ple gave unstintingly of their time
and effort towards it.
At last it is 8:20 P.M. of Monday. February 12th and the scene
shifts to the Arcadian, one of
Toronto’s finest halls devoted ex
clusively to social gatherings. The
refreshments were safely in the
kitchen. Cabaret style tables, near
ly a hundred of them, beckoned in
vitingly with their snowy white
linen. At the orchestra stand a
composer was plunking a key here,
a key there checking last minute
arrangements. Two lovely young
lauies were discussing their songs
for the floor show with Doroiny
Fice, their pianist friend.
Now it is 9:30, and quite a. few
couples are already here. On every

our floor show.
Many tale n t e d entertainers,
some amateur, others profession
als, gladly gave their lime and
talents for our enjoyment.
Concluding the floor show was
the prize draw. Everyone wanted
to win the .first prize but as that
was impossible, we were glad the
coveted prize went to Mr. and Mrs.
Kawasoe who had come ail the
way from Waterloo for our dance.
They each received a Parker Life
time. guaranteed pen. The second
prize went to Fred Sasaki, who
won a beautiful wallet; and his
partner, Miss Riku Uno, who won
a lovely latest-style compact.
Dancing resumed again in full
swing and it was very evident
that everyone was enjoying him
self immensely because when the
home waltz was played at 12:30
most people could hirdly realize
that it was the end of such a pcrfeet evening, Many lingered on
and formed parties at various
tables.
Perhaps in the not too distant
future we can again welcome them
to enjoy the delights of a similar
cosmopolitan gathering. For as in
the words of our capable chair
man, Kinzie Tanaka, who by the
way, proved to be an up and com
ing master of ceremonies, “It is
a great thing when people of
many nationalities can come to
gether and enjoy one another’s
company in mutual respect and
dignity, and to forget the petty
differences and animosities, all too
prevalent today and glimpse a
society where all people will be
united in a common fellowship.”

1 he Role of the Church
(By Dr C. C. Lingard in the Winnipeg Free Press)
The fourth topic of major di

cerned the grave problem of racial
prejudice and discrimination and
the urgency of improved cultural
relations in the interests of future
international co-operation and sec
urity.
National spokesmen of the vari
ous countries represented at the
conference vied with one another

top-level official pronouncements
of policy. Discriminatory treat
ment in immigration policy, they
argued, was not based upon racial
prejudice, but on economic and
sociological grounds in orcer to
protect labor from low-wage com
petition and maintain a homo
geneous compunity. Such considerstions were the bases of the
“’White Australia” policy,, for ex
ample. While admitting the right
of each nation to determine its
own immigration policy, Asiatics
on the other hand urged such ad
justment as would eliminate dis
crimination on racial grounds.
The repeal of discriminatory
legislation dealing with the immi
gration of non-whites and the sub
stitution of the principle of recip

major requirement of the post-war
future. In the recent and pending
