Convention Problems
Many questions will face the del
egates to the fifth annual convention
of the Japanese Canadian Citizens
League—most of them familiar and
all of them difficult. But of these
many important issues, there are two
deserving of the greatest emphasis.
The first of these will concern
our allegiance to Canada and the
quality of our Canadianism. In last
year's convention,
a resolution
pledging the fullest support of Can
ada’s war policy received the unan
imous endorsation of delegates. In
this year’s meeting, we are assured,
delegates will not hesitate in their
re-affirmation of that pledge.
The second of these paramount
questions will provoke more con
troversy and discussion. Undoubted
ly today, after five years of prog
ress, the League still faces the most
difficult problems of internal organ
ization; and the delegates assembled
will have no greater responsibility
than to search diligently for ways
and means of strengthening the fibre
of organization.
If the times be critical and the tide
of intolerance running full today,
surely there is no greater need than
for greater effort and greater sacrifice
to combat evil forces of disunity,
which may work not merely to the
disadvantage of the Japanese Cana
dian League, but also to each and
every second generation in Canada.
CURITHER
was a British subject or not. Ap
parently we are not to be trusted.
I use my rifle for hunting purposes
only and I consider it a sport. I
know all the Japanese second gen
eration boys have them for the
same purpose. We are many who
work in the woods and hunting is
the only form of recreation that
can be enjoyed. They have barred
us from this form of sport.
If thev can’t trust us with a rifle
we use for sport, then in God’s name
how can they ^entrust to us a gun
with a' bayonet at the end of it? Or
if they don’t intend to enlist the Ni
seis in the army in case of dire need,
then why should we take military
training!
Something is haywire somewhere.
I believe the British people boast of
their sportsmanship. The British folks
you and I associate with may well
boast of it. But Ahose who direct the
government in this country have yet
to prove to us whether they even
know of the existence of the word.
...After pledging loyalty and doing
the utmost we are able to do for this
country, don’t you think the Niseis in
the woods are entitled to this latest
feeling of resentment?
Douglas Fujiwara,
(Oregon Journal. Portland, Oregon)
The Journal bespeaks a warm
welcome and understanding reception
for the 1,000 delegates to the sixth
biennial national convention of the
Japanese American Citizens League
in Portland this week.
At a time when relations between
the United States and Japan are in
creasingly strained and world affairs
are in a tumultuous condition, they
face a grave responsibility. Though
they are loyal American citizens,
dedicated to the promotion of demo
cratic ideals and determined to be
come an integral component of the
American pattern of life, they are
suspect, nevertheless, and through no
fault of their own, because of the ex
pansionist program of the Japanese
militarists.
Able, industrious, law abiding and
patriotic, some of them American
veterans of the first World War,
these second generation Japanese (Ni
sei) have no ties with Nippon save
those of history. Their interests are
here. They are the products of

Convention Problems
Many questions will face the del
egates to the fifth annual convention
of the Japanese Canadian Citizens
League—most of them familiar and
all of them difficult. But of these
many important issues, there are two
deserving of the greatest emphasis.
The first of these will concern
our allegiance to Canada and the
quality of our Canadianism. In last
year's convention,
a resolution
pledging the fullest support of Can
ada’s war policy received the unan
imous endorsation of delegates. In
this year’s meeting, we are assured,
delegates will not hesitate in their
re-affirmation of that pledge.
The second of these paramount
questions will provoke more con
troversy and discussion. Undoubted
ly today, after five years of prog
ress, the League still faces the most
difficult problems of internal organ
ization; and the delegates assembled
will have no greater responsibility
than to search diligently for ways
and means of strengthening the fibre
of organization.
If the times be critical and the tide
of intolerance running full today,
surely there is no greater need than
for greater effort and greater sacrifice
to combat evil forces of disunity,
which may work not merely to the
disadvantage of the Japanese Cana
dian League, but also to each and
every second generation in Canada.
CURITHER
was a British subject or not. Ap
parently we are not to be trusted.
I use my rifle for hunting purposes
only and I consider it a sport. I
know all the Japanese second gen
eration boys have them for the
same purpose. We are many who
work in the woods and hunting is
the only form of recreation that
can be enjoyed. They have barred
us from this form of sport.
If thev can’t trust us with a rifle
we use for sport, then in God’s name
how can they ^entrust to us a gun
with a' bayonet at the end of it? Or
if they don’t intend to enlist the Ni
seis in the army in case of dire need,
then why should we take military
training!
Something is haywire somewhere.
I believe the British people boast of
their sportsmanship. The British folks
you and I associate with may well
boast of it. But Ahose who direct the
government in this country have yet
to prove to us whether they even
know of the existence of the word.
...After pledging loyalty and doing
the utmost we are able to do for this
country, don’t you think the Niseis in
the woods are entitled to this latest
feeling of resentment?
Douglas Fujiwara,
(Oregon Journal. Portland, Oregon)
The Journal bespeaks a warm
welcome and understanding reception
for the 1,000 delegates to the sixth
biennial national convention of the
Japanese American Citizens League
in Portland this week.
At a time when relations between
the United States and Japan are in
creasingly strained and world affairs
are in a tumultuous condition, they
face a grave responsibility. Though
they are loyal American citizens,
dedicated to the promotion of demo
cratic ideals and determined to be
come an integral component of the
American pattern of life, they are
suspect, nevertheless, and through no
fault of their own, because of the ex
pansionist program of the Japanese
militarists.
Able, industrious, law abiding and
patriotic, some of them American
veterans of the first World War,
these second generation Japanese (Ni
sei) have no ties with Nippon save
those of history. Their interests are
here. They are the products of

By "KAYE"
a certain Wednesday evening, being
we made our way
leisurely with the crowd towards rhe Malkin Bowl to take part in
the weekly Kiwanis Sing Song. We purposely came to spend the evening
here at Stanley Park to get away from our petty everyday woes, to
elevate our minds, to sing out some of the dark thoughts of revenge
against a certain gentleman (?) whom you all know without my men
tioning his name. We were feeling lost, discouraged—and Stanley Park
to me was just the place to find ourselves again. It holds an endless
fascination for me, especially in the evenings . . . starlit skies overhead,
the silver moon playing hide and seek amongst the trees and clouds, the
calm stately trees that seem to lend their strength to our tired minds and
bodies, the soothing murmur of the winds through the treetops, the
delightful combination of the tang of the ocean and a whiff of fragrant
pines.
We made our way through the numerous rows of benches, until
halfway down, we found seats that gave us a comfortable view-of all
that might take place on the stage. My seat happened to be next to that
of an elderly couple. As I sat down, they gave me a casual indifferent
glance, which I returned with a smile . . . immediately their faces broke
forth into a warm, friendly smile and then. “A lovely evening, isn’t it’
The ice being broken, I soon found that a more gracious and friendly*
couple would have been hard to find anywhere, and soon, after exchang
ing views on different current events. I found myself pouring out my
heart regarding ourselves, the Niseis. Aftcj trying to convince them that
we were very* much Canadians, she remarked:
"Why. of course you are Canadians. I think the whole trouble lies
in the fact that we don't know enough of you people really to under
stand you. Most of us rarely come in contact with the Japanese young
people to have a heart to heart chat . . . I’m so very glad I made your
acquaintance this evening. Now that I have heard two sides to the
story. I won’t be easily swayed by unreliable news write-ups."
Mv friend and I expressed our thanks to her for taking such a
warm interest in us and I felt I had made a lasting friend.
taking part in the Sing Song, my heart and body relaxed and
I felt and knew that I belonged. Here, sitting shoulder to shoulder
and being a part of the huge audience ... a feeling of coming home,
belonging. surged through my heart. All my worries of the past week
over a certain person's false accusations, seemed so very silly.
1 x
There was no doubt about it, I had found the answer that had
been tormenting me for the past days . . . “Where do we stand?” The
answer lies with no one else but yourself. Look squarely, unflinchingly
deep down in vour hearts and ask yourself. "Am I a Canadian ... if
the time should come, am I willing to give up my life for Canada?” If,
deep down in your hearts, the Union Jack is rooted with a security that
time, circumstances will not wear away, why no one, no one can say
vou aren't a Canadian. The answer is up to me. you. First, to know
whether vou yourself believe you are a Canadian, and second, for us to
bring understanding and conviction by going out of our way to show
them our real selves . . . not through people with distorted views, for
they have no other way of knowing.
Thc U.B.C. motto, “Tuum Est." “It is up to you." suddenly
struck me. how appropriate! We Niseis should make it our own. To
become recognized Canadians, it is up to me, and you.
For example, this evening, how by a smile I had the opportunity
of showing another, a little about ourselves. Supposing I had returned
that indifferent glance that she first gave me: by feeling if that’s the
way she feels about it. well, all right! How thankful I am that I never
missed this chance. It made me realize how much more alert I must be
from now on to make friends. These thoughts flashed back and forth in
my mind as I sat taking part in the Sing Song.
ID ED. WHITE AND Blue, tvhat docs it mean to you? This challenge
seemed to echo and re-echo through my head as I slowly wended
my way homeward. To most people straggling contentedly homeward,
humming or whistling their favorite tunc, it was just another delightful
ending to a perfect day. To me. it meant much, much more than I can
ever express, the wonderful feeling that kept flooding through my heart
will never be stilled. I gave a silent prayer of thanks to the world about
me for helping me find myself. The stars, the moon, (he trees, the
people danced crazily before my eyes as they misted with happy tears.
My heart said. "Now that you know where you stand, it is up to you
to show the others just how much of a Canadian you arc. Yes. TUUM
EST. It is up to me. you . . . and I do mean you.

There was no doubt about it, I had found the answer that had
been tormenting me for the past days . . . “Where do we stand?” The
answer lies with no one else but yourself. Look squarely, unflinchingly

’ightest thing mav touch off a train
of thought wholly unanticipated. A
random word or phrase, some object,
commonplace enough, can set fire to
one's expression in a trail of glory.
That is. it is a trail of glory at that
moment of combustion. There is no
guarantee that it will be glory* to
morrow or the day after. If one is
lucky, however, one can leave some
thing of lasting impression. One al
ways hopes for the best.
Long ago ... I still do it . . .
I used to chew my pencil in the vain
hope of the Muses alighting on my
waiting brow. (Somehow the meta
phor is screwy. There are seven or
nine of the Muses, and I hardly think
my forehead can accommodate them
all. Perhaps there is only* one Muse
that concentrates on scribblers.) The
alphabet, the sunset, the moon, the
goldfish in their bowl, the flowers
'hat bloom in the spring, tra la . . .
all these were hopeful sources of div
ine inspiration. No use. I never got
any of the reactions that counted. If
I did try to write them, all I got
was a stiff posture of words, mostly adjectives.

pings of success, the gold, the
epaulets, the medals of our material
rank. The years take their toll of
our youth, our dreams, and some
times finally set us on the pinnacle
of renown. After that weary* uphill
grind, we suddenly yearn to lay aside
the mantle of achievement, to lie on
the grass thereabouts and smell the
familiar scents of earth and growing
things thereon. The milestones to
success led back to the simplicity of
our beginnings. But. who among us
