OTTAWA — Prime Minister
Pierre Trudeau says he doesn't favor compensating Ja­
panese Canadians for unjust
acts perpetrated by govern­
ment on their forbears.
Commenting on calls for
compensation for the Japa­
nese Canadians who were
uprooted in World War II, he
told the House of Commons

he prefers to be “just in our
time” rather than try “to cor­
rect the economic consequ­

mitted in the past to whole

The legend of the silent Nisei
We seek him here,
We seek him there,
We seek him everywhere...
But this time the quarry is
the elusive silent Nisei.
The question that has been
haunting me for some time is
that two important books
about the wartime experience
of Japanese Canadians carry
an erroneous portrait of the
Nisei.
The first book says “it is
impossible to asses the psy-

_
etiological effects of the eva­
cuation on the Nisei.”
Although not spelled out,
the implication is that the ef­
fects are at least deep and
serious.
The author comes to the
conclusion that “memories
of their incarceration in the
British Columbia camps re­
main an indelible scar which
is generally carefully con­
cealed from the public eye.”
This, he continues, puzzles
researchers and Sansei who
find Nisei reluctant to talk
of the past.
The silent Nisei theme is
repeated in later paragraphs
discussing the Sansei. The
Sansei “find their parents
old-fashioned, unprepared to
understand theirambivalence
and unwilling to talk of the
past.”
The author is puzzled by
the Nisei's silence, apparent­
ly not quite ready to compare
the “traumatic events” expe­
rienced by the Nisei to the
suffering of the Jews in Eu­

rope, or of the near starvation
of the postwar Japanese.
. The second book may have
taken the silent Nisei cue
from the first book since the
treatment is similar.
The second book states:
“Although outwardly they
appear to have recovered, Ja­
panese Canadians still carry
the scars of their wartime ex­
perience ...” For the Nisei, in
the form of “social silence.”
The author continues the
description of the postwar
Nisei. “The Nisei blamed
themselves for what happen­
ed to them.” Like a rape victim
told that it was her own fault,
Japanese Canadians were
confused and ashamed.”
But did the wartime ex­
perience drive the Nisei to
silence? Did they feel
ashamed? Do they bear
scars? Or were they bleeding
inside and was hiding it and
didn't want to talk about it?
The feeling I have is that

Japan' s wheel-less train
TOKYO — Japan Air Lines
unveiled a wheel-less train of
the future that floats above
its tracks on a cushion of
magnetism. The sleek and fu­

turistic “floating train” dubb­
ed HSST-Expo ’85 is expect­

ed to go into demonstration
service at the Science Expo
at Tsukuba, 60 kilometers
north-east of Tokyo, opening
in April next year. The linear
motor train is 13.8 meters
long and is said to weigh 15
tons.

Japanese TV commercial
beats “Where's the beef”
LOS ANGELES — A toy
fireman climbing to the top
of a 15-story building in a 30second Japanese television
ad bested Wendy's “Where's
the beef?” spot as the world's
best TV commercial recently
at the 24th International Broad­
casting Awards in Century.
City.The TV sweepstakes win­
ner was for National Heo HiTop Batteries.
It narrowly edged out the
“Where's the beef?” ad for
Wendy's Hamburgers which
has become a byword in tire
current campaign for the
Democratic nomination for
president.

That commercial, starring
Clara Peller, won trophies as
the world's best 30-second
live action English language
commercial produced in the
United States and as the
world's best humorous com­
mercial.
The radio sweepstakes win­
ner was a 60 second humo­

rous commercial for Lee Can­
ada Jeans titled “Too Tight.”
The annual event, spon­
sored by the Hollywood Ra­
dio & Television Society, also
honored Lee Majors, star of
ABC's “The Fall Guy,” as
“Man of the Year.”
Dick Clark was the master
of ceremonies at the black­
tie affair, which drew some
1,400 advertising and broad­
cast executives.
The United States took five
of the 12 television trophies,
England four, Japan two and
Australia one.
In radio, Canada captured
four trophies, the U.S. had
three, and Australia and New
Zealand each got one.
It was the best showing for
foreign entries in the history
of the IBA competition.
Approximately 5,000 ent­
ries from 53 nations were
considered in selecting the v
IBA winners. Nineteen coun­
tries qualified for the final
judging, a record^

know the prewar Nisei. Nor
understand the postwar Nisei;
I believe the authors were
puzzled when the Nisei did
not behave like victims, and
thought that they were hiding
the hurt
Because of the nature of
my work, I met a large
number of Nisei in widely dif­
fering circumstances during
and immediately after the
war.
Invariably I found that they
had survived the ordeals with
a remarkably healthy attitude.
I found in them optimism,,
confidence, a sense of libera­
tion, a hope for the future —
things that were not common
in any group of prewar Nisei.
I felt that they were throw­
ing off their complexes — in­
feriority complex, complex
towards the white races —
complexes that stalked even
the most intelligent and am­
bitious of the prewar Nisei.
It was in the prewar days
that Japanese Canadians felt
guilty and ashamed. Guilty
for not assimilating, guilty
for sticking together, guilty
that the Japanese had a low
standard of living, that they
“breed like rabbits.”
I remember leading a dis­
cussion group once and chal­
lenging the audience with the
i.
question: “Would discrimina­
tion cease if all Japanese Ca­
nadians behaved like model
citizens?” The reaction of the
audience was of such confu­
sion and pessimism that a
United Church minister and
a prominent Nisei leader felt
it was necessary to stand up
and speak words to lift the
veil of gloom. ’ '
It was also a time when
charismatic Issei leaders like
Etsuji Suzuki made inspiring
speeches on the need to take
' common action with whites,
to form trade unions rather
than act as strike breakers.
Mrs. Suzuki set up self impro­
vement programs for the Issei
— ballrom dance instructions,
poetry clubs, dessiminating
birth control methods, etc.
It was a time of the Nisei

600 is the oldest among them
according to the experts.
The discovery was made
when a joint team of Japa­
nese and Korean scholars
conducted research at tem­
ples and shrines in three
towns on Tsushima from Feb.
7 to 9.
The team found the statue,
whose upper part of the body
had been lost, at Jorinji Tem­
ple in Mitsushima Town:
The seated image rests the
left foot on a lotus-petal foot­
rest with the right leg crossed
over the left in such a way
that the foot rests on the left
knee.
Judging from the drapery
carved in half circles as well
as the posture of the left leg
and the shape of lotus-petal
footrest the experts have a
growing belief that the statue
is a seated meditating Mai­
treya (Miroku) image of Paek­
che origin.
Experts also say the dis­
covered statue resembles
another gilt-bronze seated
image owned- by Kansho-in
Temple in
Matsukawa
Village, Nagano Prefecture,
which is designated as an
important cultural asset of
Japan.

TOKYO. — Art historians
of Japan and South Korea
recently discovered a gilt­
bronze sealed Buddhist im­
age at a temple in Mitsushima
Town on the island of Tsushi­
ma, Nagasaki Prefecture.
They believe the image was
imported from Paekche (ca.
4th to 7th century), a country
on the Korean Peninsula
known as Kudara in Japan.
Located between Korea
and Japan, Tsushima is be­
lieved to have played an im­
portant role in exchanges be­
tween the two countries in
ancient times. The scholars
say the discovered image has
confirmed this belief.
More than 100 Buddhist im­
ages made Of gilt bronze,
stone or wood, have been
found on Tsushima. The new­
ly founded one, considered to
date back to around the year

time when effects of the de­
pression was lingering. When
the newspapers ran cartoons
depicting the grinning, largetoothed, bespectacled Japa­
nese faces.
It was a time when the Nisei
were second class citizens,
lacking the vote, the right
to enter certain professions,
when they had to accept a
lower scale of wages for
Asiatics for the same work as
the whites.
Unless these facts are
known, it is impossible to
judge how much the postwar
Nisei differs from his prewar
self.
I don' t think the Nisei were
traumatized by their wartime
experience.
I don' t think they were ever
confused and ashamed in the
postwar days. If anything they
retained a healthy indigna­
tion. .
I don't think the Nisei
sought “refuge from the
trauma of their experience”
when they went after “middle­
class Canadian culture” and
material achievements. I think
they were stepping in with
glee into the mainstream of
Canadian opportunities which
were not available to them
before.
It comes as a surprise to
me that the Nisei are silent.
Or that the Sansei are flustrated at their silence. If there
are Sansei who wish to know
the past, I can refer them to
any number of Nisei who will
talk their heads off.
Having written all this, I
feel a little guilty that I am
letting down those writers
who would plead the Japa­
nese Canadian cause.
Perhaps the Nisei should
assume the “victim's role,”
as prescribed in the books.
Perhaps we should find for
ourselves an obscure pede­
stal and oh it strike a pose,
like Evangeline, of the silent
Nisei, struck mute by the
trauma of the wartime ordeal,
a memorial to man's inhuma­
nity to a minority. Even if
not true.

Sansei writer
wins L.A. Press
Club's “Best
Editorial” award

LOS ANGELES-American
Sansei writer, Teresa Marie
Watanabe of the Los Angeles
Herald-Examiner recently won
the Los Angeles Press Club's
1984 “Best Editorial” award.
The attractive 26-year-old
writer Watanabe grew up in
Seattle, one of eight child­
ren in a Catholic family, and
credits her education in pa­
rochial schools as being a
major factor in her becoming
a writer.
“I 've always been interest­
ed in writing, I guess it's be­
cause Catholic schools seemed to stress writing more than
the public schools.”
Journalism, however, was­
n't Watanabe's first career
choice. She once held inspira­
tions of being a lawyer. She
holds double USC bachelor's
degrees, one in East Asian
Languages and Cultures and
the other in journalism.
