attacking the Christmas Eve dance
held in Toronto, says in part:
It is a pity that we have been
spoon-fed and supervised all our
lives so that now in this crisis,
we are unable to make adult
decisions for ourselves but must
be told and scolded as before.
At this point, the writer makes
an about-face that nullifies her
earlier line of reasoning, which has
been logical and sound. . Instead of
rounding out her plea with a note
of finality, she takes upon herself
the responsibility of chiding the
niseis for their self-complacency.
She has fallen headlong into a trap
of her own making.
The writer might have driven
home her arguments more con

preaching tone and assumed the
attitude of a participant in the
struggle rather than that of a
skeptic on the outside looking in.
The writer fails to realize that
torrents of water have flowed un

preaching and sermonizing were

who try to dig up the past and
return to the pre-war mode of

experiences

evacuation and the subsequent re

Such an utterance comes with

peared a letter in which thewvriter,
attacking the Christmas Eve dance
held in Toronto, says in part:
It is a pity that we have been
spoon-fed and supervised all our
lives so that now in this crisis,
we are unable to make adult
decisions for ourselves but must
be told and scolded as before.
At this point, the writer makes
an about-face that nullifies her
earlier line of reasoning, which has
been logical and sound. . Instead of
rounding out her plea with a note
of finality, she takes upon herself
the responsibility of chiding the
niseis for their self-complacency.
She has fallen headlong into a trap
of her own making.
The writer might have driven
home her arguments more con
vincingly had she foresaken her
preaching tone and assumed the
attitude of a participant in the
struggle rather than that of a
skeptic on the outside looking in.
The writer fails to realize that
torrents of water have flowed un

preaching and sermonizing were
taken for granted. But now those
who try to dig up the past and
return to the pre-war mode of
thinking are bucking the tide. The
experiences

evacuation and the subsequent re
location have so enlarged the aver

thinking for them is resented. The
niseis in general have no use for

Such an utterance comes with

the niseis are grasping and groping
for a mooring in the storm. What
may be intended for guidance may
easily be taken for a slap in the
face. In this case, the commanding
voice the niseis had been waiting
to hear has turned out to be a mere
whisper in the dark.
The niseis are now passing over
