fighting W.W.2
in Malay jungle
KUALA LUMPUR. — Two
Japanese soldiers lost in a
Malaysian jungle in World
War II are still in the area
helping Communist guer­
rillas, the Malaysian national
news agency reported recently.
The outlawed Communist
party of Malaya found the sol­
diers in the jungle near the
Thai border in 1948 and put
them to work repairing war­
vintage arms and making
bombs and booby traps, the
agency said yesterday.
Until a party purge in the
late 1970s, the two had been
fooled into thinking the war
was still on and the party was
helping Japan, the agency
said. But now they are being
held against their will in
southern Thailand.
The Malaysian government
officially estimates some
2,370 Communist guerrillas
opposed to it operate from
bases in southern Thailand.
British colonial forces
fought a bitter guerrilla war
against the Communist party
from 1948. The war continued
for several years after Malay­
sia won independence in
1957 and occasional clashes
are still reported.

YONAGO, Tottori Pref. — A

The photographs showed
that the virus is in the shape

Astronaut
Ellison Onizuka
1947-1986
CAPE CANAVERAL. — The
first Asian astronaut, Major
Ellison Onizuka, 39, was killed
along with 6 others on board
the Space Shuttle Challenger
on January 28th, 1986. The
Japanese American Sansei
was based at Lyndon B. John­
son Space Center in Houston
since 1978 when he was first
chosen as an astronaut.
Ellison Onizuka is
survived by his wife Lorna
L. Onizuka of Pahala, Hawaii

A 49-year-old romance
to end in marriage
TOKYO. — A Japanese wo­
man and a Chinese man, who
fell in love 49 years ago but
lost contact with the outbreak
of the war, had an emotional
reunion at Shanghai Airport
on Dec. 24, according to a
Xinhua report from Shanghai
monitored her Dec. 25.
The couple filed marriage
papers with the Shanghai
authorities Dec. 25, the report
said.
They are Kimiko Saita, 66,
of Fukuoka in western Japan,
and Huang Boping, 67, a re­
tired schoolteacher in Shang­
hai.
She was 17 when she first
met and fell in love with him
while she was visiting Qing­
dao, China, in 1936.
He was working at a
department store there, she
recalls.
After she returned to
Japan, they kept in touch by
writing to each other and
Huang proposed by letter.
But before the couple
could go ahead with their
plans to marry, contact be­
tween them was broken by
the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, which followed
the Marco Polo Bridge Inci­
dent of July 1937. She said
she could not forget her first
love.
Saita visited China again in
1938 despite her family's op­
position. But she could not
find her fiance in Qingdao,
Shanghai or his home place
in Jiangsu Province.
She then married in Japan,
but later divorced. She once

ran a snack shop called
“Hwang,” named after him, in
Fukuoka.
After trying for a long time
to find her Chinese sweet­
heart, she finally succeeded
in locating him in Shanghai.
He had also married but his
Chinese wife died five years
ago.
Huang was living alone
after his two children had
married.

Redress said likely
i for Japanese Americans

ByWILLIAM JOHNSON
WASHINGTON. — While
the issue remains unsettled
in Canada, the U.S. Congress
seems determined to apolo­
gize to its citizens of Japan­
ese origin who were wrong­
fully torn form their homes,
deprived of their goods and
interned in camps during the
Second World War.
Congress also seems
determined to compensate
individually the victims of an
historic injustice, a stand
that differs from that taken by
the Canadian Government.
A bill now before Congress
proposes to pay $20,000 in
compensation to every living
survivor of the JapaneseAmerican internment camps.
It also proposes to create a
$300-million foundation to en­
courage research and educa­
tion on the treatment of the
Americans of Japanese ori­
gin and on racism.
The Conservative Govern­
ment offered Japanese Cana­
dians an apology and $6-million to establish an education
fund last year, but this was

of Representatives, introduced by Majority Leader Jim
Wright and co-sponsored by
120 of the 445 members of
the House, goes straight to
the point.
“The Congress recognizes
that a grave injustice was
done to both citizens and
resident aliens of Japanese
ancestry by the evacuation,
relocation and internment of
civilians during World War
II,” the bill says.

Japan pop. hits
120 million people
TOKYO — Japan's popu­
lation has topped 120 million
for the first time with 120,047,061 people living in the
archipelago, according to
preliminary results of the
government 1985 census con­
ducted in October.
The preliminary results,
published in Japanese news­
papers recently, show an in­
crease of about 3,980,000
people over the last such
population poll taken in 1980.
Tokyo's population was
11,828,262, or about 210,000
more than the last census.
Japan's second largest city
of Osaka registered 8,668,114
residents.

Redress .
“On behalf of the Nation,
the Congress apologizes.”
Moreover, the bill makes
no bones about finding
shameful motives behind the
internment of more than
120,000 people of Japanese
origin in the months after
Pearl Harbor.
“The Congress finds that
the evacuation, relocation
and internment of the indivi­
duals of Japanese ancestry
was caused by racial preju­
dice, war hysteria and a fail­
ure of political leadership.”
In Canada, the number of
people of Japanese origin
who were interned is esti­
mated at about 21,000, a
much larger proportion of the
population than in the United
States.
In contrast to the Canadian
Government's offer of a
$6-million settlement to be
used primarily for the educa­
tion of descendants of those
who had been wronged, Con­
gress is talking of a settle­
ment of $1.5-bi 11 ion.
The proposed Canadian
settlement works out to less
than $300 for each person de­
prived of all worldly posses­
sions except what he or she

could carry. The U.S. settle­
ment would give $20,000 to
each of the estimated 68,000
survivors — about half'of all
those interned.
In both the United States
and Canada, war jitters led to
suspicions about residents
who were related by blood to
the enemy nations against
which the Allies were at war.
While some injustices were
done to individuals of German or Italian origin, however, in Canada and the
United States people of Ja­
panese origin living on the
West Coast were rounded up
simply because of their origin
and deprived of liberty.
In the United States, no
distinction was made bet­
ween citizens and resident
aliens. People who had one­
sixteenth Japanese ancestry
— that is, who had one Ja­
panese great-great-grandpar­
ent — were treated as Japan­
ese, and arrested.
Also in the United States,
the facts of the Second World
War internments were fully
explored by a Commission on
Wartime Relocation and In- •
ternment of Civilians, ap­
pointed by Congress in 1980.

MONTREAL. — Mr. Kanagashira Koyama was awarded
the Fifth Class Order of the
Sacred Treasure, granted by
the Japanese Government on
November 3, 1985.
While diligently pursuing
his chosen field of employ­
ment, he has found time to
serve the Japanese commu­
nity, outstandingly, and in so
doing has been a force for
good in bringing about better
understanding and goodwill
in the wider Canadian com­
munity.
Mr. Koyama was born on
April 9, 1907 in Fukuoka Ken,
Japan. After graduating from
junior high school in Japan,
he worked for a couple of
years, until 1924 he decided
to emigrate to Canada, a
country he regarded as a land
of promise.
He arrived in Victoria, B.C.,
on February 23, 1924. In his
first few years in Canada, he
worked for railway compa­
nies and lumber yards; then,
in 1928, he decided to take up
tailoring which became his
profession in later years. He
married Fusako Grace Koya­
ma on January 26, 1935.
Mr. Koyama opened a tailoring/dress making/cleaning
store in Vancouver in 1939.
The future looked promising
until the beginning of World

War II, when the RCMP took
him into custody. As most
Japanese Canadians were
forced to do, Mr. Koyama and
his family had to spend the
war years, in the Slocan In­
ternment Camp.
Even under those depress­
ing circumstances, Mr. Ko­
yama did not lose concern
for the Japanese community.
He, along with interested
volunteers, founded a Japa­
nese language school in Bay
Farm, and taught children
himself.
After moving to Montreal in
September 1946, and settling
down with hardships, Mr. Ko­
yama’s interest in the wel­
fare of the Japanese commu­
nity deepened. He became
actively involved in the
endeavour to help the com­
munity settle into life in Mon­
treal, after the devastating
events of internment and re­
location.
Among many of Mr. Koyama's contributions to the
Japanese community, his ef­
forts as President of the
Montreal Japanese Canadian
Association for 14 years
stands out as an extraordina­
ry accomplishment. We con­
gratulate Mr. Koyama on this
happy occasion, and at the
same time would like to exprerss our sincere gratitude
for his work in the commu(Montreal Bulletin)
nity.

says Kimiko Yamashita. “The
students are picking up the
language quickly and they're
enjoying it.” The course em­
phasizes conversational Ja­
panese but hiragana (a form
of Japanese script) and read­
ing will be introduced later.
To help students appreciate
the cultural context for the
language, Ms. Yamashita will
bring in films courtesy the
Japanese consulate and use
the school's cultural centre
as a resource.
“It's a ‘living language’ ap­
proach,” said Ms. Tremblay.
“Students take reading and
vocabulary with the emphasis
on learning to handle real
situations.”
“The school twinning pro­
gram gives Jasper Pace stu­
dents increased awareness
of Japan. Their reasons for
taking the course reflect that
awareness. Some said they
want to learn the language
because of Canada's trade
relations with Japan and
Alberta's special affiliationwith Hokkaido. “We may not
use it now but it might be im­
portant for a career in the
future.”
Others saw more immedi­
ate practical advantages.
They thought that being able
to speak some Japanese
would make is “easier to get
along” if they are part of a
school trip to Hokkaido plan­
ned for 1986 or 1987.
