telephone
communication and later through a 20.000-watt transmitter at

The purpose of these broadcasts are twofold: first to
convey to the outside world Japanese thoughts and ideals,
secondly to aid the Japanese settlers in the South Sea pos
sessions and in Manchuria to ease their loneliness in the wilds.
Accordingly, the first of these broadcasts were in Japanese
and in English. Gradually Chinese, Dutch. French, German and
Hindustani were added, and today the JBC broadcasts in twelve
languages including Italian, Spanish. Burmese, Siamese and Pojtuguese as well as those mentioned previously.

in case you’d like to become a member of this society.
I
RULE No. 1 : Be sure to put in a monopoly on all public mirrors. I
After all those mirrors were put there for your benefit, to make you I
look pretty. Others don’t mind waiting while you leisurely proceed I
from step to step of your complicated toilet. They’ve got all the time I
in the world.
I
RULE NO. 2: Scatter your powder all over the place. A film oi l
white over everything gives the place a distinctive look of originality. I
RULE No. 3: Combing your hair in public is just the grandest I
idea. You do look so glamourous in the act. And people love to pick I
hair out of their clothes and fish them out of their soup. It’s a fascin<|
ating game. It keeps the mind occupied when you’ve run out of con- .I
versational matter.
I
RULE NO. 4: Always leave your war-paint paraphernalia at home. I
Why should you be weighed down with them when you can borrow
someone else’s. After all decent people should observe that old adage—
‘‘share and share alike.”
RULE NO. 5: Don’t forget to leave your trademark wherever you;
go. A red streak of lipstick on a napkin, towel or even the wall looks
very pretty. It’s nice to let people know that they’ve been honoured
with your patronage. And you don’t have to clean up afterwards so
who cares?
Rule NO. 6: Make it a habit to file your nails where you can be
heard. That scraping noise is so appealing to the musical-minded.
RULE NO. 7: Be original. Don’t follow everybody around like
sheep. Stand out by wearing clothes that are different. That white
silk dress, for instance, is just the thing for a picnic. It’ll keep cverybody in nervous jitters trying to keep you spick and span. And those
French heel are swell for a good hike. It’ll give the boys a thrill to
let them carry you when the heels prove a little too much for you.
R.ULE No.-8: Be as conspicuous as you can when you go to the
movies. You do look so much like Garbo, so why not let the peopk
notice you. Step all over everybody’s toes when you clamber into your,
seat. And when you get there rustle that candy paper and tell Sara
all about Suzie’s latest escapade. The picture wasn f worth the price
so why pay attention?
Rule NO. 9: When you talk, always talk as loud as you un.,,

Then she handed me her set of rules. I'm passing them on to vou I
in case you’d like to become a member of this society.
I
RULE No. 1 : Be sure to put in a monopoly on all public mirrors. I
After all those mirrors were put there for your benefit, to make you I
look pretty. Others don’t mind waiting while you leisurely proceed I
from step to step of your complicated toilet. They’ve got all the time I
in the world.
I
RULE NO. 2: Scatter your powder all over the place. A film oi l
white over everything gives the place a distinctive look of originality. I
RULE No. 3: Combing your hair in public is just the grandest I
idea. You do look so glamourous in the act. And people love to pick I
hair out of their clothes and fish them out of their soup. It’s a fascin<|
ating game. It keeps the mind occupied when you’ve run out of con- .I
versational matter.
I
RULE NO. 4: Always leave your war-paint paraphernalia at home. I
Why should you be weighed down with them when you can borrow
someone else’s. After all decent people should observe that old adage—
‘‘share and share alike.”
RULE NO. 5: Don’t forget to leave your trademark wherever you;
go. A red streak of lipstick on a napkin, towel or even the wall looks
very pretty. It’s nice to let people know that they’ve been honoured
with your patronage. And you don’t have to clean up afterwards so
who cares?
Rule NO. 6: Make it a habit to file your nails where you can be
heard. That scraping noise is so appealing to the musical-minded.
RULE NO. 7: Be original. Don’t follow everybody around like
sheep. Stand out by wearing clothes that are different. That white
silk dress, for instance, is just the thing for a picnic. It’ll keep cverybody in nervous jitters trying to keep you spick and span. And those
French heel are swell for a good hike. It’ll give the boys a thrill to
let them carry you when the heels prove a little too much for you.
R.ULE No.-8: Be as conspicuous as you can when you go to the
movies. You do look so much like Garbo, so why not let the peopk
notice you. Step all over everybody’s toes when you clamber into your,
seat. And when you get there rustle that candy paper and tell Sara
all about Suzie’s latest escapade. The picture wasn f worth the price
so why pay attention?
Rule NO. 9: When you talk, always talk as loud as you un.,,
Why' confine all your news to your pal? Everyody would like to tarall about that handsome doctor that fished out your appendix, n |
use that high-pitched shrill treble of yours. It 11 send nice Httk

The Tanka and the Haiku
MONG the various forms of Japanese poetry, the most important and
most popular are the haiku, and the tanna. The haiku, consisting of
only seventeen syllables, is the shortest type of all: while the tanka or
"short poem." has thirty-one syllables divided into five lines of 5. 7. 5.
7. 7 syllables respectively. These thirty-one syllables usually make up
A
about fifteen words.
Brevity and ellipsis are the life and soul of the tanka. Being so
short, it is naturally lyrical in style, and at its best is pregnant wit
allusive meaning. An ancient Japanese poet wrote: "To compose a
Japanese poem is as worthwhile and as difficult as to carve a statue of
Buddha." But though it is extremely difficult to write an ideal tanka,
it is easy for a man of culture to compose commonplace ones. Almost
every cultured Japanese, when moved by joy, anger, sorrow or any other
strong emotion, has at some time or another burst into poetry.

There is reason to believe that over the past twenty-six centuries all
the Fmperors. one hundred and twenty-four in number, have composed
poems The most prominent poet of them all was the Emperor Meiji,
who. before he passed away in 1912, had composed no fewer than nmety
thousand pieces of tanka, a large number of which are perfect jewels.
It was the Emperor Meiji who revived the annual New Year's
Poetry Party, called Uta Onkmai Hajime, which dates back to ancient
times but had long been discontinued. Some weeks in advance the
Emperor himself announces the subject of the New T ear’s poem, and

The Tanka and the Haiku
MONG the various forms of Japanese poetry, the most important and
most popular are the haiku, and the tanna. The haiku, consisting of
only seventeen syllables, is the shortest type of all: while the tanka or
"short poem." has thirty-one syllables divided into five lines of 5. 7. 5.
7. 7 syllables respectively. These thirty-one syllables usually make up
A
about fifteen words.
Brevity and ellipsis are the life and soul of the tanka. Being so
short, it is naturally lyrical in style, and at its best is pregnant wit
allusive meaning. An ancient Japanese poet wrote: "To compose a
Japanese poem is as worthwhile and as difficult as to carve a statue of
Buddha." But though it is extremely difficult to write an ideal tanka,
it is easy for a man of culture to compose commonplace ones. Almost
every cultured Japanese, when moved by joy, anger, sorrow or any other
strong emotion, has at some time or another burst into poetry.
