history of the Japanese in Canada is dotted with incidents,
i that The
most Nisei have forgotten or may never have heard of, says

— By Cinderella i George Tanaka of the National JCCA History Subcommittee. One

Just an Armful of Wild Trilliums.
T HAD impulsively offered her my armful of wild trilliums. I had
1 only wanted her to share something of a quiet but an altogether
memorable May afternoon.
It had been a beautiful day, one of those days which began the
nisrht"before with a dour look, like'the uncompromising look of a
stern-parent, promising nothing except rain.
Only those who have experienced other days like this can un­
derstand the pleasurable excitement of just walking through the
woods with a kindred spirit, sharing almost forgotten discoveries.
The day was not warm. I had to pull my coat closer around me and
diff my' hands deep into my pockets. But I felt free, as if suddenly,
I had" thrown off the chains that bound me, cast off the tensions
that bad gripped me through the long last dragging months of a
Montreal winter.
It was a time for renewing old loves. The elms and maples in
the Stove were coy in a saffron veil of buds as yet reluctant to burst
forth. The trails were still springy with last year’s fallen leaves,
and there was still a dankness in the air. And from somewhere far
off, I could hear the gurgling of running water.
And suddenly, there they were. I squeezed my companion’s arm
three fragile wild trilliums ... I could not believe it. And then
they were everywhere! And I remembered other’ days, days when
I stood in awe as my feet stumbled on some spot where the wild
snake, grass purpled the uplands ... or where pale pink anemone
starred' cool valleys. ...
And it was good to stretch out and think. The wind, cool as we
crossed the open countryside, disappeared as we entered the valley.
The sun poured warm and gentle, with promises of warmer, golden
days to come. And it was good to stretch one’s length on tire grassy
slope, and to watch tiny black-ants scurrying back and forth, or to
lie on one’s back, to look at the world with half-shut eyes, and to
paint strange pictures in the sky. How like wrought ironware were
the bare black branches of. trees silhouetted against the clear blue
sky.

And to listen to silence. Even silence has its own particular
sound, made more intense by the distant croaking of frogs. And far
off, the roar of the city . . . the trains, the buses, the honking of
horns. And then a chipmunk, his cheeks puffed with food, con­
descended to survey us with beady, curious eyes. And the wonder­
ful sense of feeling that we were friends . . . each ■with our own
work to do, but not at all unlike one another on a warm, May
afternoon.
This day had been, like a gentle homecoming, a homecoming to
eternal, timeless things. These things would be here for as long* as
I had need for them, and would remain for others long after I am
gone. The wild trilliums were no less beautiful now than those I
used to take home when I was a child.

But she backed away from my offering, as if it were tainted
with some deadly disease. She was distinctly annoyed. “Take them
away, they smell terribly.”. And she looked at me strangely, her
eyes taking in my windblown hair, my grubby hands, my muddy
shoes, leaving- me feeling childish, awkward and stupid.
To her my offering was just a bunch of wild trilliums with a
terrible .“wet dog” smell.'

such incident was the brave, though futile pilgrimage to Ottawa in
1936 by a group of Niseis to plead for the franchise. Members of
this delegation included S. I. Hayakawa, now world-famous seman­
ticist and frequent critic of Nisei ways; Edward C. Banno, now a
Kamloops, B.C. dentist: Hide Hyodo, now wife of the Rev. K. Shi­
mizu; and Minoru Kobayashi. How did this project come about, who
financed it, what was it like to confront the parliamentarians in to keep the balance of $8’3 for
Ottawa, was the gesture worth it? These are some facts the pro­ the use of the local matured
posed JC history will cover.

Nisei Aren’t Quite the Same as in the ‘Good Old Days’
By BILL HOSOKAWA
in the Pacific Citizen
DENVER, Colo.—The orches­
tra was swinging through a
lively foxtrot as we entei'ed the
Albany Hotel ballroom, but no
one was dancing. Everyone seem­
ed to be waiting for some couple
to start things off, and no one
was quite in the mood to take
the initiative.

“It's like the good old days
'among the
John
. Rademaker observed. “Remember how we had to exhort them
not to waste good music at
their dances?” Remember, in­
deed. Sometimes a third of the
evening would have slipped by
before anyone got up the cour?»e to get out on the floor and
stop the waste of fine music.
And once a couple or two or
three broke the ice,’ the others
followed quickly.
Jenn Rademaker had good rea­
son to recall those days When the
Mse: were younge? 'and shyer.
L you’ll pardon the expression,
'^ariy a quarter century ago he

earned his doctorate at the Uni­
versity of , Washington with a
thesis on Japanese farmers in
the state of Washington. And
in the course of gathering his
material, he got to know a large
number of Nisei both urban and
rural and gained a deep insight
into their problems, inhibitions
and triumphs.
He was visiting Denver for the
regional convention of the Ame­
rican Association of University
Professors which, by coincidence,
took place at the same time as
the thirteenth annual Nisei In­
termountain Collegiate Confer­
ence. He was attending his meet­
ing' as head of the department of
sociology at Williamette Univer­
sity in Salem, Ore., but made
time to slip away long enough io
attend the NICC dance.
Actually, as Dr. Rademaker
soon discovered, the Nisei today
are quite different in many re­
spects from their predecessors
of the mid-thirties. Not only
did they refuse to waste music,
they made good use of it with
considerable verve and skill.

ceeutive meeting of the
Toront o JCCA last. Wednesday
resolved to donate $500 of the
amount, returned to the local
chapter from the original Ontario JCCA Old Folks Home pro­
ject to the Nipponia Home Incor­
porated as an opening gesture by

Nor are their dancing habits
the only thing that had changed.
They waded into discussions
about their vocational futures
with the same forthrightness.
Yet, underlying the'convention
seemed to be a vague and gnaw­
ing doubt: What effect would
their Japanese ancestry have on
their efforts to make a living
by the skills they were acquir­
ing in school ?
They found reassurance in the
individual successes represented
by attorneys, a physician and a
dentist ,a sales executive, school
teacher, city planner, engineers,
a geologist, a science researcher,
sundry others. There was „ not
time enough to hear how each of
them overcame obstacles to at­
tain their present eminence—
these would have been fascinat­
ing stories—but it was enough to
hear them tell of their work and
the qualities necessary to succeed.

the reports of these various Ni­
sei professional people were
these two thoughts:

1. Being.a Nisei is not an in­
surmountable handicap in voca­
tional success. In fact, once you
have demonstrated your compe­
tence, no one seems to remem­
ber or realize that you’re “dif­
ferent.”
2. There’s always a place for
the well-qualified individual.
Don’t be too quick to cry dis­
crimination; rather, look to
yourself for shortcomings that
keep you from qualifying for
the job you seek.

As Dr. Rademaker could
observe, these are postwar phe­
nomena. Time was that Nisei in
demanding professional positions
were the exception. Now they are
almost commonplace. And that,
as the students well know,-is the
way it should be. Looking back
on the advances of the last de­
to
cade, it
contemplate on. the progress that
might be made in the next ten
Running like a thread through years.

under the previous Government.
He initiated two important re­
forms: the establishment of a
iiew appeal board to hear appeals
from persons denied entry to this
country, and a policy of telling
such persons the reasons for
their
rejection.
Nevertheless,
Citizenship and Immigration is
too important a portfolio to be
handled indefinitely on a “doubl­
ing-up” basis. It requires a fulltime Minister' of its own.
Mrs. Fairclough is an excellent
choice for the post, Her service
in Parliament and in the Cabinet
has marked her as one of the
ablest members of her party.
Her knowledge of labor problems
made her the official Conserva­
tive critic in this field duringthe years in Opposition. She also
has the- advantage of coming
from the section of Canada most
concerned with, and affected by,
the changing tides of immigra­
tion.
The new Minister faces a great
responsibility and a great oppor­
tunity. Immigration has been
vital to Canada since the days
of the first settlements, but it
was never more vital than it is
today. The national development
program to which the Diefenbaker Government is pledged re­
quires a larger and more mobile
labor force than is available to­
day, and much of this must come
from overseas. The country can- .
not hope for a stable economy .
until it has a larger home market
—and this means a bigger popu­
lation, Every national problem
we have is aggravated by lack of
people.
Yet despite this, Canada has
never had a real long-term im­
migration policy. Our Govern­
ments have opened the door to
immigrants,
half - grudgingly,
whenever times were good, and
then slammed it shut whenever
there were signs of a recession.
What is urgently needed now is
a more intelligent and construc­
tive approach to the problem; a
systematic effort to attract the
right kind of settlers and to en­
sure an adequate inflow regard­
less of temporary economic fluc­
tuations. If Mrs. Fairclough will
take the lead in developing such
a policy, she can make a great
contribution to Canada’s future.

Rec's Bowling Banquet

NOTES

The Rec Socratic Bowling- Lea­
gue held their Annual Presenta­
tion and Windup Banquet on
April 26 at Benny's Steak House.
Officers elected on the executive

come to work in Toronto. He has
been the student pastor of the
Vancouver Nisei Gospel Church.
The interest among Nisei in
fundamental beliefs of the Chris­
tian faith is growing. There were
14 Nisei studying at various
Bible schools in Canada this past
term, and at least six have gone
to Japan as missionaries. Only
eight years ago there were no
Canadian Nisei missionaries and
only a few were attending Bible
schools.
The highlight of the confer­
ence was the dedication of the
Rutland church building with Mr.
Bayley bringing the message.
Messers Sharples, K. Nishi, T.
Terai and Sam Hoshizaki were
appointed as elders. The work in
Kelowna under- Mr. and Mrs.
Sharples has produced seven
active Christian workers and
many Nisei have found livingfaith in Christ through their ef­
forts.
Miss Mabel Sharples is
working among the Japanese in
Maui, Hawaii, and Rev. A. Aku­
tagawa is the Issei leader in the
Okanagan.

BOOK REVIEW:

Comparison
Of Buddhism
And Christianity
JAPANESE
BUDDHISM
AND CHRISTIANITY.
By
Tuckey N. Callaway. Published
by Shinkvo Shuppansha, To- kyo.

This is a comparative study of
Japanese Buddhism and Chris­
tianity written for the purpose
of enabling Christian (Protes­
tant) missionaries in Japan to
convert Japanese Buddhists to
Christianity by pointing out the
alleged weakness of Buddhist
sects.
The author has made a pains­
taking study of the doctrines of
the Zen, Shin and Nichiren sects
of Buddhism taught in Japan,
and' compared them with the
teachings of Protestant Chris­
tianity. He has found many
points of similarities, but also
basic differences.
“The author of this thesis be­
lieves that if the material con­
tained herein should be present­
ed to adherents of the three sects
in the spirit of humility and
Christian love, it could be instru­
mental in leading some of them
to the Christian faith,” he con­
cludes.
It is the author’s idea that as
Christianity is superior to Budd­
hism,. Buddhists should be given
an opportunity to know the
Christian
faith
and become
Christians.
The attitude of looking down
on non-Christians as though they
were worthless primitive per­
sons, so often adopted by Chris­
tian missionaries, has created
antagonism, against them and
Christianity.
Probably the author has recog­
nized that fact, for he insists
that
Christian
missionaries
should approach Buddhists humb­
ly.
As a text book for Christian
missionaries, the volume may
have its value as it tells where
Buddhism can be attacked.

As you know, it is customary for newspapers and
magazines to carry subscriptions on a prepaid basis.
This system is particularly necessary for The New Can­
adian, since we never have,' nor have we tried to have,
enough capital to operate independently of our sub­
scribers'’ remittances. Actually, this system boils down
to the borrowing of money (without interest) from our
readers in the form of subscriptions.which is used for
our operating costs.
Without this method, we cannot carry out our
work, and it enables us to retain the present subscrip­
tion rates (S6.00 per year; $3.-50 for six months) dur­
ing times when production costs are continually rising.
Although there is. a notation of your expiry date
to the right of your address on each copy of The New
Canadian, we endeavor, when time allows, to send out
notices as a reminder just before-'or after the expiration
of your subscription. Unfortunately, time does not al­
ways allow continuous billing.
" Recently, however, we have been gladdened to
note an increasing tendency for our readers to send in
their remittances without waiting for our spasmodic
notices.
This is just a word of appreciation for the thought­
fulness of those readers who have shown an under­
standing of our position. And if this trend continues, we
will have more time to devote towards the improvement
of your paper.
