God sent us to this world to

happily.
Therefore
our
human life must be a happy one,
not one of suffering. We should
live long .and enjoy each and

knowledge, but we can be wise
enough and live happily. A wise

So wisdom is not just ordinary
knowledge, but a state of being
wise. Wisdom is the power of
and
discerning
what is true
right. It is our good practical
judgement. Religiously speakingwisdom is ready insight into the
divine law. Phsychology says, our
mind consists of two parts, con
scious and subconscious minds,
.and functions three weys, think,
feel and will. It is also true that
God gave us free will and con
science
which can distinguish
right and wrong.
Taking all these truths into our
consideration, we can conclude
that wisdom, our special knowl
edge comes from our spirit (sub
conscious mind). This can show
us right from wrong and will
guide us in proper direction.

When we speak about wars and defeat, we usually
tend to think about nations, territory, armies and
charismatic leaders. Therefore, when we talk about
the internment of the Japanese Canadians during
the war and the consequences of it, we don’t generally
think of it as a defeat arising out of war or conflict,
let it is quite possible to make a case for the existence
of war — in this case, the imposition of the will of
one distinct group upon the aspirations of another, back
ed up by armed might. To do this it is necessary to go
into the purposes of war, and among these is the need
to nullify the ability of an enemy (or threat) to strike.

Ghettoes may have been viewed as a threat to the

As mentioned' previously, one way of dealing with
an enemy is to nullify his capacity to strike you. if
two discrete nations .are involved, this nullification
may come through (1) Violent, armed action against
the enemy or (2) Making the enemy economically
dependent upon you. On a majority-minority- front,
the war could be fought by (1) Taking violent action
against the minority (Hitler's final solution) or (2)
Assimilation. That is, bringing the minority7 into con
formity with your values and culture then letting
it intermarry7 when you are good and ready for it.
On the other hand, if the minority- wishes to maintain
its identity, it is possible to see that it must keep
its practical means for doing so. That is its territory,
its Ghetto or community, and its supporting capital.
For European Jews, long subject to pogroms and
petty7 discriminations at the hands of the majority,
there were also attempts at assimilation. This is a
fairly common minority nation response to pressure
from outside the group. What was probably lacking

HOLIDAY ISSUE
SECTION III
Thursday, Dec. 31, 1970
As Japanese Canadians, we were once in possession
of a nation’-. The existence of this nation was the
practical means for maintaining our cultural tradition
as well as a sense of identity with ourselves. It was
a community- that was under heavy7 pressure from a
dominant culture but one that remained distinctive,
dynamic and cohesive. I’m not trying to contend here
that this was any "paradise lost” or anything like
that. Certainly- injustices must have existed within
the community-. But if we don’t grant the community
the right to work out these inequities for itself —
why should we then grant it to the bureaucracy7 of
the larger state ? Again, I digress. In any7 event, the
opportunity 7 had arisen for Canada’s ideal of a peace
ful cultural mosaic to establish itself. But this was
not to be.
This industrious, economically near self-sufficient
community seemed to represent a threat to the status
and power of the white community. Various legisla
tive restrictions (e.g. disfranchisement) and occasional
acts of violence were brought against the community
to intimidate it and keep it “in its place”.
In spite of institutional brainwashing via the school
system and the media, the community was apparently
able to maintain enough of its identity to be able to
resist being proffered an inferior minority group po
sition.
World War II then overshadowed this tense local
confrontation — but set events in motion which in\ oh ed the whole of white Canada in the destruction
of our community. The conquerors of the Indian now
declared war on their Asian cousins.
What happened then, is history. (1) The perceived
threat was eliminated by7 destroying the Japanese
community through internment. The Japanese assumed
they would be allowed to return to their homes and
community after the war, but again, this would not
come to be. Moreover, they were reluctant and resisted
moving “east of the Rockies. ’
(2) Local opposition to the re-establishment of the
community arose again after the war and was given
federal co-operation by Mackenzie King, the prime
minister of white Canada.
(3) The capital of the community, essential if it was
ever to be re-established, was virtually confiscated
even though it was supposed to have been held in safe
keeping.
(4) The federal
government
forced the Japanese
Canadians to disperse “more or less evenly across
Canada” (in King’s words) as an alternative to de
portation.
THE NEW CANADIAN
g
led to the creation of the state of Israel.
But why go into this digression about the Jews?
Particularly knowing how unpopular is the seeming
cohesion^ of this group with the non-Jewish majority
say, in Toronto? Well, if we look at it from the stand
point of being the losers of our own battle for ter
ritory- instead of taking the majority groups’ stereo
typical attitude towards minorities (“they’re clann
ish”) we can perhaps appreciate what an accomplish
ment and against what odds the survival of a Jewish
fact has been.

(5) Once the community was destroyed, it could be as
sumed that the Japanese would be assimilated and
brought into conformity with the values of the do
minant culture. In fact, at one time it was even idealiz
ed that there be only one Japanese family per eastern
village. In these small groups the J.C.’s would be con
trollable (if not welcome) at a local level. Parenthe
tically, we may note that even “liberal” Toronto be-

In terms of contending groups and territory, the
Ghettoes may have been viewed as a threat to the
surrounding nation — a foreign body which was that
much more threatening since it existed within the
life-stream of the dominant culture.
As mentioned' previously, one way of dealing with
an enemy is to nullify his capacity to strike you. if
two discrete nations .are involved, this nullification
may come through (1) Violent, armed action against
the enemy or (2) Making the enemy economically
dependent upon you. On a majority-minority- front,
the war could be fought by (1) Taking violent action
against the minority (Hitler's final solution) or (2)
Assimilation. That is, bringing the minority7 into con
formity with your values and culture then letting
it intermarry7 when you are good and ready for it.
On the other hand, if the minority- wishes to maintain
its identity, it is possible to see that it must keep
its practical means for doing so. That is its territory,
its Ghetto or community, and its supporting capital.
For European Jews, long subject to pogroms and
petty7 discriminations at the hands of the majority,
there were also attempts at assimilation. This is a
fairly common minority nation response to pressure
from outside the group. What was probably lacking
was the practical means for assimilation as well as •
majority group intransigence. However, their histo

HOLIDAY ISSUE
SECTION III
Thursday, Dec. 31, 1970
As Japanese Canadians, we were once in possession
of a nation’-. The existence of this nation was the
practical means for maintaining our cultural tradition
as well as a sense of identity with ourselves. It was
a community- that was under heavy7 pressure from a
dominant culture but one that remained distinctive,
dynamic and cohesive. I’m not trying to contend here
that this was any "paradise lost” or anything like
that. Certainly- injustices must have existed within
the community-. But if we don’t grant the community
the right to work out these inequities for itself —
why should we then grant it to the bureaucracy7 of
the larger state ? Again, I digress. In any7 event, the
opportunity 7 had arisen for Canada’s ideal of a peace
ful cultural mosaic to establish itself. But this was
not to be.
This industrious, economically near self-sufficient
community seemed to represent a threat to the status
and power of the white community. Various legisla
tive restrictions (e.g. disfranchisement) and occasional
acts of violence were brought against the community
to intimidate it and keep it “in its place”.
In spite of institutional brainwashing via the school
system and the media, the community was apparently
able to maintain enough of its identity to be able to
resist being proffered an inferior minority group po
sition.
World War II then overshadowed this tense local
confrontation — but set events in motion which in\ oh ed the whole of white Canada in the destruction
of our community. The conquerors of the Indian now
declared war on their Asian cousins.
What happened then, is history. (1) The perceived
threat was eliminated by7 destroying the Japanese
community through internment. The Japanese assumed
they would be allowed to return to their homes and
community after the war, but again, this would not
come to be. Moreover, they were reluctant and resisted
moving “east of the Rockies. ’
(2) Local opposition to the re-establishment of the
community arose again after the war and was given
federal co-operation by Mackenzie King, the prime
minister of white Canada.
(3) The capital of the community, essential if it was
ever to be re-established, was virtually confiscated
even though it was supposed to have been held in safe
keeping.
(4) The federal
government
forced the Japanese
Canadians to disperse “more or less evenly across
Canada” (in King’s words) as an alternative to de
portation.
THE NEW CANADIAN
g
led to the creation of the state of Israel.
But why go into this digression about the Jews?
Particularly knowing how unpopular is the seeming
cohesion^ of this group with the non-Jewish majority
say, in Toronto? Well, if we look at it from the stand
point of being the losers of our own battle for ter
ritory- instead of taking the majority groups’ stereo
typical attitude towards minorities (“they’re clann
ish”) we can perhaps appreciate what an accomplish
ment and against what odds the survival of a Jewish
fact has been.

9
(5) Once the community was destroyed, it could be as
sumed that the Japanese would be assimilated and
brought into conformity with the values of the do
minant culture. In fact, at one time it was even idealiz
ed that there be only one Japanese family per eastern
village. In these small groups the J.C.’s would be con
trollable (if not welcome) at a local level. Parenthe
tically, we may note that even “liberal” Toronto be-

And had a handsome boy friend lik
e her own.
^ou are old-fashioned dressed this
way,” she told me,
“Like yesterday.. not now.” (She didn’t scold me!)
1 nodded, happy.■ certain I was doing
The very thino' to help what was
“This is not Tokyo.” she said. I didn’t
I smoothed with pride the gown I chose to wear.
And unto Buddha offered simple prayer.
1 usually prayed as Christians do
But in kimono as I was, I knew
That the great Buddha listened for
me too.
Trie women of all nations are the
Ma mother said, without ;a■ hint of blame,
“Love
universal game.”
The shock I felt was real
■ this could not be!
And when HE came, to bow
and take my hand.
Love was a miracle, reserved for him and me.
