Hosokawa,

good citizens, but it firmly establishes the truth "that we are ind­
eed of the community,' that we belong, that we love our country
and are part of at and are anxious to contribute to its progress and
improvement. We establish the fact that we are not necessarily
quote different unquote, and hopefully some day they will quit as­
king how long you’ve been in bur country. No public relations pro­
gram to sell ourselves is more effective than this, for it is cond­
ucted on a warm, human, people-to-people basis. The best part of
it is that it requires nothing more than, effort.
Perhaps unconsciously, and certainly unintentionally, we encourage others to stereotype us when we gather in primarily ethnic organizations such as the Japanese American Citizens League and the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre. Yet we know
that .such organizations are necessary and desirable even as we
seek recognition as individuals. Somehow^ we must utilize the one
as an aid in achieving the other.
'
One of the ironies1‘of the relationship between the United Sta­
tes and Canada is that while we are neighbours, we know so little about each other. To be more accurate, Canadians know much more
about the United (States than Americans know about Canada if
only because the States, being more populous, dominate the con­
tinent. Whatever the case, _we need more .knowledge, more under­
standing about each other, more appreciation of xour individual
and mutual problems and a spirit of willingness to-cooperate in
their solution. And so it should be with those of us who share a
common Japanese ancestry as well as the North American land
mass. Since we have problems in common, then"why not share our
experiences and know-how in an'effort to achieve our mutual ob­
jectives?
Your invitation to me to meet with you will be, I hope, a
happy beginning for further exchanges. I am sure that JACL-pre­
sident ;Shigeki Sugiyama, as well as other prominent Japanese Americans, have important and interesting thoughts to share with
you. By the same token the JACL at‘ its next national convention
“two years from now would be well-advised to invite Japanese Ca*—
nadians as speakers and observers. Both of us would benefit from
such an exchange.
,
If l may inject a personal note, this is my third visit to Ca­
nada in the last 14 months, and each trip has increased my appre­
ciation for. this country, and particularly for the Japanese Canadi­
ans. Some, of you 'may be aware that I spent the first 23 years of
my life in Seattle, less than a hundred miles from the Canadian
border. Yet in all those years I never* had the opportunity to visit
British Columbia. Those were grim times and there never seemed
to be enough money for such pleasures. But times have changed,
and today it is possible for an organization to invite a speaker
from half way across the continent. With such easy mobility there
is no excuse for not establishing closer relationships. .What I am
suggesting, I' suppose, is a kind of informal, unofficial ILS.rCanadian alliance among their repective minorities of Japanese desc­
ent, with the purpose of cooperating■ to enchance their social, po­
litical and economic welfare.
Does this'proposal sound feasible ?. I hope you will think so.
We do not need Henry Kissinger to negotiate a treaty because
we speak the - same language, we have similar backgrounds and
like experiences, and; we need only an opportunity to meet to undestand each other.
With this thought, I wish to thank you for giving me the
opportunity to share my thinking with you. It has been a pleasure
to' be here and to get to know so many of you. I hope you will
welcome me back for a more leisurely visit some time soon. .
