B'nai B'rith & Ottawa J.C.'s meet unmasks Canada's 1942 racism
By PADDY SHERMAN
OTTAWA. — It is psychologically unnerving, almost shattering, to
face the cold, hard truth that our own benevolent Canada was one of the
more racist countries in the world only a few short years ago, and went to
great lengths to hide it in a web of myth.

Another serious division in
Toronto J.C. redress action
Sayonara song
for old money
(National Redress Committee of Survivors)
TOKYO. — “Sayonara, Prince
Shotoku. Thank you for hav
ing been with us for so long.”
So goes the song. It is now
becoming increasingly popu
lar because the portrait of
this historic statesman
printed on Y10,000 bills will
soon be replaced by another
figure.
.
TORONTO. — A new na
tional redress organisation
has been set up for the Japa
nese Canadian community in
Canada, with main bases of
support located in Vancouver
and Toronto.
The new group, set up on
November 21, 1984, has been
named the National Redress
Committee of Survivors.
The organization has re
ceived basicsupport from JC
groups in Lethbridge, Calgary,
Hamilton, Montreal and Ot
tawa.
Officials of the group say
the new organization was
created because of serious
complaints against the Na
tional Association of Japa
nese Canadians, headed up
by its president, Art Miki, of
Winnipeg.
The name of Prince Shotoku, a statesman of the Asuka
period (latter part of the 6th
century to 710), is no doubt
associated with money
among many Japanese.
The song titled “Oh! Prince
Shotoku” sung by the Osaka
singer Hiroshi Kuni is now
selling rapidly. A total of 15,000
copies of the single have sold
since the beginning of Sep
tember.
Noriyuki Matsuyama, who
wrote the song, says he just
wanted to express the Japan
ese people's feelings about
Prince Shotoku in a song.
He and his friends are plan
ning to hold “going away par
ties” for Prince Shotoku in
Tokyo's Ginza and Shinjuku,
he said.
Should he ever be back on
a bank note, they will hold a
welcome party for him, he
said.
The new redress group
says Miki has been operating
unilaterally, without consul
tations with key redress
groups in the country and
thereby creating a worsening
climate of secrecy and divi
sion.
Of immediate concern for
the new group are talks with
the Mulroney Government,
which has said recently it
might come down with its
own redress proposal — be

within the JC community pre
vent a unified approach.
Miki, together with Tonarigumi representatives newlyelected to the Vancouver
JCCA and the Sodan group in
Toronto, is now demanding
redress compensation from

portrait of Yukichi Fukuzawa,
a prominent educator of the
Meiji era, went into circula

Kuni not only sings the
song, but does so in Prince
Shotoku costumes, with a ba
ton, beard and mustache. He
now visits snack bars and
other drinking establish

TORONTO; ONT
(By “Toronto Chapter” N.A.J.C.)
TOKYO. — Prince Norihito, nephew of the Japanese Em
peror, poses with his bride, Hisako Tottori at their recent wed
ding ceremony. The Prince, who spent three years of his
schooling in Kingston, Ontario's Queen's University, first
proposed to his bride in English. Whether the answer was in
English or Japanese is not known — but obviously it was a
“yes”.

the village on Oct. 18, 1944.
A few days later the Nisei
soldiers took part in the “res

the nearby Vosges moun

the 211 members of the Texas
unit on Oct. 30, after the Nisei
sustained 800 casualties in
less than a week of fighting.
Recently a second monu

village further into the Vos

Multiculturalism Minister
Jack Murta -~ with very little
if any consultation with the
regions.
The New group opposes
Miki's administration, be
cause he is seeking a huge
compensation settlement of
$500 million, which was
agreed upon during a highlyquestionable national con
ference earlier this year.
The new group is concern
ed about Miki's redress ma
nagement because: (1) the
$500 million figure has never
been discussed within the JC
community; (2) the $500 mil
lion demand would probably
cause widespread resent
ment in the country, because
of bad economic times and
(3) Miki and his supporters
are attempting to gain sup
port for the $500 million de
mand through highly irregular
methods and unethical stra
tegy.
Representing the new
group are two honorary-chair
men: Takeo Arakawa, of Van
couver, and Yoriki Iwasaki, of
Toronto.
Heading up the new group
are two co-chairmen: Frank
Oda, of Toronto, and Sumie
Watanabe, also of Toronto.
The new organization spent
many hours discussing the
developing redress crisis. It
made many attempts to talk
with Miki, hoping to avert a
split, but decided to take the
action after Miki refused to
answer all inquiries from
Toronto.
In denouncing Miki and for
ming the new group, officials
of the new organization re
iterated support for an Issei
redress, resolution adopted
more than a year ago — when
the crisis was first develop
ing.
The resolution, adopted
unanimously at a meeting of
some 50 Issei representatives
of welfare organizations and
church groups, reads as fol
lows:
1 — Seek a formal acknow
ledgement from the Federal
government for the injustices
imposed on Canadians of
Japanese ancestry, during
and after the Second World
War.
2 — Support the position
to seek monetary compensa
tion in the form of the group,
trust or foundation option. As
Canadian citizens, we wish to
have such funds used to com
bat racial injustices for all
Canadians to recognize the
Issei who suffered the most
from the injustices and to
perpetuate their memory ap
propriately.
3 — Support the efforts of
the Toronto JCCA in the mat
ter of redress.
4 — Support, the National
Redress Committee (now dis
solved by Miki and the NAJC)
in their work on the redress
question.
In setting up the new re
dress group, Issei representa
tives also passed a resolu
tion; condemning Miki for his
lack of action, consultation,
dictatorial rule and refusal to
meet concerns.
“That, in the circumstan
ces,” the resolution reads,
“insofar as the redress pro
blem is concerned, the To
ronto JCCA Redress Com
mittee can no longer support
the views and Actions of the
NAJC.”
The split amounts'to what
is probably the most serious
political division in the his
tory of the Japanese Cana
dian community.
Whether or not the split
spills over into national or
ganizations remains to .be
seen.
The redress issue has al
ready seriously split the JC
community in Vancouver —
where questionable actions
by a group led by Miki's
brother have caused near ir
reparable damage.
Elements in Toronto allied
with the Mikis have already
caused serious divisions —
but worse is expected soon
when a newly-formed group
allied with the SODAN organ
ization will be set up in an at
tempt to gain a highly-suspect
political voice in the com
munity.
It is calling itself T.O.R.A.,
short for Toronto Organiza
tion for Redress Action. It is
headed up by Wes Fujiwara
and Bill Kobayashi of Toronto,
