Asians Regard Westerners as Childish and Rich

VANCOUVER.—-People of the West are childish, very rich, don't
work much, humane and young- men in a hurry, in the eyes of the
people of the East. This was the consensus of four Asian speakers
in a panel discussion sponsored by the United Nations Association,
Vancouver branch. Taking part were Hiroshi Kasahara of Japan,
assistant director of the North Pacific Fislxeries Commission; BomShik Chang of Korea, now studying higher mathematics at UBC:'
Dr. D. P. Pandia of India, now practicing law here; and K. J. Ratnam, an exchange student from Malaya.

Prize-winning Poet Inspired at Beer Party
LOS ANGELES.—-Genji Mihara, 67, who didn’t think he would
make the trip/to Japan and read his prize-winning “waka” poem
before the Emperor, did enplane Jan. 6 and was the .only person
outside of Japan attending the solemn new year occasion. A rough
translation of his 31-syllable poem reads as follows: “A white
cloud like a ribbon hovers over the Nasu peak, soaring beyond the
tableland”. Stories out of Tokyo report Mihara, president of the
Japanese Community Service organization, received his inspiration
accidentally at a beer party, which he attended on a mountain not
far from his home. Since “Clouds” were the subject of the 1958
Waka poems, the cloudy, overcast sky of that day reminded him
of the beautiful clouds he used to see back home in Izumo as a
youngster. This incident he put into verse, a pastime he studied
while interned during World War II.

Van. Coordinating Council Counsels Newcomers
VANCOUVER.—The Vancouver Coordinating Council on Citi­
zenship in cooperation with a number of business and professional
people set up a counselling service in Woodward’s store last Friday
to answer questions for new Canadians. A team of experts was on
hand to give advice on education, vocational training, legal matter’s,
housing, religion, and government services. Dr. and Mrs. H. S. Saita
are on the executive board of the Coordinating Council.

CCF MP ON IMMIGRATION:

‘Erase the Damage on Japan’
OTTAWA.—A change of regulations for Japanese
immigration was advocated last Wednesday by CGF
Member of Parliament A. M. Nicholson of Mackenzie
constituency in -Saskatchewan.
Directing his statements to
Acting Minister of Citizenship
and Immigration E. D. Fulton.
MP Nicholson said to the House
of Commons:
“Canada has had an unfortun­
ate chapter in her history in re­
gard to the treatment of Japa­
nese Canadians during the
world war. I find we are encour­
aging people to come here from
Germany, and I am all in favor
of this, but we have had very
few immigrants from Japan
since the end of the second
world war.
“I hope that the minister' will
tell the committee, when he has
an opportunity, that he is try­
ing to erase the damage done to
the prestig'e of Canada in Asia
by changing these regulations
and making the people of Japan
understand that we do not now
share the views of his predeces­
sors when they were in office
during the war.”
Earlier, Nicholson declared that
although additional immigration
would not be very popular wit a
three quarters of a million people
in Canada seeking employment at
the moment, “I do feel the 16 mil­
lion people living in the northern
part of this continent cannot ex­
pect to hold these rich lands' ex­
clusively for ourselves.
“I am sure”, he continued,
“there is no one here who will
dispute my claim that 30 million
people might well enjoy a higher
standard of living than we have
here in Canada today. I realize
we are not doing any good ser­
vice by asking- people to come

here and share employment
with us.”
Nicholson
advocated
two
things: to see that the standard
of living for the people of Cana­
da is increased, and to see that
more people are permitted to
come here.
“I know there is a regulation
which will permit 50 people to
come to Canada from Ceylon in
addition to those who normally
come to this country. I may ad­
vise the committee that I have
recently been to Ceylon, and al­
though Ceylon is less than half
as large as the Mackenzie con­
stituency, eight million people
live in that country as compar­
ed with our 45,000, and I • say
without boasting that nowhere
in Asia did I see such fine fer­
tile land as we have in north
Saskatchewan. I do not think
the people of Canada should ex­
pect that we should limit the
people coming to this country to
such small numbers.”
Calling attention to the unfair
immig-ration regulations regard­
ing the Chinese, Nicholson point-

ed out that over a 20-yeax' period
(1924-1944), only eight Chinese
were admitted to Canada. Minis­
ter' of Immigration Fulton af­
firmed that his .department re­
views all Chinese cases in which
a review is requested.
Social Credit MP G. W. McLeod
of Okanagan-Revelstoke, B.C.,
earlier commended the depart­
ment for its more humane ap­
proach to the problem of allow­
ing imnrediate members of Chi­
nese and Asiatic families to come
to Canada “where they may be
reunited with their husbands,
fathers or children who may have
been allowed entry into this coun­
try in past years.”

Compulsory Citizenship
McLeod went on to suggest
compulsory Canadian citizenship
for immigrants who do not “up­
set the balance of our social life”.
He proposed newcomers to Cana­
da be compelled to sign a decla­
ration that they intend to become
Canadian citizens. Later they
should be obliged to study the
obligations and rights of citizen­
ship, he said. In order to give a
full measure of service as resi­
dents of a country, he stated, “I
believe a person must be a citizen
of that country.”

The Weekend is Busy
According to the calendar, Sunday is the first day
of the week. But for a working man, the week starts
on Monday, and Sunday becomes only part of a busy
weekend.

The Community Centre. . .
The weekend started off on Saturday morning with
a visit from a young Nisei who wanted to discuss the
Toronto Japanese Canadian Community Centre project.
This young man in his late twenties, soon to be
married, was thinking of the Community Centre as a
place for his Sansei children-t’o-be, a place where they
could learn about their cultural background. He was
also thinking of the Centre as a place of recreation
for his Issei parents, who would welcome it especially
in their retirement years.
It was interesting to note that these Nisei have
'started wondering about their children’s future with
regard to Japanese culture. While Nisei in general
may not think too much about their ancestry, having
lived with Japan-born parents and having heard the
Japanese language most of their lives, the completelyintegrated-Sansei will probably not fake so much for
granted.. They will probably be quite curious about their
ancestry, not having parents with ready answers.
The Community Centre, as a Japanese cultural
centre, would be a great asset to them.
Sitting in the office last Saturday morning, our
Nisei visitor cited the fact that the Japanese Canadians
in this area are scattering further and further away
from each other. Yet many Nisei are thinking about
Japanese culture for theii’ children. He himself was
keenly interested in the Community Centre, but, he
complained, as yet there has been no concrete plan
presented to the public.
The Toronfo Community Centre 'has been discussed
for almost ten years. Early last year, the research
committee-published, a report of their three-year study
—a summary of recommendations outlining its struc­
ture, site and space requirements, and activities.
It gave a brief proposal for fund-raising. The pub­
lic’s vague idea that “we want a Community Cen Lie
and we would like to support it” has been indicated,
but it has never been measured. How much money wie

individual is willing to give is not known. Nor has there
been any great deal of research into the important
matter of maintenance after the building is completed.
At the recent meeting of the Centre Working Com­
mittee, it was reported that architect Raymond Mori­
yama had been asked to formulate a general picture
of the type of centre feasible under a budget of
$15Q,000.
Our young visitor agreed that it is essential to
place this picture before the public to see whether they
are agreeable to such a centre, and find out if they
will'be able to give their share in the fund-raising.

formalities of speeches, the entertainment was present­
ed. With Roy Miura as MC, short comedy skits were
performed by the amateux' drama clubs, Hachisu-Gekidan of Hamilton, and Mitsuba-Kai of Toronto which
came to assist; and Mr. and Mrs. M. Endo and other
Torontonians added their “mellow” voices to the talent
offered by Hamiltonians.
The traditional Fukubiki (Lucky Number Draw)
concluded the evening with prizes donated by Hamilton
stores and individuals. Top prize of a $25 blanket went
to one of the honored guests, Mrs. Shuto, an aged lady
of Hamilton. I woxx the 34th prize, a box of cigars.

A Farewell Party. . .

A Sunny Sunday. . .

Saturday afternoon was the time for a farewell
party in honor of Vice-Consul E. Uchida and his family
who are returning to Japan on Jan. 28. About 60 people
came to wish them the best of health.
Uchida-san is a very serious man, a very “Kicho-.
men-na-Hito” (a man of “most square toes”—a very
precise, punctual, and methodical person). He came to
Toronto with 'the former Consul K. Yoshida to open
the new Japanese Consulate in May, 1954. Fox’ three
years and eight months, he has helped the Consuls and
gained a good reputation. But his greatest success
here, in my opinion, was the birth of his son, a Canadian-born Nisei and a Canadian citizen—an unbroken
tie with Canada. Speeches of farewell were made to
Uchida-san and his family by Z. Shin, Mrs. T. Ikeda,
Edward Ide (National JCCA), and Consul M. Endo.

Although we realize the wintex' has hardly started,
we are really enjoying the tbalmy weather. It may xxot
be too good fox' the Hanners—they need much more
precipitation than they’ve been getting—but it’s won­
derful fox' the toWolk.
Last Sunday was especially nice with a spring-like
sun shining, moving xne to clean up my little backyard
garden, gathering up old raspberry twigs and building
a little.bonfire.
Last summer I wrote about my “garden of weeds”
(in the Japanese section of the NO), boasting of the
wide variety of shrubs apd flowers, including wild ones.
A.pparently my words were rdsier than my garden, fox’
a few of my friends wrote to say that they envied my
little Eden. And friends in Toronto embarrassed me
by wanting to see it. I would hurriedly tidy up so
that it would at least look nice and clean.
Although my little garden may not be worth show­
ing to others, it is very valuable to me. Most of the
shx-ubs and flowers bring back happy memories of my
fishing trips. Whenever I don’t have luck in fishing,
I fill up my creel with shrubs or moss.
They also bring nostalgia for the old country. One
precious little tree called Hanazuho, only ten inches
high as yet, which I got from Mrs. M. Obokata of Londoon last year, brings back happy memories of my boy­
hood in Japan.
Fox' anyone who wanders into my garden showing
the least bit of interest in the plant life, I’ll be ready
with a tale for each little shrub.

A Hamilton Get-together. . .
Saturday evening we travelled to Hamilton to at-tend the Keiro-Shimbokukai, one of that city’s biggest
JC events of the year. Both Issei and Nisei gather to’gether fox' a testimonial banquet in honor of the aged
Issei to scend an evening of harmony and joy. The
annual New Year event is sponsored by Hamilton JCCA
and the Kyowakai.
About 200 people attended inclluding visitors from
Toronto—among others, Consul and Mrs. Endo, ViceConsul and Mrs. T. Wada, and JCCA representatives.

VITAL CHRISTIANITY
“If I bring one or two people
to a knowledge of Jesus Christ
they may be able to reach 10 or
20 others,” she said.
Miss Sheppard believes Christionity gradually is taking hold
in Japan, which for 200-250 years
was isolated from the rest of the
world. Many young people have
lost their faith in the old reli­
gions of Buddhism and Shintoism
and are beginning to seek a new
way of life.
