Section II
“Reparations and official apologies for J.C Evacuation is a
dead issue... .forget and forgive... .let bygones be bygones”
By GEORGE TAMAKI, Q.C.
Introduction of speech to the J.C. Business & Professional Assoc.
I deeply appreciate the oppor
tunity of speaking: to this Ina
ugural Dinner Meeting of The
Japanese Canadian Business and
Professional Association. On lo
oking about here, I see a number
of friends of long standing. Be
fore this dinner, I also had the
pleasure of making new acquain
tances with many^persons I have
known only by reputation. I rea

was to have been asked to be
present tonight.
Your chairman gave me com-s
plete freedom on the choice of
my subject. That is a most dan
gerous thing to do with anyone
— much more so with a lawyer.
I recall the story of the exper
ience of a young lawyer who was
invited to explain
some
new
tax laws to a group of farmers
out in Western Canada. When
he got got to the meeting, all
the farmers had rifles bn their
tables and they were
pointed
toward the speaker’s table. Wh
en, the young lawyer
finished
his talk, he asked , the Chairman
why all the guns were pointed
toward him. The Chairman rep
lied, ‘‘Don’t worry. If you were
lousy, they were going to shoot
me, not you!”

only woman in his life),
blind father, his brother MacDougal, and his sister Isabel were
all dead. He was now a lonely
bachelor with no family nor intimate friends. Although by this
time he could afford a

did
not miss its satisfactions.” His
ideal- of a wife was a woman
of means, who could support and
enhance her husband’s - career,
be beautiful and educated, poli
tically wise, cultured and a lo
ver of the outdoors, but not one
of “those doggy women -in twe

It was in this psychological
state of loneliness that he turned
to spiritualism for comfort through. communication with his dej: ad family, especially his mother.
His first attempt at contacting

that it was possible to communi^■ cate with the dead, and he claimed to have “talked” with his

Two Poems By Joy Kogawa
The Day After
The Year 1942
By JOY KOGAWA
1942
we descend the shaft
the journey is underground
the darkness is so dense
it is almost solid
circumscribed by the memory
of the light
the weight of the darkness
is the consciousness
of the absense of light
i am no longer certain
whether this1 is a cluttered attic
a waiting room, a tunnel, a train
no clock marks
the passing of the hours
there is no beginning no
end to the forest
or the dust storm no
edge from which to know
where the clearing begins
here in this familiar density
beneath this cloak within
ths carapace is the
longing within the darkness
much longing makes
the corridor walls break
the journey is multidirectional
1942
we are leaving the B.C. coast
rain
cloud
mist
an air overladen
with weeping
behind us lies >
a salty sea
within which swim
our drowning specks of memory
small waterlogged eulogies
we are trundling down to
middle earth with
pick axe eyes
tunnelling by train
to the Interior
carried along by the
momentum of the expulsion
between paradise and the apocalypse
into the waiting wilderness
we are hammers and chisels
in the hands of would-be sculptors
battering the spirit
of the sleeping mountain
we are the chips and sand
the fragments of fragments
that fly like arrows
from the heart of the rock
we are the silences
that speak from stone
we are the spaces
between subject and object
in a dualistic imagination
we are the despised rendered voiceless
stripped of car, radio, camera
and every means of communication
a trainload of eyes
cvered with mud and spittle
sent to Siloam
.
the pool called ‘sent’
.
sent to the sending
that we might bring sight
we are the silent watchers
hurled from the land of the blind
sacrificed on the altar
of the blind god of the blind
we are the superior and sub-human
the scholarly and the illiterate
the envied and the ugly
the fierce and the docile
we are those pioneers
who cleared the bush
and the forest with our hands
we are the 'Findhorn community of Canada
with our special strawberry and vegatable gnomes
tending and attending the
*
soil with our tenderness
we are desperate and unrequited lovers
giving gifts to the thieves
•
who steal our land
offering our widow’s mite
to the Fraser Valley Flood Relief fund
we are the fishermen
who are flung from the sea
to flounder in the dust
of the prairies
.
we are the Issei
and the Nisei and the Sansei
the Japanese Canadians
plundered and ravaged
who disappeared into the future
undemanding as dew
we 'have gone and we are going
with dignity and grace
fragrant as the gardens we once tended
sturdy as the boats we once built
generous and gentle as our thoughtful hands
and enduring as the honour
that attends our departing
the quality of our spirit, Minasan
is the measure of our greatness
Omedeto, my people
we have not failed
By JOY KOGAWA
The day after Sato sensei
received the Order of Canada he
told some former pupils in Ottawa
the honour he received
was their honour, their glory
their achievement
and one former pupil remembered
the time Sensei met the Emperor
and was given a rice cake
how he brought it back to Vancouver
took it to a baker and
had it crushed into powder
so that each pupil might
receive a tiny bit
and someone suggested
he take the Order of Canada medal
and grind it to bits
to share with them
