82% favored both, 14% favoured an acknowledgement, 4% favoured
an apology.

property, wages, education or civil liberties? 86% favoured compensa­
tion for loss of property, 64% favoured compensation for loss of
wages, 72% favoured compensation for loss of education, 96%
favoured compensation for loss of civil liberties, 2% favoured no com­

“I'm for N.A.J.C. all the

“When I speak of individual

“It is essential that all the
Toronto redress committee
get together to form a united
body. Without this we appear
fragmented and disorganized.
Consequently, it becomes
more unlikely that the gov­
ernment will offer the J.C.
community a just deal.”
“As long as we are divided,

we cannot proceed with a
united front. Let's support
the real issues and not jockey
for power.”
“Solidarity with N.A.J.C.
“Toronto Chapter” is doing a
good job. Thank you all.”
“War Measures Act is O.K.,
depending on situation e.g.
Quebec.”
“I, for one, strongly and
whole heartedly should be
compensated individually.
My parents, my brother's kid
still living in Toronto are suf­
fering from this situation.”
“Individual redress to
evacuees and/or their families
is the only moral form of com­
pensation. We should be trea­
ted as individuals (and not by
racial group) as we suffered
as individuals.”

“In pursuing loss of proper­

Kodo Demon Drummers at Ryerson
Theatre from Feb. 27th to March 3rd
TORONTO — The Kodo Demond Drummers and Dancers of Sado will be
performing at Ryerson Theatre, 43 Gerrard Street from February 27th to March
3rd. This electrifying group played to sold-out performances when they made
their debut here in October 1982.
THe group lives communally on Sado Island in the Sea of Japan. Each
day the members maintain a rigid discipline: running 12 to 24 miles, and prac­
ticing not only the traditional drums, dances and songs, but also ballet and
Japanese calligraphy. Their main activity, however centers on the taiko
(drum), perhaps the most primal of musical instruments.
In ancient Japan, the taiko was the symbol of the community, and it is said
that the village limits were not solely determined by geography, but by the
farthest distance at which the taiko could be heard. It is Kodo's hope, on the
One Earth Tour, to bring the sounds of the taiko to the ears of the people
around the world, so that we might all be reminded of our membership in that
much larger and more important village of the world.
The name Kodo has two meanings: one is “heartbeat”, the other “children
of the drum”. The sound of the great taiko has been compared to the sound
of a mother's heartbeat as heard and felt from within the womb, and it is
Kodo's desire to play the drums with the heart of a child.
Since their sensational 1975 U.S. debut, when they ran the Boston
Marathon iand then played I a concert at the finish line, Kodo has performed
throughout the U.S., Europe, Asia, Canada and Mexico, receiving the highest
public and critical acclaim. In 1984 alone, among many other appearances,
they performed at the World's Fair in New Orleans; at the Olympic Art
Festival in Los Angeles, where their performance were the first among 50 par­
ticipants to sell out; at London's Drury Lane Theatre, where they had to add
an extra week of performances to accommodate audience demand; and at
the Berlin Festival, where they broke the attandance record for a single perfor­
mance. In 1985 Kodo will tour in the U.S.A., Canada. Eurooe and Japan, and
will be featured guests at the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland.
Kodo does not merely preserve the past, but creates a vital and living tradi­
tion, inspired by the old, yet expressing something very new.

Koyu Camp Reunion Sat., March 30
TORONTO — If you long for warm summer days beside
the lake, you can speed up the arrival of July and August by
attending the Koyu Camp Reunion. Koyu is the camp of the
Toronto Japanese United Church and over the past 11 years,
dozens of camps and retreats have been held. If you have
been a dirictor, counsellor, cook, camper, retreater, or have
had any other connection with the camp, you are invited to the
Reunion on Saturday, March 30, 1985 6:30 p.m.
This event will be held at the Toronto Japanese United
Church, 701 Dovercourt Road (south of Bloor) in Toronto.
Reminisce as you watch slides, photographs, and skits of
previous camp activities. If you are lucky enough, claim that
valuable camp craft that you left behind years ago and meet
your former cabinmates.

Proceeds will go towards the operation and maintenance
of the camp, as well as the hiring of a camp coordinator to
oversee the summer program of Koyu Camp. Your ticket (onethird for a Japanese meal and two thirds for a tax-deductible
donation) is $15 for adults, $6 for students, and $4.50 for
children under 12 years. Additional information and tickets
are available by calling Brian Kai at 622-1249.

The following are excerpts from Hansard on the House of
Commons debates of February 4th, 1985 concerning the ques­
tion of Redress for the internment of Japanese Canadians dur- >
ing World War Two.
Hon. Edward Broadbent (Oshawa): Mr. Speaker, in the absence of the
Prime Minister my question Is for the Minister responsible for Multicultu­
ralism. The Minister will know that yesterday the President of the National
Association of Japanese Canadians met with the executive of that body, and
that they in turn reconfirmed their confidence in the approach that he has
been taking on their behalf in meetings with the Government of Canada.
It is of profound importance that we reach a settlement on this important
tragedy in the history of our country which all Parties in the House can
accept and agree upon, and more important, that the Japanese Canadians will
feel at home with. Will the minister assure the House that he will follow up
on Mr. Miki's request to meet with the Prime Minister, by urging that the
Prime Minister agree to such a meeting?

discuss this very important matter further. My offer and invitation still stands.
REQUEST FOR NEGOTIATION

Hon. Edward Broadbent (Oshawa): Mr. Speaker, we on this side of the
House thank the Minister for his reply. Will he also indicate clearly to the
House that the Government is willing to fulfil its own previous commitment to
have serious negotiations with representatives of the Japanese Canadian
community before any particular matter is brought before the House for the
purpose of agreement?

Lunch: 1200 pun. to 2:30 p.m. Dinner; 5:30 p.m. to 10^0 p.m.
(except Sunday & holidays — 500 p.m. to IOsOO p.m.

Hon. Edward Broadbent (Oshawa): Mr. Speaker, from past discussions on
this matter, which have taken place both in and outside the House, the
Minister knows that there is an important distinction to be made between the
terms “consultation” and “negotiation”. Is the Minister now prepared to say
that the Government will continue with the negotiating process on this impor­
tant matter before any legislation or resolution js brought before Parliament?

Hon. Jack Murta (Minister of State (Multiculturalism)): Mr. Speaker, my
reply to the Hon. Member will be roughly the same as my first reply. I am
prepared to sit down and discuss this matter with the Japanese community at
any time. They understand that, i would expect some overtures by Mr. Miki
and his group this week. If that takes place, I will be prepared to sit down and
talk about any matters that may arise from one end of the spectrum to the
other.

Hon. Jack Murta (Minister of State (Multiculturalism)): Mr. Speaker, I have
communicated to the Japanese.Canadian community that I am prepared to
have discussions. One of my major concerns is that, if we get into a
negotiating position, which I understand some members of the Japanese
Canadian community would like to see, with their lawyer representatives
at the table, that inherently puts us into more of a confrontation type of posi­
tion. I want to try to do everything in my power to stay away from that. I would
like to have the question discussed at great length, if necessary, so that both
sides are firm in their understanding of the direction we should go. I do not
think it would be in the best interest of either side to sit down and start to
negotiate, as such, at the present time. I am very much concerned, as I know
the Hon. Member would be, that it could lead to more confrontation.
