TORONTO, Ont.
Under process of formal organi
zation the past few weeks in Tor
onto has been the Japanese Cana
dian Committee for Democracy. It
is the first real occasion since the
fateful days of and after Decem
ber 7, 1941, that any group of
Canadian Nisei have aroused en
ough interest in themselves and
their fellow Nisei, to launch an
organization of the type that was
represented in the late <
the Japanese Canadian Citizens
League. A great deal of criticism
had been leveled at that League,
but most of it on the negative
side. Looking at it fairly and objectively, the JCCL of pre-Pearl
Harbor days did serve a very good
purpose. It laid a good ground-
has necessarily made the progres
sive and thinking Nisei broach the
question on a much broader front.
THE CRITICS
Critics of the Japanese Canadian.
Committee for Democracy and the
actions that tney have taken a!re
to be expected. It is hardly pos
sible that an organization such as
this would have the unanimous
and unquestioning support of all
the Nisei. There has never been
such an organization in the pas
that attained such status, and
therefore it is of no surprise that
this new organization should be
the object of much adverse criticsism, whether the critics are inlormed or not. Because the first
executive in the past year project
ed a line of thinking that is so far
removed from that which we have
all been accustomed to in pre-war
days, it has received from the
Nisei population every degree of
criticism, from constructive to des
tructive. Those that have always
thought in an active democratic
way have hailed and supported
this line of action as something
that the Nisei community have
been awaiting for a long time.
Others have expressed the opinion
that this Committee has taken too
much on its hands, without tne
consultation of the Nisei in other
centres. Still others believe that
the Committee is endangering the
unity of the Japanese people in
Canada.
Now it should be clear to any
understanding person that this
type of organization cannot pos
sibly and does not claim to express the opinions of every
shade of Nisei thinking in
ada. This organization was developed because of the realization
of this very fact. And should it
try to undertake such a line of
action, its purpose would be nullifted even before it got started.
You cannot take a progressive
line of thinking on the one hand
and then take a reactionary
stand on the line and still res
pect yourself.
DEMOCRATIC POLICY
With this principle in mind, our
constitution was drawn up. As the
constitution states in the pream
ble: “The fundamental principles
of democracy shall always govern
the policy of this organization.”

Under process of formal organi
zation the past few weeks in Tor
onto has been the Japanese Cana
dian Committee for Democracy. It
is the first real occasion since the
fateful days of and after Decem
ber 7, 1941, that any group of
Canadian Nisei have aroused en
ough interest in themselves and
their fellow Nisei, to launch an
organization of the type that was
represented in the late <
the Japanese Canadian Citizens
League. A great deal of criticism
had been leveled at that League,
but most of it on the negative
side. Looking at it fairly and objectively, the JCCL of pre-Pearl
Harbor days did serve a very good
purpose. It laid a good ground-
has necessarily made the progres
sive and thinking Nisei broach the
question on a much broader front.
THE CRITICS
Critics of the Japanese Canadian.
Committee for Democracy and the
actions that tney have taken a!re
to be expected. It is hardly pos
sible that an organization such as
this would have the unanimous
and unquestioning support of all
the Nisei. There has never been
such an organization in the pas
that attained such status, and
therefore it is of no surprise that
this new organization should be
the object of much adverse criticsism, whether the critics are inlormed or not. Because the first
executive in the past year project
ed a line of thinking that is so far
removed from that which we have
all been accustomed to in pre-war
days, it has received from the
Nisei population every degree of
criticism, from constructive to des
tructive. Those that have always
thought in an active democratic
way have hailed and supported
this line of action as something
that the Nisei community have
been awaiting for a long time.
Others have expressed the opinion
that this Committee has taken too
much on its hands, without tne
consultation of the Nisei in other
centres. Still others believe that
the Committee is endangering the
unity of the Japanese people in
Canada.
Now it should be clear to any
understanding person that this
type of organization cannot pos
sibly and does not claim to express the opinions of every
shade of Nisei thinking in
ada. This organization was developed because of the realization
of this very fact. And should it
try to undertake such a line of
action, its purpose would be nullifted even before it got started.
You cannot take a progressive
line of thinking on the one hand
and then take a reactionary
stand on the line and still res
pect yourself.
DEMOCRATIC POLICY
With this principle in mind, our
constitution was drawn up. As the
constitution states in the pream
ble: “The fundamental principles
of democracy shall always govern
the policy of this organization.”
