What does
new Charter
of Rights
mean to us?

By BILL KOBAYASHI
(Toronto (North York) Chapter NAJC)
OTTAWA - On June 4,1985,
representatives from the new­
ly formed Japanese Canadian
National Association of Sur­
vivors (a dissident group led
by Mr. Jack Oki) met with
government and opposition
members to present their
redress position. Their posi­
tion was described by George
Imai as “on the same wave­
length” as the Progressive
Conservative government pro­
posal, which was rejected by
the National Association of
Japanese Canadians as well
as the ©position parties.
Following the meeting with
the Association of Survivors,
Multiculturalism Minister Jack Murta, made the following
statement: “My interest right
now will center on the reac­
tion of the opposition parties
the Liberals and the NDP to
the proposal and depending
on their opposition will large­
ly depend on what we do as a
government because as you
know I said all along that any­
thing we do has to have unan­
imous agreement before we
do. Otherwise in my opinion,
it tarnishes the whole pro­
cess.”
Both parties then reaffirm­
ed their support for the Na­
tional Association of Japan­
ese Canadians (NAJC) which
is:
(1) Opposition to any uni­
lateral action on the part of
the government to resolve
the redress question.
(2) Recognition of the NAJC
as the only legitimate organ!-:
zation representing the Japanese Canadian community.
Multiculturalism critic, Er­
nie Epp has sent a rebuke to
the Association of Survivors.
His letter to Mr. Jack Oki is
reprinted below.

On April 17, 1895 all Cana­

by your colleagues and in the know­
ledge that negotiations with the
government are likely to be all too
constrained and limited in their
results, no matter who is across the
table.
It remains vital for Japanese Cana­
dians not to weaken the hand of their
national leadership in achieving the
best possible redress agreement. An .
open struggle between two groups
for the support of Japanese Cana­
dians and over the terms of redress
can only have a negative effect on
the entire process.
I am told that the activity of your
group arose from Mr. George Imai's
attempt in 1983 - 84 to arrive at a
redress package, without the autho­
rization of the NAJC in whose name
,he was ostensibly acting. This is
a serious charge and, if it is true, pro'
vided no justification for becoming
active in the redress process in any
independent way.
Having considered these matters
carefully yesterday, the New Demo­
cratic causus re-affirmed its support
for the negotiation process that the
National Association of Japanese
Canadians is pursuing with the gov­
ernment. I have attached a copy of
the press release I issued following
the meeting, which sets forth the
New Democratic position on the mat­
ter.

Calling
my own
bluff

By DELPHINE HIRASUNA
I think it was Woody Allen who
said. “If you aren't failing now and
then, you aren't trying hard
enough.”
With that bit of advice, I quit my
job to become an editorial consul­
tant. It's been something I've
thought about for more than 18
years. Some kids grow up wanting to
be doctors or lawyers or firemen. I
wanted to be an editorial consultant.
When the company I worked for
announced its move to Walnut
Creek, the idea of consulting weigh­
ed heavy on my mind. The thought of
looking for another corporate job left
me cold and the thought of com­
muting forever to Walnut Creek left
me even colder. I knew what I wanted
to do, but I was terrified. A company
is like a parent that gives you a
steady paycheck, health benefits, life
insurance, and a place to go on
weekdays. It also was my surrogate
social life.
Still, I had this fantasy of being on
my own. The people I admired were
usually consultants or freelancers
who stretched their creative ability to
the limit like warm taffy pulled far­
ther than anyone would believe it
could go.
“You'll do fine. You just have to
cut the umbilical cord,” a consultant
friend assured me.
I hung back. “What if I fail?” I ask­
ed. “So, you do something else. You
find another corporate job.” I waited,
calculating daily how much I'd make
under the company's relocation
serverance plan. “I figure I can live
for six months on the severance, if I
budget carefully,” I told a friend.
“So do it,” he said.
“No, I'm scared.”
Then, on the very last day
that the severance package was of­
fered, I decided to take the money
and run. Around three the next morn­
ing, I woke in a panic and wondered,
“Oh my God! What did I do? I'll
never eat again.”
But wonderful things began to
happen. It was like someone remov­
ed the blinders. I began to see oppor­
tunities everywhere and the chall­
enges seemed exhilarating. I've had
a lot of ideas floating around in my
head and now I was forced to test
them. “The best views are at the
edge of cliffs or on top of
mountains,” a friend told me. “But
you have to be willing to risk to see.”
Going on my own is a calculated
risk, to be sure. But some times in
life you have to call your own bluff. I
can go on talking about how I want to
be a consultant until I reach retire­
ment age, or I can test my fantasy
against theTight of day and face up
to it if it turns out to be just that — a
fantasy. But it is hard to give up what
is familiar, comfortable and safe, and
my job has been all of those things.
I must-admit that I've been swing­
ing from feeling that this is just the
beginning to feelings that I've just
done myself in. But then I keep re­
peating that slogan, “no guts, no
glory.”

Woman barred from Japan golf club
TOKYO. — Saying it would do the
same to Queen Elizabeth or Margaret
Thatcher, a distinguished Tokyo
country club May 25 barred Japan's
vice foreign minister from playing
gold, the reason being that she is a
woman.

Mayumi Moriyama, Foreign Minister
Shintaro Abe's deputy, was invited
to play a regular semiannual friend­
ship golf tournament between For­
eign Ministry officials and Tokyo am­
bassadors. But the match was sche­
duled for a Saturday and the Koganei
Country Club only allows women on
its greens as visitors on weekdays. It
also bars women from membership
and makes no exceptions.
Abe was asked about the incident
at a Diet committee meeting May 29
by Socialist Dietman Susumu Kobay­
ashi, who called it “a serious pro­
blem” that the tournament had con­
tinued despite Moriyama's exclu-

Abe, who withdrew from the tourn­
ament himself after learning of the
ban on Moriyama, said he regretted
the discrimination against her but
that the tournament could not be
suspended, because of what he call­
ed its friendly nature.
The ban was made on May 24, the
same day that the House Foreign Af­
fairs Committee had begun debate
on an international convention to
abolish sex discrimination.
Abe made strong calls for sexual
equality during the debate, and this
prompted his withdrawal from the
tournament, according to a major
Japanese daily.
The paper quoted an irate Moriyama
as calling the incident unbelievable.
She reminded reporters that “in Ja­
pan, golf is often connected with
work. As a career woman, 1 can't
overlook this discrimination.”
Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone
said in a Diet session May 31 that the
barring of women from certain golf
courses should not be made into an
issue.
He made the remark in a session of
the House of Representatives' For­
eign Affairs Committee which was
deliberating- on the United Nations
Convention on the Elimination of All
Forms of Discrimination Against
Women.

Japan needs diversity
and mavericks
TOKYO. — Japan, like other indus­
trial countries, has a safety net of wel­
fare programs to mitigate unemploy­
ment, illness, and old age. But most
Japanese look first for such protec­
tion'to corporate employers.
The Japanese worker is protected
by a lifetime employment system. At
a large corporation he will never have
to worry about losing his job. The
company pays for half his health in­
surance and it will not fire him for ill­
ness, even though he may have to
take a moderate pay cut. Mandatory
retirement is at a relatively young
age, but the employee can look for­
ward to a very substantial retirement
allowance and a new job with a com­
pany supplier or subsidiary.
This job security and fringe benefit
system was made possible by rapid
economic growth. When the economy
began to slow down in the early 1970s,
most corporate employees had been
with the company for fewer than 10
years. They were young and usually
low-paid; higher salaries and automa­
tic promotions went to those with
more seniority.
Now Japanese corporations are
saddled with an overabundance of
middle-aged employees, most of
whom will never rise to a managerial
position. Insufficient promotions
have hurt morale and the fabled tra­
dition of loyalty to the company.
There was never anything particu­
larly Japanese about loyalty. Corpor­
ations paid for it with promises of
lifetime employment and raises tied
to seniority. In other countries, insti­
tutions such as the church or the ar­
my have achieved_the same results
with the same methods.
This system is beginning to break
down. The next recession may make
personnel management the hottest
topic in business. Companies can no
longer take employee loyalty for
granted.
New high school and university
graduates entering the job market ex­
pect to spend their whole career with
one employer. Job-seeking college
seniors are the most conservative
people in Japan. Ranking high on
their list of favorite employers are
the major banks, trading houses, and
local government, where job security
is thought to be greater than else­
where.
Since the 1860s not a single industry
or line of business in Japan has pro­
spered for more than 30 years. In
1949-50, for example, there was one
industry where only a few top gradu­
ates from elite Tokyo University
could hope to land a job: coal mining.
In the late 1950s, the stars were
chemical fibres and the “three whites”
— sugar, chemical fertilizers, and ce­
ment. All are now suffering from struc­
tural recession. There were even stu­
dents who sought security with mo­
vie companies.
No company will continue to prosper if it concentrates on the same
business for 30 years. Diversification

is crucial to survival. I ne coal indus­
try proves that no amount of gradu­
ates from top schools can save a
company once its industry has fallen
inexorably into decline.
Graduates from elite universities
sink with a company because they do
not know how to turn it around. They
did well on their college entrance ex­
aminations because they were good
at one thing — solving problems that
have a set answer. They are poorly
equipped to explore uncharted fields
or cope with ambiguity.
Companies need employees who
welcome a challenge. Unfortunately,
they are the type who fail examina­
tions. Worse yet, they often end up
as mavericks.within the firm because
their ideas are considered impractical.
Corporations should hire people
who are genuinely interested in the
job, not applicants looking for pres­
tige or security. It may be difficult to
tell the difference, but one yardstick
is to look for more people who have
their eyes on the problems rather
than the promotion schedule.
Japanese corporations need a new
brand of personnel management.
One or two out of 10 employees must
be the kind who thrive on difficult
assignments that demand flexibility
and creativity. Without such people,
today's glamour company will be in
trouble within 30 years.
