Finest Leader in World No Good
Masaoka
Without Public Support'
By JACK T. OKI
TORONTO.—A thoroughly impressed audience of more
than 800 people filed out of the Labor Lyceum on Sunday
night. August 31, after hearing an inspiring address de­
livered by Mike Masaoka.
Masaoka, national legislative director of the JACL-ADG,
is without doubt the best Nisei speaker we have heard. As
one of the Nisei leaders expressed it: “The show was someth ins- without precedent in Canadian Nisei histor y”
Masaoka's
appearance
was
sponsored by the first National
Japanese Canadian Conference.
In relating the history of the
American Nisei organizations,
Masaoka stressed not only the im­
portant work done in the past, but
also the vast amount of work yet
to be done. He vowed:
STILL WORK TO DO
"As long as there is a chance
of any minority being discrimi­
nated against in any way be­
cause of race, color, or creed,
then there still will be work for

just because certain people have
black hair and a peculiar slant
to their eyes, they are not
singled out for unjust treat­
ment.
“Our first great decision was
the evacuation,” said Masaoka.
He told of the JACL leaders' deci­
sion to co-operate with the gov­
ernment since evacuation was in­
evitable. By co-operating, they
believed the American govern­
ment would give the evacuees a
better deal than if they had re­
sisted.
CALLED MOSES MASAOKA
“I was called 'Moses’ Masaoka
because I led the people from
the cities to the barracks and
'■ the Indian lands,” he said. "We
encountered much opposition.
Leaders were beaten up. Our
president (Saburo Kido) was
hospitalized for 30 days. Many
of us were burned in effigy.
“We believed we had a duty to
tell all America about one group
of people who were made scape­
goats, and that in the end our
policy would pay. Today we stand
vindicated.”
ONE BROTHER KILLED
IN LAST WAR
In citing the outstanding war
record of the American Nisei,
Masaoka was able to give first­
hand information since he is a
veteran of the 442nd. Four of his
brothers were also in the service.
One was killed overseas, one was
wounded and has had 33 opera­
tions, but will not walk again.

WASHINGTON.—Strongly pro­
testing the refusal of British

to permit Hawaiian Nisei seamen
ashore in ■ Vancouver, the local
office of the Japanese American
Citizens’ League has asked tor an
investigation of the situation by
the Canadian Embassy.
In a personal representation to
Thomas A. S'tone, minister to the
United States from Canada and

governing that section of Can­
ada,” the minister stated.

By JACK T. OKI
TORONTO.—The first National Conference of Japanese
Canadian organizations' adjourned Tuesday, September 2,
after four days and one night of meeting. As the tired
delegates from British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, On­
tario and Quebec, slowly left Toronto for their homes, they
took with them a sense of accomplishment.
The first national Japanese Canadian organization has
been formed.
, <
Provisionally named
"The
Japanese

Citizens’
Association,” the national group
is headed by Roger Obata of
Toronto as the first president.

nipeg, were elected first and
second vice-presidents respec­
tively. Kyoto Shigehiro of Ray­

Under the constitution approv­
ed by the conference, the execu­

A terse eighteen-word telegram from Salmon Arm, B.C.,
on Monday morning brought the tragic news of the death
of Shuichi
To Canadian Nisei, his friends and
sti angeis, it will be a sad loss of one who- was ah inspiration
to them.
i' Ui'a-v
The short career of Shuichi Kusaka already'held great
promise for years to come. Only recently he had edited
and revised the new edition of “Einstein—His Life and
lime. ’ As a physicist, in his undergraduate and graduate
studies in the universities of Canada and United States,
Dr. Kusaka set a brilliant record and was highly regarded
; m the top circles of U.S. scientists. Prior to enlisting in
the United States Army as a private, he was a lecturer in
physics at the famed Smith College in Massachusetts.
Japanese Canadians will remember him more closely as
the Hist and only Nisei winner of the -Governor-General’s
medal at the time of his graduation from the Universitv
of British Columbia. .Former students of Britannia High
School in Vancouver will remember his name on the placard
listing the scholarship winners for the individual years in
the auditorium of that school. The name of Shuichf Kusaka
was synonymous tor high scholarship and an inspiration to
the younger Nisei.
Although he became a United States citizen, Japan-bor:n
Dr. Kusaka was at heart a Canadian Nisei. His loss will
be deeply mourned by Nisei, Canadians and Americans, and
otheis in the exclusive circle in which he moved.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR

More About Vital Statistics
A letter has been received from Mr. Howard T. Pammett of the
Department of Labor at Ottawa commenting on last week’s New
Canadian editorial on the trend of the Japanese Canadian population.
He says:
“I was quite interested in your editorial on vital statistics in your
' issue of August 30. as based on the birth, marriage and death notices
in your newspaper during 1946 and the first part of 1947. I am afraid,
however, that they are rather shaky statistics upon which to build up
any real analysis of sociological trends among the Japanese in Canada.
"No doubt yours are the best available figures on marriages,
but so far as births and deaths are concerned, the official statis­
tics have been kept by the Department of Labor and the RCMP
,
at Vancouver since 1941, month by month. These statistics­
reveal that during 1946 there were 370 births and 132 deaths
among those of Japanese origin in Canada, and in the first four
months of 1947 there were 156 births and 37 deaths. .Since

One week recently the Vancouver Sun displayed an
article stating that persons of Japanese origin were flying
on observation trips over the Gulf of Georgia and no one
was especially worried. The paper was referring to a group
of touring Hawaiian* which included Japanese Americans.
Next week the same paper reported that three Hawaiian
seamen of Japanese ancestry had been debarred from shore

The Value of the Franchise

(A Saturday Night Editorial)
If anybody doubts the value, in a democratic country, of the posses­
sion of the franchise as a defence for any class in the community and
the terrible handicap imposed by the loss of the franchise, it is only
necessary' to. consider . the difference between the treatment of ths
Ukrainian-and. the. Japanese victims of the operations of the Custodian
of alien enemy property. (That neither the Ukrainians nor the Japa­
nese were necessarily alien enemies did not prevent Parliament from
handing over their property' to this Custodian.)
The Uki ainians, after a long and difficult struggle in which their
very competent organization had much to do with their eventual
success, received in the long run a very reasonably satisfactory com­
pensation. The Japanese, who have been deprived of the franchise
in tire province where most of them were domiciled and have not
had time to make themselves a. political force in more democratic
provinces, seem likely' to receive practically' no compensation at all,
The order-in-council providing for the examination of their claims
as made public, no doubt by' the purest accident, at a moment when
it was bound to receive a minimum of comment in the press and none
in Parliament. It falls immensely short of the similar provision made
by the United Scales for Japanese Americans, and of the undertaking
oiN en by the Prime Minister in January' that “the Government is
pi epared in cases where it can be shoNvn that a sale was made at
less than a fair market value to remedy the injustice.” It makes it
-mpossible for any claimant to succeed unless he can prove that the
Custodian failed to use reasonable care in disposing of the property.
It thus excludes all claims in respect to property lost, disposed of
oi senously depreciated before the Custodian was able to take charge.
It allows nothing for sales made by' the Custodian at prices far below
the fair market value, if that low price was merely’ the result (as it
fi equently was) of the peculiar circumstances in which the sales
were made.
?° ^e^r^ve £uiy class of citizens of the franchise is to deprive them
of theii best and perhaps their only effective hope of obtaining justice.
In a mixed democracy, the majority’ is made up of assorted minorities,
a. ho tend to be solicitous about one another's rights in the faith that
each ot them will get similar treatment when its own rights are up
for consideration. This factor does not operate in favor of a minority
which has no franchise. There remains then nothing but the sense
decency', which does not always operate as effectively as it should.

travel and residence controls were lifted east of the Rockies in
April last, we have birth and death figures only for British
Columbia.
“Taking the number of Japanese as 20,000, the 1946 rates are:
Biiths. 19.5 per thousand: deaths. 6.6 per thousand. These are still,
of coursp.' below the national rates as provided by the Canada Year
Book: the figure for births in the first four months of 1947, however,
seems to be increasing toward normal.
“I will be interested in reading any further prognostications vou
may be making in the paper, based on the corrected statistics as given
above. I have been aware of the desire for accuracy in your paper
oier the last six years, which is why i have sent forward the official
figures.
Yours truly,

We thank Mr. Pammett for his helpful interest in providing us
with the official figures for the vital statistics of the Japanese Cana­
dians for 1946 and early part of this year. Our statistics expert is
pleased to find also, that his conclusions based on the “shaky' statis­
tics ’ laboriously combed from back issues of The New Canadian are
pretty well substantiated by Mr. Pammetfs.-more reliable ones. ’

Claims Inquiry Question

boycott of Claims Commission
tNot Practical Agrees Confab
By JACK T. OKI

TORONTO.—Latest developments in the evacuee loss
claims inquiry case were reported to the national conference
J Japanese Canadian orgaTiizations last weekend in Toronto,
hr'George Tanaka, chairman of the Toronto JCCD, and
Andrew Brewin, legal counsel for the Toronto Co-operative
Committee.
a yjore than 650 claims were
‘ filed out in the door to door suri- in Toronto, Tanaka revealed.
vey
These •showed a total loss of over
02e million dollars.
Throughout Canada, a total of
ever 1.370 claim forms were filled,
whh an estimated total of 1,7002 >i00 claims.

In 3 breakdown of the claims,
out of 549, 74.3 percent were
fe properties sold by the Custodian without the owner’s conssnt_ -;8.4 percent were cases
where owners were forced to
sell due to necessity and a lack
of an alternative, and 7.3 per­
cent were property still unac­
counted for.
brewin report

‘•The Fraser Valley farm own­
ers have a good- chance to be re­
imbursed.” stated Andrew Brewin
in his report on the claims com­
mission to the conference: on Mondav. Sept. 1.
“Though I do think the terms
of reference unjust, it is hard
for me to advise you whether to
boycott the commission or not.
Some claims would not have
much hope, but the chances are
not hopeless. The presentation
of cases in instances where they
have little chance would not be
wasted. Even if they lost, the
information gathered would be
useful for further action.

“Governments are hard to sway.
They are not as susceptible to
public pressure as one would hope
for. In an instance like this, a
chance must be taken.
“The cost of presenting the
claims before the commission
would be $10,000. After consider­
ing the amount of work involved,
it would be the minimum figure.”
RECOMMENDATION FROM
NATIONAL CONFERENCE
It was unanimously agreed by
the conference that the following
recommendation be made to the
people concerning the claims’ com­
mission inquiry:
“Since the National Council
has already strongly protested
to the government about the
narrow terms of reference, and
since the proposal of a 100 per­
cent boycott of the claims commission
impossible fromi a
practical standpoint, the National Council recommends that
the property owners, under the
present terms of reference, file
their claims under protest to the
commission.
"This recommendation is made|
with the intention that as
further evidence is accumulated
from the hearings, and other
sources, a further stronger pro­
test will be lodged with the gov­
ernment for the purpose of
widening the terms of refer­
ence.”

‘Tn our course of action we must forget individual gain. ,We must
have a combined effort, and all individuals should be responsible.
“We must strive, not only for the welfare of the Japanese Cana­
dians. but for all minority groups. We must study and understand
their problems as well as our own.”—Edward Ide of London, Ont.,
welcoming the delegates for the host Ontario group, at the first session.
*
*
*
*
“Do not appease too much. If you believe it is right, go
ahead with it. The public will follow. Your policies must be
for the good of the people. Even if the results are not immediate,
as leng as you gain the desired end, that is What counts.”—
Mike Masaoka.
“The Co-operative Committee will continue to support whole­
heartedly the Japanese Canadians and will continue the fight for
their rights.”—Mrs. Hugh MacMillan, secretary of the Toronto Co­
operative Committee on Japanese Canadians.
*
*
*
*
Asked in the question period at the Labor Lyceum meeting whether
the Japanese American Citizens League had any women on the execu­
tive: "During the war years and until recently, we couldn't ask the
iii’is io stay at the places the JACL executives have had to stay at,
hue to finances. However, some of our best chapter presidents are

mittee delegate.

Shuichi Kusaka Drowned Sunday
WINNIPEG, Man.—Death by
drowning on Sunday, August 31,
at Princeton, New Jersey, has
suddenly cut short the brilliant
career of Dr. Shuichi Kusaka,
a faculty member of Princeton
University and one of the best
known of all Canadian Nisei.
No word has yet been received

DR. SHUICHI KUSAKA
concerning the details of the ac­
cident. Funeral services, how­
ever, will be held at Princeton
on Wednesday, September 10.

Dr. Kusaka had joined the De­
partment of Physics of the noted
university only last year, follow­
ing his discharge from the L'nited
States Army. American citizen­
ship had been conferred upon him
in recognition of his wartime
services.
Although born in Japan. Dr. Ku­
saka came to live in Vancouver
with his parents. Dr. and ?»Irs.
Kusaka, while still a babe in
arms. He attended Strathcona
public school and Britannia high
school, graduating from the latter
in 1933 with a scholarship to pro­
ceed to the University of British.
Columbia.
During his four years at the

University he established a bril­
liant scholastic record in fol­
lowing up studies in mathemat­
ics and physics. Upon his gradu­
ation in 1937 he won the Gover­
nor-General’s gold medal for
leading the entire graduating
class of the University.
Accepting a scholarship from
the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, Dr. Kusaka entered
-post-graduate work at that famed
institution and completed his Mas­
ter of Science degree in 1938.
From there he proceeded to the
California Institute of Technology
where he engaged in research in
theoretical physics under the fa­
mous Dr. R. J. Oppenheimer, who
later directed the Los Alamos
laboratories in the development
of the atomic bomb. After receiv­
ing his Ph.D. from California, Dr.
Kusaka went to the Institute of
Advanced Study, the ranking in­
stitution for research in pure sci­
ence at Princeton, where Albert’
Einstein has carried on his work
for the past several years.
Upon leaving the Institute,
Dr. Kusaka joined the faculty
of Smith College, Northampton,
Mass. Although technically in­
admissible to wartime service,
after repeated efforts he was
successful in being admitted to
the United States Army, serv­
ing during the war in a techni­
cal capacity at the Aberdeen
Proving Grounds in Maryland.
Upon his discharge he accepted
a position with the Department
of Physics at Princeton Uni­
versity.
Although a brilliant scholar in.
a highly abstruse field, Dr. Kusa­
ka had many and varied interests.
He had studied at the Alexander
Japanese Language School, visit­
ed in Japan, attended student con­
ferences. and was an active ten­
nis player and golfer. He had re­
turned to Canada to visit Nisei
friends in Toronto and Montreal
twice in the past two years.
He leaves his parents and sis•ter. who are reported safe and
well in Japan, and a sister, Mrs.
K. Iwata, of Salmon Arm, B.C.

both games were punctuated by
rain, the wet grou n d s and
slippery balls hindering the pitch­

by costly Bomber errors piled up

Against Lefty Kimoto’-s steady

11 hits in the five innings of play,
but was never in serious trouble

Although, the Bombers settled
down after that with Fred Matsuo
doing some effective hurling, the
game was an easy walkover. Man­
ager Frank Yahiro paced the
Maroons with a 3 for 4 record in
the batting parade. Sammy Mat­
suo kept the Bomber hits down
to a meagre two.
In the Kayo-Diamond Sox affair,
the Sox took a 2-run lead in the
first inning sparked by hits from
Mac Otsu and manager Don Ta­
katsu. The lead see-sawed all the
way, but when the Kayos clinched
two runs in their half of the sixth
to make the score 7-5, the game
was
theirs.
Tucker Yamano,
young left-fielder, was top Kayo
batter with a 3 for 4 record.
Every Kayo player picked up a
hit in their 12-hit total. Ike Oka
and Takatsu shared mound duties
for the Sox while Toru Suzuki and
Slug Okumura hurled for the
winners.

their spot.

COMMENTS: The Kayo-Maroon fuial^
should be somehting to watch. Kayos
dominated the league schedule with a
hustling team that hit in the clutches,
'vuuung 8 and losing 2. While Maroons
tied with Bombers for second nlaca
with a 5-win-5-loss record, their lineup
is dotted with All-Star faces and ’ tho
Maroon infield is., the sweetesUworking
in the league.
The test will be between the stronger
pitching and clutch hitting of the Kayos
against the smooth fielding and long bats
of key Maroons.
Bombers suffered greatly when their
ace pitcher, Dick Okumura, banged some
fingers severely just before the week-end.
This cost them their strongest pitching
as well as some long-range Okumura
slugging. Iron man Bred Matsuo and
spayk-piug Sam Yoshino did their best
to hypo the Bombers and the crowd .was
for them all the way in the Labor Daygame.
Sueo Takeuchi, Maroon catcher, gavo
the fans a thrill with a big long homo
run in the Labor Day game. All four
semi-final games were marked with long
hitting by all teams. The playoffs should
see more with both Kayos and Maroons
having some of the top batters of tho
loop.—F.

SOFTBALL STATISTICS
This year for the first time the
London Nisei Organization entered
a softball team in the city’s Re­
creational Open Softball League,
Group 1. an eight-team loop. The
initial season was not a too suc­
cessful one on the playing field
since the Nisel-s finished second
from cellar spot, but the entry
did much to promote good rela­
tions with other Canadians.
Uniformed in maroon and gold
sweaters with “Nise-s” in script
across the front, the team put on
a good show. Only non-Nisei on
the team was Ken Mainprize. who
pitched eight games for the nine.
One other Nisei played in the
same league, group three: Fred
Kagawa, who guarded second sack
for the Canada Vulcaniier and.
Euipmerit Company team.
