IT was the TJCCA and the

moved by Roy Miki and sup­
ported by half of the Puppets
of the Council. The question
of properly constituted Coun­
cil members brings to the cre­
dability of the authenticity of
centres such as Victoria,
Kelowna, Calgary, Regina
and Hamilton.
Should Victoria and
Calgary be members, when
after a year and a half have
not paid their initiation fees?
Is Calgary's Council mem­
ber a true representative or
just a puppet, supported by a
group of five people?
Is he supported by the
Calgary Japanese Assoc.?
Is Kelowna's representa­
tive, under her own admis­
sion, has only her own family
as supporters, be a Council
member?
Is Regina's representative
a true community representa­
tive or is he on the Council
because he is the brother of
the President?

yet this Motion by Roy Miki
show the true dictatorial coI­
ours of the puppets, that the
TJCCA must “SUPPORT THE
NAJC REDRESS PROGRAM”
and that the TJCCA “esta­
blishes a Toronto Redress
Committee.”
The TJCCA established a
democratically constituted
Committee that the Radical
North York Group (formerly
Sodan-Kai) was a member of.
The Executive was duly elec­
ted and when the Radical
Sodan-Kai such as Fujiwara
and Obata could not get their
way and their motions were
defeated, they formed their
own break-away group.

The TJCCA President Rits
Inouye not only represented
the Chapter, but the TJCCA
Redress committee and,
most important of all, the
TJCCA Issei-bu, the true vic­
tims and survivors, the vic­
tims that were in the Camps.
What other Council Member
can say they represent such a
wide and large base? The To­
ronto JCCA, Major Council
Member that gave respecta­
bility to the NAJC is no lon­
ger there, the true radical col­
ours of the NAJC are now
bared for all the see!
Is the deception, ven­
geance and destructiveness
of the NAJC worthy of the
Japanese Canadians and is
that the price that we must
pay for Redress?

Cont. from page 2
at Fort Hood, Texas, Matsu­
mura was sent overseas to
southern France to join the
522nd Field Artillery of the
422nd Regimental Combat
Team, a unit made of 4,200
Japanese American soldiers.
The 422nd, which sustained
9,486 casualties — more than
650 killed in action — and
18,143 decorations, returned
from Italian, French and Ger­
man campaigns in 1945. Mat­
sumura stayed in Europe for
another six months with oc­
cupation forces at Donnauworth, Germany, before retur­
ning home in June 1946. He
also served in the Korean War
and was discharged in 1951.
Matsumura recently retired
after working for 32 years
with Bell Systems.
Joining in the Wiesenthal
Center tribute for the evening
were chairwoman Elizabeth
Taylor, mistress of ceremo­
nies Barbara Walters, guest
entertainer Melissa Manches­
ter, and special guest spea­
ker Governor George Deukmejian.
Representing the 442nd
was Dr. Arthur Sakamoto,
while .George Ogawa repre­
sented the Japanese Ameri­
can Citizens League.

No J.C.N.R. of S. in Winnipeg,
says Man. JCCA Pres. Matsumoto
Dear Sir:
I am writing to you about the article titled “P.M. sends appreciation to
J.C.N.R.A. of S. for try to reconcile redress” — Sptember 24,1985. The article
states that there are members of the Japanese Canadian Redress Associa­
tion of Survivors In Winnipeg. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs but to
our knowledge there are no members of that association in Winnipeg.
The Manitoba Japanese Canadian Citizens' Association is a member
of the National Association of Japanese Canadians and has participated
at all meetings and conferences of the NAJC. THe MJCCA supports the
views of the NAJC and will work within that association to arrive at a sincere
and dignified settlement to the redress issue.
Yours sincerely,
Carol Matsumoto, MJCCA President
