There is hardly any need to dwell
upon the merits of the Red Cross
Society. Its humanitarian work which
knows no barrier of race or creed
is above all reproach.
But we cannot stress too much
the importance of each and every
one of us contributing our little
share, to the cause.
We are indeed lucky to enjoy the
privileges of normal living in this
age of inhuman war methods. We
‘have had no harrowing experience
of scurrying into air-raid shelters in
the pitch black of the night at the
screech of sirens, of standing by
helplessly while tons and tons of
bombs were being dropped on our
homes, of having relatives or friends
killed by machine-gun bullets.
We are living in a country where
democracy’s flag, “a symbol of the
sacredness of human life,’’ still waves
at full mast. And living we cannot
help but pause to think of those who
have been hit hard by the war and
for whom the Red Cross is bending
every effort to help.
No sacrifice on our part for the
society, therefore, would appear too
hard, too difficult, for us to bear
despite the many sacrifices we have
made in the past.

In the Vancouver "Province” is a

that Japanese who have entered Canada illegally7 should be rounded up
and deported, and that no further
Jauanese should be admitted at pres
ent. But it adds that we should not
forget that most of the Japanese now
in Canada were born in Canada, are
Canadian citizens, and as such they
should not be discriminated against.
"Though of an alien race, they are*
our people.” says the “Province.”
“They are Canadians.’’
“Are we going to keep them as
good Canadians as as a continuing,
festering sore? It is up to us. If we
have the will and the sympathy
and the understanding we can solve
the problem. If we have not. we
can not.”
The “Journal” heartily agrees. A
newspaper called “The New Canadian” is published in Vancouver by
Japanese Canadians (in English), and
there is no more loyal newspaper’ in
this country. Its utterances through
out are warmly patriotic for Canada;
it has a large circulation among Jananese Canadians, and undoubtedly in
dicates the strongly-prevailing sentiment among these Canadian-born
peoole.
The main trouble in British Co
lumbia is that these Canadian-born
people are refused the provincial

also deprives them of Dominion
franchise. Thus they have no votes.
If they could vote, they would be
treated fairly by politicians: they
could protect themselves in a meas
ure. As it is, they are at the mercy
of any demagogue who wants to
make capital out of prejudice
against the Japanese.
It is assuredly not desirable that
Canada should have any more Japan
ese immigrants. With their alien birth,
breeding and viewpoint, they are too
difficult to assimilate in this country;
it is becoming clear also that the
leaders of Japan do not wish to show
any friendliness towards the British
Empire, but rather the reverse; and
this country need not make any con
cession to them—but this should not.
prevent our fair play to Canadianborn citizens, no matter of Japanese
race, who are outspoken in Canadian
loyalty.
The Vancouver “Province” is to be
congratulated on its courageous de

Vancouver where the Bed Gross wih

Vancouver Welfare Federation in
late October. official Red Cross
workers will l)e calling in at every
home to appeal for funds.
There is hardly any need to dwell
upon the merits of the Red Cross
Society. Its humanitarian work which
knows no barrier of race or creed
is above all reproach.
But we cannot stress too much
the importance of each and every
one of us contributing our little
share, to the cause.
We are indeed lucky to enjoy the
privileges of normal living in this
age of inhuman war methods. We
‘have had no harrowing experience
of scurrying into air-raid shelters in
the pitch black of the night at the
screech of sirens, of standing by
helplessly while tons and tons of
bombs were being dropped on our
homes, of having relatives or friends
killed by machine-gun bullets.
We are living in a country where
democracy’s flag, “a symbol of the
sacredness of human life,’’ still waves
at full mast. And living we cannot
help but pause to think of those who
have been hit hard by the war and
for whom the Red Cross is bending
every effort to help.
No sacrifice on our part for the
society, therefore, would appear too
hard, too difficult, for us to bear
despite the many sacrifices we have
made in the past.

(From the Ottawa Morning Journal)
In the Vancouver "Province” is a
timely- appeal for fair treatment of
the Canadian-born citizens of Japan
ese stock. The paper says properly
that Japanese who have entered Canada illegally7 should be rounded up
and deported, and that no further
Jauanese should be admitted at pres
ent. But it adds that we should not
forget that most of the Japanese now
in Canada were born in Canada, are
Canadian citizens, and as such they
should not be discriminated against.
"Though of an alien race, they are*
our people.” says the “Province.”
“They are Canadians.’’
“Are we going to keep them as
good Canadians as as a continuing,
festering sore? It is up to us. If we
have the will and the sympathy
and the understanding we can solve
the problem. If we have not. we
can not.”
The “Journal” heartily agrees. A
newspaper called “The New Canadian” is published in Vancouver by
Japanese Canadians (in English), and
there is no more loyal newspaper’ in
this country. Its utterances through
out are warmly patriotic for Canada;
it has a large circulation among Jananese Canadians, and undoubtedly in
dicates the strongly-prevailing sentiment among these Canadian-born
peoole.
The main trouble in British Co
lumbia is that these Canadian-born
people are refused the provincial
which automatically
franchise
also deprives them of Dominion
franchise. Thus they have no votes.
If they could vote, they would be
treated fairly by politicians: they
could protect themselves in a meas
ure. As it is, they are at the mercy
of any demagogue who wants to
make capital out of prejudice
against the Japanese.
It is assuredly not desirable that
Canada should have any more Japan
ese immigrants. With their alien birth,
breeding and viewpoint, they are too
difficult to assimilate in this country;
it is becoming clear also that the
leaders of Japan do not wish to show
any friendliness towards the British
Empire, but rather the reverse; and
this country need not make any con
cession to them—but this should not.
prevent our fair play to Canadianborn citizens, no matter of Japanese
race, who are outspoken in Canadian
loyalty.
The Vancouver “Province” is to be
congratulated on its courageous de
mand for fair treatment of the Nism.
the Japanese Canadian-born, a de
mand courageous in view of the Dreindice which undoubtedlv exists

"Idols with feet of clay” is a
common way of describing our
broken illusions. I think it is a pic
turesque and apt description. An in
fallible idol crashes to earth with its
accompanying cloud of choking dust
and debris. Looking it over one finds
the feet only of destructible, crumb
ling clay, and one wonders it stood
as long as it did. Perhaps our very
faith obliged the illusion to stay in
place until the props of themselves
tumbled down into dust.
How many of us idealize . . . say.

blind belief and sore wisdom drags

A wonder crop is the soya bean. Coffee, margarine, condense!milk
soy, sauces, soups, cheese, salad oil, crackers, macaroni, flour and evi:
confectionery are among the numerous foodstuffs that the sova ^
yields.
American bakeries advertise the use of soya bean flour in tfA
bread, for bread keeps fresh when baked with a little soya bean flout.
The Manchus eat the bean as such, while the Japanese make the uni
versal bean paste from it.
Clothing, too, can be made from soya beans. Science has prods

Alcohol, glycerine, explosives, enamels, varnishes, paints, soap,

need mention.
From the casein produced from soya beans, miracle plastics h:

Ford cars arc reputedly made from plastics of soya bean origin.
It will not be long before eating utensils, aeroplane boiT
and a whole gamut of commodit ies will be produced from soya beers.

T
Feet of clay . . . broken dreams
and illusion . . . and another notch
in the molding of our character, an
other layer of shell around us to pro
tect our sensitivity.
How thick is the hide that covers
our inner selves? The more sensitive
we are. the thicker the protective
shell. When we were young and
vulnerable, the soft resilience of our
hearts still innocent and unseamed
made easy target for the barbs of the
cruel tongues and deeds of the sadistic
people around us. How often our
youthful and trusting spirits shrank
in sudden, unmerited pain from the
thrusts of the mean and the envious
"friends.”
. All too soon we learn the expedi
ency of cloaking our real feelings and
showing to the world a false front,
inwardly hoping that it will fool
the "birds of prey” but not the true
friends. Sometimes we are lucky in
IK -the choice of front, and happily it
guards us from the worst stings. But
\V
sometimes,
we are not so fortunate.
W
We let a crust grow on us that is
w unpleasant and difficult to dislodge
11/ when we want to do so. The people
w around point us out as victims of
11/ inferiority complexes, and pity us.
11/
\l/ and this last is what we desire
\V least.
<1/
The adjustment between self and
environment is one of the most important phases we have to go through
to attain our stature as responsible
men and women. At this time, it is
decided for us what is to be our
future line of conduct, our processes ^
of thought, our acceptance of the
world as it really is. not as the fig
ment of our pre-awakening drcams.
So. we say: ^Appearances arc de
ceiving. A golden idol may be hiding
its fundamental weakness under glit
tering coat. A brusque and wise
cracking manner may be hiding a
heart fearfully ..tender and sensitive.

"Idols with feet of clay” is a
common way of describing our
broken illusions. I think it is a pic
turesque and apt description. An in
fallible idol crashes to earth with its
accompanying cloud of choking dust
and debris. Looking it over one finds
the feet only of destructible, crumb
ling clay, and one wonders it stood
as long as it did. Perhaps our very
faith obliged the illusion to stay in
place until the props of themselves
tumbled down into dust.
How many of us idealize . . . say.

blind belief and sore wisdom drags

or long and bitter, depending on the
character of the dreamer. Accompany

A wonder crop is the soya bean. Coffee, margarine, condense!milk
soy, sauces, soups, cheese, salad oil, crackers, macaroni, flour and evi:
confectionery are among the numerous foodstuffs that the sova ^
yields.
American bakeries advertise the use of soya bean flour in tfA
bread, for bread keeps fresh when baked with a little soya bean flout.
The Manchus eat the bean as such, while the Japanese make the uni
versal bean paste from it.
Clothing, too, can be made from soya beans. Science has prods
a rtificial wool from the lowly yellow bean that can be grown anywhes
in Mancboukuo with such little care.
Alcohol, glycerine, explosives, enamels, varnishes, paints, soap,
luloid, rubber substitutes, printing ink. lighting and lubricating oils
by-products, while fertilizer, cattle fodder are other uses which sc
need mention.
From the casein produced from soya beans, miracle plastics h:
been made. Hand in hand with the unceasing wonders performed
steering
science, the soya bean is finding greater uses.
Ford cars arc reputedly made from plastics of soya bean origin.
It will not be long before eating utensils, aeroplane boiT
and a whole gamut of commodit ies will be produced from soya beers.
The soga bean, king product of Mancboukuo. can virtually support
a civilization on its own.

T
Feet of clay . . . broken dreams
and illusion . . . and another notch
in the molding of our character, an
other layer of shell around us to pro
tect our sensitivity.
How thick is the hide that covers
our inner selves? The more sensitive
we are. the thicker the protective
shell. When we were young and
vulnerable, the soft resilience of our
hearts still innocent and unseamed
made easy target for the barbs of the
cruel tongues and deeds of the sadistic
people around us. How often our
youthful and trusting spirits shrank
in sudden, unmerited pain from the
thrusts of the mean and the envious
"friends.”
. All too soon we learn the expedi
ency of cloaking our real feelings and
showing to the world a false front,
inwardly hoping that it will fool
the "birds of prey” but not the true
friends. Sometimes we are lucky in
IK -the choice of front, and happily it
guards us from the worst stings. But
\V
sometimes,
we are not so fortunate.
W
We let a crust grow on us that is
w unpleasant and difficult to dislodge
11/ when we want to do so. The people
w around point us out as victims of
11/ inferiority complexes, and pity us.
11/
\l/ and this last is what we desire
\V least.
<1/
The adjustment between self and
environment is one of the most important phases we have to go through
to attain our stature as responsible
men and women. At this time, it is
decided for us what is to be our
future line of conduct, our processes ^
of thought, our acceptance of the
world as it really is. not as the fig
ment of our pre-awakening drcams.
So. we say: ^Appearances arc de
ceiving. A golden idol may be hiding
its fundamental weakness under glit
tering coat. A brusque and wise
cracking manner may be hiding a
heart fearfully ..tender and sensitive.
