Message From The Prime Minister
free press can of course be good or bad,
but most certainly, without freedom it will never
be anything but bad . . . Freedom is nothing else
but a chance to be better, whereas enslavement is
a certainty of the worse.”

the period ahead.
Our trade relations have been
marked by outstanding progress
in the last decade. Japan-Canada
two way trade, which amounted
to less than 300 million dollars
in 1960, had a four-fold growth
during the 1960 s, and last year s
trade is estimated to have reach­
ed 1.1 billion. The increase has
been supported by the high
growth rates of the economies,
and the complementary trade has
made a significant contribution
to our mutual prosperity.
While Japanese
exports, es­
pecially in automobiles and elec­
trical equipment, have found the
Canadian market most receptive.
Japan will continue to be a big
customer for Canadian wheat.,
timber and minerals. Moreover,
Japan-Canada co-operation has
been promoted to develop the mexhausible supply of Canadian
natural resource: The advantag?= of these economic ties will
✓enefit our economic, through
he coming decade.
Bevond these close economic
nd political ties, there was also

deep satisfaction
in observing
the growth of people-to-people
and
friendship
understanding
throughout the 1960’s. Expo .’67
in Montreal and
ka are drawing our peoples closer together. It shows how deep
the interest
in Japan of the
Canadian people and government
is that, besides the federal gov­
ernment, the Provinces of B.C.,
Ontario and Quebec are participating in Expo ’70 with their
own pavilions.
There is no doubt that, visiting Expo ’70, many Canadians
--------------will be made aware of the many
and varied aspects of contempo­
rary Japan and contribute to the
promotion of our friendship. I
hope that many of you will be
visiting Japan during the com­
ing vear to see the changes that
Japanese society has undergone.
Having been posted in Canada
less than half a year, I have a
firm determination to give my
best efforts to Japan-Canada
friendship. 1 would like to take
this opportunity to beg your as­
sistance and co-operation.

Memoirs Of Difficult
By GRACE MACINNIS, M.P
Always as we move into a new
rear we think of what is past
and we hope for what is to come.
On this, the thirtieth anniver­
sary of “The New Canadian”, I
send my warm wishes for its
future, confident that its achieve­
ments in the past will ensure its
future success.
It has a proud history. Begun
before World War II, it was al­
ways bilingual because it set it­
self the double task of serving
the Japanese-Canadian communi­
ty and of knitting up closer re­
lationships between
that com­
munity and the larger Canadian
community. I remember its edi­
tor, Mr. T. Umezuki, as one who
has always worked with many
others to build the bridge of
understanding over the canyon
of prejudice which was so deep
in British Columbia.
This anti-Oriental
prejudice
culminated in the intolerable de­
nial of the vote to persons of
Japanese, Chinese and East In­
dian origin. A great many of us
of other origins battled against
this injustice for years.
In 1936 Angus Maclnnis, then
-UP. for- Vancouver East was
instrumental in having a fourmember delegation appear before
the Franchise Committee in Ot­
tawa to press for the vote. Its
leader1 w.as Dr. S. Hayakawa,
now president of a great California university. The other’s
were Hide Hyodo (now the widow

The Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre Today
By HIDE SHIMIZU

What’s with the Centre now?
That js — in Toronto — the Ja­
panese Canadian Cultural Centre.
It has been six years now since
-Hefei
the official opening — Oct., 1966
when the Honorable Lester B.
Pearson, then the Prime Minister
of Canada did-the honors for us.
It was a proud and happy day7
es» for the Japanese and their Cana­
fe dian friends who joined in the
celebrations. We are fortunate in­
deed to have the support of these
Canadians who are interested in
us, our programs and in “things
Japanese.” Many Canadians are
also participating members of
the Centre and volunteering as­
sistance in great measure.

Tnpsday, December 30, 1969

Mrs. Hide Shimizu, wife of the late Rev. Kosaburo Shimizu, has had a di
tinguished record of service in the Japanese Canadian community.

She was a member of the first . J.C.C.L. Nisei delegation to appeal for the
B.C. franchise in Ottawa. In addition, she was the first Nisei woman appointed as

teacher in Richmond, R.C.

for this aspect of our activities,
especially7 reports of every7 pro­

groups. As it is not possible as
yet to have a 'reporter’ to round
up the ‘dope’, it falls upon the
organizations to
take on this
responsibility7. Criticism can flow
freely, but without responsible
backing to it, what value is there
in it ? The members of the Board
and the Centre are struggling
hard to carry on a task for the
whole of the Japanese populace
here. Now we have attained a
true Centre for Japanese pro­
grams. There is much room for
.mprovement, we
must admit.
There are not nearly7 as many

I wish to establish the above
because my trip to Japan must
be reflected from the viewpoint
of one whose lifetime was spent
in Canada and although my rarial background' is
Japanese,
geographically,
culturally
and
socially I am the product of a
Western environment.
The last words my friend said
io me as I departed were,, “I
want you to record your reac­
tions as you step onto Japanese
soil for the first time,” and so
when the plane landed at Hane­

was to progress.
With a blaseness that belied
my feelings of expectations, I
first took off my shirt and then
my trousers. “Take it all off,”
she persuaded', and when I awk­
wardly asked, “Must I?”, she

SACHIKO OYAMA

viously pregnant, was having a hard time with two
small children, a boy about five and a girl about a
year older. The children were crying and complaining
in childish Japanese.
“Why7 isn’t daddy' right here with us? 1 want
him right here.”
The woman was trying hard to console the children.

‘■The unsmiling man at the desk of Victoria Hotel
introduced us to each other by simply stating that
both of us would be travelling on the same ship. She
was a petite Japanese woman in olive colored suit,
and looked to be in her early thirties.

I was delighted at the prospect of a travel compaiiion and' introduced myself exuberantly.

Then I hurried.1 back to the hotel so that I would
not be late for the ship. Boarding time had been an­
nounced as between one and two p.m.

s

In the hotel lobby, Mrs. Zaiina approached me in a

a'

“I am so happy to know someone boarding the
same ship,” she said. I was slightly confused because
her attitude now was so different from that of only
a short time ago. I speculated that in the proper Ja­
panese way there was a time to be reserved and a
time to be gracious.

The little girl switched to English and said,

"How nice, I’m very happy to know you. I am Mrs.
Oyama.”
The woman was reserved, almost cold, and said
simply, “I am Mrs. Zaima.”
I felt a little embarrassed, and reminded myself
that gushiness was not the proper Japanese way.
I had thought of asking her to go with me to Macy’s, but dropped the idea and started out alone to
walk the seven or eight blocks to the departmental
store.
Macy’s of San Francisco was not too different from
the departmental stores of Montreal. I browsed around
for a while, bought a cosmetic bag, and stopped at
the cafeteria for a hot dog and coffee.

The hotel had arranged for a taxi to take the pas­
sengers to the ship. They included besides Mrs. Zaima
and myself, a very old Japanese man whose hair was
completely white. He was all dressed up in a brown
suit and tie, but he was obviously unaware that his
suit lapel was badly stained.
The taxi ride to the docks took twenty minutes. I
took a deep breath of the ocean air and felt wonder­
fully refreshed.

I looked up at the ship which was to be my home
mr the next seventeen days. It seemed rather small
to embark on a long voyage across the Pacific. But
ft looked confident, its hull immaculate in a fresh
coat of pastel blue paint which contrasted pleasantly’
Mth the white superstructures and one fat red funnel
perched jauntily amidship. Near the front end of the
Wue hull, neat white letters spelled out the name “Ar­
gentina Maru.”
The sight of the rising sun flags at both ends of
the ship filled my heart with warmth and reassurance.
Jets of water spurting out from the ship just above
the water line gave me an impression that the ship
"as a live, breathing thing.
Two smiling stewards in white jacket and black
bowtie came to help us with our baggage. We crossed
lhe gangplank, leaving behind us the firm earth beJ°nd the narrow strip of dark green water.
^ e picked up our room keys at the ship’s office,
^kt. Zaima followed one steward up to her first
class cabin, while I followed the other steward down
lhe steep stairs to the cabin class quarters.
I followed the steward through the dining room and
through narrow passageways. We passed the Japanese
ilJle baths, the washrooms and after many7 turns,
arrived before room 417. There was a faint boat-smell
everywhere.
J was disappointed with my room because there were
115 windows. I had not thought of this aspect when
J loosed the accommodation. The room was full of
baggage of my still unknown travel companions.
Tvo women came into the room and introduced

“Will we see daddy7 again?”
The mother told the children in heavily accented
English to hold the railing and wave goodbye to daddy.
Yes, daddy7 will meet them again soon.
My7 curiosity7 was aroused. I followed the tapes
being held by7 this family7 group to the shore. To my7
surprise, the other end of the tapes was held by7 a tall
occidental man wearing a dark green windbreaker.
His face was full of concern for- his departing family.

Mrs. Sachiko Oyama, once
again a welcome contribut­
or to The New Canadian
holiday feature, here gives
her perceptive narrative of
a departure from San Fran­
cisco.

editor, Kasey Oyama and

treal, Quebec.

themselves to me in Japanese. The friendly looking
elderly woman in a grey knitted suit was Mrs. Ito,
and the younger woman with short cropped hair and
wearing a light blue suit was her daughter who had
come to see her mother off.
“Please look after my mother,” said the younger
woman bowing again.

I bowed back, murmuring “doka yoroshiku.”
The warning gong sounded irritably.

We moved up to the deck where we said goodbye
to Mrs. Ito’s daughter. Mrs. Zaima came to join us
as we were watching the small crowd gathered on the
docks.
I told Mrs. Zaima that no one was seeing me off,
and I would be spared the heartache of parting. Mrs.
Zaima said she too was alone since her husband was
preparing to leave a short time later by air to meet
her in Japan.
I helped Mrs. Ito throw the colored tapes. I saw
Mrs. Ito’s daughter on the docks beside a smiling
occidental man, who I assumed was her husband. I
was a little surprised. Her manner had been so Japa­
nese that I had not expected her husband to be an
occidental.
The ship started to move. There was .a commotion
beside us on the deck. A short Japanese woman, ob-

The man in the windbreaker began to wave and
walked along the wharf to keep up with the ship.
As the ship pulled farther away, the man finally7
stopped walking7. The last tapes broke and fell into
the sea.
The woman on ship began to cry7 harder. The two
children were now quiet, staring at their daddy7 like
two tiny7 animals being torn away7 from their protector.
The tiny7 woman suddenly7 raised herself on her toes,
and her final farewell was a high-pitched1, heavily ac­
cented scream.
“Bee ke-yah-foh hun-neh—1”
Tears rolled down my cheeks and 1 searched in my7
purse for kleenex.
I turned to Mrs. Zaima beside me, and noticed that
she was crying too. She said she was reminded of her
children, a boy7 of seven and a girl of ten, who she
had left behind in Japan three years ago.
Mrs. Ifo was surprised to see us wiping our eyes.
I said to Mrs. Ito that the heartache and parting
must be a part of my destiny, even when the parting
is that of a total stranger.

*

*

*

The following afternoon, Mrs. Ito came into the
room, steadying herself against the ship’s motion.
“Lying down again,” she said, “you should walk
around more or you’ll be sick again.”
I looked up from the book I was reading. Mrs. Ito’s
cheeks were red and her eyes were sparkling with
excitment.
“Remember that lady with the two small children?”
“The children on the deck when we left San Fran­
cisco ?”
“Yes, the lady you felt so sorry for and cried.”
“Oh yes,” I said rolling over on the bed to face
her.
Mrs. Ito sat down on her bed facing me.
“Well, I got into a long conversation with her and
found out a great deal about her. She is one of the
Japanese war brides. You remember her husband who
was seeing her off? Well, he has been drafted again,
this time for the Vietnam war.”
“Oh,” I said sitting up.
“She was scared to be left alone in America, es­
pecially7 with another child on the way. So she decided
to go back to Japan where she could be with her folks
when she has her baby.
“That’s unfortunate, neh,” I said.
Mrs. Ito nodded.
Just then we were interrupted by7 a high-pitched
voice of a woman raised hysterically in anger. The
voice came from the next cabin which was separated
from our room by7 a common wall. I pictured two small
children, a boy and a girl, crying like tiny7 little ani­
mals from their mother’s anger.

This morning (Nov. 2S) I heard
over the radio that the Denver
Public School teacher’s strike for
higher wages is still unsettled,
and that tens of thousands of
children have to stay out of
school. This untasteful incident
is embarrassing the public; the
people are disgusted and even re­
sentful.
Look at the college students’
destructive violence in Japan
just terrible! But sorry to say,
this sort of situation prevails all
over' the world, not only in Japan
and America.
In spite of this fact, every one
is longing for “peace”. In Church
the members greet each other
saving “peace of the Lord be al-

ways with you”. If politicians
emphasize peace in their cam­
paign speech, they get popularity.
Even Hippies are saying “peace,
peace” all the time. But there
is no peace in many homes, com­
munities and countries. Wars,
race riots and demonstrations are
going on. We ure living in a sick
world! What
is wrong? What
mistake are we making ? We are
all in the same boat.
On the first Christmas morning
the angel of the Lord appeared
to the shepherd, and said “i
bring you news of great joy, a
joy to be shared by the whole
people”. And the angel praising

God and singing- “PEACE ON
EARTH, good will toward men.”
“(Luke 2:14).

This important message from
the angel can be interpreted by
the verse Eccles. 12:13 “Let us
heai* the conclusion of the whole
matter: Fear God, and keep His
Commandment: this is the whole
duty of man”. Are we .not ne­
glecting this duty? If so, we
can’t expect true peace within
and without.
One of His most important
commandments is written in the
Lord’s prayer, “Forgive us our

We have to know that God gave

just it’s garment. They are just

Little Girl & The Doll

Vlatilda, The Unhappy Doh
By Jean Tateishi
‘ It was evening and the town
isv in quiet darkness. Down the
Afreet the houses stood in a row,
^ome with lights on and others
tapped in the hush of a Dec­
ember night. There was one big
Veil to do looking house that
hadn’t settled for the night yet.
Tor its front windows were still
ht and Christmas lights were
strung in a merry row in the
spirit of the season. Here lived
i little girl who was about five
or so. A happy child, usually full
of mischief who had everything
in the way of toys. All her dolls
sat in a row on the shelf in her
play room. There were brunette
ones, blonde ones and a dark
skinned doll with a head of fuzzy

hair. But there was one doll
there at the very end of the shelf
that sat there with a broken arm
and bent over which seemed to
be apart from the rest of the
dolls. This doll was quite sad
and* she thought “I wish I was
beautiful as the others so she
will play with me,” but alas she
was left on the shelf and the
little girl never paid much attention to her. “I was beautiful
once and I was a favorite of hers,
then unthinkingly she was a bit
rough with me one day and 1
was left in a miserable state
and now here I am just left to
gather dust. The days passed
quickly and Christmas was fast

approaching, then one day some­
thing happened. The doll Matilda,
was sitting' there in the same
spot as usual unblinkingly look­
ing across the room when the
little girl came into the room
with her mother. Her mother
scolded her a bit and told her co
put all her many toys away and
keep the room a bit tidier. She
put her dolls where they belonged, all on her doll shelf. Then
hei' mummy said to her, you have
far too many toys so maybe we
can give some away to some
other girl or boy who might en­
joy having a toy this Christmas.
So her mother thought awhile,
then she" came and took Matilda
off the shelf. Well this made
Matilda happy but she thought
who’ll play with me when I’m
not beautiful like the others.
Anyway the situation would soon
be fixed. The little girl’s mummy
gave Matilda to a place where
they fix all broken toys brought
to them, and then they gave them
to people in need of them. Well,
Matilda went for a ride and here
she was in a car that was taking
her away to who knows where.
She wasn’t alone though, there
was all manner of toys about her,
cars, other dolls and even an
electric motorbike that was look-

ing for a new home.
Well the car came to a halt
in front of a dark looking shop
and inside a kindly old man with
spectacles over his nose was fixing broken toys. This was where
they bought Matilda
and she
knew she would soon be fixed up
too and she’d be left in some
girl’s
Christmas
stocking on
Christmas day. Well, Matilda had
a new arm and all fixed up
soon. . . The kindly old man seem­
ed to take extra care with her
and she looked like a million dol­
lar doll from her golden curls to
her two little feet encased in
white dolls shoes. Any little girl
would love her now and so Ma­
tilda would make some little girl

happy. The Santa Claus game
was being repeated throughout
the land and children with wide
eager eyes were all looking for­
ward
to
Christmas morn. In
another part of town in another
house a bit shabby and in need
of paint lived another little girl.
She w.as wondering about Santa
Claus. Well
Santa Claus took
care of her for with her Matilda
found a new home. No longer was
she the unhappy doll. So the snow
kept on falling softly creating a
winter picture of white grandeur,
and inside a shabby house it was
Christmas. . . A little girl and a
doll had been brought together
to make Christmas a happy day
in her life.

Mother's Letter To Her Sons

Section III

o My Beloved George And Kinzie
PROL
Mrs. Kane Tanaka passed away last March
in her eighty-ninth year after having lived
in Canada some sixty years of her life. One
of her proudest days was when she received
her Canadian citizenship in 1948. In her
youth, in Japan, she was a school teacher. In
Canada she lived the life of an Issei pioneer,
striking roots in Canadian soil in Vancouver,
British Columbia, and there to raise her two
sons alone following the death of her husband,
Torasaburo Tanaka, in 1924.

Canada became her new land and country,
and all of her thoughts and energies were
directed into this new outlook and she be­
came one of Canada’s citizens.
The "English language was a difficult lan­
guage for her to master. But she became a
faithful student of the language all of her
life, even to the last few months as her diary
and notebooks will attest, with the difficult
English words she had at the time encounter­
ed in her reading, carefully written down wit h
the explanatory notes recorded in Japanese.
The history of eastern Canada and some
of the history of the United States became
subjects of her great interest. She was a

studious reader and her interests ranged in
depth. In many of her particular interests
she expressed her remarkable talent, in the
Japanese written word, as the Isseis across
Canada well know, who have read her many
articles published in the Japanese section of
The New Canadian over the past years.
Mrs. Tanaka wrote a few pieces in English
which are here published unedited, in her own
English style. Her handwriting in English
itself was remarkable in the expression of
character and was the result of studied practice years ago.

Her story is a personal vignette of a great
happening, following the December 7, 1911
bombing of Pearl Harbour and World War
II, when the Canadians of Japanese ancestry
living in British Columbia were evacuated from
their homes forever —as it turned out to be
— and families became parted in the ex­
igencies of a country in wartime not yet
grown to a responsible maturity to withstand
the pressures of political reactions and public
fears. It is an expression of love of family,
and of country, and thus a critique.

George Tanaka.
