TV PART from a number of very
1
shrewd business men, critics are
inclined to agree that the majority of
first generation Japanese are sadly
lacking in their ability to understand
the Canadain point of view. Differ
ences in training and heritage have
unfortunately left the average Issei
quite unable to grasp Canadian psy
chology. And viewed from the stand
point of a Canadian, the attitude of
many of the first generation, though
undoubtedly sincere and well-inten
tioned, is incredibly naive and un
realistic.
The recent decision of certain Budd
hist groups in the city to send com
fort kits to Canadian soldiers overseas
is an apt case in point. We do not
think it necessary to repeat in detail
what has already been written in these
columns on that subject. But we do
emphasize that we believe such a plan
to be an unnecessary duplication of
wax’ services already functioning undei' well-organized agencies. All six
organizations financed by the recent
War Services Drive have existing fa
cilities to minister to the comfort of
Canadian troops stationed in Great
Britain, the only country where Can
adians are serving overseas. There
should be little need for any small
group in the city adopting an inde
pendent scheme, which in the final
and realistic analysis, amount to little
more oxa a grandiloquent gesture.
The far more effectve and prac
tical plan for a community as econ
omically poor as we are, is to loan
every possible cent to the Govern
ment through war savings certifi
cates, and help swell the total funds
which the Government needs to win
the war, not merely to provide com
forts for its fighting manpower.
But if it be thought that an out
right donation in the country’s service
is more desirable, then there is a tre
mendous and grave need before the
Canadian people today. That need is
th maintenance of civilian morale in
Great Britain. And that in turn is
vitally affected by the measure of as
sistance given to the civilian popula
tion, whose matchless courage before
the maddened frenzy of total wax- has
written a new page into world history.
Current in Vancouver today is the
appeal for contributions to the Queen’s
Canadian Fund for air-raid victims,
and the Lord Mayor of London’s Fund.
Canadians of every race, status and
belief will approve most gratefully
contributions made to these funds,
both of which appeal on a plane higher
even than loyalty or patriotism, for
they ask in the name of suffering
humanity.
It is to be hoped that in future a
more realistic appraisal of existing
needs and^ methods of service will be
made before any action is taken.
The New Situation
U^HE continuing gravity of the war
1 situation in Europe has had at least
one very desirable result in Canada.
It has provided a strong impetus to
the people to subject our war effort
to a more searching and critical ex
amination than ever before.

Those Comfort Kits
TV PART from a number of very
1
shrewd business men, critics are
inclined to agree that the majority of
first generation Japanese are sadly
lacking in their ability to understand
the Canadain point of view. Differ
ences in training and heritage have
unfortunately left the average Issei
quite unable to grasp Canadian psy
chology. And viewed from the stand
point of a Canadian, the attitude of
many of the first generation, though
undoubtedly sincere and well-inten
tioned, is incredibly naive and un
realistic.
The recent decision of certain Budd
hist groups in the city to send com
fort kits to Canadian soldiers overseas
is an apt case in point. We do not
think it necessary to repeat in detail
what has already been written in these
columns on that subject. But we do
emphasize that we believe such a plan
to be an unnecessary duplication of
wax’ services already functioning undei' well-organized agencies. All six
organizations financed by the recent
War Services Drive have existing fa
cilities to minister to the comfort of
Canadian troops stationed in Great
Britain, the only country where Can
adians are serving overseas. There
should be little need for any small
group in the city adopting an inde
pendent scheme, which in the final
and realistic analysis, amount to little
more oxa a grandiloquent gesture.
The far more effectve and prac
tical plan for a community as econ
omically poor as we are, is to loan
every possible cent to the Govern
ment through war savings certifi
cates, and help swell the total funds
which the Government needs to win
the war, not merely to provide com
forts for its fighting manpower.
But if it be thought that an out
right donation in the country’s service
is more desirable, then there is a tre
mendous and grave need before the
Canadian people today. That need is
th maintenance of civilian morale in
Great Britain. And that in turn is
vitally affected by the measure of as
sistance given to the civilian popula
tion, whose matchless courage before
the maddened frenzy of total wax- has
written a new page into world history.
Current in Vancouver today is the
appeal for contributions to the Queen’s
Canadian Fund for air-raid victims,
and the Lord Mayor of London’s Fund.
Canadians of every race, status and
belief will approve most gratefully
contributions made to these funds,
both of which appeal on a plane higher
even than loyalty or patriotism, for
they ask in the name of suffering
humanity.
It is to be hoped that in future a
more realistic appraisal of existing
needs and^ methods of service will be
made before any action is taken.
The New Situation
U^HE continuing gravity of the war
1 situation in Europe has had at least
one very desirable result in Canada.
It has provided a strong impetus to
the people to subject our war effort
to a more searching and critical ex
amination than ever before.

Generations of
garden-lovers had finally ended in this immi

His father and
grandfather before him had tended their pots
of plants and dwarfed evergreens with fas

grubbed in the earth around flowers and
shrubs beautiful and fragrant, for other
people.
Now he sat there in his soiled overalls,
too tired to change before his dinner, sipping
tea contentedly.
“I enjoy life,” he continued, with satisfac

I envied him his serene acceptance of death

How limited our life would be if we knew

One day we raided his cousin s
apple orchard, and leisurely turned homeward,
clutching our spoils. (Time meant nothing

Will I ever forget the words that

My small heart had contracted with an

her unfriendly eyes. The whole glorious day
had been ruined, and there we were, two
innocents learning our first lesson in race

narrowness, Moran and I became inseparable
thereafter.
All the Morans of our childhood, do they
