THE VANGUARD OF NISEI OPINION
TRinity 03 09

Vancouver, B. C.
A paper published on arid rar rrcard
generat ton Japanese in vanada. ana uecoied
to their welt are as citizens or Canada.
Published weekly ar the Taiyo Printing Co.
1 month 25c. 1 year 52.50 in advance.
First Generation Loyal
The quality of loyalty and good
citizenship is rarely if ever deter
mined solely by accidents - of racial
origin or of place of birth. It is an
emotion which springs from far more
significant factors than geography or
surface biological characteristics. It is
a psychological response to all the
training and experience which a man
goes through from birth to death. It
springs from family background and
teaching, from formal education, from
acquired habits and customs, from
impressions and reactions, from every
thing important and unimportant
woven into the fabric man s daily life.
Loyalty is an individual response to
environment, and the mere fact of
biology in itself is perhaps the least
important factor in its determination.
Translated here from the “Tairiku
Nippo,” the Japanese daily press, is
an excerpt from an editorial demon
strating the quality of loyalty. It in
dicates for all those who care to read,
that even in Japanese i mmigrants
years of life in Canada have evoked
an emotional response to environment
—an emotion of love and loyalty, of
responsibility and the willingness to
give to the service of their adopted
country that which is assuredly dear
est to them, their own children.
''Recently a prominent member of (he
community in addressing a meeting in Stevcsron declared that he had two sons, subject
to military conscription in Canada. He said
that they were willing to serve; and he him
self wholeheartedly agreed that they should
do so.
“The writer has two sons who are not in
the age group subject to call; but it they
were, he would take the same attitude as the
above-mentioned c i t i z e n.
"For even a person who is not naturalized
as a citizen,of a country, if he lives peacefully
within its borders, enjoying the fruits of
good government, should support by every
possible means the emergency efforts ot the
country when faced with a state of war.
That assuredly is a natural duty.
"The Nisei then who is born in this coun
try. and educated in this country, should
give even more wholehearted support, than
one who is an alien. Such is the only atti
tude possible.
"Our second generation in British Colum
bia have no franchise, they are barred from
certain occupations, discrimination against
them is rampant, their loyalty is mistrusted.
All this is attributable to their racial origin,
and to international complications. It would
seem unfortunate but inevitable.
"But the Nisei should forger these' things
of the past, and give their fullest support to
a war-time Canada. Il is up to the Nisei to
prove that they are just as loyal as any other
Canadian, ordinary citizen or highest gov
ernment official. In that way lies their hope
for recognition as full Canadians."

the shoe repairer, the quaint Pie'd'

The ice-cake seller, the flower ped

First Generation Loyal
The quality of loyalty and good
citizenship is rarely if ever deter
mined solely by accidents - of racial
origin or of place of birth. It is an
emotion which springs from far more
significant factors than geography or
surface biological characteristics. It is
a psychological response to all the
training and experience which a man
goes through from birth to death. It
springs from family background and
teaching, from formal education, from
acquired habits and customs, from
impressions and reactions, from every
thing important and unimportant
woven into the fabric man s daily life.
Loyalty is an individual response to
environment, and the mere fact of
biology in itself is perhaps the least
important factor in its determination.
Translated here from the “Tairiku
Nippo,” the Japanese daily press, is
an excerpt from an editorial demon
strating the quality of loyalty. It in
dicates for all those who care to read,
that even in Japanese i mmigrants
years of life in Canada have evoked
an emotional response to environment
—an emotion of love and loyalty, of
responsibility and the willingness to
give to the service of their adopted
country that which is assuredly dear
est to them, their own children.
''Recently a prominent member of (he
community in addressing a meeting in Stevcsron declared that he had two sons, subject
to military conscription in Canada. He said
that they were willing to serve; and he him
self wholeheartedly agreed that they should
do so.
“The writer has two sons who are not in
the age group subject to call; but it they
were, he would take the same attitude as the
above-mentioned c i t i z e n.
"For even a person who is not naturalized
as a citizen,of a country, if he lives peacefully
within its borders, enjoying the fruits of
good government, should support by every
possible means the emergency efforts ot the
country when faced with a state of war.
That assuredly is a natural duty.
"The Nisei then who is born in this coun
try. and educated in this country, should
give even more wholehearted support, than
one who is an alien. Such is the only atti
tude possible.
"Our second generation in British Colum
bia have no franchise, they are barred from
certain occupations, discrimination against
them is rampant, their loyalty is mistrusted.
All this is attributable to their racial origin,
and to international complications. It would
seem unfortunate but inevitable.
"But the Nisei should forger these' things
of the past, and give their fullest support to
a war-time Canada. Il is up to the Nisei to
prove that they are just as loyal as any other
Canadian, ordinary citizen or highest gov
ernment official. In that way lies their hope
for recognition as full Canadians."

own, with his artistic characterization of a fat, old, Italian farmer engaged
to a young girl. Realism, passion, drama—rising to moments of sheer
poetic beauty and pathetic tenderness.

Winner oi the hemit hi Challenge Cup and the Mainland Challenge Trophy
donated by Mr. Hisao Ka at the I bird Annual Oratorical Contest sponsored by
the Japanese Canadian Citizens League Saturday evening was Thomas T. Tamaki
ol Sunbury. Mr. lamaki. at present the chairman oi the Delta-East RichmondSurrey Chapter ot the JCCL. has long been an earnest member of the group. A
‘militant student, he was awarded the Junior Matriculation scholarship for the
Lower kraser Valley District upon yradualma trom hiah school.
TWHATEVER my misgivings may be,
simply indignant with, the- predomin
ance of competitors from the cities in these
oratorical contests I have gathered up
enough courage and perhaps enough tem
erity to carry the banner for the honest,
the modest, the retiring country folks!
We Japanese Canadians have long been
harassed by the poisoned barbs and the
thoughtless babblings of a few cheap politi
cians who would further their own ends by
blaming their failures upon an innocent
people. However, it would be foolish and
unfair to evaluate all our Canadian people
by this ignorant minority as it would be to
measure our Japanese by the few who have
failed -to live up to our traditions or our
responsibilities.
George Bernard Shaw has said that we
are witnessing a race between civilization
and chaos—with chaos well in the lead.
In other words, we are living in a world
gone mad—a world in which nations reach
out their leperous hands to seize from
their weaker neighbours what they could
have received by peaceful exchange.
We have our faults and the Nisei are by
no means an exception. Some of us are too
indifferent and careless about our future
welfare seeking, if at all, some unwarranted
special advantages and expecting someone
to lead us to our salvation. This is the great
curse of our group!
y^T first glance, there would appear to be
some truth in the theory of evolution.
If man evolved slowly from the apes, he is
plunging headlong down that course again!
And the ape may look upon man, consoled
by the fact that he did not spend a million
years or more in a useless struggle.
The law of the jungle prevails in the
affairs of man but in the jungle animals
do not prey upon those of their own species.
Man is less intelligent in this respect.
Man's inhumanity to man has brought
civilization to the verge of destruction.
Ignorance and prejudice are the weapons
of the dictators. By keeping the people in
ignorance it is possible to capitalize on
their fears. Edmund Burke, one of Great
Britain's greatest statesmen, once said that
the true aim of leadership is the disposing
the people to a better sense of their con
dition.
Instead the politician bends all his efforts
to still contract still further the narrowness
of men's ideas, to conform inveterate prejudice, to inflame vulgar passions, and to
abet all sorts of popular prejudice.
IN th
world of chaos and confusion, of
intolerance and prejudice, of antagonisms
ano discrimination, I believe there is a vast
need for men and women with intelligence
and goodwill, men and women with intellectual virtues fostered by education, men
and women with moral virtues fostered by
religion.
Fm often the term " education'’ is considered as something to be secured by
students or those who seek professions.
But my conception of true education is a
life-long process which gives us wisdom
rather than mere knowledge and therefore
education determines our attitude and out
look upon life in general.
However, mere education making for
intelligence is not enough but there is a
great need for love and tolerance and understanding.
Fundamentally, the principles of religion
comet de with the principles of education.
Every religion is a struggle from ignorance
to knowledge and therefore it is an active
influence in the affairs of mankind. I be
lieve religion can demand equality of '
human rights out of respect for human
persons regardless of race or creed colour
or class, politics or wealth. Each religion
observes its moral and spiritual ideal but
the fundamental principles of them all are
the same.
'TRUE religion v/hich distinguishes between
right and wrong reveals the tragedy of
inhuman ways. It preaches universal brother
hood that man may understand his fellow
man.
True religion
us faith—that in
definable something to hold unto when
everybody and everything seems to have
deserted us. True religion gives us peace
—peace within ourselves and the convic
tion that man's finest qualities are justice
and love, sincerity and truth, friendship
and understanding.
Said Aiderman Wilson: "True religion
must play a greater part in the affairs of
man. We must have the application of the
moral truths of religion through politics to
industry and social problems. We require
an awakened social consciousness based on
the teachings of Jesus Christ." Yes, I8 have
found hope and comfort in the Bible, the
world's greatest book of knowledge. It has
answers to all our problems—national and
individual—and the truth is always found
there.
"Where there is no vision a people
perish." True education teaches us to
reach our own conclusions by thinking
critically and independently and make our
own decisions of right and wrong, of good
and evil on the basis of real knowledge and
not as is often the case on that of real
emotional prejudice. True education which
appeals to reason seeks truth rather than
to achieve some special selfish interest. As
education increases, we learn to take a
more urbane attitude towards human be
ings and towards one another.
Y os, I believe education reinforced by
religion is the greatest factor in moulding
our character making for peace, satisfac
tion and inspiration.
We, Niseis, should not be too greatly
disappointed or concerned because we have
failed to gain the right to vote. Those who
have that right have failed to make good
use of it. It is ever becoming more apparent
that our ills will not be cured by the
franchise. We see today the culmination
of the age-long struggle between good and
evil. All that man can do is to throw his
weight on the side of good!
yHE dawn of a new day is about to
break. What can we do to hasten that
day? We can set an example as good citi~ens which will prove the lie to the pettysouled traducers who would persecute us.
We can be thankful that we live in a land
wnere such harp'es are so small a minority
and where our future depends not on their
prejudice but upon how we conduct our
selves as patriotic Canadians. We must
’earn to turn the other cheek—to be in
dustrious seekers after wisdom.
Our parents met their trials unflinch
ingly and courageously, and whenever they
<ound them life in this country unbearable,
they had the alternative to return to their
native land of Japan. But to us Niseis,
Lanaoa is our home and native land. We
received as a legacy a heavy respon
sibility. But we have the opportunity to
make for ourselves a wonderful future. It
is our task and duty to establish ourselves
in Canadian life.

UMmuahon
Winner oi the hemit hi Challenge Cup and the Mainland Challenge Trophy
donated by Mr. Hisao Ka at the I bird Annual Oratorical Contest sponsored by
the Japanese Canadian Citizens League Saturday evening was Thomas T. Tamaki
ol Sunbury. Mr. lamaki. at present the chairman oi the Delta-East RichmondSurrey Chapter ot the JCCL. has long been an earnest member of the group. A
‘militant student, he was awarded the Junior Matriculation scholarship for the
Lower kraser Valley District upon yradualma trom hiah school.
TWHATEVER my misgivings may be,
simply indignant with, the- predomin
ance of competitors from the cities in these
oratorical contests I have gathered up
enough courage and perhaps enough tem
erity to carry the banner for the honest,
the modest, the retiring country folks!
We Japanese Canadians have long been
harassed by the poisoned barbs and the
thoughtless babblings of a few cheap politi
cians who would further their own ends by
blaming their failures upon an innocent
people. However, it would be foolish and
unfair to evaluate all our Canadian people
by this ignorant minority as it would be to
measure our Japanese by the few who have
failed -to live up to our traditions or our
responsibilities.
George Bernard Shaw has said that we
are witnessing a race between civilization
and chaos—with chaos well in the lead.
In other words, we are living in a world
gone mad—a world in which nations reach
out their leperous hands to seize from
their weaker neighbours what they could
have received by peaceful exchange.
We have our faults and the Nisei are by
no means an exception. Some of us are too
indifferent and careless about our future
welfare seeking, if at all, some unwarranted
special advantages and expecting someone
to lead us to our salvation. This is the great
curse of our group!
y^T first glance, there would appear to be
some truth in the theory of evolution.
If man evolved slowly from the apes, he is
plunging headlong down that course again!
And the ape may look upon man, consoled
by the fact that he did not spend a million
years or more in a useless struggle.
The law of the jungle prevails in the
affairs of man but in the jungle animals
do not prey upon those of their own species.
Man is less intelligent in this respect.
Man's inhumanity to man has brought
civilization to the verge of destruction.
Ignorance and prejudice are the weapons
of the dictators. By keeping the people in
ignorance it is possible to capitalize on
their fears. Edmund Burke, one of Great
Britain's greatest statesmen, once said that
the true aim of leadership is the disposing
the people to a better sense of their con
dition.
Instead the politician bends all his efforts
to still contract still further the narrowness
of men's ideas, to conform inveterate prejudice, to inflame vulgar passions, and to
abet all sorts of popular prejudice.
IN th
world of chaos and confusion, of
intolerance and prejudice, of antagonisms
ano discrimination, I believe there is a vast
need for men and women with intelligence
and goodwill, men and women with intellectual virtues fostered by education, men
and women with moral virtues fostered by
religion.
Fm often the term " education'’ is considered as something to be secured by
students or those who seek professions.
But my conception of true education is a
life-long process which gives us wisdom
rather than mere knowledge and therefore
education determines our attitude and out
look upon life in general.
However, mere education making for
intelligence is not enough but there is a
great need for love and tolerance and understanding.
Fundamentally, the principles of religion
comet de with the principles of education.
Every religion is a struggle from ignorance
to knowledge and therefore it is an active
influence in the affairs of mankind. I be
lieve religion can demand equality of '
human rights out of respect for human
persons regardless of race or creed colour
or class, politics or wealth. Each religion
observes its moral and spiritual ideal but
the fundamental principles of them all are
the same.
'TRUE religion v/hich distinguishes between
right and wrong reveals the tragedy of
inhuman ways. It preaches universal brother
hood that man may understand his fellow
man.
True religion
us faith—that in
definable something to hold unto when
everybody and everything seems to have
deserted us. True religion gives us peace
—peace within ourselves and the convic
tion that man's finest qualities are justice
and love, sincerity and truth, friendship
and understanding.
Said Aiderman Wilson: "True religion
must play a greater part in the affairs of
man. We must have the application of the
moral truths of religion through politics to
industry and social problems. We require
an awakened social consciousness based on
the teachings of Jesus Christ." Yes, I8 have
found hope and comfort in the Bible, the
world's greatest book of knowledge. It has
answers to all our problems—national and
individual—and the truth is always found
there.
"Where there is no vision a people
perish." True education teaches us to
reach our own conclusions by thinking
critically and independently and make our
own decisions of right and wrong, of good
and evil on the basis of real knowledge and
not as is often the case on that of real
emotional prejudice. True education which
appeals to reason seeks truth rather than
to achieve some special selfish interest. As
education increases, we learn to take a
more urbane attitude towards human be
ings and towards one another.
Y os, I believe education reinforced by
religion is the greatest factor in moulding
our character making for peace, satisfac
tion and inspiration.
We, Niseis, should not be too greatly
disappointed or concerned because we have
failed to gain the right to vote. Those who
have that right have failed to make good
use of it. It is ever becoming more apparent
that our ills will not be cured by the
franchise. We see today the culmination
of the age-long struggle between good and
evil. All that man can do is to throw his
weight on the side of good!
yHE dawn of a new day is about to
break. What can we do to hasten that
day? We can set an example as good citi~ens which will prove the lie to the pettysouled traducers who would persecute us.
We can be thankful that we live in a land
wnere such harp'es are so small a minority
and where our future depends not on their
prejudice but upon how we conduct our
selves as patriotic Canadians. We must
’earn to turn the other cheek—to be in
dustrious seekers after wisdom.
Our parents met their trials unflinch
ingly and courageously, and whenever they
<ound them life in this country unbearable,
they had the alternative to return to their
native land of Japan. But to us Niseis,
Lanaoa is our home and native land. We
received as a legacy a heavy respon
sibility. But we have the opportunity to
make for ourselves a wonderful future. It
is our task and duty to establish ourselves
in Canadian life.
