Statement from the National Redress Committee of Survivors
(By National Redress Committee of Survivors)

Recently, the National Association off Japanese Canadians (NAJC)
began negotiations on Redress with a task ffprce off the Ministry of State
for Multiculturalism.
The NAJC has stated that it represents the total Japanese Cana­
dian community in these negotiations.
We, the National Redress Committee off Survivors, hereby advise the
NAJC does not represent the opinion off the majority off the community.
Therefore, we regret that we cannot support the process off negotiation
underway, and the actions off the parties involved, namely the NAJC and

the Government Task Force.
Furthermore, we regret very sincerely that the thought off “substan­
tial individual ffinancial compensation” being promoted by the NAJC
has attracted some support at the very high cost off “tearing apart” the
unity off the community.
Having stated our reservations as to the process currently under­
way, we wish to state our position.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We believe the community and the country are in favour off a proper
formal acknowledgement from the Federal

Learning
from the
humble turtle
By VIC OGURA
The turtle is a wondrous
amphibian to behold, espe­
cially when it is performing in
water. On land it seemingly is
one of the most lugubrious
antiquated remnants of the
evolutionary process. There
is, however, at least one
fascinating characteristic that
we might focus on.
As we know, turtles have
that protective shell that
is a defensive device. Inte­
restingly there is one other
species that through the cen­
turies, has broken through
this armour-plate, and has.
made an indent above the
head forming a collar thus
enabling this species to raise
its head to partake of edibles
hangings from branches, and
more importantly, if I may
euphomize, allowing it to
“look towards heaven!”,
while their brethens are still
forced to exist in a pedestrian
manner, and often dying dur­
ing droughts.
I have been a participant­
observer of the redress pro­
cess for the past few years.
As an observer, I have been
reporting the events, without
ever knowingly distorting or
fabricating. As a participant
I have always attempted to
play the role of catalyst or
mediator. In business we call
it “lateral positioning”, in
that we never lock ourselves
into becoming pedantic or
dogmatic. If new information,
or if - events dictate a reevaluation, you move laterally
accordingly.
I have noted with dismay
that there are a few involved
in redress who have taken a
rigid posture of inflexibility.
Solutions are usually accom­
plished through an easing of
tension. “Relax”, an athlete
is told, marriage councillors
agree that the phrase “I'm
sorry” does more for marital

OTTAWA. — In the House
of Commons debates on Jan­
uary 22nd, Mr. Sergio Marchi
(York West) questioned the
Minister of State (Multicultur­
alism), Mr. Jack Murta on the
Redress negotiations inquiry
on the internment of Japanese
Canadians during World War
2. The exchange was recorded

Are Japanese Canadians
still getting the runaround?
Reprinted from The Globe and Mail, Jan. 30, 1985

The Jan. 25 account of
the redress question hints
once again that the com­
munity is a victim of a sini­
ster piot (Japanese Cana­
dians Must Okay Redress,
Opposition Says).
Asa reason for not nego­
tiating with the Japanese
Canadians, Multiculturalism
Minister Jack Murta says,
“We've talked. We've had
many, many meetings and
discussions with them, it's
not news to anybody that
the Japanese community
has got some divisions
within itself so that makes
the discussions, I suppose,
a little more difficult than
might otherwise be. the
case. ”
Who has he been talking
to? THe National Associa­
tion of Japanese Canadians
has had just two meetings
with the Government to at­
tempt to negotiate a settle­
ment. The association has
never before had such
united support from all
the communities across the
country; the association
represents the community.
Any organization can be
discredited if one choses
to give credence to the

fringe elements within it.
The minister seems to have
chosen this route to dis­
pose quickly and unilateral­
ly of what is unquestion­
ably a thorny problem.
On the following page of
this edition — literally the
other side of the story —
appears the article Lifting
Veil of Secrecy On 30-YearOld Cabinet Paper, which
states: “Racial feelings
against non-whites creep
into cabinet discussions.”
Similarly, release of govern- •
ment documents 30 years
after the events of the
1940s reveal that the in­
carceration of the Japan­
ese Canadians was motiva­
ted by racial bias and poiiticai expediency, under the
guise of national security
and the safety of the Japa­
nese Canadians.
Mr. Murta now says, “Nev­
ertheless, as a Government
we are going to make an
honest effort to do what we
consider is best for the
Japanese community.” Will
we have to wait another 30
years to find out the real
motives behind these sta­
tements?

Statement...

The New Canadian
Established 1939

Government for the injustices
imposed on Canadians of Ja­
panese ancestry during and
after the Second World War.
COMPENSATION
Contrary to statements
made by some members and
associates of the NAJC, we
have never supported the
position of no monetary com­
pensation. However we have
always supported a position
of reason and honor in our
quest in keeping with the dig­
nity which was and still is the
style of the Issei, the first
generation immigrants, who
suffered the most from these
injustices.
Recognizing the insur­
mountable difficulties of ap­
praising claims for awards on
an individual basis, we have
supported compensation in a
group form, in a trust or foun­
dation.
Fully recognizing the grave­
ness of the injustices and
the consequences thereof,
we still believe it is not
right to attach monetary val­
ues to human rights.
We do however, support
claims for losses incurred
due to the sale of properties
and goods at severely de­
pressed prices; loss of goods
left in trust, safekeeping
and/or stored in homes (in
good faith on the promise of
the custodian); properties
and goods sold by the custo­
dian at very low prices (these
items were handed over to
the custodian for safekeeping
until the owners' return at
the termination of the war).
Though, as Canadians, we
are well aware of the poor
economic health of our coun­
try, still we trust that the gov­
ernment, having acknowledged
the injustices imposed and
the justness of these claims,
wil make meaningful com­
pensation.
We would expect that a
cross-section of the Japanese
Canadian community will be
represented in the governing
body of Canadians appointed
to administer the fund.
It is a grave fear of our com­
mittee that the exhorbitant
compensation goal being
pushed by a very small core
group of activists in the NAJC

is of such magnitude as to
put the Government in an un­
tenable position that could
force them to set out a less
than optimum Redress pack­
age, which the country would
support because of the seem­
ing greed of the NAJC and
the total lack of any sense of
foregiveness towards our fellow Canadians. _______ __

of the last number of weeks we have
had what I consider to be very posi­
tive discussions with this important
community, in order to try to settle
what many people believe — certain­
ly the majority of people in this coun­
try — is ^ blot against the rights of a
particular group of people. I believe
the outcome of our discussions with
them, and what we hopefully do col­
lectively on the floor of the House of
Commons, will do credit not only to
ourselves but to Japanese Canadians.

harmony than anything else.
With all your technology,
without the lubricant of “will­
ingness”, you fail.

To anyone involved with
redress it is obvious that we
suffer from the “hardening
of the arteries.” At council
meetings in communications
from NEC, whether it's inten­
tional or not, the abrasive
confrontational atmosphere is
relentlessly promoted. Those
who do not join the chorus
are labeled “dissident”, and
if you are a council member
who does not blindly give his
stamp of compliance, politi­
cal maneuvers are initiated to
undermine your credibility.
It is indeed a sad commen­
tary, but one must conclude
that possibly we have two
species of turtles in our com­
munity: those that look up
towards heaven and say let's
get together and work togeth­
er, and those that plod on
laboriously groveling with
myopic tunnel vision, with
ironically their armour of ig­
norance being their protective
shell for survival.
