REDRESS AND THE WAR TIME YEARS
(Vancouver J.C.C.A._Bulletln)
The following is an edited transcript of a speech given at the Com­
munity Forum on Redress, held on Aug. 3 at the Japanese Language
School. At the outbreak of WWII, Mr. Shoyama was editor of The New
Canadian and in the following years he continued to be one of the
principal leaders of the Japanese Canadian community. Since then
he had an illustrious career as an economist and served as the
Deputy Minister of Finance under an earlier Liberal government. At
present, Mr. Shoyama teaches at the University of Victoria and
serves on the Board of a number of large corporations.

I would first like to say how glad I
am to be here with all of you this
evening. I see many old friends who
share with me many memories of this
hall. There are many, many ghosts in
this hall. I think obviously of Sato
Sensei and Mrs. Sato, but many
others, young and old, living and
dead. And I must say I want tot give a
special greeting to Grace Maclnnes,
with whom I had the pleasure of

working with, over many, many years,
and especially with her husband
Angus and many of our colleagues.
Seeing her reminds me, of course, of
Tommy Douglas, and thinking of
Tommy Douglas reminds me of his
very wise words: “that the mind can
only absorb what the seat can en­
dure.”

Talks on Redress indicate
“general agreement” on
apology & compensation

Paranoiac
masterbation
By VIC OGURA
We are now entering into
negotiations with the Gov­
ernment. It is unfortunate that
most JC's across Canada are
unaware as to what is trans­
piring. For the Japanese Can­
adian community to nurture
as an ethnic body, communi­
cation to arrive at consensus
is vital.
Following is a report as to
our established position, and
its ramifications.
It was decided unanamously by the NAJC council a year
ago in Winnipeg that redress
was to be approached as fol­
lows:

Art Miki, in a recent inter­
view in the Globe & Mail, said
he is not interested in the
money... he doesn't need it!
Than, a few days later in Otta­
wa, he told the media we
might sue the government if
we didn't get monetary com­
pensation, meaning by impli­
cation 500 million. At a recent
council meeting, Art Miki was
reprimanded by a council
member and the VP of the
NAJC of being “dissidents”.
And this after council had or­
dered Miki to send an apo­
logy to three members of the
NAJC for a similar vulgar in­
fraction.
We are not running a Mickey
Mouse show. We are partici­
pants in a cause which de­
serves dignity and mutual
trust!
What irks many, including
our fellow Canadians, is the
hypocritical contrived grie­
vance some who were not
present during evacuation go
through. They contort their
countenance and psyche and
snarl “it festers, it rancours.”
Bull Shit! Who do they think
they are kidding!
Embarrassed by some of
this emoting at a recent
meeting with government of­
ficials, I apologized to the
members of Sec. of State,
and expressed the opinion
that many of us are very ap­
preciative of the new stance
of the government. That we
would like to reciprocate this
show of good faith and wish
to begin negotiations with
sincerity and dignity. Highly
disturbed by the comments
of a couple of council mem­
bers, I accused them of prac­
titioners of “paranoiac mas­
turbation.”
We Japanese Canadians
are not seeking vengeance,
and we must not allow a vocal
few to use evacuation as a
scapegoat to justify their fail­
ures. The measure of one's
maturity is in how he picks up

Regardless of Don Rosen­

The Government wants to
promote the package deal
because it allows them to
neutralize their guilt by plea

be changed, it must receive
councils approval. As a coun­
cil member, I voted against
this motion. It is worthy to
note that Ottawa who made
the motion tried to get it res­
cinded recently.
Put in this perspective, the
implications are simple. On
the one hand our demands
are clearly layed out by coun­
cil. On the other hand, if there
is to be any deviation, IT
MUST BE VALIDATED BY
COUNCIL. Let it be clearly
understood that neither the

members of the Sec. of state,

disturbed by the naivette and
lack of sophistication dis­

Breakfast
drink

By DELPHINE HIRASUMA
Every morning as I head to
my office, I pass by a half
dozen people sitting at their
desks having diet colas for
breakfast. Immediately my
stomach goes queasy.
Actually, I'm a fairly unconventional person, but my
stomach is an unshakeable
traditionalist. It believes that
when it comes to food and
eating habits, there should be
a sense of order, established
from centuries of triai-anderror, gastritis and indiges­
tion.
Having a diet cola for break­
fast violates all my stomach's
cherished beliefs.
I have argued this point, on
behalf of my stomach, with
my secretary who starts her
morning with a carbonated
orange drink. “How can you
abuse yourself like that
before 8:30 in the morning?” I
have asked on repeated occa­
sions.
“Orange is good for you,”
she retorts, toasting me with
her can.
Secretly, I believe that the
stomachs of the world will
rise up someday and punish
all those who feed them ab­
normal foods or beverages
before they have a chance to
become fully awake. Then
they are going to go after
those people who put mayon­
naise or catsup on sashimi
and shoyu on rice.
Of all the body's vital or­
gans, I think that the stomach
is the most tempermental
and vindictive. If you don't
believe me, consider how
swiftly it punishes you after
you eat something it didn't
like.
“One of these days your
stomach will take its revenge,”
I've warned my secretary.
She laughs carefreely - but so
did the people in Pompeii be­
fore Vesuvius exploded in
their face.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express our
deep appreciation to our
relatives and friends for
their support, kind words

Fund raising for Redress activities
On Dec. 15,1984, the federal government finally agreed
to enter into negotiations with the National Association of
Japanese Canadians to resolve the issue of Redress for
Japanese Canadians unjustly incarcerated during and after
World War II. After many months of discussions and nume­
rous meetings of the NAJC, over a period of a year, urging
the government to negotiate with us, they have finally
agreed to this process.
This has been the most significant break-through since
the Redress campaign became the major issue of the NA­
JC at the National Council meeting in Winnipeg, on Jan.
20,1984.
Two meetings with government representatives have
already been held and many more are planned for the com­
ing months. There is a substantial amount of work ahead
for the NAJC with a heavy schedule of meetings both
within the organization and with government officials.
—To conduct these negotiations, considerable expen­
ditures are involved in terms of meetings, research sup­
port, communications, travel and lodgings, etc. aside from
the actual process of negotiations. The government is
supporting a significant portion of the costs of negotia­
tions, but we as a community must bear our share as well.
Therefore, we are appealing for your support by contri­
buting to the National Fund Drive for the NAJC which
has been so actively involved on Redress issues on your
behalf.
Please use the attached tear-off to make your donation.
