insulting terms used to express
hate toward other minorities in
America. We know the parties
mentioned did not use the term
deliberately since in the same
breath they praised the efforts of

“However, the; repeated use of
the term on a nationwide broad­

efforts of our national organiza­

Japanese Cross SalmonTrout With Success

TOKYO.—For man the most
important thing is life. Life is
always in flux, and it is the crea­
tive matrix of the new. Anything
without life is dead. Life is crea­
tivity and vitality as its essential
elements. Originally all living
things embody creativity and
vitality. But eventually, over
®anY years, they become rigid,
iorm-ridden and dogmatic.
In “Decline of the West” (Untergangdes Abendlandes), Oswald
Spengler (1880-1936) wrote that
the west has civilization but no
culture. This weakness has now
become apparent in politics, eco­
nomics and science. Many taboos
have emerged in social cenven‘•lons and traditions. Techniques
and machines brought about the
industrial revolution: man has
peen taken up into the cogs of
ws. machinery and has lost his
basic humanity. Man, surrounded
Py machines, mass communica^ons and organized systems, has
become alienated from freedom

and sponstaneity. Zen seems un­
usually well-suited to break tire
deadlock facing modern man.
Science has now emerged into
the atomic and outer space age.
Originally based on humanism,
science gradually came to be con­
sidered all powerful and autono­
mous.
In this "way it moved in the
wrong direction, luring mankind
toward destruction. Zen seems
to have a vital role in correcting
this false tendency of science.
Although the world is said to
be moving toward a thaw, the two
ideological camps are still in
sharp conflict. The weak nations
are caught in the middle, waver­
ing from left to right.
Zen offers the possibility of
basically undercutting this dual­
ism. It can help man overcome
the ideologies for the first time.
The West tends to emphasize
the individual over the group. But
even in individual man there are
two facets. They are the false self
and true self.
No matter how much the indi­

Beason Why West Shows Interest In Zen
By Prof. MASUNAGA

TORONTO, ONT.

vidual emphasized it does no good
if the emphasis is on the false
self. Through the true self the
dignity of man emerges. In Chris­
tianity, God is worshipped as “an
absolute other” (das ganz Andere); he is separated from man.
Zen, on the other hand returns
man to this original wholeness
and shows him his true self.
In Buddhism the true self is
called Buddha-nature. Buddhanature includes man’s religious
nature and true humanity. It is
deeply involved in human dig­
nity.
Thinkers in Europe and
America have sensed this. Zen,
with its emphasis on man’s true
self, has given them new insights
into human potentialities. Chris­
tianity talks about a future king­
dom of heaven and makes it the
dwelling place of the soul.
But Zen considers this too far
removed from the actual world.
Zen tries to help man live fully
in this world. This is called the
expression of full function. Zen

VANCOUVER.—In
a
high
school poll an overwhelmingnumber of young people listed
inter-faith dating as the subject
they would most like discussed.
That is easily understood was the
comment made by Dr. F. S. Mor­
ley to the Sun.
Cold statitstics reveal that
■where man and wife are both
Protestant 6.8 marriages fail;
where both are Roman Catholic
6.4 fail; but in mixed marriages
15.2 per cent fail or two and a
half times as -many.
Quite often a couple will say
to me: “Religious difference will
not matter because neither of us
takes religion seriously.” This
class has the largest casualty list
of all—16.7 per cent separated!
Young people in love impa­
tiently think concern about reli­
gion is nonsense. Faith lifts mar­
riage above the animal and digni­
fies and beautifies every relation­
ship in God. Religion integrates
the home.
Why are all churches opposed
to mixed marriages? Not because
the church fears losing members.
Not because of prejudice. Nor is
it a notion of older people to
thwart youth. It is because they
don’t work out unless they cease
to be mixed.
As Pope Pius XI said: “There

will be wanting that close union
of spirit which as it is the sign
and mark of the Church of Christ,
so also should be the sign of
Christian wedlock, its glory and
adornment.
“For, where there exists diver­
sity of mind, truth, and feeling,
the bond of union of mind and
heart is wont to be broken, or at

Japan Plans Study Trip
To Alaska to Know North

TOKYO.—A 22-man Japanese
scientific expedition to Alaska
will leave for a three and a half
month study of America’s 49th
state sometime this month it was
said recently.
The expedition will be the first
made by a Japanese scientific
group to Alaska and also to the
North American continent.
Dr. Misawo Watanabe, a pro­
fessor of geography at Meiji Uni­
versity in Tokyo, who will lead
the exepedition, said it will be the
start of a three-year survey by
the university on Alaska.
Watanabe, who visited Alaska
briefly two years ago, said his
group will conduct archeological
excavations, study glaciers, topo­
