It's been said of the Nisei that
they are, or were, reluctant to talk
about the Evacuation. They kept their
outrage locked in their hearts like a
personal shame, it was said, so that

partly true. Long before it became
fashionable, there were individual
Nisei writing about the Evacuation
experience and talking about it
to anyone willing to listen. True
enough, for many Americans Eva­
cuation was an unknown chapter Of
World War II. But if they wanted to
learn about it, there were plenty of
sources. And as for the Nisei who
weren't talking about their personal
experiences and feelings, there were
many reasons not to do so. Among
others, there were other pressing
concerns, like raising families and
making a living.
That leads me to the subject of
this essay, which is that the above
seems to have an interesting parallel
to information about the Nisei who
served in the military in World War II.
Quite a bit is known about the
442nd Regimental Combat Team and
its brilliant war record, and some­
what less is known about the role
Nisei linguists in military intelli­
gence. But aside from the stories of a
few heroes who have been singled
out for recognition, almost nothing
is known about the experiences —
the joys, the ghastly fears, the dis­
comforts and resentments and the
small truimphs and big disappoint­
ments — of various individuals.
Why is it important to know their
stories?
For a very simple reason: All of us
owe so exceedingly much to Nisei
veterans that we should know what
they went through. The perfunctory
ceremonies and memorials are wellmeant but inadequate tributes. We
have not been properly appreciative
of what they gave. Not nearly
enough. The least we can do at this
late date is to try to understand
what they endured.

The Horror of War
This train of thought was started
last summer while reading and ar­
ticle by Paul Fessell in August issue
of Atlantic Monthly. It was titled
The Real War 1939-1045”. His thesis
was that due to the failure of the
media and for other reasons, those
of us who never have been in combat
do not understand the horror of war
in which men daily face the choice of
killing or being killed. Nor do we
understand the toll combat took on
those who survived.
‘‘The real war was tragic and ironic
beyond the power of any literary or
philosophic analysis to suggest,”
Fussell writes, “but in unbombed
America especially, the meaning of
the war seemed inaccessible. Thus,
as experience, the suffering was
wasted.”

Canadian says Asian trade
hurts anti-apartheid effort
TOKYO. — A Canadian parliamentarian has said that
Asian trade with South Africa is undermining his country's
efforts to fight apartheid. “Asian trade with South Africa
has risen far faster than world trade in recent years,” Walter
McClean, a member of Canada's House of Commons, told
a conference sponsored by the United Nations Special Com­
mittee Against Apartheid. He said that Canadian labor unions
have countered calls for widening sanctions by asking why
they should sacrifice their jobs to-someone else.
James Victor Gbeho, a member of the committee, said
that Japan, which accounts for 15 percent of South Africa's
trade, can be influencial in bringing peaceful change in South
Africa. “South Africa needs East Asian trade contracts more
than East Asia needs the South African market,” the diplomat
from Ghana said.

The New Canadian

Fussell Is deeply preoccupied with
the knowledge that people do not die
neatly in war as one would guess
from news photos. Frequently they
are dismembered, and sometime
people are killed when hit by other
people's arms, legs, heads and guts
hurtling through the air.
What does exposure to such haz­
ards do to people? Fussell reports
that American soldiers in World War
II were asked by questionnaire about
the precise physical signs of their
fear. They reported “violent poun­
ding of the heart, sinking feeling
in the stomach, shaking or trembling
all over, feeling sick at the stomach,
cold sweat, feeling weak or faint.”
There is more. Fussell continues:
“More than a quarter of the soldiers
in one division admitted that they'd
been so scared they'd vomited, and
almost a quarter said that at terrify­
ing moments they'd lost control of
their bowels. Ten percent had uri­

nated in their pants.”
That kind of fear does violent
things to men's minds. Fussell tells
us that all men — not just the weak
or sensitive or cowardly — will break
down if in combat long enough. Phy­
sicians define long enough as 200

Not all soldiers get into combat. In
fact, relatively few do. Fussell tells
us that at the end of World War II
there were 11 million men in the U.S.
Army. Only 2 million of them were in

the 90 combat divisions, and fewer
than 700,000 of them were infantry­
men who did the dirty work in fight­
ing a war, who were the ones most
likely to get shot or blown up.
Most of the Nisei in the 442nd
were infantrymen. They seldom num­
bered more than 3,000, but many
more than that served in the unit
because casualties had to be re­
placed. The 442nd was bloodied to
the extent of more than 9,500 Purple
Heart medals which are awarded for
combat wounds. In the Pacific and
China-Burma-India theaters, Nisei in­
telligence specialists were also in­
fantrymen who, in addition to gun­
fire, faced malaria and other fevers,
and dysentry. In Burma, Fussell re­
ports, American and British troops
suffered so regularly from dysentry
that they cut large holes in the seat
of their trousers to simplify things.

The old patterns were breaking
down. We wanted to take our full
place in society, to make the great­
est contribution of which we were
capable, not for Hawaii's JapaneseAmericans, but for Hawaii.”
No one doubts that it was the
Nisei war record that made state­
hood possible for Hawaii as early as
it came. Military service gave Ja­
panese Americans the determina­
tion, the confidence and the oppor­
tunity to claim their rights, to elect
their own representatives to public

Whatever fear or anger surfaced as
the result of the smell of blood and
death, it is likely Nisei emotions were
intensified by the knowledge that the
mutilated body was that of a boy­
hood buddy, a relative, a friend with

These are the details, the trivia if
you will, that flesh out the broad pic­
ture of Nisei courage and dedication
in the service of their country. It was
the undeniable sacrifice of Nisei
i soldiers depicted in the broad pic' ture that enabled Japanese Amer­
icans to win legal and social justice
after the war, but it is the detailed
trivia that should underscore for us,
their friends and beneficiaries, the
extent of that sacrifice.
Sen. Dan Inouye writes in his auto­
biography of his decision to build on
Nisei sacrifice: “. . . the time had
come for us to step forward. We had
fought for that right with all the
furious patriotism in our bodies and
now we didn' t want to go back to the

• And ultimately, Redress, in
which Congress apologized for the
mistake of Evacuation and provided
a token solatium for its surviving

victims.
In remarks published in the Con­
gressional Record for Dec. 21, 1987,
veteran Congressman Don Edwards
of California recognized the part the
Nisei military record played in these
legislative victories:
"... I am certain that corrective
and remedial legislation and litiga­
tion would not have been possible
without the bloody war record and
its unanswerable and indisputable
evidence of loyalty and devotion to
country. In practically all statutes
which have been enacted for the spe­
cific benefit of those of Japanese
ancestry, for example, the unique
battle standards of the Nisei sol­
diers have been cited as the primary
reason for favorable consideration.
It is a record than cannot be dis­
counted or ignored.”

Perhaps we have sensed the truth
of the Congressman Edward's
tribute. That is not enough as we
enter the final decade of a momen­
tous century. We should respect the
wish of Nisei vets to forget their
nightmares. But they deserve to be
told in every possible way, by all
of us who benefited, of our humble
gratitude for what they went through.

TOKYO. — The rapidly in­
creasing number of illegal
foreign workers in Japan has

major implications for police
activities and the mainten­
ance of law and order the Na­
tional Police Agency warned
recently.
Ryoichi Suzuki, deputy
director general of the agen­
cy, issued the warning at a
national meeting of police of­
ficers.
He said Japanese brokers
have been linked to schemes
forcing foreign women into
prostitution and promoting il­
legal immigration of unskill­
ed foreign workers into the
country.
Unskilled Barred
Japan prohibits unskilled
foreign workers from enter­

The warning followed the

Japanese from Brazil and
other South American coun­
tries to work in Japan as un­
skilled laborers.
Police said Ryozo Iwakura,
54, president of Nissho Kiko
Co., and two executives of
the company were alleged to
have recruited some 20 un­
skilled workers in South
America to work in Japan il­
legally from August 1988 to
September this year.
The company was alleged
to have profited some 5
billion yen ($35.2 million)
from the illegal operation,
police said.
Half-Year Record
Local news reports said

the company recruited about
2,300 workers in Brazil, Peru,
Argentine, Paraguay and the
Philippines at one time and
let them work at automotive
parts manufaturing and other
factories in Japan.
