Stress on Human Values
The CCF’s sweeping triumph in Saskatchewan hist week has been examined and
analysed by the editorial writers and political
observers of almost every newspaper in
Canada. The commonest reaction of "ortho­
dox” commentators has been to explain that
a desire for change teas the chief factor thatled to the complete smashing of the Liberal
party forces in a traditional Liberal strong­
hold. But they deny most vigorously that the
Socialist party’s victory mean's support in
Saskatchewan for socialist planning in Can­
ada, on the grounds that the CCF deliberately
soft-pedalled its advocacy of state ownership
and control of productive and distributive re­
sources in the country. ■

but which no amount of government or
oilier interference can accomplish.
To help in adjusting themselves to
some of the difficulties they might meet,
Rev. Shimizu called for a realistic under­
standing of the conditions of our times.
These are so distinctly abnormal in so many
respects that to look for things as they were
before the war and evacuation on the Paci­
fic Coast is a childish and foolish attitude.
A realistic understanding, however, can put
difficulties and apparent setbacks into a
perspective where they need not upset un­
duly the peace of mind or prospects for the
immediate or postwar future.
Rev. Shimizu’s sound advice is, of
course, not new. But it is important enough
to bear repeating. And it needs to be said in
many centres other than in Hamilton. No
doubt he has given it elsewhere, just as he
has been able on many occasions during the
past several months to lend his assistance
as a minister of the Gospel in cases of need.
There is an understandable wish gaining
ground, according to report, that he might
well continue with his present fruitful-work.

Students Come Back

Intermarriage in America

Some Children Have Been Outstanding
(Larry Tajiri in the
Pacific Citizen)
The brave new world of the
post-war future may take a more
enlightened view toward miscegeneration. To-day, of course, we
are still bound by outmoded con­
cepts in our social thinking. The
rigidity of the American attitude
toward intermarriage has been
legalized in ■ many states by laws
prohibiting unions between whites
and the various non_Caucasian
races. Most western states have
laws which prohibit marriages of
Orientals and Indians with -Cauca­
sians, while in the south a person
of Caucasian ancestry Alight mar­
ry one of Asiatic strain but not a
member of the Negro race. There
is as much consistency in our
marriage laws as there is ,in the
various state laws on divorce.
This matter of intermarriage is
specially timely at the moment be­
cause of an interesting by-product
of the military orders on the evac­
uation and exclusion of persons of
Japanese ancestry on the west
coast. This is the tacit recogni­
tion by the government and the
military of the validity of inter­
marriage, state regulations not­
withstanding. Although all persons
of Japanese ancestry on the west
coast were forced to evacuate un­
der - the orders issued by General
DeWitt in 1942, some families
were allowed to return to their
homes soon after. These were
what the army termed “mixed
marriage” cases. Since evacuation
some 500 persons, mostly women
and
children, of the original
112,000 evacuated, have been per­
mitted to return to the coast.
Almost
without
exception
the
women in these cases were married
to husbands not of Japanese an­
cestry. At first it appeared that
only Japanese American women
married to Caucasians could re­
turn, but it now appears that most
mixed marriage couples are so
favored.'
Among Japanese Americans the
rate of intermarriage is higher in
areas where there is relatively lit­
tle or no social discrimination, as
in Hawaii and along the Atlantic
seaboard.
Indicative of the har­
monious
racial
atmosphere
of
Hawaii is a recent note on the
society page of a Honolulu news­
paper which declared that a Chin­

ese American couple had announ­
ced the marriage of their Japanese
American ward to a soldier from
Massachusetts. Hawaii has uerhaps the highest intermarriage
rate among the various non.Haole
groups as well as 'between the
Haoles and non-Haoles. The color
line has become blurred in Hawaii
and it will be interesting to note
what effect the wartime migration
of thousands of west coast war
workers, and many thousands of
servicemen, will have on its racial
attitudes. Typical of the news in
the “society column” of a GI news­
paper in Hawaii is the item that
Cpl. Joe Doakes escorted Miss
Sumi Sasaki of the Main Street
Sasakis to a double feature and a
soda last Thursday.
One well-worn argument against
intermarriage is the fate of the
children of such marriages. In the
case of persons of Japanese ances­
try in America, however, the
children of mixed marriage have
perhaps exceeded many of their
fellow Americans in their accomp­
lishments. Isamu Noguchi is one of
the best-known of American scul­
ptors. , Sono Osato is the dancing
star of a popular Broadway musi­
cal comedy. Art Matsu is a football
coach at Rutgers. Eben Takamine,
the scientist, has done important
work in the development of peni­
cillin. And not to forget Sadakichi
Hartmann, artist/ poet, critic, and
the last of the Bohemians. Others
include an important New York
advertising executive, a union lea­
der, a star* of several Hollywood
movies, a golf- professional, a
newspaperman now overseas with
the U. S. army, a screen magazine
editor, as well as Count Kalergi,
now in the United States who is
an outstanding leader and publi­
cist in the movement for PanEurope.

Even up to two years ago it was still
possible for us to pick up the Vancouver
daily newspaper on a certain day in sum­
mer. and there to run carefully through the
long list of high school graduates for the
year. We could pick out all the Japanese
Canadian names for our news columns,
satisfied that our selected list of about fifty
names accounted for all of British Colum­
bia. and thus close to 100 per cent of second

—Grand Forks Gazette
Toronto, Ont.
Slocan City, B. C.
An explanation so widely offered by the
seasoned newspaper writers—of the Win­
nipeg Free Press, for instance—no doubtcarries some weight. But 'while it may be ar­
gued that the Saskatchewan farmer did not
consciously cast his ballot for the CCF in sup­
port of socialist doctrine,, there can be no
doubt that the election results reveal a signi­
ficant endorsement of the broad. - progressive
principles upon which the party’s political be­
liefs are founded. These are the principles
which manifest a sincere concern for the plight
of the common man caught up in the grip of
economic forces: the broad human principles
which have led the CCF ip other parts of
Canada to share with the Christian Church
and other truly liberal groups the valid convic­
tion that justice and common sense in public
policy can go far toward the solution of the
nation's perplexing racial minority problems.
