judge from the reports on the Northwest district conference
of the Japanese American Citizens' League held in Seattle
last week-end. Over 3 00 delegates arrived allegedly to confer on Nisei
questions. But a detached observer finds it odd that from the opening of
the convention at 7 :30 last Saturday night to 1 :00 a.m, Monday night,
5 3 Vo hours later, the intellectual “cream” of the Northwest Nisei had spent
the sum total of 2% hours in discussion on problems. 2 hours in a general
business session. The balance of the 5 3% hours was used, apart from
sleeping, in a welcome dance, the coronation of a Nisei queen, playing
golf, waving flags and blowing bugles, attending church, eating a banquet,
and dancing a farewell. Great show promoters, these Yanks!

By T. M. K.
There's a great deal to be said for
the “ethics” of a thing, a deed, an
outlook.
Human behaviour patterns follow
a definite rule, whether one is cons
cious of it or not. When one breaks
the rule there is generally a price to
be paid in embarrassment, shame,
contrition,
regret.
remorse.
and
downright guilt. Even the eccentric
obeys the laws, and while appearing
to flout all ethics, all conventions,
follows a set line because he knows
he can go only so far before being
encased in a strait-jacket, or put
behind bars.
But somewhere, between the last
war and this one, we lost sight of
our ethical principles, some more
badly than others. To our private yj^E can't help thinking that the English editor of the Seattle Great

judge from the reports on the Northwest district conference
of the Japanese American Citizens' League held in Seattle
last week-end. Over 3 00 delegates arrived allegedly to confer on Nisei
questions. But a detached observer finds it odd that from the opening of
the convention at 7 :30 last Saturday night to 1 :00 a.m, Monday night,
5 3 Vo hours later, the intellectual “cream” of the Northwest Nisei had spent
the sum total of 2% hours in discussion on problems. 2 hours in a general
business session. The balance of the 5 3% hours was used, apart from
sleeping, in a welcome dance, the coronation of a Nisei queen, playing
golf, waving flags and blowing bugles, attending church, eating a banquet,
and dancing a farewell. Great show promoters, these Yanks!

J^APIDlA
By T. M. K.
There's a great deal to be said for
the “ethics” of a thing, a deed, an
outlook.
Human behaviour patterns follow
a definite rule, whether one is cons
cious of it or not. When one breaks
the rule there is generally a price to
be paid in embarrassment, shame,
contrition,
regret.
remorse.
and
downright guilt. Even the eccentric
obeys the laws, and while appearing
to flout all ethics, all conventions,
follows a set line because he knows
he can go only so far before being
encased in a strait-jacket, or put
behind bars.
But somewhere, between the last
war and this one, we lost sight of
our ethical principles, some more
badly than others. To our private yj^E can't help thinking that the English editor of the Seattle Great
Northern Daily pulled a prize boner, when he ran these lines beneath
sorrow and general dismay, morals

THE NEW CANADIAN
SHOWDOWN IN THE PACIFIC
American-Japanese showdown, which for many months loomed
^ Pacific horizon like a tropical thundercloud, appears close at hand.
Phdhht of an apparent American determination to send large supplies
5 war goods to the Soviet Union by way of the Siberian*port of Vladivos^u- Japan is faced with a bitter choice.
Shall it acquiesce in the shipments, thereby morally bruising its
Axk pact with Germany and Italy and permitting its vast and potentially
^ngerous neighbor to harvest new' strength? Or, shall it seek to stop
^shipments running the very real risk of war not only with the Soviet
Onion but also with the United States and Great Britain?
$o serious has the crisis become that the Japanese Premier, Prince
Konoye, has taken the rare step of sending a personal note to President
Roosevelt. Nor has this Government made any attempt to minimize or
conceal the moment's gravity. Withdrawing not one inch before con
tinued Japanese mutterings over shipments to Vladivostok,” this Govern
ment has permitted ships to sail for that port, rejecting informal Japanese
protests on the matter.
*
Ample Room for Manoeuvering
n
Bi
nas
al
Despite the increased tension, however, there is no conviction in
Washington that a showdown would lead to hostilities. Not only are
President Roosevelt and Japanese Ambassador Kichisaburo Nomura
negotiating the problem face to face but there is believed to be ample
room yet for skillful diplomatic manoeuvering.
As viewed unofficially here, Japan has a certain amount of right
and reason in desiring to keep American aid to Soviet Russia, at least
that part of the aid which goes through Vladivostok, at a minimum.
Although Japan's present difficulties are held to be almost entirely of
Japan's making, it is recognized that the existence of powerful Red
Army and Air Force units in Eastern Siberia are undoubtedly disturbing
to Japanese civilians and officials.
In the light of this fact, the suggestion has been advanced here
that the American and Russian Governments might undertake to assure
Tokyo that American supplies would be used against the Germans only
and that they would not go to build up Russian offensive might in the
area where the only likely Russian foe would be Japan.
Conversely, Japan might be asked to give assurance, compatible
with the recent R.usso-Japanese non-aggression pact, not to move against
Siberia.
Three courses are considered open to Japan at this time:
1. To persist in further expansion, moving either against Eastern
Siberia or against the British and Netherlands East Indies.
2. To adopt a "wait and see" policy, making no decisions and
biding its time.
3. To withdraw from th§ Axis and seek a rapprochement with
the western democracies.
Several Schools of Thought
Shortly after the Japanese occupation of French Indo-China, Under
secretary of State Sumner Welles indicated this Government's belief that
Japan would follow the First alternative, when he characterized the
occupation as a prelude to further and more obvious aggression. At the
same time, there are a number of Far Eastern experts in Washington who
believe that Tokyo is fully aware that, with Russia unconquered and with
American, British and Netherlands strength on the rise in the Far East,
this course bristles with potential disaster for Japan.
These same experts contend that a "wait and see" policy would
also be eminently unsatisfactory from the Japanese point of view at this
stage of the international game.
Not only will the increasing strength of the western democracies
inexorably shift the Far Eastern balance of power against Japan week by
week but the American-British Empire-Netherlands Indies embargo
against trade with Japan will cause a steady worsening in Japan's already
difficult economic position.
Thus while a continuation of aggression might well bring armed
conflict with the West, an attempt to tread water may seem equally
bad to Japanese eyes.
Nor is there much hope here of inducing Japan to abandon the
Axis without offering it concessions which neither Washington nor
London appears ready to give.
Nevertheless, the current AmericanJapanese talks, to which Prime Minister Winston Churchill recently gave
his public blessing, are believed aimed at evolving a formula acceptable
to both sides.
If these talks fail and Japan either moves toward the Netherland
Indies or attempts to hinder American shipments to Russia, the day of
reckoning in the Far East will come perilously near. The brightest spot
in the picture is the evident desire of both the United States and Japan
to avoid such a day if possible.

THE NEW CANADIAN
SHOWDOWN IN THE PACIFIC
American-Japanese showdown, which for many months loomed
^ Pacific horizon like a tropical thundercloud, appears close at hand.
Phdhht of an apparent American determination to send large supplies
5 war goods to the Soviet Union by way of the Siberian*port of Vladivos^u- Japan is faced with a bitter choice.
Shall it acquiesce in the shipments, thereby morally bruising its
Axk pact with Germany and Italy and permitting its vast and potentially
^ngerous neighbor to harvest new' strength? Or, shall it seek to stop
^shipments running the very real risk of war not only with the Soviet
Onion but also with the United States and Great Britain?
$o serious has the crisis become that the Japanese Premier, Prince
Konoye, has taken the rare step of sending a personal note to President
Roosevelt. Nor has this Government made any attempt to minimize or
conceal the moment's gravity. Withdrawing not one inch before con
tinued Japanese mutterings over shipments to Vladivostok,” this Govern
ment has permitted ships to sail for that port, rejecting informal Japanese
protests on the matter.
*
Ample Room for Manoeuvering
n
Bi
nas
al
Despite the increased tension, however, there is no conviction in
Washington that a showdown would lead to hostilities. Not only are
President Roosevelt and Japanese Ambassador Kichisaburo Nomura
negotiating the problem face to face but there is believed to be ample
room yet for skillful diplomatic manoeuvering.
As viewed unofficially here, Japan has a certain amount of right
and reason in desiring to keep American aid to Soviet Russia, at least
that part of the aid which goes through Vladivostok, at a minimum.
Although Japan's present difficulties are held to be almost entirely of
Japan's making, it is recognized that the existence of powerful Red
Army and Air Force units in Eastern Siberia are undoubtedly disturbing
to Japanese civilians and officials.
In the light of this fact, the suggestion has been advanced here
that the American and Russian Governments might undertake to assure
Tokyo that American supplies would be used against the Germans only
and that they would not go to build up Russian offensive might in the
area where the only likely Russian foe would be Japan.
Conversely, Japan might be asked to give assurance, compatible
with the recent R.usso-Japanese non-aggression pact, not to move against
Siberia.
Three courses are considered open to Japan at this time:
1. To persist in further expansion, moving either against Eastern
Siberia or against the British and Netherlands East Indies.
2. To adopt a "wait and see" policy, making no decisions and
biding its time.
3. To withdraw from th§ Axis and seek a rapprochement with
the western democracies.
Several Schools of Thought
Shortly after the Japanese occupation of French Indo-China, Under
secretary of State Sumner Welles indicated this Government's belief that
Japan would follow the First alternative, when he characterized the
occupation as a prelude to further and more obvious aggression. At the
same time, there are a number of Far Eastern experts in Washington who
believe that Tokyo is fully aware that, with Russia unconquered and with
American, British and Netherlands strength on the rise in the Far East,
this course bristles with potential disaster for Japan.
These same experts contend that a "wait and see" policy would
also be eminently unsatisfactory from the Japanese point of view at this
stage of the international game.
Not only will the increasing strength of the western democracies
inexorably shift the Far Eastern balance of power against Japan week by
week but the American-British Empire-Netherlands Indies embargo
against trade with Japan will cause a steady worsening in Japan's already
difficult economic position.
Thus while a continuation of aggression might well bring armed
conflict with the West, an attempt to tread water may seem equally
bad to Japanese eyes.
Nor is there much hope here of inducing Japan to abandon the
Axis without offering it concessions which neither Washington nor
London appears ready to give.
Nevertheless, the current AmericanJapanese talks, to which Prime Minister Winston Churchill recently gave
his public blessing, are believed aimed at evolving a formula acceptable
to both sides.
If these talks fail and Japan either moves toward the Netherland
Indies or attempts to hinder American shipments to Russia, the day of
reckoning in the Far East will come perilously near. The brightest spot
in the picture is the evident desire of both the United States and Japan
to avoid such a day if possible.
