Nisei Convention
This armistice week-end. young
people from scattered communities
will come together again, united in
a common spirit, united in a common
purpose. They will come from fishing
village and lumber camp, from farm
ing hamlet and city street—from dif
fering background and occupation,
yet to meet on common ground, to
gether to face common problems.
Their meeting this Armistice week
end is of utmost importance to‘every
one of 15.000 second generation, to
every one of a parent generation, to
every one of a yet unborn third gen
eration.
For upon their shoulders rest the
responsibilities of leadership in a
movement to uphold democracy at
home, a movement to ensure for
themselves and their descendants
the right to hold high their heads
among their fellow men, a move
ment to win for themselves an
equal place in the creation of a
Canadian nation.
And this year, too. the organized
form of that movement, the Japanese
Canadian Citizens League, faces a
critical period in its work and his
tory. In this, its fifth year, the first
burst of enthusiasm in which the
League was first conceived and cre
ated, has long since lost its rallying
strength. Nor can the immaturity of
the organization be accepted any
longer as sufficient reason for lack
of accomplishment. But the League
has not yet attained that age, prestige,
or wealth of tradition and experience
to assure it of unfailing support,
whatever
periodic
setbacks
may
occur. And casting its shadow over
every aspect of this situation is a
desperate war, the most critical in
our history, fostering and engender
ing misdirected and ill-conceived hate
and passion.
But delegates will come to this con
vention with the unswerving convic
tion that the solution to their prob
lems must be sought along principles
of the highest and fullest citizenship
as Canadians. Whatever evil may
have arisen from the war, it has made
more vivid than ever before this real
ization. that Canada holds for the
Nisei at large his only future.
To the delegates, then, to their delib
erations. to their hopes — a tribute
from The New Canadian.

One speaker, pointing out the fact

should seek to train their talents for

white collar positions which' are over

skilled workers were living quite
prosperously, often much better off

Nisei Convention
This armistice week-end. young
people from scattered communities
will come together again, united in
a common spirit, united in a common
purpose. They will come from fishing
village and lumber camp, from farm
ing hamlet and city street—from dif
fering background and occupation,
yet to meet on common ground, to
gether to face common problems.
Their meeting this Armistice week
end is of utmost importance to‘every
one of 15.000 second generation, to
every one of a parent generation, to
every one of a yet unborn third gen
eration.
For upon their shoulders rest the
responsibilities of leadership in a
movement to uphold democracy at
home, a movement to ensure for
themselves and their descendants
the right to hold high their heads
among their fellow men, a move
ment to win for themselves an
equal place in the creation of a
Canadian nation.
And this year, too. the organized
form of that movement, the Japanese
Canadian Citizens League, faces a
critical period in its work and his
tory. In this, its fifth year, the first
burst of enthusiasm in which the
League was first conceived and cre
ated, has long since lost its rallying
strength. Nor can the immaturity of
the organization be accepted any
longer as sufficient reason for lack
of accomplishment. But the League
has not yet attained that age, prestige,
or wealth of tradition and experience
to assure it of unfailing support,
whatever
periodic
setbacks
may
occur. And casting its shadow over
every aspect of this situation is a
desperate war, the most critical in
our history, fostering and engender
ing misdirected and ill-conceived hate
and passion.
But delegates will come to this con
vention with the unswerving convic
tion that the solution to their prob
lems must be sought along principles
of the highest and fullest citizenship
as Canadians. Whatever evil may
have arisen from the war, it has made
more vivid than ever before this real
ization. that Canada holds for the
Nisei at large his only future.
To the delegates, then, to their delib
erations. to their hopes — a tribute
from The New Canadian.
