A paper published by and for second - generarion Japanese in Canada,
and devoted to their welfare as citizens of Canada.
Staff
Kunito I . Shoyama

Seiji Onizuka
Published weekly at the Taiyo Printing Company.
Rates: 25c per month
S2.50 per year in advance
Challenge to the Community
QUR headline this week is “Local War Services Drive Over
/lop. ’ That’s the kind of headline we're really proud
to publish, especially when we are told that our own divis
ion is the first in the city not only to fill its quota but to
exceed it.
Through the good offices and the confidence of the
Canadian Japanese Association, our community has shown
in yet another way that we are solidly united behind Canada
• in her struggle today.
Now it’s up to you and you and you to back up this
gesture of the Association. It's simply up to you to dig into
your pocket, to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that this
was no mere stage play.
•
There is no need to urge upon.you why you are giv
ing in this appeal. You are as conscious as ‘we are of the
needs of our men in the services and the debt each of us owes
to them. And that, simply, is why we are sure you will do
what you can.
.
Education and Understanding
PREJUDICE, it is well known, is a product of ignorance
——a quality too often displayed. both by Oriental Can
adians and Occidental Canadians in any consideration of
our ■'Oriental Problem.”
That is why the gift made by the Japanese consul in
the form of a substantial donation for the purchase of libr
ary volumes is one that is particularly worthwhile.
Japanese Canadian Citizens League officials have in
dicated that the funds thus available will be used to begin
a section of the library devoted to books dealing with the im
migrant problem in Canada, and especially with the Oriental
phase of it. .
This collection of books will be of inestimable value as
an educational force not only to the Nisei, but also to any
responsible citizen desiring to learn more than what he reads
in the newspapers.
The study of the question from a scientific and factual
point of view through recognized books will serve to broaden
our understanding and increase our capacity for working out
a reasonable solution.

A paper published by and for second - generarion Japanese in Canada,
and devoted to their welfare as citizens of Canada.

Published weekly at the Taiyo Printing Company.

Challenge to the Community
QUR headline this week is “Local War Services Drive Over
/lop. ’ That’s the kind of headline we're really proud
to publish, especially when we are told that our own divis
ion is the first in the city not only to fill its quota but to
exceed it.
Through the good offices and the confidence of the
Canadian Japanese Association, our community has shown
in yet another way that we are solidly united behind Canada
• in her struggle today.
Now it’s up to you and you and you to back up this
gesture of the Association. It's simply up to you to dig into
your pocket, to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that this
was no mere stage play.
•
There is no need to urge upon.you why you are giv
ing in this appeal. You are as conscious as ‘we are of the
needs of our men in the services and the debt each of us owes
to them. And that, simply, is why we are sure you will do
what you can.
.
Education and Understanding
PREJUDICE, it is well known, is a product of ignorance
——a quality too often displayed. both by Oriental Can
adians and Occidental Canadians in any consideration of
our ■'Oriental Problem.”
That is why the gift made by the Japanese consul in
the form of a substantial donation for the purchase of libr
ary volumes is one that is particularly worthwhile.
Japanese Canadian Citizens League officials have in
dicated that the funds thus available will be used to begin
a section of the library devoted to books dealing with the im
migrant problem in Canada, and especially with the Oriental
phase of it. .
This collection of books will be of inestimable value as
an educational force not only to the Nisei, but also to any
responsible citizen desiring to learn more than what he reads
in the newspapers.
The study of the question from a scientific and factual
point of view through recognized books will serve to broaden
our understanding and increase our capacity for working out
a reasonable solution.

And there suddenly
sweetened out through that dead hot air a
clear, cool, tense thread-gush of melody unlike any sound I had. ever beard before—•
save in tropical nights—from the throat of
a mockingbird. It was “Auld Lang Syne”
only---- but with never a tremolo or artifice;
-—a marvellous, audacious simplicity of utter
ance. The silver of that singing rings in my
heart still.
There is no song which moves . me so
much — ntt because of the “intolerable
pathos” only-,—as Mathew Arnold calls it—
of the words, nor only of the souvenir of
the divine voice. But there is a dream fast

Croak . . - croak . . . croak
can you hear them too?
. . . did you say they provoke
your pensive mind?
You don’t understand . . .
those blasting frogs arc really kind!
Listen . . . there they start again!
there's music, restless, forceful
in their mass refrain.
O the world and youth and spring
arc at our feet. Let us live!
Let us with their ecstasy sing!
This must be eternity . . . miles away from
Powell Street.
away from that one shabby, sunless room
away from smut where drunkards meet
away from shoyu, takuwan and rice
away from Hanako's cry of "ano-ne” !
We are too saturated with the moving cries
of men and mice to let our voice and
feelings die
within four walls of Powell Street.
How can your hopes succumb and die?
. . . because too long you’ve sweated in a
ship
which has no color, art or life?
And yet you live to live—you cannot stop.
But Powell Street is human too
. . . it can laugh as well as grieve
and suck and rob your purse and make
you blue .. .
How odd- we ran away from there
to heal our ruffled brain
and in this quiet woody realm we stare
into the night and muse about our street!
. . . What? Eavesdroppers did you say?
Oh but of course . . - the frogs . • . our
they must have heard . . • or do you
surmise
that croaking frogs can eavesdrop too?
Back to "our street”! ... I think they
arc too wise!
“Pattie is going to sing at the St. Charles,
said a friend to me years ago. “I know you
hate the theatre, but you must go.” (I had
been surfeited with drama by old duty as a
dramatic reporter, and had vowed not to
enter a theatre again.)
1 went.
There was
a great dim pressure, a stifling heat, a whis
pering of silks, a weight of toilet-perfumes.
Then came an awful hush; all the silks
stopped whispering.
And there suddenly
sweetened out through that dead hot air a
clear, cool, tense thread-gush of melody unlike any sound I had. ever beard before—•
save in tropical nights—from the throat of
a mockingbird. It was “Auld Lang Syne”
only---- but with never a tremolo or artifice;
-—a marvellous, audacious simplicity of utter
ance. The silver of that singing rings in my
heart still.
There is no song which moves . me so
much — ntt because of the “intolerable
pathos” only-,—as Mathew Arnold calls it—
of the words, nor only of the souvenir of
the divine voice. But there is a dream fast
ened to that song ...
We twa hae paidl’t i' the burn,
Frae morning sun till dine:
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin’ Auld Lang Syne.
I believe it was first the clan call of the
MacGregors; then “Auld Lang Syne.” —
From Japanese Letters of Lafcadio Hearn
(Boston, Houghton Mifflin).

else other than my work". And in this terse reply, I think we can see
a very' worthwhile lesson.
Born in Dublin of a very poor family. Lord Northcliffe entered upon
a newspaper career at the age of IS.
And from then on, awake or
asleep, and even at his meals, he concentrated upon the -study of his
chosen vocation.
To one aim, and one aim only, the publication of
newspapers, he devoted his every energy and every thought.
And for
forty solid years he applied himself with such zeal and aetermination
that at his death he was internationally famous in the newspaper world.
In this story of single-mindedness of purpose, there lies an example
worthy of our thought.
As a second generation Japanese, I am at all times acutely conscious
of the tense and delicate relations between Canada and Japan. So deeply
am I stirred that I am filled with a foreboding. And yet, when I reflect
upon our community and our institutions, reared up and shaped by the
hands and sacrifice of our parents and predecessors, I am inspired to
seek the highest goal in life. To attain this I believe that just as in the
case of our great newspaperman, it is necessary to set for myself the
highest goal and to apply myself to its attainment.
A human being, shiftless, aimless, drifting without an ob
jective, may be likened to the lowliest mongrel roaming about in
the fields.
For our part, a life without any accomplishments in this
world, only the memory of a useless, aimless existence

would deprive us of any right to call ourselves Nisei when
we consider the heritage of our parents and predecessors.
But let us consider the plight of the Nisei.
From the viewpoint
of humanity and social justice, they are receiving unwarrantable treat

To remove this inequality, to attain our just privileges—this >s
a most important objective of the Nisei.
It is an objective cherished not only by and for ourselves.
No.
The Issei, too, have sought after it, and would inspire us to work for it.
For the coming third and fourth generation, too, we must attain this
goal.
There is assuredly no more desirable end in life than to work
toward the benefit of the past and future generations.
But having decided upon our goal and having decided to throw
