Reporting the Facts
Such unexpected publicity lias been given
to a recent editorial from these columns that
it may be worthwhile to repeat the impor­
tant details of the argument we put forth.
Our editorial charged that when AttorneyGeneral R.L. Maitland declared in an Ottawa
press interview that British Columbia was
determined that we “should get out after
the war,” he was guilty of misrepresenting the
facts.
And what are these facts? They are cer­
tainly not of our own manufacture. Neither
are they vague, unsubstantiated rumours
of the type which the politicians love to
play up at our expense. ' Nor are they the
typical hysteria-imagined assertions charac­
teristic of the neurotic “holier-than-thou
attitude consistently displayed by a Vancou­
ver paper in its frequent attacks' upon us. The
facts are simply those presented by an inter­
nationally-recognized public organization,
whose methods of sampling public opinion are
credited with considerable scientific accuracy.
In the middle of February last the Cana­
dian Institute of Public Opinion released
through leading newspapers across the coun­
try tlie results of investigations conductied by
its research staff. The figures published by the
Institute provide us with the fact's.,
Fifty-nine per cent of the persons1 polled
across the country were definitely in favor of
allowing Canadian-born citizens of Japanese
origin to stay in Canada. Of the balance, 8 per
cent were undecided; and a minority of only
33 per cent expressed themselves in. favour of
expelling in some way or other this particular
group of citizens.
Discussing its investigations further, the
Institute wrote that it was an interesting
fact to Hud that British Columbia opinion was
not “out of line with national opinion" as
shown by these’ figures. The obvious conclu­
sion is that at least six persons in ten. even, in
the Pacific Coast province, do not believe that
Canadian citizens of Japanese ancestry
“should get/ out after the war.”
It is a striking demonstration that a maj­
ority of Canadians do not subscribe to a belief
in intolerant, undemocratic racial persecution.
And that, we may repeat here, is what keeps
us trying to be good’ Canadians in every sense
of the word.

For the Children’s Sake
Spring restlessness is evident again
throughout the Kootenays, reflected once
more in the serious consideration' being given
io the eastward trek.
A rough survey of opinion throughout
the interior settlements reveals that of all
groups most susceptible to the lure'of eastern
bright lights, none are more affected than the
substantial number of young women who have
been performing so creditably for the past
many months in the Security Commission's
classrooms.
There are indications that the mainten­
ance of adequate teaching’ staffs tor the inter­
ior schools—and thus the continued good re­
sults in the educational program—promises to
be a major problem in the interior towns, it is
a situation which naturally causes keen con­
cern among parents, for their interest in the
education of their children is one as wellknown as it is praiseworthy. But under the
inherent nature of interior town conditions,
it would seem that an adequate solution will
not readily be found.
It is on these grounds that a growing
number of parents seem to be leaning more
favorablv than before toward relocation as the

Citizenship - - A Nisei Definition

Eastern Matchmakers
When we were very young and under­
standably romantic, we used to snort in a
manner characteristic of youth at a good
many customs of our older people. We still
snort at a great many, although a good deal
less explosively and much more tolerantly.
But in one or two instances, that im­
patient disdain has been gradually trans­
formed by the alchemy of time, observation
and experience into something that amounts
almost to approval.
Thus it is that a recent announcement
from Toronto seems worthy of restrained
commendation. A committee of the older1
generation evacuees now living in that dtv
has, been formed. One of the chief services
which the committee hopes to render is in
the field of matchmaking. They have, in
fa'ct, gone so far as to make arrangements io
receive applications from those interested in
matrimony. And they are receiving moral
approval from, a large number of interested
people, and are being assisted in this work
by missionaries of the United Church who
have had long ‘experience working in the
former coastal comunities.
The older people are thus taking steps
to deal concretely with one of our major
social problems. Always present because of
economic and biological reasons, it has been
greatly aggravated by the disruption of the
past two years. And' while many of the
young people who might be concerned are
likely to scoff in no uncertain terms, it is
quite probable that underneath it all they
will appreciate the purpose of the Toronto
committee in seeking to bring together suit­
able young men and suitable young women
for the simple purpose of marriage.:
It has been said that love will find a
way. But love, it seems, is an emotion, pro­
cess ot function between two opposite ele­
ments which must be brought together into
an equation before they add up to or multi­
ply into something. And when the elements
have been so widely scattered as they have
in the past two years, it does seems true
that a little man-made interference might
bring together suitable portions of each so
that a happy whole might result.
At the same time we do admit that
although no longer voting and romantic,
it lias not been easy to write this, with
spring in rhe air as it is.
A news correspondent with the Fifth Army
recently garnered some incidental information regard­

Pacemakers in School Journalism
The four hundred some odd
pupils of the Lemon Creek School
all took a deep breath and blew
out an imaginary candle on April
7 to celebrate the first anniversary
of the school.
To commemorate this occasion,
the students have printed a special
issue of the “Scholastic”, edited by
the capable Akira Kimura and his
assistants.
This issue has surpassed all ex­
pectations—an assumption based
on the previous editions. The im­
provements and professional like
set up of the anniversary edition
indicates the great step forward
from practically nothing to a wor­
thwhile achievement. . Originally
equiped with only - the barest es­
sential materials, a small cash
donation from the P. T. A. and an
editorial staff of students and tea­
chers, most of whom who had no
previous experience in work of this
type, the “Scholastic” has hurdled
the many obstacles in its path
since the first edition came oft the
press in September 22, 1943, to
attain its present success. This
school newspaper would come in
the same category with many of
the better high school newspapers
in this writer’s opinion.
Modernistic straightline designs
and printing, attractive illustra­
tions on the pages by art editors
Noboru Matsuba and Tommy Shi­
mizu are one of the outstanding
features of this edition.
Editor Kimura shows sound jud­
gment in the placement and his
choice of congratulatory contribu­
tions from B.C.S.C. officials as
well as from sister schools of the
interior towns. Essays, club
doings, physical, social and educa­
tional activity reports are also in­

cluded .in the issue.
Within these pages is the his­
tory of the school since the first
school bell clanged on- the memor­
able day in April. No doubt mem­
ories both pleasant and, a few un­
pleasant ones, assailed the stu­
dents on thumbing through these
pages. Of coming to a damp, still­
green-lumber smelling classroom.
A room lighted by only two win­
dows
and
equiped with only
rough desks and chairs made in a
last minute rush by the carpen­
ters. Of their first encounter with
their inexperienced Nisei teachers
as Noboru Matsuba, writes with a
schoolboy imagery of the first
day at school: “This was' the time
when everybody else and I were as
quiet as mice. The room was like
a quiet calm ocean with its fishes,
and the teacher was like the
steamboat which would constantly
break the silence of the sea.”
One notes the quality of this
schoolboy journalism first with
surprise and admiration. But later
reflection brings a more confused
emotion—of pride and relief and
anger. Pride in the thought that
our growing children can give such
a demonstration of native intelli­
gence and talent. Relief in the
thought that all the unhappy
events of the past two years does
not seem seriously to have dimmed
their bright-eyed enthusiasm. And
anger in the thought of those who
are still so insufferably blinded by
their own prejudices that they can­
not see what is self-evident. Here,
surely, is human material which
needs only fair encouragement to
be of inestimable value to its own.
country. Does ' its color really
matter ?
—N. M.

Leadership in Canada
(From “Pull Together Canada”)
War is a revealing thing. Like
an X-ray, it shows symptons in the
body of a nation which in time of
peace are - not always so obvious.
Strains, too, are imposed which in
peace-time might be weathered, or
patched up, but which in the stress
of war may crack a nation s
strength.
Mr. Edison, as Secretary of rhe
U. S. Navy, says: “There is one
ingredient in national defence that
transcends all others. It is born of
the hearts of our people arid it
may be called National Character.
Without character and a deep-seat­
ed moral armament bred into the
fibre of our citizens, no matter in
what walk of life they may per­
form their tasks, there will be little
worth defending.”
The future of democracy depends
on whether men of sound character
will take their full responsibility
in a. nation’s life. Sound character
must- issue in constructive action;
and hard work, straight thinking,
clean living and faith in God will
give this nation the toughness tor

the years ahead. Character deve­
lops as we have the courage to
face facts and be honest, as we
refuse to allow our convictions
about what is right to be wetblanketed.
Men of Canada must be men o.
character, great enough to leas
without ambition, and to tram
others for leadership; great
to do an insignficant job witn a
passion
for
perfection;
greaenough to do the right thing v un­
cut waiting for orders.
For unscrupulous nations
a
hatred for our way of lite can ^
defeated only, by men who
consider moral standards mano-.
and who are triumphantly sure owhat they are fighting for.
We need to be sure now and li­
the future, whether in the C"--claves on Parliament Hili, or -t
debates in the .Union Hall:
St. James Street office or a. 3Iad
Street store; in the homes oi
ney. N. S. or of Victoria, B. C. ----character becomes the only -_fjcriterion of authority and. leaucship.

very Canadian Who Is

How

uyer Can Also Be

A Bond Salesman
EACH VICTORY LOAN CAMPAIGN HAS NOT ONLY SUCCEEDED IN ITS OBJEC­

TIVE, BUT HAS FOUND MORE AND MORE CANADIANS JOINING THE RANKS AS
BOND BUYERS. THIS NEW CALL IS MADE UPON US TO LEND AGAIN FROM
OUR SAVINGS AND EARNINGS. FOR EACH SUCCEEDING MONTH CONVINCES
ALL OF US THAT THE ONLY GUARANTEE OF VICTORY AND PEACE WILL BE
AN OVERWHELMING SUPPLY OF THE WEAPONS OF VICTORY.

BUT THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE ABLE TO BUY BONDS WHO HAVE NOT YET

BOUGHT EVEN ONE BOND.
THEREFORE COMES A NEW CALL TO NATIONAL SERVICE:

LET’S ORGANIZE OUR ARMY OF BOND BUYERS
SALESMEN.

LET’S

THE MOMENT EACH OF US HAS PURCHASED OUR NEW BOND,
INTO

AN

DO THREE THINGS:—

Tell our friends we have bought another bond.

2 Tell them WHY (because we have someone over there close to us, some­
one we are not going to let down—because we know that our freedom

is worth fighting for—because we have faith in Canadas futuie).

3 Tell them HOW. (Your friend may not have bought bonds because he
doesn’t

know

how.

Explain

that he can order from the Victory Loan

salesman, from any bank or trust company, or from local Victory Loan
headquarters.
Point out that Victory Bonds can be purchased for cash,
or in monthly instalments, or out of re gular payroll savings. Emphasize,
of course, that he is simply lending his money and his Victory Bond

is as good as cash in emergency.)
LET’S TALK VICTORY BONDS AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.
LET’S BACK OUR
BUYING AND FAITH BY OUR SELLING AND ENTHUSIASM.

IN TOTAL NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS.
