TORONTO, ONT.

Whatdo You think about the Nat'l Confab?
The ± inure of the only body which represents all
JCs across Canada is due to be decided. The proposed
Nations ume rgency conference to be held at the WinnN
peg’ Ito a cl Q a i1 j tiers was set for Feb. 22-24, less than a
month a may. All chapters haven’t replied as yet.

rundown again: Toronto JCCA (acting
Ontario) is the lone body in favor of the proposed con­
fab "The opinion of the Quebec JCCA, gleaned from the
Montreal Bulletin, is negative. No official report from
Alberta. The B.C. JCCA which deemed the conference
inadvisable last month, has now made clear its opinion
by suggesting that an acting National headquarters be
placed hi charge of the Toronto chapter instead of hav­
ing a conference.
w
It appears that the possibility of staging a confer­
ence is fading away. National’s action under these cir­
cumstances is being awaited. One thing we would like
to suggest to National at this time is that its activities—
its progress, preparations, and agenda of the proposed
conference, if any—be made public.
It is almost certain thhat National will not be dis­
solved entirely, judging from the outlook of past and
present leaders, who would form the core of the confer­
ence, but it is generally agreed that reorganization is
badly needed. The name of National JGCA could be re­
tained to represent any unified actions or causes of Japa­
nese Canadians across Canada.
We feel that B.C.’s suggestion is worth a second
glance. In view of the apathy of certain chapters, an
acting National HDQ placed in charge’of the Toronto
chapter (which has already studied extensively the immigration question), leaving the local and provincial
chapters as free lances, appears to be the most practical
proposal.
Fred Kayahara, former member of the National
executive committee, last September suggested an agen­
dafora needed conference as follows : (i) Review of past
issues; (ii) The present situation pertaining to Japanese
Canadians; (iii) Issues in the foreseeable future; (iv)
Reorganization to meet the changed conditions (v) Of­
ficially dissolving the JCCA, He further states: “The
above agenda ends in a negative note.. However, it is
better to officially dissolve an organization when .there
is no further need than have it gradually die a natural
death.
“The conference, I am sure; will do its utmost to
chart a new course and keep the JCCA and its. great
achievements, alive. As a minority group, the Japanese
Canadians need a national body to safeguard their rights
as Canadian citizens.”

Here are the opinions of a few members of the Japanese Canadian community, on what they think about the proposed National
Emergency Conference, the
future of the National JCCA, and JCCA period:
RAYMOND MORI Y A M A
(Architect): “I don’t really
know too much about the past
JCCA. . . . Essentially I believe
it s about time JCCA did break
up on the national and provinleyels. . . . Locally, some sort
of organization (not neces­
sarily JCCA) may be needed
to help those Japanese who
need help, but as far as JCs
generally are c o n c e r n e d.
they’ve spread out into the
wider circle.
“There seems to be only one
reason for JCCA—greater immigration.
“In that respect there is
need for a strong body. But I
feel it’s necessary that the Ja­
panese government negotiate
with the Canadian government
through their consular repre­
sentatives.
“I don’t see how JCs can
help, outside of talking about
it and raising a lot of fuss
about the injustice. . . . They
can’t expect any success at all.
“If immigration is the only
issue, JCCA is no longer re­
quired.”

KEN ADACHI (Former edi­
tor of The New Canadian):
“The Immigration Problem,
like death, taxes and babies,
will always be with us. But
the Immigration Problem is
obviously not inspiring.enough
a catchword to arouse people
from lethargy. It doesn’t hit
home to them; it doesn’t have
the mass appeal, the calculated
effect of a ‘Help Hungary’, or
‘Save Christ for Christmas’ or
even a ‘Go to Blazes’ campaign.
Thus, it fails to stir up feel­
ings of compassion, religion or
irreverence. It’s unfortunate,
but there it is. So much for the
National JCCA’s raison d’etre.
“Give the National JCCA
another gentle push and it will
pass into Limbo, wherein are

'Japan May Be Hostile to West
VANCOUVER.—There is dakger that Japan will bid for lead­
ership of an Afro-Asian emnire
hostile to the west, warned R. P.
Dore, associate professor of
Asian studies at UBC recently.
Mr Dore, who spent consider­
able time in Japan at Tokyo

University and on a Research
Fellowship from the Royal Insti­
tute of International Affairs, said
Japanese socialists, who make up
a third of the country’s parlia­
ment, want an end to what they
term “excessive subservience” to
the U.S.

-I IVING theatre is always a living reality
that must be breathed in the flesh. There
is a sense of immediacy, almost a sense of
urgency, simply because you are there. And
it does not much matter where, be it a base­
ment of a church or just an arena within the
'spaciousness of an empty hall. It may be the
■ second floor satin of a fashionable restaurant,
.as the Anjou, or the intimate shell of the
jGesu. ...

‘LEARN JAPANESE’
Editor: A couple of years ago,
I noticed in The New Canadian
that a high school in the States
was adding a Japanese language

course to their curriculum, and
that many Occidental students
were eagerly awaiting the beginning of the course.

Treat Us Like Negroes’
There are times when a re­
mark of a bigot affords a
glimpse into the murky interior
of the mind. We are thinking
specifically of a statement
made recently by Asa Carter,
the head of the North Alabama
Citizen’s council. 'When he was
denied the use of a suburban
park in Knoxville, Tenn., for a
racist jamboree.
Carter
promptly took his case to the
press.
“They’re taking" avvay our
free speech,” he complained
bitterly to reporters, “and
treating us like Negroes.”
