A loss of vital markets for primary products, an almost

already lie at the root of serious difficulties. Now we have
increased costs of living, rising prices of both staples and
semi-luxuries, and sharp jumps in direct taxation which
bear down on every individual without regard 'to racial
origin- Fortunately, however, the new budget does not hit
any particular group in the community beyond all propor
tion to the general rule.
It is quite true, however, that the burdens of a whole
range of increased taxation will weigh more heavily upon
the Japanese public, for the simple reason that we have seen

Some of us argue too coldly
upon economic foundations that are far from strong.
Reconsideration Needed
On the whole the Japanese community has accepted
as unavoidable and understandable the policy of military
authorities to exclude Canadian-born Japanese from com
pulsory military training. A new and disturbing angle to
the question, however, has arisen in regard to University of
British Columbia students, who for the past seven months
have been enrolled in the Officers Training Corps.
The completion of the course leading to a sub-lieutenantcy require practical training for at least two weeks in a
military camp. Applications by qualified Nisei students,
members of the Corps, for this training, have not been
accepted.
Whether the University or Military District authorities
are responsible for this attitude, it is not known. But there
is definitely an element of the incongruous, which the com
munity cannot but take with poor grace- If the students
were required during the year to spend several hours each
week in a study of military technique, and were invited to
attend practical demonstrations, it is certainly not logical
or reasonable now to prevent them, because of their race,
from bringing that study to some form of successful con
clusion. If admission to training camps was to be denied to
them, then it was a senseless thing to ask them to fritter
away precious time, following only a blind alley.
To the community or to the country generally, it is a
small matter. But it was the well-known straw that broke
the camel's back, and we have here simply another instance
of how a misguided policy is tending to alienate, rather than

his way all over the country, seeing and experiencing the life of a mT
born black, and finally hanging his' hat in the editorial room of th
Harlem Branch of a New York Newspaper.
Superficially, Native Son is a crime story of a cowardly, bullvinc
Negro adolescent, whose acts of brutal violence lead him to the electrichair.
But as' one turns the pages, he will find that the crime story
broadens into a human tragedy, for underlying the story of Bigg^
Thomas is the story of the whole negro race in the United States, unad
justed, unemployed, conditioned by fear and hatred. In the storv of
Biggar is "the familiar pattern of the thwarted, rebellious adolescent,'but
a pattern made immutable by the fact that Biggar's skin in black”. Then
is a gulf which separates black from white. In the words of Biggar
himself:
“Every time I think about it, I feel like somebody's poking a redhot iron down my throat. Goddamit, look! We live here, and they live
there. We black and they white. They got things and we ain't. They
do things and we can’t. It’s just like living in jail. Half the time I feel
like I'm on the outside of the world peeping through a knot-hole in the
fence.’’
True, taken from the technical point of view, the novel falls short
more than once of artistic perfection. It is guilty of sensationalism, of
reliance on Gothic effects, of stress on brutality, of reasoning which, at
times, seems beyond’ the mind of such a character as Biggar Thomas, but
these faults fall into insignificance before the overwhelming sincerity of
the author himself as he brings home to his readers the dangerous possi
bilities in the Negro situation as it exists today.
The story is a challenge to thinking people of the dangerous status
of the black man in America, told by a realist in utter frankness and with
sympathetic insight.

T JNLIKE Richard Wright’s novel which is a psychological document,
William Saroyan’s My Name is Aram is a series of extemporaneous
remarks centred around the boyhood of an Armenian lad, transplanted to
California in the years between 1915 and 1925.
Behind the figure of Aram, a full-blooded, two-fisted little rough
neck, whose adventures are related in sixteen little sketches, some beautiful,
some fair, some exceedingly bad—but all told with a naive blending of
spirituality and realistic cynicism, is the picture of a pioneer generation of
American born, whose roots are American, but whose traditional back
ground is the solid Armenian set of values---- a picture of a new American,
ever puzzling to his old world parents, and differing physically from his
American brethren.
And Saroyan, an Armenian immigrant himself, in his inimitable
manner, brings home to his readers the fact that in America, there are
many little Arams, growing up in a “lopsided environment . making
adjustments at times pathetic, at times humorous, at times ludicruous, at
times courageous, but growing up somehow, into Americans as staunch
as any American in the land.

Some of us argue too coldly
upon economic foundations that are far from strong.
Reconsideration Needed
On the whole the Japanese community has accepted
as unavoidable and understandable the policy of military
authorities to exclude Canadian-born Japanese from com
pulsory military training. A new and disturbing angle to
the question, however, has arisen in regard to University of
British Columbia students, who for the past seven months
have been enrolled in the Officers Training Corps.
The completion of the course leading to a sub-lieutenantcy require practical training for at least two weeks in a
military camp. Applications by qualified Nisei students,
members of the Corps, for this training, have not been
accepted.
Whether the University or Military District authorities
are responsible for this attitude, it is not known. But there
is definitely an element of the incongruous, which the com
munity cannot but take with poor grace- If the students
were required during the year to spend several hours each
week in a study of military technique, and were invited to
attend practical demonstrations, it is certainly not logical
or reasonable now to prevent them, because of their race,
from bringing that study to some form of successful con
clusion. If admission to training camps was to be denied to
them, then it was a senseless thing to ask them to fritter
away precious time, following only a blind alley.
To the community or to the country generally, it is a
small matter. But it was the well-known straw that broke
the camel's back, and we have here simply another instance
of how a misguided policy is tending to alienate, rather than
to secure support for the war effort. It goes without saying
that any such policy today is in immediate need of more
serious and broad consideration.

THERE is something incongruous in
the picture of a Nazi flag flying
above the Athenian Acropolis.
Yet
the thought is frightening. .
In ancient times, neither Darius nor
Xerxes managed to subdue the Greeks,
much less fly the Persian banner from
any Athenian square. In those days
the Greek people had much less mili
tary training than the mercenary
soldiers of the Persian satraps. Except
for the Spartans, they preferred the
pursuit of culture to the arts of war.
For centuries after, the battle of Mara
thon was an inspiring victory of a
democracy over a tryanny.
Now
Tryanny presides over the shades of
Themistocles, Miltiades, over Leonidas

Thermopylae.
Hitler, for the moment, has put his
mark on the ancient glories of Greece.
The modern descendants of Socrates
and Pericles have thrown in their
hand before the crushing juggernaut
of the panzer divisions.
Who can

Three Sundays ago, five "hikers" of the club at last made the

■of every description—the haven of skiers and the Mt. Baker of B. C.
The boys took full advantage of conditions and came home dead tired
and well-burnt from sun, snow and wind.
The full executive committee for the year will be as follows: Bus
Onori, president; Ray Takeuchi, vice-president; Ham Hagino, secretary;
Masaru Takasaki, treasurer; Bill Yasui, assistant treasurer; Sho Miyani

Sam Hagino, in charge of the 7th annual raffle, reports that all

Three Sundays ago, five "hikers" of the club at last made the
■much talked-about trip to Mt. Seymour. As foreseen they met a long,
■tireseme hike, but were more than rewarded with smooth treeless hills
■of every description—the haven of skiers and the Mt. Baker of B. C.
The boys took full advantage of conditions and came home dead tired
and well-burnt from sun, snow and wind.
The full executive committee for the year will be as follows: Bus
Onori, president; Ray Takeuchi, vice-president; Ham Hagino, secretary;
Masaru Takasaki, treasurer; Bill Yasui, assistant treasurer; Sho Miyani
shi, cabin manager; Kaiichi Nagata, assistant manager; Mary Shimizu
and Dave Yamaoka, social; Tom Hatanaka, publicity.
Sam Hagino, in charge of the 7th annual raffle, reports that all
tickets have been distributed and from all indications public response to
our once-a-year appeal is better than ever.
To all dance fans, remember the ated of our 7th annual Wind-up
Dance on May 23 at White Rose. It's the night before the big holiday,
'hen Fuji skiers can really go to town without having to think of the
Strenuous day ahead. So Join us to end the year right. Young and old,
in and out of town, everybody is welcome.
