By MITSIE

Dear Editor:
This letter is from a group of
young Toronto fellows. We are
constantly being harped on by
our parents to date Nihon jin
girls instead of Hakujin girls.
To please our parents we started
to scout about for Nihonjin girls
at dances and other places of so­
ciety. But to no avail did we find
suitable Nihonjin girls that we
would like to date. Where are all
these young nice looking girls
that are supposed to be inhabit­
ing Toronto? Do they stay at
home to await to be discovered
or are these girls very scarce?
If these girls stay at home, then
we would be pleased if you the
Editor, would be kind enough to
make a comment in your paper,
which might enhance these young
ladies to mingle into the social
world, where we poor fellows,
may have a chance to meet them.
The Searchers.
Dear “The Searchers”
The Editor has turned your
letter over to me for a reply. You
say that you attended dances and
other places in search of girls ?
And all the girls you found
weren’t suitable?
Question is,
what do you mean by suitable?
If you mean they didn’t look like
Hakujin girls, then you had
better start looking in a mirror
once in a ■while. Toronto has a
whole bevy of attractive Nisei
girls: they may be found attend­
ing Varsity, Bloor Collegiate,
Ryerson, etc. etc.: nursing at the
various hospitals like Sick Child­
rens, Western; worshiping at the
various churches; teaching in
schools; working in offices; rid­
ing on street cars; dancing at the
social clubs; bowling at the
alleys; watching TV at home and
so on and on. ... And if you
really want to make a thorough
search why don’t you join one
of those JCCA canvassing teams
and go door to door. This way
you will help out for a good cause
and
like the Japanese
maybe you’ll find a sweet chicken
watching- TV at home.

Dear Bewildered Mother:
Don’t remain bewildered, just
keep track of your girl’s eating
habits for future reference when
she starts seeing her psycho­

Dear Mitsie:

I don’t know if you would mind
handling the problem that I have
but it’s really a worry to me. It’s
about our Helen who’s two years
of age. She’s just like one of the
family. She is a pure bred Ger­
man shepherd.
She continually
insists on biting the hems of the
curtains, and she’s ruined six
pairs already this year.
She’s just like our own child,
so we can’t give her up. What
can we do ?
Her Best Friend
Dear Her Best Friend:
Try putting dry mustard on the
hems . . . this will mean curtains
for that act.
Mitsie.

seem to be disappointingly small
figures. What is really needed is
money—money to set up exten­
sive programs of research and in­
struction which will, in -turn,
create student demand. If the uni­
versities wait for student demand
before acting, nothing will ever
be done on a large scale. In Great
Britain the Government provides
$200,000 a year to finance East
Asian studies and the United
States has provided $300,000 to
promote study of the Chinese lan­
guage alone.
Thus, money—whether from
Governments or private founda­
tions—and the co-operation of
the universities could place Can­
ada in the position of making a
to world
major contribution
pence. For Canada, as a member
of the British Commonwealth, as
a country that advanced from
colony to nation, as a country re­
spected in the United Nations, is
in a unique position to contribute
to East-West understanding.”

generally more favorable attitude
to immigration in general. Rela­
tives are only thought of in terms
of natural affinity—they are the
first group with which Japanese
in this country have contact.
It is an added bewilderment to
be told that, "it is not the policy
of the Japanese Government to
seek a solution to its population
problem through emigration.” Is
Japan seeking self-martyrdom at
the hand of "black-hole” popula­
tion pressures or a further excuse
to explode in terms of territorial
expansion ? It would seem that
a more positive approach to popu­
lation problems on all fronts in­
cluding emigration would be
more advantageous for Japan and
healthy for all peoples of the
world. It could surely be asserted
that the people of Japan have a
cultural heritage and man-power
besides its relatively recently
acquired economic acumen to con­
tribute to other lands.
It is unformnate that the Am­
bassador has now made a public
statement concerning this subject
of immigration because by so
doing he has weakened his position and increased the possibility
of creating a more unfavorable
climate of Canadian opinion in
the matter of immigration and to­
wards the Japanese Canadians
now resident in this country.

N.C. Under Attack On Letter Writer’s Views
“Re: article published in The New Canadian, “Grips of Heathenism
In Japan Today Makes Christian Teaching Difficult” in the February
24, 1960 issue.
This article should be read carefully by all members of the Con­
gregation. It is evangelical in tone, and prejudiced in its statements
and conclusions. The article was written by Mr. Eddie S. . Yoshida
of the Canadian Japanese Mission at Northeast Bibical Institute in
Sakagawa City, Japan. We do not know how often Canadians of Ja­
panese ancestrv will be provided such Anti-Creed literature. We
Buddhists should try all the harder to be better Buddhists and there­
fore better Canadians.
We wall not at this moment present a point-form argument
against the statements made by Mr. Yoshida, but we would point out
that when an influential ethnic organ (The New Canadian), publishes
articles which give comfort to a majority (Christian Canadians of
Japanese ancestry) and attacks the religion of a minority .(Buddh­
ism, which is followed by some Canadians of Japanese-‘ancestry),
the result is not mere religious pressure. It is religious persecution.
We feel from the bottom of our hearts that there is-something
-wonderful about Buddhism. Even the images (heathen idols accord­
ing to The New Canadian) appear to: radiate peace,-wisdom, a-tran­
scendent serenity. Al though Ave know that these images'are merely
wood, bronze or* clay works of artists, they serve touremind us of
the ideal Infinite Wisdom and Infinite Compassion.
It is a religion of timeless truths, a religion based' on-the1 ex­
perience, life, teachings, and example of the greatest Teacher in
history. “The charm of the Sakyamuni”, says Anatole^ France, “works
freely* on an unprejudiced heart . . . Buddhism is wholly; compact of
wisdom, love, and pity”.
We try our best to follow the path.”

I am indeed sorry to bring about these harsh words by Mr. Rpy
Sato publically attacking The New Canadian through Toronto’s of­
ficial Buddhist organ, The Guiding Light. However, in this writer’s
opinion, it is entirely unjustified and is not “wholly compact of
-wisdom,” for the NG “works freely on an unprejudiced heart”.
Let me first clarify my stand for this paper in saying that,-as
your editor, I will not enter a dispute on religion as it is not with
my approval to pass judgment on Mr. Sato’s beliefs nor Mix Eddie
S. Yoshida for his. My reasons, then, for -writing, is specifically the
lame and impotent conclusions made by Mr. Sato accusingly stating,
“. . . that when an influencial ethnic organ (The New Canadian)
publishes articles which give comfort to a majority (Christian Can­
adians of Japanese ancestry) and attacks the religion of a minority
(Buddhism, which is followed by some Canadians of -Japanese an­
cestry), the result is not mere religious pressure. It is religious per­
secution.”
In my comments of rebuttal, let it be said that the mental
ability of human counter-attack to an enemy is propagative, but
those with abundance of strategy, whether literature, philosophy
or what-have-you, are apt to emerge from the condition of commo­
tion unharmed or perhaps even to the stage or state of elevation.
Not to place myself above Mr. Sato but to clarify the principles of
The New Canadian, I strongly express “my opinion” for his deroga­
tory remarks—nay, more an agitation on Mr. Sato’s, part, for his
physical sensitivity in regards to his views now, is as if cutting
stone blocks with a razor.
The New Canadian is, as its motto indicates on every issue re­
leased from its office: “An Independent Organ- For Canadians Of
Japanese Origin”. This specifically means every Japanese Canadian
(Buddhist, Christian atheist, etc) or others wishing its services are
not restricted or censored from voicing his or her beliefs or opinions
within the publication. If otherwise, we would be compelled to dis­
continue publications.
For Mr. Sato, Mr. Yoshida, and others who perhaps have missed
this point, one must realize that language can soothe the tensioned
mind or provoke it into a thousand deaths;-Whether-the accusations
are reality or fancy within the minds of the authors remains to be
seen. However, a point I -would like to bring to light-regarding the
previous statement is. if a person is wise and leams his lessons well
through experience, literature and sound communication, he is apt
to place and distribute other’s beliefs to reflect on his own know­
ledge, wisdom and conduct. In other words, an intelligent man would
not provoke nor blindly condemn another’s beliefs because he per­
ceives that which does not correspond -with his own. However, he
can capably keep values and views to “opinions”, rather than an out
and out critical remark.
In this day and age man is said to be on the verge of technical,
biological and social achievements by expansion of communications
by air, land and sea. I would not like to say that any one particular
religion or communication alone is the factor which has improved
world conditions as man must still integrate his laws to counteract,
hates of any sort. With this in mind I am of the opinion that we
have behaved and progressed through our desires, strongly support­
ed with knowledge and understanding which widen the mind to an­
other condition. In fewer words, one must trust and believe in his
own individuality rather than make sport' of another’s, and harxen
to lessons taught by the Buddhist and Christian religions, to have
wisdom, love and pity.
