Thoughts as 1911 Approaches
~Ien will lie on their backs. talking about the fall of man. and never make all efforl to get up
-Henry David Thoreau
• Salt Lake City
An organization, like man, must • mo\e in stages. JACL. likewise. has
moved in stages. The transition from one generation to the next has its pain· ful as well as beautiful moments. These past few years our organization has witnessed many painful as well as beau· tiflll moments.
From my personal observations, JA· CL did not lie on its back, talking about the fall of man, never making an ef· ford to get up. It has had its setbacks, but it has recoiled and marched for· ward in a manner and style which reo flects the resilience of our organization.
Each administration has built on the previous administration. The historical
U twisL~ and turns set down the founda· '1 Hon on which we must continue the for·
ward motion.
The year 1971 will usher in new challenges. nell' hopes. new ideas. and many new people. I have absolutely no reservation about the direction of JA· CL and its commitment to make life on this eartb better for each and every JACL member as well as those people, organizations and institutions with whom and which we will come into con· tact either directly or indirectly.
It has been said that a peSSimist is a person who finds difficulty in every op· portunity. and an optimist is a person who finds opportunity in every diffi· culty. Because JACL has weathered every adversity, to my knowledge, with a rather high degree of success, I ven· ture to guess our membership consists o( optimists who find opportunity in every difficulty.
• • During my travels for JACL, I have
met and talked with many, many dedl· cated and concerned JACLers. I bave met many old·timers and many new members. They all bad one thing in common: a sincere concern about the future of JACL, whicb really means they had a sincere concern about tile future of the people of Japanese an· cestry.
It has been often mentioned. for good or bad. when JACL speaks. it frequent· Iy represents the entire Japanese com· munity in the United States on some very iinportant issues. Thus. it has fur· ther been said, it is better to be in it to try to influence its policies than be out of it and be influenced by its pOlio cies. like it or not.
lIlembership in our organization is extremely important. It is the primary source of financing our multitude of activities. Many members join to malle at least their financial contribution to assist our programming. Others provide their time and talent. To botb we are grateful; without them we could not possibly render whatever service we do.
~ However, we wish to do more fol' our membership. Many selious problems confront our youtb, our aged and memo bers in every walk of life. We have been very successful in our many ac· tivities. but we have not been suffici· ently financed nor staffed to meet many new problems and some old prob· lems whicb need our attention, some immediately. Thus, it is apparent we need everyone's continued support to meet the many demands made on our organization.
Hopefully, my articles hereafter will focus on problems. programs and ac· tivities of our organization. The pri. mary objective will be to inform the membership of wbat we are doing and how.
I want to take this '~pportunity to tbank tbe many, many JACL people who have been so kind, considerate and hospitable in the variety of ways which never receives the publicity it so jusUy deserves. Being picked up at the air· port, chauffered here and there, fed and lodged, entertained and so forth takes the time and effort of many peo· pIe. I certainly camlot repay the thoughtfulness of the multitude of peo· pie I have met during the last several months.
Needless to say. I am deeply indebt· ed to these people, chapters. district councils and tbe respective officers as well as JACL staff members. I can honestly say, the generosity of JACL people is unlimited and extremely warm.
To Jerry Enomoto. my predecessor, I am obliged for a job well done. I can only ask one favor. Would you mind taking care of about tlu'ee of my boys so I can try to measure up to one balf of your fantastic performance!
~las Satow, Jeff lIIatsui, HaITY Honda and the rest of the staff, your wise counsel, assistance and encouragement has helped me get over the humps to now. I still see the mountains straight ahead. 1 am going to ask for help in advance.
Mike Masaoka and Bill Marutani have continued to share their experience and wisdom with me for which I am ex· tremely grateful. All of the cm'rent na· tional officers and board, including the many youth members and Junior JA· , CLers bave given me the support and inspiration a leader needs to push an organization such as J ACL.
On the local level . Tats Misaka, George and Harriet Kimura and many others have not deserted me; at least, they better not have. They always seem to be around when I need them the most.
:ro my critics, I extend my appreci· ation but for whom I would not see the other side of JACL. I know I cannot please everyone and I will not try, but I will try to bring unity to the organi· zation in a way tbat we can all have a common ground to work together to achieve common objectives. It takes time to understand all of tbe interstices of J ACL, but tbe nature of the animal makes it all worth while. Most of the JACL people I have met feel tllis way too.
To make the organization responsive to the leadership requires some abra· sive measures. but, sometimes, neces· sarily so. If an administration is to be responsible to the membership, tbe or· ganization must be responsible to the leadership. At this point, I cannot see any exception. If there are, the memo bership should know of it in plain and simple terms, starting from the president. In the coming months, my articles will include areas of concern and prom· ise.
In closing, I want to tbank my friends. supporters and critics. I hope you will continue yow' helping JACL in your favorite, if not peculai!', way. Peace he with you and your families (or the Holiday Season and the New Year.

East Coast history of Japanese to be distinctive contribution
By i\UKE MASAQKA
{SpeCial to the PacLBc Clt1%enl
Wasbington Relatively well known is the
history o[ tbe Japanese on the West Coast, wbere tbe early immigrants of a century ago faced racial persecution and sanctioned discrimination in almost every facet o[ their existence. Yet. because of perseverance. sacri riee, induslal'Y. an vision. they helped subjugate a \viJderness fl'ontier and reared a posterity which is continuing the upward climb tow a I'd full equality of treatment and of °PPol1.unities.
Not so wen known , i( l'ecog. nized at all, is the epic of the Japanese on the East Coast, where though fewer in numbers than tbeir compatriots on the Pacliic Slope, they also made their many and significant contributions to the development of the nation of their deliberate choice. even though that nation caused them to suffer as few other immigrant groups to its shoJ'es have experienced.

Today's living men10rial to Ihe Issei pioneer of tbe Atlantic Coast is the tremendous annual mutually advantageous trade that is carried on between the United States and Japan.

mine, the internationally famous cbemist, were able to bring many dlstinguisbed Japanese and Americans together, to promote an appreciation of Japanese culture, and to encourage the development of profitable trade relationships.
In the absence 01 specific regulations to the contrary at the time. several Issei pioneers, like Dr. Toyohiko Tnkami oj Brooklyn, became naturalized citizens of the United States in the years following World War I and before the United States Supreme Court ruled in 1924 that those of Japanese race were not eligible for naturalization because they were not of the "free, white race".
Incidentally, as an index to the kind 01 society in which tbey moved. 1he late historian liraclford Smith observed that about 51 percent of all the Japanese in the New York 01 the early years of this cen· tury were married to nonJapanese.
There were no alien land laws as in the western states prohibiting the purchare and the ownership of real propert.y; there were no racial ghettoes like the LU' Tokyo ot Los Angeles and the LU' Osaka of San Francisco for c1tydwelling Japanese; there were no multitude of local ordinances and state statutes baring participation in many jobs and professions on the basis of being "racially ineligible to naturalization." And, becaule few Japanese were congregated in any single area, Japanese professionals tended to cater more to non-Japanese than to those ot similar ancestry.

STORY FOR THE NEW YEAR-For this delight· ful and timely story, I am indebted to James Kubota of Fresno. att01'l1ey at law and Buddhist lay leader, who has used it on occasion during church devotionals.
The story bas to do with a Nisei matron who was driving down a busy f"eeway with her elderly Issei mother. uddenly a red light winked on her instru· ment panel. indicating that something was amiss. She tore her eyes away from the road a1lead and discover· ed that the light was warning of an overheated engine. She glanced about in near· panic. Sbe couldn't stop the carin tbe middle of the freeway. Sbe inched over to the right. half expecting to be nimmed from the rear. lighting to get 10 the edge of the road out of the main crush of traffic .

This woman knew nothing about the inner workings of an automobile. but 'he managed 10 get the hood open. The motor was over·healed. all right. There was a billowing cloud of team. he could smell hot metal and he~r the grea e sputtering like it does in a skillet on the kitchen range. he knew she had to gel help

James Kubota didn't tell me whether the story iI tl'ue or whether it is one of those allegories the Jape· nes~ like so well, but I would guess there is a strong element of fact to it because I've known Issei who regarded life's frustrations ~th the same disarming optimism. I once knew an Issei who was deeply, geouinely grateful for everything-the humble fare that appeared on his table, the air he breathed, the raiD that watered his crops and the sun that warmed them, the shelter over his head and the rough clothing on his back. J used to wonder whether he wasn't just I bit balmy, forever being grateful for things that everyone else took for granted. But now I can see that his life was the richer for all the gratitude that he felt.
Kubota didn't tell me either where he first hearcI his story because we happened to be sitting at the head table and there was a lot of activity g~ OD which left very little time to talk. But it struck me a particularly appropriate story in these times of c0mplaint and dissent and protest when it is fuh!ODIble to sit around and gripe about what's wrong WIth our society. I tbink we all agree that there are a lot of thin~ wrong that need to be repaired II quickly .. poSSlble. But there are also a lot of things that are fine and good, and if we could see circumItaJK:eI .. the Issei lady did - not th~?!f! phoney J'OIeotlDted glasses but with genuine op· m-we would IaIDw that we are lucky indeed.

East Coast History-Continued 'rom Fronl Pare
York Cily, Yon eo Aral was honored by JACL as the oldest living Nisei born on the continental mainland ot the United States. A teature of the National JACL-sponsored cenlennial o! Japanese immi~rallon, this recognition 01 Yoneo Arai was deserved not only because o! the 80 years h. has lived but more because his lile is a teshment to lhe fio -called suocess story of lhe Easl Coast Japanese and an inspiration to aU of Japanese ancestry who seek an example of w hat may b. altained in lhis country.
His lalher, Ryoichiro Arai, was among the gallant lew l ssei \vho had the courage and the vision 10 settle In whal was lhen unknown-to-them New York several decades before the tum of the cenlury. Since he had been engaged in the s ilk busin ... in Japan with his own family, it was natural lhat he would seek to introduce s ilk to this country.
Prior to this time, praotically aU silk imported into t~e United States was by way ot Europe, aller it had been woven in labric in Italy and France particularly. Chinese silk was popular and well accepted, but Japanese silk Wa! an unknown quantity.
Ryoichiro Arai (ormed a par tnershi p with Toyo Morimura in a silk importing com· pany. This may well have been lhe beginning of the taxtile trade between the two countries.

proved that the word of a "Japanese businessma.n" WAS a sacred trust.
Such stori.s as lho.e of the Arai's are now legend in the New York tradin/! circles, and they add up to the development ot the current lradin. relations between Japan and this country.
In later years, Ryoichlro Arai began to buy American colton and 10 ship such libers 10 Japan, where a flourishing tex tile industry was built a. the foundation lor the industrialization of modern Japan.
Born In New York
But, in returning to the slory o! Yone Arai himsell, IH II be noled that he was born in IS90, In New York City . Like West Coasl Issei, and in the tradition of the Japanese, Yon eo's, father believed in the best possible education for his son, sa by personal sacriCice he sent his son to SI. George'. School in Newport, R.I., and then on lo Harvard Con~ge, trom which Yoneo graduated cum laude in 1912.
He went to work for his lalher 's Imporl-export company, the MOI'imura Arai & Company, in New York. He was associated with his falher until tuberculosis con lined him 10 bed lrom 1921 to 1929.
United States-Japan relations, 9S well as an appreciation for Japan's great cultural heritage. He was one ot the early members o! the Japan-America Society o! New York and alter World War II was amonll lhose who brou/tbt about its reactivation as the Japan Society. For more than ten years, he served as one of it,s principal vice presidenls.
Married In 1917 to Mitsu Okabe, daughter ot Vlscounl Nagamolo Okabe, the couple celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in Tokyo. Mrs. An~i is a distinguished personality in her own right. having lee lured widely betore and after World War II on Japanese flowe r anangemenls. She led several trips of the American Gardenln/! Society to Japan in order that its members might at lIrst hand study lhe tradilional arran~emenls or the Japanese in (he 1930·s.
The Arais have nne son, Ryozo, now 49. who was born in Greenwich. Connecticut, thcir present home.
On October 21. 1969. he was decora led by the J apane.e Government with the Order 01 the Sacred Treasure, Third Class , in recognition 0' hi.5 years in developing better lin· derstandlng and friendl y relations between lhe United States and Japan .
By coincidence. Yoneo Arai'! lifelime spans most of the hi<tory of trade and commerce between the United Slates and Japan. He, and his father. have contributed much to lhat phenomenal developmenl.
In and by tbeir lives, they epitomize the history o( thp Japanese on lhe East Coast and symbolize the great trade relations that have been developed by and between the United Slates and J . pan.

In the carll' years of their business, they happened 10 n.grce to accept orders for silk at a certain low price. ThaL yeor, the price Of raw silk in J apan skyroc~eted, but Ryolchiro Arai relurned to Japan and insisted that the orders be filled at the agreedupon pr ice, regardless of the losses sustained by the J apanese producers and merchants.
As a matter of personal pride and honor, t his was done, even though his family in Japan had to go bankrupt. his re latives had to seck loans in order to live, their homes and estates in Japan and their modest dwelling in New York were sold, etc.
Once his disease was arrested, Yoneo returned to Harvard, this time to enter its Business School, where he was honored by election to ils review board in 1929. He then joined lhe investment banking firm of Harris, Fortes & Comp any for several years, before being appointed to be the New York Representative (or Ihe Tokio Marine and Fire Insurance Company. He was with this world-famed insurance agency lor 18 years, until 1950, except for the World War 11 years when he and his since naturalized wiCe Matsu taught Japanese at the Army Specialized Training P rogram al Yale University.
For nine years, until his retirement in 1959 at the age 01 6S, he served as the New York Representative fo r the Yamaichi Securities Company ot Tokyo. He was its P resident from 1952 to 1957 and its Chairman o! the Board for two years.

JACL Bowling Tournament Champions
Pacific CItIun $ultltlemi.., JACL Reference Section, Dec. 18-25, 1970
'300 Games by Nisei Bowler.
National JACL as s umed sponsorship and coordination of the then Intermountain Nisei Bowling Tournament at Salt Lake City from 1947 to work for elimination of the "whites only" restrictive mem· bership in national bowling organizations.
In 19S0, the National JACL Advisory Board on Bowling was organized and the women's division became a part of the official JACL tournament. In 19S1. the tournament gained sanction for the first time under the American Bowling Congress and Women's International Bowling Congress following the elimination of race as a qualification for membership in these bodies.
In 19S8, J ACL began to recognize "300" games bowled by Nisei in regular play. The following year. the bowlers i?"" gan to contribute to a specIal 300 Fund to recognize bowlers rolling per f e c t games within the tournament. . In 1962, JACL expanded
t ournament ellglbillty to those who are member. for two cbnsecutive years including the year of the Tournament.
The ann U a 1 tournament champions are:

low. Hardly an~' became public char~es Their children rarely bee a m e delinquents. They were peaceful, hardworking, self-reliant Americans in every way except the most (m p 0 r tan t--our laws pl'ohfbHed lhem from becoming naluralb:ed citizens because of their race. And 50 legally, they remained aliens.
PreJud ice Rema ins
But their children. the Ni.el were citizens by birth, and the Issei lookcd 10 them to bridl'e the gap o f m;~understanding and prejudice. The Nisei. however, soon lcarned they had inherited the problems as weU as the pioneering courage or their parents. Many persons re(used to look beneath the Oriental fealures of these young men and women and I' e c a ~ n i z e them as follow Americans entitled to the privileges and responsibilities o( citizenship. The Nisei found doors closed to jobs lor which Ihey were qualified. housing denied thcm outside Ihe Orienlal ghettoes.
As the older Nisei reached voting age. they realized their struggle lor acceplance mi~ht be slrenglhened through unity. A handlul 01 Nisei Irom Cali(ornia, Oregon and Washington met In Seallle in 1930 and formed the Japanese AmerIcan Citizens League (J ACL).
Toda,. Ih e JACL Is the na tional orga n ization repre H
sentln~ Japanese Am ericans. Its objective Is defined by its slogan: " Belter Americans in a ~reater Amcrica." The story of this organization is an inspirin$! account of a ~roup or younJ;" Americans treasuring their birthri~ht. delcndin~ it . and seeking to be worthy of it.
Of course all its purposes were not so earnestly serious. The J ACL also had its social and fraternal aims. But in their effort to become exemplary citizens, the Nisei quickly became aware that in a democracy laws are the people's safeguard. and good citile ns take an interest in ~overnmenl. It is perhaps sil'mificant that dclc~ales to the first J ACL convention look two actions demonstrating the importance they placed on the privilee:e of American citi7ensh ip. They adopted resolutions calline: on Conqress to:
• Permit Nisei t!irls who had married alien Japanese to regain their cit i 7. ens hip. throug:h an amendment to the Cable Act.
• Grant citizenship to Oriental Hborn men who had served in Ihe United States armed force !' in World War I.
• Both mea sur e s subse H quentiy were cnacled into law.
JACL Grow!
Durin~ the 1930's. A~ more and more Nisei attained their majority and became aware of civic . responsibilities. addi tional chapters of thc J ACL came into bein~. This was a period of ~ro\l,!th and development for the Nisei who, individually. were largely preoccupied wi t h the problems of economic and social adjustment. These problems, already complicated by the inherited prejudices, were intensified during lhe closing years of the decade by a situation over which thcy had neither control nor connection. Their fellow Americans. outraged by Japan's ag:~rcssion in the Far East. misdirected Iheir wrath .gainsl Japanese Americans.
The J a pan e s e attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. ? , 1941, shocked and angered the Nisei a~ it did all Americans. The Issei, most ot w hom had lived virtually all their adult lives in the Uniled Slates, were stunned. Thou sands ot Nisei already were in U.S. Army uniform. Many others. with the blessing 01 Iheir parenls. ru.hed 10 enlist.
tried to calm Ihe lears ot Issei and Nisei. cooperated fully with the authorities. sought to rem 0 v e possible mhmnderstanding by the American public at lar~e re~ardin~ the loyalty of Japanese AmerIcans. protested their case to government policy-makers.
But the pressures were too ,l!reat. Once the Evacuation decision was madc--and ex plained by the government on the basis of ilmilitary necesslt)·"-the JACL had no altel"Ative but to urge the Issei and Nisei to cooperate in the Evacuation AS a patrioUc contribution to the war effort.
T here were other conslder H
" tlons. To resisl as a maller of principle - while a tempting course of action , could well have led to bloodshed. Cooperation was essential to demonstrale Nisei loyalty to their country in a time at crisis. Furlhermore, the J ACL recognized that while a case mi~ht be made for Ihe rights o( the American citizen Nisei, there was no recourse tor their now enemy alien Issei parents and separation ot families po.!'ed serious complications.
In retrospect, a b s e r v e r s have marv.led that the Evacuation was completed almost without Incident. (or the loss of freedom was B bitter experience to the Nisei. The cruelest blow was the feeling 01 bein/! repudiatcd by their own government. or knowing that a basic American principle was being violated when they were imprisoned for havin~ the wrong kind of ancestors. It was a particularly grim time for the Nisei a lI·eady in Ihe U.S. Arm." who saw their families p'Jaced in desert camps ringed bv barbed wire and J!uarded by mili lary police.

Mature. F iKhtinK J ACL
Almost overni/!ht In this try ing period the J ACL became a mature, fighting organiza tion . With a courage based on faith in America. J ACL leaders were making plans lor the fight ahead even as the Evacuation was under way. They launched a vigorous program at public educa tion , cooperating with civilian government agencies set up belatedly to sa leguard the
In 194Z J ACL representatives petitioned the government to reinstate Selective Service which had been suspended with the Evacuation lor the Nisei. Early In 1943 the War Departmenl decided to create an Army regiment made up at Nisei volunteer • .

But the old prejudices were fanned into hysteria against all Japanese Americans. The Issei. through no (aul! o! their own. were Quickly classified as enemy aliens. For the Nisei, it was another mallcr. In historical perspective. it is possible to document the Iact that racism, political opportunism and economic greed created pressures which fed on fear and led to what has been described as the "blackest chapter" in the history or American democracy. . . / , 4.5%

Aa restrlctlon5 again5t the evacuees were eased, other Nisei as well as Issei left the relocation centers to take part in the civilian war effort. They helped harvest lood crops and worked in defense plants. Issei with specialized skills served with the Office of Strategic Services, taught the Japanese language to Army. Navy and Air Corps personnel, wrote propaganda leaflets which were rained down on the enemy, monitored enemy b r 0 a d cas t s and played key roles in psychological warfare.
The ou tstanding record ot persons of Japanese ancestry during the war bore out the truth of P resident Franklin D. Roosevelt's s tat erne n t that flAmericanism is a matter of mind and heart, Americanism is not ... a matter of race or ancestry." Despite widespread rumors - rumors which afe ha.rd to stamp out-the rues 01 every Rovernment investigative and intelligence agency show conclusively that not a single resident alien Japanese or American of J apanese ancestry committed an act of sabotage or espionage for the enemy before, during, or after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
In 1943 the &,overnmenVs pro&,ram ot resettlement got under way. Althougb the West Coast was s till closed to them, the evacuees were permitted to leave the relocation centers and move to communities in the East and Midwest. In cooperation with federal authorIties and national church organizations, the J ACL assisted in the student relocation program whereby Nisei college students were able to continue their studies in inland scbools. Entire families were reseltled in communities throughout the Arne ric a n

On the home front JACL stepped up Its program of public education and established regional offices in Denver, Chicago, and New York to assist in the resettlement program. As Japanese Americans sank roots into new commwtities, it was only natural that J ACL c b apt e r s should be formed wberever they seWed in appreciable numbers. At the same time J ACL membership, heretofore restricted to Japanese Americans was opened to all citizens ' who subscribed to its principles and many friends of the Nisei joined.
Meanwhile, deeply concerned over the precedents set by the Evacuation . JACL had sought judicial reviews of the constitutionality of all aspects of the program. Three landmark suits reacbed the United States Supreme Court.
In 1943, in a suit brought by Gordon K. Hirabayashi , the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the curfew and travel restrictions imposed on Japanese Americans were a legal application of military authority.
In 1944. in the JACL-sponsored Fred Korematsu case, the majority of the Supreme Court upheld the legality of the evacuation based solely upon race. Three justices dissented.
But late in 1944. the Supreme Court ruled unanimously in the Mitsuye Endo case that the government bad no right to detain loyal American citizens in the relocation centers. Within 48 hours the Army revoked its West Coast exclusion orders.
One legal victory had been won, but it is a disturbing fact that the Supreme Court's decision legalizing evacuation on racial grounds still stands. The JACL agrees with Mr. Justice Jackson's warning that the decision is a "loaded weapon" pointed at democratic rights, and a reversal of the decjsion is an important piece of unfinished business in the attermath of an ugly ehapter of American history.
The reopening of the Pacific Coast clearly revealed the hand of the racists. Having lost the fight to exclude Japanese Americans legally, these elements resorted to threats and violence in an effort to discourage evacuees from returning to homes, rarms and businesses. On shamefu l record are more than 100 cases ot arson. sbootings and beatings against returning evacuees. By these acts ot terrorism, they demonstrated that their cry of "evacuate the Japs as a military necessity" was a sham. Their alleged concel,}) for national security turned out to be a front for blind racial prejudice or desire tor personal economic gain.
homecoming One by one the harriers
lell. Nisei and Issei reestablisbed homes and businesses, returned to old jobs or tound new ones and sought to re-' swne lives disrupted by the Evacuation. One major acknowledgment of the loyalty of the Nisei was the Navy's announcement late in 1945 that its ranks would be open for their enlistment.
Postwar Convention
In their first postwar national convention, JACL members assembled in Denver in 1946 with the sober realization that the organization must spearhead a fight to secure, once and for all, the rights for whicb Nisei G.l.s had gone "for broke." Their \V art i m e experiences had taught them the realistic lesson that only in organization is there strength. that organization is essential even in making a minority group's needs lmown to its own government. Among their goals were three measures aimed at rectifying injustices against persons of J apanese ancestry:
• Legislation to change federal law classifying Issei as "ineligible to citizenship" even though they had resided in the United States a hal! century or more. This law was the basis for w hich legalized discrimination against Issei in many states.
• Compensation tor property losses suffered in the evacuation.
• Stay of deportation for deserving aU en Japanese \'vho had lost the rigbt to reside in the United States as "treaty merchants" on the outbreak of war. Many of these individuals had American-born families.
Such an ambitious program could succeed only tbrough a campaign of pl1blic education beginning with communities which had been receptive to J a pan e s e Americans. New JACL chapters were estabNational Council shall be necessary for the determination of all issues, questions, and lished in the East and Midwest where evacuees had settled permanetly. and old chapters were reactivated as the Nisei returned to their West Coast homes.
Today the JACL membership roster refiects the extent to which Japanese Americans have spread out across the United States. Whereas before the war J ACL cbapters were found only in a hali dozen states in the Far West, now there are chapters and members in 32 states and the District of Columbia. Thus, out of the war. JACL emerged 8 t r u 1 y national organization both geograpbically and in scope of program.
To implement the national program, a JACL Anti-Discrimination Committee was incorporated and an office opened in Washington, D.C. JACL had not forgotten that Washington officials in 1941 had been woefully ignorant about this American minority and had allowed West Coast pressure groups to dictate national policy regarding them. JACL leaders realized. too,
treaty merchants on the same basis as those of other nationalities, thus assuring them of being able to stay with their American-born families. . .
In addition, through JACL representations, the So I die r Brides Bill was amended to permit the Japanese spouse and children of American servicemen to enter the United States without regard to the J apanese Exclusion Act. Tbis enabled Japanese, for the first time since the Exclusion Act o! 1924. to enter this country tor permanent residence. J ACL was also successfuJ in restoring tenure. cancelled as a result of Evacuation. to Nisei in federal civil service. Additionally, Congress passed more than 200 private bills benefiting individual Issei and Nisei. Significantly. every bill passed without a dissenting vote. . .
In 1952. JACL's major lerislalive goal of citizenship privileges (or the Issei was realized with passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act elimin ating race as a qualification for naturalization. This Act also aIlowed for the first time a token immigration quota for J apan, negating the 1924 Oriental Exclusion Act which many historians sav planted the seeds of l'esenlmpnt which resulted ultimately in war. JACL's plea that certain prospective citizens be .per!nitt~d to take their exammatlon In their native lan gl.1ae:e enabled manv other lon'i!-time resident aliens of various nationalities to qualify for American citizenship.
Elimination of the category. "aliens ineligible for citizenship," had widespread repercussions. Some 500 [ederal and state s tat ute s aimed against and hindering the progress of such aliens, and in many cases their citizen children were wiped out.
To assist Issei in qualifying for the citizensbip they had desired tor so long, JACL chapters conducted naturalization classes, So great was the response that for the first time in history the Immigration and Naturalization Service conducted mass swearingin ceremonies. Despite the advanced age of most Issei. lhe record shows that in proportion to their number more of them became citizens than in any other nationality group.
. Old Age Assistanc~
JACL also interceded successfu lly (or two groups ot Issei with special probiems. California was persuaded to grant old age assistance to Issei unable for one reason or another to secure naturalization and who had lived in the United States at ieast 25 years prior to passage of the 1952 Naturalization Act. The naturalization petitions of certain Issei were challenged on the ground that they had sought exemption from World War I military duty on tbe plea that they were aliens. Precedents were established when cow·ts in San Francisco and Denver accepted JACL's position that
that there are no spectators in New restaurant a democracy, and that good citizenship means active participation in government. And so the organization has become the collective voice of the Nise'i , and the J ACL finds itself being consulted on matters of national policy having to do witb Japanese Americans.

JACL carried on its eampalg'tl tor equal rights in courts and state legislatures as welI as Congress. In the Oyama case the U.S. Supreme Court established the right of a citizen child to receive a gift of land from bis alien parent. This led eventually to the California State Supreme COUl't declaring unconstitutional the 40 - year - old California AHen Land Law in the Fujii and Masaoka cases. JACL subsequently succeeded in removing this law from the state constitution through referendum. Also as a result of the Oyama rose the State of California discontinued what has been reIened to as ''legalized blackmail" or Japanese landowners by requiring oulof-court money settlements to the state to clear land titles. Tbe state was latel' to return such e~ch.eat monies by action of the legislature.

In Loving v. Virginia' where the U.S. Supreme Court ruled a g a ins t anti-miscegenation statutes in the States. JACL filed amIcus brief and its National Legal Counsel participated in oral argument.

The JACL Story CGDlJDaed 'rom Previous Pal"e
the Shame," in the Twentieth Century series.
Ia addition, the JACL bas been the primary source of Information for a host of writers and edJtors, scholars and ltudenls, officials and organizations seeking factual informatioa about Japanese Amorleanl.
One of JACL's cur r ~ n t functions is 3! a IIwatchdog, U
alert for movements and propOsals both in Con!:Tess and slale legislatures whicb migbt have a pOssible efIect on the welfare of Japanese AmerIcans. In this role it has fougbt discrimination in cemeteries, protested the production of "hate" fUms depicting Japanese Americans in a fal .. light and the revival on television of war tim e movies that portray the Nisei ... ·rongfully. Through JACL's
~l!orU, Inaecuraclet In tenboo k 5 concerning Japanese Americans have been corrected. JACL has pOinted out the derogatory Implications In the word "Jap" with the result that several slandard dictionaries bave revised their definition of the term and It has all but disappeared fr o m newspaper headUnes.
In 19GO JACL launcbed a project of researching and writing the history of the Japanese in America and their contribulions to this nation. While designed as a tribute to the Issei. the project was in keeping with the JACL's educational program and to highlij!ht the rich cultural heritage of Americans of Japanese descent. The University of California at Los Angeles has accepted co-sponsorship of the history project and has been designated as a repository for documentary material coli e c ted by researchers. Both the Carnegie
CorpOration and the Nationol lnstitute of Mental Health bave made grants to further the project.
In recent years an lnereaa .. inI" number of Sansei - the children of Nisel-bave turned to J ACL for a better underslanding of their identity and backgrounds and for knowledge about the struggle of their parenls and g~andparents to find acceplance In American life. A number of Junior JACL groups have been formed under sponsorsbip of J ACL cbapters as an important part of the JACL program. Unhindered by discrimlnation, these young people already are making signIOcant contributions to theIr ('ommunities and in their Oelds of endeavor.

· As In all democratic organ-Izations, it is the local JACL chapters whicb provide grass roots support for the national organization. At the local level they carry on programs of public education, community welfare and youth development; they sponsor informative sessions on local and current issues; organize athletic leagues and social events; undertake voter registration and get - out - to - vote campaigns. In short, they serve as channels for tbe wider participation at Japanese' AmerIcans in the total ille of their resoective communities.
The current acceplance of Americans ot Japanese ancestry. as contrasted with their position in 1941, is both a measure of the effectiveness of the JACL and a demonstration of the ability of a democracy to redress wrongs within lis framework.
Congressman W a 1 t e r H . Judd of Minnesota paid eloquent tribute to the J apanese American Citizens League in a statement, titled "Touchstone of Democracy,H pubUshIn 1955 on the occasion ot Its 25th anniversary, In the Congressional Record:
• • "Tho JACL story tor their
flnt 25 yean is an Inspirtng document of democracy in action. at the best, an epic which could have been written only in Amerlca and which completely refutes the hate and race mongers of only a rew years ago who charged that the Japanese, by their very character, were unassimilable into the American cultural pattern, whJcb itsel! as we all know, is made up of tbe cultures and the contributions of all the many peoples who have immigrated to these shores since time ImlJlemorlal, as did the ancestors of all of us.
uBut perhaps even more Important In the long pull of history Is that, what the JACL has accompUshed here In the United Slates is livtng proof to all the free peoples of the world, and especially to those In the Far East wbo are so Important to us as a nation today, that the democratic way is best, for it makes possible the correction of abuses and wrongs and the achievoment ot justice and redress on the basis of the complete r e cor d and of individual merit. not race, color) creed or national origin."
In lis ceaseless struggle tor the extension of the rights and privileges of America to every citizen, the JACL has been guided by the spirit of its "Japanese American Cre.d." It was WTitten by Mike M. Masaoka, long-time Washlngton representative of the JACL. It was first read before the United States Senate on May 9, 1941, and publisbed in the Congressional Record. #

Washlllgton, D.C. July 12, 1970
In the blemuum since the 20th Blenmal NatIOnal JACL ConventIOn was held 10 San
t& .Jose, Ca tliorma, August 21 to ~ 24, 1968, much has happened -
to mankind and this planet, to Ihe world , to this nalion, to Ilmted States·Japan relation· :ups, to Japanese Americans, ' J J \CL, etc.
,\ud, for tbe Wasblngton JACL Office tbe past two ~ ra rs hal e been one of e~· tl'aordlnary activity, perbaps tbe most actil'e in the past decade and a hall.
For mankind, it was a time wben man fi rst landed on tbe moon , and successfully reo turned to earth. As tbe age of space was truly Inaugurated, clvlllzation once again asked the eterna l question , wby cannot socia l progress keep pace witb scientific advance· ment?
For tbe worid, tensions, unrest, and bloodshed con· tinued In many parts of earth, particularly In South· east Asla and In Ibe Mideast as far as our country was roncerned.
For the United States, after eight years of Democratic con· trol of the govermnent, the Nixon Administration assumed Executive authority, though the Democrats continued to dominate the Legislative pow· ers through majorities In the House and the Senate of the Congress . Within the Judiciary, tht liberal Warren era of activistic interpretation ended and a period of strict constructionism of the Con· slitution began, even though in unprecedented actions two con· secullve nominations to be As· sociate Justices of the Suo preme Court of the United Slates were rejected by the Senate.
U,S" Japan Relations For United States·Japan
relationships, the agreed,upoll 1972 reversion of Okinawa, and the Ryukyu Islands, to the ad· ministrative control of Japan ended the post· World War II epoch and its client·partner· ship hopefully inaugurating a new era of cooperative, inde· pendent, mutuaUy beneficial, equal partnership.
But in the area of trade and commerce, Japanese Ameri· can relationships were stralned and threatened to erupt into a trade war \~hen, for the first time since the end o( the Pacif· ic War, Japan rejected the American proposal to vol un· t a r i I Y imposed export reo stralnts on teAiiles destined (or the United States. As the sec· ond century slnce Meiji dawn· ed on Modern Japan, rela· tions between Japan and the United States seemed both
promising and forebodJng.
To Japanese AmerIcans and J ACL, this was a time of in· quiry into established institu· tions and ideals, of protest of the quali ty of life endured by particularly the disadvantaged and denied and deprived o( the country, of searching for cuI· tural identity and enrichment, of seeking meaningful ex· pression of the American heri· tage for all, includmg others than those of Japanese an· cestry.
Questions for JACL As we view it , the JACL
once more is at the cross· roads ; once again the times reo quire that JACL determine what directions it should take and what general and specific objectives it should seek.
During the 19205, JACL was a new idea among those of J a pan e s e ancestry in the United States, with citizenship and assimilation as its primary goals.
After It became a national association in 1930, Its hrst decade was devoted to devel· opmg an effective organization that would be able to promote and protect the welfaI'e of those of Japanese origin on the continental mainland of the United States.
The first half of the 1940 dec· ade was one in which JACL, and persons of Japanese race, suffered through its greatest travail. But it was also the time when organizational and individual sacrliice earned the respect, and even the admira· tion, of American society, public and private, though some youth today may question the validity or the need for such status.

MEMBERSHJP - Member· ship is an indication of the ap· peal, the support and partici· pation in our various programs and activities and certainly the heart of our organization. 1969 saw the largest number of members ever recorded In JACL's long history With a to· tal of 24,552 aIded by aU tinle membership highs in 18 Chap· ters and 28 other Chapters doing better than the year pre· VIOUS.

War Relocation Aulhol'lty, a CI· vilian agency stuck with the unpopular, unpleasant job of administering the War Reloca· tion camps. WRA's assignment is two·fold : Operate the camps as best you can; get the people out of the ca mps as quickly as possible.
The nature of this assign· ment makes WRA a sitting duck for the super·patriots, the r a b b I e·rousers, the dema· gogues, the inteUectually lazy, the honestly concerned but badly misinfornled politicians gathered under the banner of the House Committee on Un· American Activities. It is bet· ter known as the Dies COm· mittee for its chainnan, Mar· tin Dies of Texas.
But while WRA is the larget, innocent bystanders - the
Japanese Americans confmed 111 the relocation camps - are being peppered by the com· mittee's shotgun attacks. It is not a pleasant eXjlerience.
The Dies Committee was formed primarily to prohe subvel'sive activities by Commu· nist and Fascist agents. The probe quickly degenerated into a witch·hunt which, in the es· timation of many level·head· ed observers, did far more bad than good. It was in the tradi· tiooS of the Dies Committee for Congressman John M. CosteUo o( Ca1i1ornia to orgaoize a subcommittee to go after '" R,\ with charges of pampering the evacuees and endagering the 11 at ion a I security by mis· managing the camps.
Resentment Stirs All this led to growing rest·
lessness in the camps. Most of the evacuees had been behind barbed wire more than a yeaI·. The shock and numbness were wearing off. Resentment over the injustice of the evacuation was welling ro the surface af· ter a hard winter In the dis·
comfort of the camps. The evacuees - Issei and Nisei alike - had complied with the Army's evacuation order as a demonstration of their loyalty. Now they felt outrage that the attacks on their loyalty, far from subsiding, were beIng stepped up.
\\IRA had not helped matters a few months earlier when it bungled the Army's so·caUed loyalty questionnaire, one of the few times it erred. The premise of the program - to detennine a person's loyalty to the United States hy having him fill out a printed question· naire - was ridiculous on the face of it. Moreover. the ques· tionnaire was so badly worded, the program so conlused, that many persons had answered the key questions involving loy· alty with reservations or an outright " No" when, in truth, they didn't mean that at all.
But the " No" answers gave Costello's sub· committee the opening it was looking for. On May 16, the Associated Press filed a report out of Washing·
ron saying that two ag'I!IIIa CIt the Dies Committee, Tom CDL ett, former cluef ~ for the Distlict Attorney's Of. fice In Los Angeles, and Gena Hag b erg would investlgatci Heart Mountaln WRA camP. lit Wyoming. .
Questionnafre The AP srory went on to 1i31
the Dies investigators 'f\ftI chiefly concerned with till' presence In the camp of ''1,2OG Japanese who replied in a questionnaire that they wisbe4 to be sent to Japan ro fight fOIl the emperor."
They had said nothing of the kind, but such a distorted in· ference was typical of the tactics employed by the DIeS people, and tYPiCal of the reporting of the day.

In order to present a, more or less, chronological account of discriminatory practises by the Canadian non·Oriental against the Japanese, it was necessary, first of all, to un· derstand, not only the com· position and attitude of the Ca· nadian non·Oriental, but also to understand the Japanese

Angel' of evacuees at Heart Mountain surfaces From Sec. A·I Ihe camp. All have been given the same rights and privileges as other members of the colo· ny. including those who have volunteered for service in the American Army. WRA orders now permit Japanese citizens to hold various elective offices within the camp - judges. po· lice officers and block man· agers."
Perhaps influenced somewhat by this report, the Ameri· can Legion posts of north· western Wyoming t he next day passed a resolution urging that "disloyal Japanese" in the camps be treated as enemies and placed in prisons until they could be exchanged for Ameri· can prisoners of war.
Scene at Heart ~rountain
after man got up to say his piece. By the time the meeting ended two hours and 45 min· utes later. Hagberg had been given a crash indoctrination on the injustice of the evacuation, was set straight on the mean· ing of the negative answers to the loyalty questionnaire, and disabused about a great many rumors he had heard.
If Hagberg reported his find· ings to Stripling and Congress· man Costello. nothmg ever came of it for two weeks they set up shop in Los Angeles and put on a circus-like p~rformance with the undisguIsed mtention of harassing and discrediting the War Relocation Authority.
THE PACIFIC CITIZEN
December 25, 1970 Dear Friends:
During the yearend, when one thinks particularly of good friends and the truer meaning of the holiday season, may we take this means and opportunity to thank all who so graciously and generously contributed to the Mike M. Masaoka Testimonial this past summer.
Etsu, Midori and Michael join me in so inadequately expressing our heartfelt appreciation to the thousands who remembered us this past July, when the JACL was good enough to honor us with a testimonial banquet in Chicago. We regret that it was not possible to individually acknowledge each contribution and to try to explain how grateful we are for those expressions of friendship, affection and good will.
We know from looking at the list of the many donors that the contributions came mostly from those with whom we shared the "great adventure" of the last 30 years to gain greater respect and opportu-
nities, not for us of Japanese ancestry alone, but for all others who are privileged to live in this most promising land. So, in accepting these contributions, we have asked that the Testimonial Fund be dedicated to the common causes for which so many of us fought together for three decades and more - to improve the quality of life for all our citizens and to promote cooperation and an equal partnership between the United States and Japan.
And to the Issei who contributed the "around. the-world trip" for the family, may we say that we hope to take advantage of their thoughtfulness next summer. And that every mile, and every stop, will remind us of their kindness in remembering us for contributing little to something that they themselves had earned, the right of naturalization in this lend of adoption and of their children's birth.
May this holiday season be a merry one, and may the new year bring good health, much happiness, and real prosperity to one and all.
Yours in JACL, MIKE MASAOKA
It was in this atmosphere that Hagberg arrived in the of· flces of Heart Mountain Proj· ect Director Guy Robertson and asked for a meeting with representative evacuees. The meeting was set for 2:15 p.m. May 24 in Robertson's office. Block chau'man, elected by the people of each block of bar· racks, and block managers. functionalies named to look af· ter the physical weHare of each block, attended the meet· ing (Block chairman were Nisei. Block managers were primarily Issei.)
A stenographer was present at the Heart Mountain meet;ng and she took verbatim notes. A copy of the transcript was un· covered recently in the files of The Pacific Citizen. and they are reproduced here in full to provide readers I\~th an insight into the feelings and thoughts of Issei and Nisei leaders of the day - and their deep fait h in America despite the bitter experience of the evacuation.

Conducted By: Mr.

It is impossible to say what Hagberg e~"]lected to hear from these people. The trend of the questioning indicates he hoped the evacuees would condemn the way WRA was running the camps. What he got, instead, was an alticulate protest against the evacuation and the continuing atlacks on the loyal· ty of the evacuees.

Shig Masunaga, chairman of the block managers, started orf by declaring the forced evac· uation of U.S. citizens without hearing or trial was un·Ameri· can and urged an investigation into how the evacuation came about.
Minoru Yonemura. a block manager, assailed the unfair attacks against the evacuees by politicians and the press. "I can think of nothing more un· American," he declared.

Christmas Message for
Christmas is a feast day marked by more contrasts than any other holiday or holy day of the year. It has fascinated the minds and hearts of men for almost two thousand years with its historic reality and its mystery. People have always been moved by the contrasts of Christmas, the amazing wonder of the stable anll the star, the very lowest and the very highest, the beasts of the fi eld and the Lord of the world, the commonplace manger and the sudden miraC'Uilous Little Stranger whom angels and shepherds and richly robed kings came to adore.
"Glory to God in the highest!" rings out the Christmas hymn. The very heart of Christmas is that God came down from the highest to show that man even fallen to the very lowest was never beyond the endless mercy of God. Is anything lower than a stable? Foul - smelling and filly, it is the very symbol of mora l depra\~ty. On the other hand is there anything higher than a star? Star-white, star-bright, it is radiant, luminous and pure. . .

4 - SEC110N A THE PACIFIC CITIZEN SPECIAL HOUDAY
Evacuation of citizens without hearing illegal
From Previous Page SbJg !IIasunaga, Cbairman of
tile Block Managers, NIsei: Our whole history goes back to the first stage of evacuation. Our first contention is that the process of evacuation of citi· zens of the United States with· out any hearing or trial is not a principle of Americanism as we have understood it.
In other words, we believe in all the principles of American· ism and the princIples of De· mocracy, and we feel that this forced evacuation is something that we don't quite understand. It is not in keeping with the prinCiples of Democracy.
We feel that some sort of in· vestigation mto the basis of the original proceedings should be Instigated so that we, as Amer· ican citizens would know just exactly why such a process was made. I will open the subject with these remarks and .since this is an open hearing, I .know there are a number of us that have a little bit to add along the same lines and I would like to have the rest of rqy colleagues elaborate on this subject.
MID or u Yonemura, Block Manager, Nisei: After evac· uation and since we have been in this camp, aside from the various phYSical problems and difficulties we have had here, I reel that some of the attitudes
. of specific groups and of the public at large, has been definJtely un-American.
The reason that morale in camp has had a tendency to wane in the last several months, I attribute directly to the fact that we who are behind barbed wires, who are not
. 1Iccused of any crimes, have been trying to defend ourselves against the vicious attacks from the public and press.
A large part of these accusations are absurd. No one has studied or gotten the true racts. They have to read the newspapers and refer to articles that breed, not only race hatred, but hatred against sep· arate groups which, to me, smacks directly of Hitler's Aryan policies. • Antl-Evacuee Press \Vnen such articles are writ-
-ten in such a vicious manner, It causes communities to bring 'pressure to bear against evac· uees coming to their CIlmmu· nities to seek employment and help out at a critical time when man· power is so essential. I can think of nothing more un·
'American. We should have some means
by which we can bring to the lIublic·at·large the facts , the truth, in an unbiased straight· forward manner so that people
"Can get a picture of what we are like. We are just as much American as they are.
We want to help but unless we are given an opportunity to aemonstrate our help, we are helpless. Would like to see an organization of some kind es· tablished so that these vicious falsifications of facts can be doubted by facts that cannot be questioned. I would like to have the ridiCUlous statements that have been made in recent weeks clarified. Anyone per· son would hestitate seriously before opening himself up for lidlcule.
We need an organization like 'other propagandists to combat putting us in such a bad light.
Thomas Sesblbara, Block ChaIrman, Issei: Speaking !lbout vicious propaganda, we h-ave noticed in the paper that Senator Robertson, represent· 'log this part of the country, made a public statement in the paper accusing that 80% of the evacuees are disloyal.
We would like to have a com· mittee, like the DIes Com· mittee. investigate where Sen· 'afor Robertson got such infor· mation and his motives for II11Iking such statements. As ta'r. as I know, that statement 15 false.
As far as we know. we are and have been loyal to the United States and are trying our very best to help ID every program of the government.
lItr. Hagberg: (at this point, there was a long silence, to en· courage the evacuees. Mr. Hagberg stated as follows): You are speaking through the record to Congress and there is no way ID which they can learn of your problems and desires unless 100 state them.
TIIomas a blbara, Block Da.lnn1lD, lisel: I would like to make a statement in regard to the relocation program.
I am In every accord \lith the relocation program of WRA as far as principle is con· C'erned .
We should go out as soon as possible and co-operate WIth the nation's war effort, but the fact remains that a great num· ber of lsse! Youe owuers of
businesses or independent op· erators of [arms and the WRA is pur5uing the relocation pro· gram under terms of job appli· cations. They are trying to find various jobs but the people who have been engaged in business for a number of years are not very much interested in finding jobs.
Independent Fanners Most of the evacuees were
! arm e l' s before evacuation. They were not farm hands but owned farms of their own. We would like to own our own farms and operate indepen· dently so that the whole family could work on these [arms and we would have sufficient in· come to support them. We had to give up everything when we were evacuated.
We need financial aid from the government in order to relocate onto farms.
We would like to have a gov· ernment agency find some means of relocating us in fami· Iy groups and give us sufficient financial support to re·estabIish ourselves independently among our fellow Americans.
As far as my own circum· stances are concerned, what I receive in this Center is not sufficient to support my fami· Iy. I had sufficient money sav· ed before evacuation to take care of myself. So far, I have had to add approximately $500 to what I earn in order to sup· port my family.
$19 a Month Since Sept. 1942, when I first
came into camp, I have received $19 per month for my work as a pharmacist in the hospital and a clothing allow· ance of $16.75 for my whole family.
I would personally like to relocate, but in order to relo· cate, I would like to have fi· nancial aid from the govern· ment to establish myself in business. I have had almost 20 years of ex-perience in business and I know that if the govern· ment would furnish enough capital, I would be able to es· tablish myself. I don't ask for outright grant. I ask for a long term loan and I know I would be able to pay it back.
Rlklo Tomo, Nisei: Five years prior to evacuation, I had a business in which I had an eqUipment investment of $32,000 and merchandise val· ued at $100,000. All of a sudden, this evacuation proclamation was issued. I would like to put my problem in your shoes. How would you dispose of this? If given time, it would have been a different thing.
My business was frozen foods, a new business. I lost the entire investment. If gov· ernment officials would realize that if I had to suffer, 80 or 90% of the evacuees have suf· fered accordingly.
To have the government relocate us on job seeking propositions, is almost impos· sible. Certainly ~'3n't go out with a family on $20 at $25 a week pay. So, some assistance by the government should be made.
Business Debts Met Mr. Sashihara. spent $500 in
the center. I have spent in the neighborhood of $1,500 since evacuation. This does not mean that I have spent the en· tire amount on my family cir· cumstances, but have made, \\~thout any revenue certain contract payments. I have to keep my good name. Couldn't afford to leave my debts be· hind.
Some people may be able to economize and live on $500 from his own pocket beSides What he is getting here. but you consider that the famIly head is the only employable person in a family of 6, he cer· tainly can't subsist.
If you will check the daily sales of Community Enterprise in this camp, you will find the daily sales amount to $3.000 per day, spent by the evacuees themselves.
Howard omura, Block ~Ian· agel', NI el : In this problem of relocation, I believe we are all aware that the country needs man·power and we should all do our bit In the war effort. However. when we stop to con· sider, there is a question as to whether we want to relocate or not.
GO\'ernment officials in Washington say we are not in· terested in going out of camp, that we are interested in stay· ing here and getling fat. If they would only put themselves in our situation - we are indio viduals, born and raised in this country on the principles of Democracy.
Tt is hard for us to get reiDcated and get the same thIDgs the other Caucaslans get. If Caucasians have trouble flDd· ing houSlng, it is doubly tough
for Japanese to rind housing. We have always tried to feel
that we should look at the situ· ation in Caucasian eyes, but if the Caucasians would only look at it from our eyes instead of considering us lazy, etc., they could see the situation as a whole.
All we want is the same chances as other Americans. We could produce just as well as they.
Sam Nagata, Supervising Clerk for Communlty Service, Issei: I have five articles rela· tive to evacuation I wish to present to the Committee. Some or these have been sent to the President, some to Mr. Myer, WRA Director, some to the Justice Department. (The follOwing exhibits prepared, signed and submitted by Mr. Nagata):
Exhibit A: "Japanese Evau· cation and Minority Problem."
Exhibit B: "Japanese Re· settlement Problem."
Exhibit C: "Is Blood Thicker than Water?"
Exhibit D: "This Is My Country."
Ex h I bIt E: "The Inter· mountain States and the Japa· nese."
lilT. Hagberg: Exhibits ac· cepted and will be made part of the record.
Rlklo Torno, Misei: Why is it that the government objects to unit relocation?
IIII'. Hagberg: I cannot speak for the government, nor can I render a persollal opinion.
Riklo Torno, Nisei: Two months prior to evacuation a group of us felt that we should move out. We had 15,000 acres in New Mexico lined up. This involved 250 to 500 families who would evacuate at their own eXllense. We had approval of the local people on the deal, it was submitted to General DeWitt and he turned it down.
Note: (At this point Mr. Rikio Tomo and Mrs. Thomas Sashihara submitted the fol· lowing exhibits):
Exhibit F: Copies of carre· spondence to the President and heads of government agencies relative to evacuation. Sub· mitted by Mr. Torno.
Exhibit F·l: File including copies of speeches given by evacuees at a joint meeting of the Block Administrators and the Administrative staff. Appli· cations for employment and etc. and an article : "I'd like to see.", submitted by Mr. Tomo.
Exhibit G: A copy of a memo orandum sent to John H. Provo ince, Chief of Community Servo ices, WRA, Washington , D.C., tram the Temporary Council of Block Chairmen. This paper presents the desires and wish· es on the whole evacuation problem and is submitted by Mr. Sashihara.
Min 0 r U Yonemura, Block Manager, Nisei: On this ques· tion of relocation, the govern· ment through the WRA has ap· proved relocating the evacuees into a number of occupations. There are any number of men and women in these camps who have been trained to the highest degree and are abso· lutely capable of caITying on various endeavors.
I feel that in order to give confidence, not only to the evacuees but also to the people on the outside, the government should take the initial steps and should employ as many as possible in government agen· cies to pave the way for em· ployment of the evacuees in private business.
It would not only be taking the initiative but would be in· stilling the confidence af the government in the evacuees. They should also do whatever they can in utilizing this man· power in vital industries essen· tial to the war effort in defense industries.
Job Dlscriminatlon Rumor now is that Nisei will
not be accepted in vital de· fense industries. It is things similar to that which tend to break down morale and have great weight in instilling loss of confidence in evacuees seek· ing outside employment. If we could be sure we would be giv. en opportunity in defense in· dustries and aU lines of work and would not be discriminated against except for lack of abili· ty to carry on some given job, then I think this relocation would be carried out in good order. Until given this assur· ance. we will be a little dubious as to how we will fare on the outside.
SbJg MasuDaga, Block Man· ager. Nisei: Relative to the relocation of farm families, at the time of evacuation. the WCeA worked in conjunction \lith the FSA. Any evacuee who had farm property had to be cleared through the FSA so that there was someone to look
after the farm while the evac· uee was away.
At that time, the FSA loaned money to these tenants, or whoever took over the farm, on little or no security. The only security in some cases was the crops grown on these farms. It was just one of those cases -we had to go - our crops were growing there; food was vital to the war effort; someone had to take over and the financing was done by the FSA.
People who took over these farms were of all types. Some had a lot of experience, some were plain laborers and some had no experience at aU. They took over the farms because the loans were available.
Gov!. Loans Needed We feel that most of the
evacuees, even though they received a little for what they left back on the farms - when they think of going out again, they feel that it is just and proper procedure that some governmental agency Ukp the FSA do the same thing for them so that they can get a fresh start on a farm or in some business when they get out into this part of the coun· ti·y.
Most of these people are ex· perienced. They have learned the game the hard way and they would fit very well into our present "Food For Victo· ry" program. There should be some backing to his program whereby some governmental agency could give the evacuees loans to sta1't off on a new ven· ture."
Note: (at this point the fol· lowing exhibit was submitted):
Exhibit H: Copy of memDrandum 0{ Relocation Grants. Submitted by the group of Block Managers.
RepatJ.·iation IIII'. Jlagberg: One of the
questions puzzling Congress is the applications for repatria· tion which were filed by resi· dents of this and the other relo· cation centers. Why, in your opinion, have these people applJed for repatriation?
Shlg Masunaga, Block lIIan· ager, Nisei: It think some of those who have asked for reo patriation are Kibei who have been so instilled with the edu· cation that they received in Japan that it is exactly the way t;hey feel and you can't change it. A number of them expatnated because of paren· tal influence.
Some of them are aged and feel that they have no further future in this country and will be better off in Japan. A por· tion of the Kibei feel the same way.
Pligbt of Issei A man who has brought him·
self up in this country, over· came a number of handicaps and difficulties in establishing himself ; built up a business and reared a family here, gets to a point where the infirmities of age creep up on him and when he is about to take life easier, along comes the evac· uation and he loses everything he has. He is too old to start over again.
Along comes this propa· ganda: " He is not going to get back to California." " He is go· ing to be deported."
They fell that they were go· ing to be restricted in so many ways that they had no reo course. They could not become cillizens of the United States. They had to remain subjects of Japan, and inasmuch as they were Japanese citizens by force, they felt there was no other alternative, and they felt that it was better to repauiate now and get back as soon as possible.
Loyalty Questlons IIlr. Hagberg: What about
the negative reply to the oath of allegiance?
Min a r u YoneDlura, Block lIIanager, Nisei: A large POI" tion of those negative answers came about through misunder· standing and confusion. The registration was thrown upon them suddenly and because their minds were already in a confused state for reasons al· ready enumerated, you can at· tribute a large portion of it to misinterpretation.
There are any number 0{ them at the present time who wish to change tbeir answers. They have stated that their signing of the fonn was under misrepresentation, and it can· veyed the wrong thought, and they want to change it
You will find, if you investi· gate, a large number in this category.
~Ir. Hagberg: How did they misinterpret It?
MI. 0 r a Youemara, Block Manager, Nisei: It was thrust

~PECIAL HOLIDAY ISSUE - DECEMBER 18. 1970
Loyalty- Army Recruitment issue From Previous Page upon them suddenly. They wanted lo know what kind of cl6zens tfley were. Were they first class like anybody else? Would they be given recogni· tlOn as CItizens? Would they be given the privtleges of citizen· ship along \\~th the obligations of citizenshIp?
When they signed "No," they didn't realize· that by signing "No" It was an oath of allegiance. If registration were lo be given over again, the results would be absolutely dif·
• ferent - a radical change. Rlklo Torno, Nisei: I haven't
asked for repatriation. At the time I was taken inlo the As· sembly Center, I entered under protest.
I wrote to the President, Sec· retary Hull, and others. I asked them indIvidually wheth· er I was 100% citizen or not. J know I am a citizen, but to be confined like this! 1 am doubt· ful as to why I am here.
Under Duress If a cittzen, why should I be
here without trial or investiga· hon? If that thought has been tn the minds of the repatriates,
iIt. there are a lot of extenuating "'"' circumstances whereby they
have expressed themselves a lot more courageously then we have.
If a man doesn't know bow he stands, he doesn't know how to answer (the registration form).
It came at the same time as Army registration. The Army asked for volunteers. That procedure was not well consid· ered.
In the first place, we were doubtJul as lo why we were here and then for the War De·
I. partment to say: "We want fir volunteers, so you folks volun·
teer"; don't you get the reac· tion? Why should we volunteer when we don' t know where we stand?
Mg. Hagberg: Why didn't you request clarification as to where you stand. Get it up be· fore Congress?
Rlklo Tomo, Nisei : I wrote lo the highest authorities in the country. AU of my letters were turned over to Edward J. Ennis, Director, Alien Enemy Control Unit, Department of Justice, for answer. Am I sup·
.. poser to be an alien or an I"\" enemy?
And then the War Depart· ment comes in and asks for volunteers. The registration was brought lo us as if we were registering for leave clearance to be relocated. At the same time the Army came in and asked for volunteers, they said that the registration had nothing lo do \wlb the War Department. That was the in·
terpretation given at the start. AIter It was under way, they
said that It was \\~th the War D epa I' t men t . Most of the trouble was with mIshandling of the regislration. Most people would rather sign "no" than to sign something they weren't sure of.
Note: (at this point Mr. Hag· berg asked for copies of the registration forms and these were supplied by the Project Administration.)
Ex bib i t I: Registration Forms: WRA 126 completed by male and female aliens and fe· male citizens. DDS Form 3MA, completed by male citizen. WRA 126·1, substitution ques· tion, completed by aliens.
GI .oec.ouitel"s Rlklo Torno, Nisei: I ha ve a
friend who is a citizen about 40 years old. He has three chil· dren, two of whom have passed 18 years of age. His parents are in Hawaii and because there was no assurance as to how they would be treated there and that they might be interned and shipped back lo Japan, he would rather go back to live with them, there· fore he and his children asked for repatriation. He came back and asked to have his declara· tion rescinded. That man is not disloyal.
Min 0 r u Yoncmura, Block 1I1anager, Nisei: The registra· tion came at a very in· opportune time. This might be a litUe concrete evidence of my own utter confusion of mind.
Not e: (Mr. Yonemura presented his Selective Service Classification card to Mr. Hag· oberg for examination. Mr. Hagberg, ordered it copied as an exhibit and appended as part of the record.)
Exhibit J: Official Form DSS Form 57, Notice of Classi· fication (Indicates that Minoru Yonemura , Order No. 1198, has been classified in Class 4·C by Local Selective Service Board in Los Angeles, California. Dated March 20, 1943).
111 I nor u Yonemura, Block 1Iianager, Nlsel: At the time I was living and conducting busi· ness in Los Angeles, I regis· tered for the draft. They gave me a 3·A because of depend· ents. My younger brother held a commission. Then we came to this center.
When any thought of Army service came up, there was a doubt in my mind whether I sbould volunteer immediately or wait for the draft. Just when the Army came here to ask for volunteers, I got this (exhibit J), from my draft board in CaliJornia, showing a re·classification from 3·A to
4·C. We all got 4-C classiflca· tions.
When you look up 4·C, it means ineligible alien so if we are ineligible aliens. according lo the Draft Board, haw can we volunteer? I would like to object to this clas ification as a group. Want them to show equal responsibility.
There is nothing wrong with me. If I have a physical dis· ability, O.K., I'll be 4·F, but I don't want any 4C. If this reo classification notice had not come, we would have had 300% more volunteers in all of the relocation centers.
1I1r. Hagberg: In your opin. ion, how many of military age are present in this camp?
Min 0 r u Yonemura, Block Manager, Nisei: There are approximately 1,500 lo 2,000 be· tween the ages 18 lo 45. II they changed the classification,. if the status were clarified and we are given first-dass citizen· ship privileges along wiLlt the obligations, they would all vol· unteer and be good soldiers.

Kibei 1Ilr. Hagberg: Let's hear
from the Kibei. By the way, what is a Kibei? I have my own definition but would like lo have yours.
Rlkfo Torno, Nisei: A Kibei is a person who was born in this country, gone back to Ja· pan for an education, and returned to this country. To class Kibei as a distinct class of citi· zen is wrong. I personally feel that those Kibei who have declared themselves willing lo repatriate, should be given credit for standing up for their rights.
~Ir. Hagberg: What is the purpose and intent of the Kibei request for repatriation?
Rlkfo Tomo, Nisei: I would say that the Kibei have tJlteir families back in Japan and they want to join them.
~Ir. Hagberg: Are some of the applications for repatria· tion due to Impelial pressure?
Rlkio Torno, Nisei: No. The Black Dragon SOCiety, etc. are fantastic. We should look at this problem like any other ra· cial group - like Germans, or any other class whose parents are aliens. Just because their parents are alien, does not mean they are disloyal. The Kibei naturally know more of the customs of Japan but that doesn't mean anything. / ~II nor u Yonemura, Block lIIanager, Nisei: No creature on earth could be more forlorn than a man wilihout a country. The Kibei bas been to Japan and studied there. If he knows he isn't going to be accepted as a citizen in this country, the fact that he has lived in Japan

Footnotes at the end of this reo port. -Ed.)
Although British Columbia became a province of the Dominion of Canada in 1871, it was still, at the end of the cen· tury, isolated geographically from the main economic and polilical developments of the eastern region. Due lo this isolaUon, there developed a desire to make British Columbia a British "society".
This attitude was even more intensified by the political in·
~ s tit uti 0 n s of this prOvince .,. which implemented "the ideas
of remaining British, of setting attitudes of acceptance and rejection with respect to non· British stocks, of defining the British Columbia peint of view m mternational relations as they worked through Ottawa and the Foreign Office m Lon· don" (2) .
With the provincial policy al· ready established, it was just a matter for the British set· tlers to maintaIn the social or· ganlzation which they brought with them, i.e., loyalty to the Crown, mastery of the English I a n g u age , economic com· petitiveness.
• Therefore, these people were . not in the poSition lo accept
this Oriental invasion and look· ed upon them as racially inferior, inassimilable people and as a threat to therr achievement of desired standards of living. In fact, they were regarded as 'peaceful penetrators'.
This latter feeling could pos· sibly be attributed to the fact that Japan WIIS the first On· ental nallon to defeat a modern European power, and that thIS expanding empire was to di· rect competition WIth the es· tablished empire of Great Bnt·

Likewise, to show the respect IV - Discrimination: and honour for their ancestors, 1884 lo Pre-World War n it was necessary for the Issei (first generation Japanese im· migrants) to carry on their Buddhist religion. For this to be done, Buddhist temples were built throughout the provo ince of British Columbia. Both actions, as will be shown later, added lo the hysleria that de\'eloped among the non·Ori· ental population.
The entry of the Japanese immigrants into the employ, ment s~'Cne oUended the non· Orientals at two le\'els.
First of all. the Japanese applied their skin and knowledge
Undoubtedly, the Japanese were the target for hostility and prejudice from the very beginning possibly due to a combination of physical ~sibil· ity and economic com· petitiveness.
As early as 1891, an attempt was made to introduce an anti· Japanese measure in the Brit· ish Columbia Legislature by an amendment to a motion to in· crease the Cbinese Head Tax from fifty to two hundred dol· lars and extending it to !be Japanese. However, lite feder· aI government intervened and

Dismissed from Army Another point: men (Kibei)
have been kicked out of the Army. Didn't have a black mark agatnst them, didn 't go AWOL. They were good sol· diers but were discbarged be· cause they were Kibei. Things like that can cause such a doubt as to the advisability of being here.
There are three Kibei boys in my block right now who were soldiers and were dismissed. They got an honorable dis· charge, not a dishonorable dis· c h a r g e. When they asked " Why?", nothing was said. Then the Army wants volun· teers. We wanted to know what our status was.
Note: (at this point three af· fidavits from Kibei who were dismissed from the U.S. Army for reasons ouWned above were introduced and made part of the record by Mr. Hag· berg.)
Exhibit K: Affidavits from K i b e i dismissed from the Army.
Dual Citizenship 1I1r. Hagberg: What is your
interpretation of dual·citizen· ship?
RIkIo Tomo, Nisei: AU na· tions have dual·citizenship out· side of England and America. The mother - 'country claims citizenship regardless of oU· spring born elsewbere.
1111 nor u Yonemura, Bloc 1I1anager, Nlsel: Most dual-citi· zenships are under no volition of their own. Fortunately my parents saw fit to register me as an American and nothing else. But it is different with a lot of folks r know. They were registered at birth. They had nothing to say about it. They are American citizens and nothing else. o Employment
Note: (at this point, Mr. Yonemura introduced the fol· lo\ving as an exhibit):
Exhibit L: A mimeographed bulletin, Sentinel Supplement, May 21, 1943.
1I1r. Hagberg: According to tllis paper (a bulletin issued by tile employment division of the He a I' t Mountain Relocation project), there are a large number of jobs being offered in different parts of the United States. Axe these jobs being accepted? (Exhibit L)
Rlldo Torno, Nisei: While they have never been used to domestic work, quite a few are so sick and tired of the camp that they have gone out. The majority of the offers are for domestics or laborers.
l\lr. Hagberg: Mr. Richey
prevented the passage of this motion for this could have strained relations between Ca· nada and Japan.
Between 1896 and 1901, the Japanese population in British Columbia swelled to 5,000. Now, the non·Oriental popu· lation of the province could feel the "squeeze" in the eco· nomic market.
Mr. Carter·Cotton, Provin· cia! Minister of Finance ,and Agriculture, stated in Febru· <ll"J, 1899, "It is unquestionably in the interests of the Empire that the Pacific Province of the Dominion should be occupied by a large and thoroughly Brit· ish population, rather than by one in which the number of aliens largely predominated and many of the distinctive features of a settled British community were laCking" (5) . This was further evidence of wbat nationality of people were going to establish and miantain the future political policies of this young province.
1901 Study Commission In 1901, a Royal Commission
had been appointed lo study the eUect of the Oriental immi· gration in British Columbia. There findings were that tlJe economic rivalry that existed between the Japanese and n 0 n·Oriental workers was "creating a feeling so pronounced and bitter among a large class of non·Orientals, as to endanger the peace and be a fruitful source of international irritation" (6).
Furthennore, the Japanese appeared lo control the boat· building industry and were very active in lumbering, min· ing, railway work and other operations.
In 1902, Asians who were British citizens in British Columbia lost the right to vote in all federal and provincial elec· tions due to the actions of this provincial Legislature. This disenfranchisement proved to be an important restriction as far as the Japanese were con· cerned for this meant ex· c1usion from a wbole series of activities in the politica.l and economic life rt the province.
stated this morning that mechanics are leaving here dally.
Rlkio Tom. Nisei: Skilled men are going out daily. We can't go out on these cheap jobs. It is O.K .. for young kids, but for future security of a family, we can't go out on jobs like thaI.
I don't even want to go out on a job and then have to ask some government agency to supplement my earnings so I could gel along. That thought is uppermost in the minds of all of us. Skilled jobs are being filled immediately. Domestic and cheap labor jobs are not.
1I1r. IIagberg: What about the bureau of reclamation job on the Canal?
Mark Tsunokal, Block Cbalr· man, Issei: Our boys work 8 hours a day and get $16 per month . The government has spent $6,500,000 to promote the canal and we are trying to get it to work at $16 per month. It will be completed tomorrow. The Caucasians get full pay and we get $16.

The Japanese, once becom· ing Canadian citizens, could not become candidates for any election; they could not vote in federal or municipal eJectioris. Also, exclusion from the vot· er's list made them ineligible for certain professions such as pharmacy and law.
Even those veterans who served in the Canadian Ex· peditionary Force in France were not granted permission to vote provinCially or federally in British Columbia until 1931.
Immigrants from Hawali AIter 1901, Japanese immi·
gration to Canada dropped con· siderably; however, in the first ten months of 1907, over 8,000 came in. This influx was partiy ,a result of an American regu· lation prohibiting Japanese immigrants lo Hawaii from se· curing passports lo go to the mainland.
Since it was no longer pos· sible to get into the United States by way of Hawaii, im· migrants then in the islands turned lo British Columbia as an alternative. Because boat· load after boat·load of J apa· nese were aniving contino uously in British Columbia, the non· Orientals panicked, and anti.Japanese feelings were revived.
~Ir. Hagberg: What about the administrative staff here? Is it satisfactory?
Rlldo Torno, Nisei: It is not the fault of the administrative staff, but the aims of the relocation program. They have failed, in certain aspects, lo get the work of this project properly done. Without any reo

As a result, in 1908, in British Columbia, one of the chief is, sues of the federal general election was Oriental immigra· tion. Conservative party candi· dates pressed for the anti·Ori· ental votes which resulted in a severe set back for the Liberal party.
FollO\ving the 1907 riot, two commissions were set up -one to determine the losses in· curred by the Orientals with due compensation to follow, and the other to look inlo the methods by whicb Japanese labourers had been induced to emigrate lo Canada in such large numbers. Both inquiries were beaded by Mr. Mackenzie King.
Gentlemen's Agreement A follaw·up lo the 1907 riot
pnd the two commissions was the first of many restrictions on Japanese immigration. The Gentlemen's Agreement of 1908 which was mutually agreed upon by the governments of Japan and Canada consid· erably cut down on the number of Japanese immigrants com· ing to Canada. The regulations of this Agreement were as fol· laws:
flection on the administration, it is as if anyone of us were placed in a job like this - a new thing-without any ex· perience. Naturally, there are a lot of people with gripes which really should not be lodged against the heads them· selves. The proper place lor gripes to be placed, Is lo the government directly, because the program itself has been wrong.
Mr. Hagberg: What is Com· munity Service?
Thomas Sashlbara, Block Chairman, Issei: It belongs to the evacuees.
Mr. Hagberg: Describe it please. Is it a means of earn· ing in addition to your monthly stipends?
Thomas Sasbibara, Block Cbalnnan, Issei: It is a means of collective buying whereby we reduce tbe costs. It is man· aged by the evacuees, the evacuees do the buying, and it is financed by the evacuees. We have a WRA superinten· dent to oversee it.
We started out with an exten· sion of credit from wholesale houses. We had two months credit lo start with. In two months we made sufficient profit to cover the credit ex· tended.

Thomas Sashibara, Block Cbalnnan, Issei: Mess hall food is all right for ordinary people but we have so many aged people and growing chil' dren that they need supple· mentary food. The three meals

If so, and there are no mam against you, then you are given indefinite leave. In the event that you have no casb on hand and no bank account, If you are dead broke, then the WRA gives you a cash grant to tile point of employment, $3 per day for food, and $50 for the head of the family only, besides transportation.

Seattle's South Park From SectlOD A-5
The favorite streams, s w amp s, ponds, meadows, woodlands and nook and the whole beauty and tranquility of this farm country as we have known are buried in oblivion_
I was Intrigued as to the reason s for the heavy concentration of Japanese here. The higher ground portion of the total area known now as the Boeing Field (King County Airport) was a fertile ground for truck gardening. Some of Issei farmers were here since 1905.
WWI Boom Frank Hisayasu, past two
year prexy of Spokane Chapter JACL and charter member of One Thousand Club, explained that during World War J there was a heavy demand for fresh vegetables and the Japanese farmer capitalized on this opportunity_ What an irony of contrast with World War II!
It was because of Issei ingenUity that crops were diversified instead of thro\\~ng all the eggs in one basket, avoiding the extreme ups and downs of farm fortunes. Radishes, onIons, carrots, beets and turnips were tied together in a group of threes which in turn was tied again in twelves that was referred to as "one bunch" at the wholesale market. You can Imagine this type of requirement calling for a whole army of workers.
All truck gardening was a fa mil y enterprise. Women folks and children would sit
around the table tying up bundles of vegetables. They Joked, kidded, talked. sang and devised other schemes to while away the time. This may go on till past bedtime as the occasion demands. It would be hard to perceive generation gap or the lack of verbal commumcation with Issei under these circumstances.
Vegetables were shipped by horse and wagon to wholesale commission houses on Western Avenue, to Pike Place Market, and to scattered outlets such as Pacific Fruit & Produce Co. Some of the vegetables were transacted in direct sales at 6th and Dearborn where the farmers met the throng of lbriving independent Japanese grocers.
One of the hazards of farmers in their daily journey was traveling through Georgetown which had a reputation for being tough even upon whites. Many of the Issei saw fit to carry side-arms for protection. The travel to the city had to be negotiated over the 6th Avenue trestle bridge as t/le southern portion of downtown Seattle was still a big tideland. Railroads and interurban electric lines were also on trestles.
Early farmers of South Park were headed by brothers Kenichi and Kanichi Kato and their families, reputed to have the largest farm with 18 acres.
o the r s included Takejiro Dois, Teruzo Fujiwaras, Kiichi r 0 Hamamotos, Kaichi
Japanese In Canada From Section A-S River to the northern boundary of British Columbia (possibly beyond the Skeena River district).
In 1919, this figure had risen to 3,267. As was expected, complaints were made by both Indians and Whites that they were being dflven out of the industry.
"As a result, in 1920 and 1921, the Dominion Department of Fisheries directed the Vancouver fishery commissioners to limit the number of licenses to the Japanese. In 1922, the Department reduced the salmon trOlling licenses to the Japanese by 33 per cent. J n 1923, licenses issued to the Japanese declined 11 per cent, and in 1924, there was a further reduction" (12).
By the late 1930s, less than 15 per cent of the original number of Japanese had possession of fishing licenses.
Lumbering and fishing have been closely allied in the economy of the Japanese in British Columbia. Because fishing was a seasonal occupation, many entered the lumber industry during the off-season.
The Japanese moved into the lumber industry in significant numbers only in the late nineties, but by 1900, they were in all branches of the industry In sufficient proportions to challenge the attention Of nonOriental labourers.
From 1905 to 1908 the total
increased rapidly as a result of increased Japanese immigration. As in the fishing industry, protests were lodged and intensified until the outbreak of World War I.
Arter the conclusion of the War, efforts were made to find employment for the returning soldiers, and, once again, the Japanese became the scapegoat for the lack of jobs in the lumber industry.
To remove this Japanese "problem" operators on provincial lands faced the threat of losing their licenses if they employed Japanese; in addition, Japanese operators were unable to retain their licenses. It was not surpriSing that from 1918 to 1923, the percentage of Japanese in the lumbering industry dropped from 12.98 per cent to 8.94 per cent during which time the non-Oriental percentage of the total increased from 58 per cent to 70.84 per cent.
As Fanners By the 1920s, many Japa
nese, victims of persecution in both the lumbering and fishing industries, bad accumulated enough capital for investment in some kind of productive resources because they sought better all-round conditions.
Agriculture still remained the important occupational endeavour, and the Japanese took up uncleared land, especially in the Fraser Valley and Okanagan Valley, and built

Kushi brothers Tanejiro N. and Toyosuke operated the soy sauce and miso manufacturing plant. Riyo Tada remembers the family buying an Indiana truck in 1921.
As the economic ctimate improved, I remember the days when Safeway Stores, Inc. sent representatives directly to the farms. Finding certain crops to their liking, they would buy the whole portion of the acreage outright.
Each spring the lettuce crops were sent to Kent Valley cold storage plant in preparation for shipment in box cars for the Eastern market. Lettuce was repacked with chopped ice in crates and sealed.
Mention should be made for the many Filipino farm worker~ on Issei farms. They adjusted well to Japanese cookery seasoned with soy sauce. They were excellent workers needing little supervision. In rare instances the Japanese learned to speak smatteringly in Filipino phrases.
Each spring the farmers waited in apprehension as the melting snow from Mount Rainier National Park emptied into Duwamish River through
them up into highly productive and fertile farms.
"In 1927, for example, it was estimated that the total agricultural acreage owned by Japanese in British Columbia amounted to almost 10,000 acres valued at well over one million dollars" (13). Most were engaged in mixed farming or soft fruit growing. In fact, they came to assume the d 0 min ant position among farmers in berry growing.
Despite their successes by the mid-thirties, the Japanese stili found themselves to be aliens in the land of their birth - citizens without the basic rights of citizenship. Therefore, the leadership among the Japanese communities appeared to be changing hands from the first generation (Issei) to the second generation (Nisei).
Nisei Take Cbarge The Nisei wanted to chal
lenge this British "society" and its political institutions -they wanted the right to vote, they wanted to live free of all restrictions placed against their people.
T his second generation movement culminated in the Japanese Canadian Citizens League which was organized in the spring of 1936_ In the same year, they sent a delegation to Ottawa to appear before the Special COmmittee on Elections and Franchise Acts of the House of Commons to request a revision of the legislation which prevented them from voting.
In 1938, the Nisei initiated a movement for better homes in

When you feed so many people, you have peculiar appetities. Someone had the idea that Japanese could thrive on fish_ We don't like it. When you smell that fish, you go home_

Japanese community volunteers were marshalled for emergency duties, working around the clock to reinforce the weakened dikes with sand bags. One spring in 1933, a record 13.33 Inches of rain fell in one month almost wiping out lowland farms.
The Duwamish Waterway is essentially a salt water river rising and ebbing with the lunar tides fed by the waters of Puget Sound. The Army Corps of Engineers flood control projects have since taken corrective measures.
Students from this area attended the wooden South Park Elementary School built in 1892. This was abandoned In 1932 with transfers being made to Concord School, a brick building of 1914 vintage. This $80,000 structure continues to be the only school in South Park today. Cleveland High School was built in 1927 just above Georgetown. But up to this time students had a pick of any high school in the city with Broadway, Garfield, Queen Anne and West Seattle being the favorites. A built-in desegregation system?
It was not fashionable for teachers to request transfers in the early days. After seeing the third or fourth pupil with the same surname the teachers will inevitably come up with the question : "Just how many more do you have coming up?"
Yet for all this Spartan-like routine of farm life for children, attending school may
Vancouver to discredit the claims of the Japanese low standard of living. Although the Japanese Canadian Citizens League worked very hard to unite their people as a whole, time ran out for them on December 7, 1941.
A state of social instability existed tl British Columbia as the 19th Century drew to a close. Attempts to evolve a British "society" were hampered by isolation from Ottawa and the rest of Canada, by the rapid Americanization (rom the south, and by the emergence of an aggressive new power, Japan, from the Far East. Therefore, it was natural for this British stock to become sensitized to their social values and intensively defensive of them.
Sociological Review The Japanese, from the be
ginning, were viewed with uncertainty which led to the development of stereotypes organized chiefly around ideas of their low standard of living, of their inassimilability, and of their involvement in "peaceful penetration". Such concepts became to the British settlers a guideline for their discriminatory actions as well as a means of justifying them,
n was well known that concern about their standard of living was in fact an expression of fear related to economic competition. Nonetheless, impressions and beliefs about the standard of living provided data for arguing that Orientals should be excluded from Canada for it was obvious that they were not interested in

Those wlth cars carried loads of passengers. Until the 8th Avenue swing bridge w\;lich revolved horizontally about the vertical axis was abandoned and torn down, no bus service was available in this area.

Upon first glance of Powell Street, the Japanese community of Vancouver, one would be inclined to agree with the above statement as so many non-Orientals did at the time. However, careful examination ot the situation revealed some significant factors - for example, wage discrimination against the Japanese meant an automatic lower standard of living; housing discrimination mea n t p 0 0 I' I y developed houses.
Assimilation Issue The question of the inas
slmilabilty of the Japanese had been used in arguments to support cessation of immigration and to support deportation, and had been tied in with the poor standard of living of the Japanese as positive evidence of inassimilability.
To justify their stand, the non-Orientals pointed to the perpetuation of the Japaneselanguage school and the Buddhist temples, and the clustering of these people, i.e. Powell Street. Reasons for the establishment of language schools and Buddhist temples were previously given_
This clustering was certainly not peculiar to the Japanese, but, was typical of almost every immigrant settlement in every Canadian province.

Rwnors ~lr. Hagberg: r heard that
the evacuees were picking wild flowers on the mountain instead of working, how about it?
Rlkio Torno, NIsei: Because they picked a few flowers during lunch hour - do you infer that we people aren't putting in full time work? The picture is, during our working hours, we go out aod pick wild flowers and etc.
If there Is any accusation like that, consider the mental attitude of the workers only receiving $16 per month. If you consider that, there may be some justifying conditions of that nature, but something like that shouldn't be brought out. If a man is only getting 50 cents per day, you can't in your own heart, put in the time that you would otheTWise.
~II nor u Yonemura, Block ~Ianager, Nisei: I believe he should put in his full time_ A ITI1In might bave gone out and picked flowers and shrubbery to help kill the drabness of his home here, so tbey assume that he stayed all day picking flowers. Not a true picture at all. They take a poi n t and stretch it to suit the purpose for which they want to establish. You'll find that the s e statements are gross exaggerations.

Park, Inc. in Sept. 1917 and that a quitclaim was made to attorney Pierce Lanergan and Shigeru Osawa liS trustees in June 8, 1921. (Osawa became chater president of the Seattle JACL 1921-22 before JACL was organized nationally.) This may have been a conditioned reflex due to California framing a very comprehensive law aimed at Japanese land ownership and Washington was following suit.
Another quitclaim deed was made in May 1930 to "James Nobuyama and Minoru Tamesa, American born citizens." Note the emphasis on the refen'a1 to citizenShip status.

The Japanese government put out a new law in 1924 where Japanese who were born in the United States were considered as American citi· zens and were not asked to register with the Japanese government. At that time they made proviSiOns, for people who wanted to, to expatriate their Japanese citizenship.

found itself in a rather dellcate position for "not to take action was tantamount to telling British Columbians that they were wrong, that although they had lived in the area where theJ<e were only 22,000 Japanese in a population of some 694,000. they had mis-appraised and mis-evaluated the situation, that their province was not as important in world strategy as the y had assumed" (17) ; whereas, to take action meant possible retaliation by the Japanese government against the Canadian people in Japan.
When partial evacuation was announced on January 14, 1942, a protected area was established from which "all enemy aliens" were excluded.
The protected area was a W narrow 100 mile-wide strip ~ bounded on one side by the Pacific Ocean, the other by the Cascade Range, reaching from Alaska and ending at the American border. It contained practically all the Japanese communities in the province.
Less than a month later, the Minister of Justice ordered all male enemy aliens of 18 to 45 years to leave the protected coastal area before April 1st. Therefore, on February 24, the first contingent of 100 Japa. nese male nationals left V~ couver to disembark at Ralnbow and Lucerne, BritlBh C0-lumbia.

"You get it, beautiful_ Aren:t you a flower of Japanese cull!vallon? Trained to please_ In service Ulere is joy_"
Noriko's fingers tapped my arm impatiently, playing along the biceps as though she were rehearsing her famous koto numbers. Her fingers were fine instruments themselves: deli-

directors who fawsed closeups on every other featw'e of her body, had never scanned tbose tender and fluent hands w hie h had every quality thought of as aristocratic, which flexed and narrated and interpreted more expressively than her famous face . . .
I got her cigarette for her, just the same, and lit it and was grateful for the automatic hand-pressure and murmured thank-you-very-much.
Then she kicked at me and kicked from the bed tile itIing

lures. Just wonderful." "Too small. IJ
She would not listen to me, working berself up suddenly into a state of angry eyes and boarse voice:
"Men say beautiful, wonderful , beautiful, wonderful. I don't like it. Men would be ashamed to make love to a woman and not be able to tell themselves, she is beautiful. Why? Because, in their heart, they would always like to be the only one, the first one. And if they cannot have that, they must have beauty."
"You wouldn't talk like that if you were ugly. All beautiful broads are the same that way. And they all say, men are all the same."

But Noriko quickly passed over that casual lie, although she must have known haw men clutch at it and returned to the subject of her own body:
"Now I'll tell you a secret. There isn't a woman in pictures who hasn't had some surgery done. Do you see these little white lines, under here? 1 had my breasts made bigger last year. The doctor said the lines will go away in another year.-And my eyebrows and hairline. Plucking was making them thicker, they said. I had to have electric-needle for hours. Now they'll never grow back. - If I get a chance to go to the United States, I must have my teeth done, they say. Very expensive, very painful. I am afraid. But if I go to Hollywood, perhaps we will meet again ,"
" IVl1ere did you learn such good English, Noriko?"
Japanese in Canada From Previous Page
W)apore on February 15, the fed<"" eral government had no other
alternative but to announce on February 26 that the Japanese w 0 u 1 d be evacuated completely, and on March 4, the B r i tis h Columbia Security Commission was established for carrying out the task.
AccordIng to this Commission, tbe 20,000 plus Japanese would be moved to one of four locations: "male nationals, chiefly, to roadwork in the province; the majority of the second generation to Ontano roads or industry; farming and fishing families to Southern Alberta and Manitoba ; thousands of women and childI'en to ghost towns in the interior" (18).
'I( Hastings Park Exhibition Grounds, located in tbe eastern section of Vancouver, became the assembly point for evacuees from which this second step of evacuation could be completed.
"By early spring of 1942, the 20,000 Japanese had reached what was probably the lowest status that any group of comparable size bad ever -experienced. They had been removed from their homes by governmental force. They had lost all freedom of movement and practically all opportuni-

labour, that an aging generation bad hoped to enjoy in its old age, was snatched away. The hopes and ambitions of a rising generation of CanadIans were dashed to the ground. Family ties, between husband and wife, father and children, brother and sister were torn apart. The Japanese were a lonely crowd, hemmed in by the masses of indJfferent or hostile Canadians, with only a handful of people believing m them" (19).
It was expected that 4.000 men would be located in road camps by April 1st, 1942. By March 1st, only 150 had been moved. This plan by the Commission failed because they tried to force family separation without any plan for family care. In addition, the men knew nothing about the disposition of their property at home, and road camp wages were far from satisfactory. Married men usually ended up with less than $8.00 per montb to meet family expenses.
Inland camps With the completion of ar
rangements between the federal and prOvincial governments o f Alberta and Manitoba, Japanese families were now permitted to engage in the sugar-beet indUstry there. Because such a project allowed the Japanese to move in family groups, close to 4,000 persons had left British Columbia's protected area by June 25, 1942.

By FERRIS TAKAHASHI
You are a naughty man! I knaw the studio gave you my life-story. They had it printed in English. Of course there have been hundreds of stories about me in Japanese magazines and newspapers ... about when I was a nice little schoolgirl, the daughter of a general, and went to Tokyo University even after starting pictures and was honors student"
"Yeah, I think I saw it ... Won 't you tell me your true life-story?"
A long, strange shudder was Norikos only answer. I dragged the satin quilt back .over us; its dark-red rust color was all wrong against the pink pas-~ tel sheets. This botel was a lot fancier than what they called "abekkus" but it bad too much chrome and flaSh for an actress of Norilro's rating. I had a feeling she wouldn't have look responsive again. brought a Japanese boy friend "From Hiroshima." here.
Before she could finish her cigarette to the end, I took it away and walked my fingers up the bridge of her short, straight nose. 1 k;issed the corner of her eye,
"No, don't, please," Noriko said. She shuddered. I coaxed her but she WIlS distant and sullen.
"That is too much, too much 'beautifuJ', 'wonderful'."
" I won't say anything." "Yes, I like to talk. Tell me
your life-story." "It wouldn't make sense to
you. I mean, it would be so dJfferent from )lOurs-"
"Tell me, piease. I like to hear about American man with a Japanese face."
"You tell me )lOw'S." " It would not make sense to
you.u
"Well, about me - I'm what we call a Sansei. That means, my grandparents carne to fue United States from Japan - "
"-From \\'illat part," Noriko interrupted. She began to
came the new homes for over 11,000 Japanese_ Towns like Slocan City, Denver, Kaslo, and Greenwood, all former mining centres, were quickly renovated to meet the influx of evacuees. As it turned out, most of the buildings were poorly finished.
For most of the Japanese who had lived for years in the temperate coastal climates, the heavy cold and snow of the first winter proved to be a real h a r d s hip. Congestion also meant that families had to share cooking facilities ; as many as fourteen families had to share one large stove in some of the old hotels.
The following chart shows the result of evacuation during the War: .
LIte on the Prairie The staff members who in
terviewed and selected · families were not fully informed of the condItions under which the Japanese would work and live.
For example, considerable emphasis was put on the freedom which beet workers would have to go into the cities and to visit among friends. They also stated that the farmer would supply housing and water. Understandably, the Japanese jumped at this opportunity.
Unfortunately, this information was fat· from accurate, and the Japanese soon found this out. Houses were not suitable for winter, water had to be hauled in from dIstant points, and freedom of movement was severely limited.
In addition, many farmers looked upon the Japanese as prisoners of war or as slave labour to be exploited. With all these harrowing experiences, it was not surprising that the Japanese felt that the federal government had deceived them into moving to the Prairies.
Self-Support PoHey During the evacuation, one
basic policy the COmmission stressed was to see that all Japanese were able to support themselves.
The Japanese were granted permission to work on Crown timber land in British Columhia while those in Alberta were e.~ted to get by on wbat they made from sugar-beet farming.
Those who were employable but unemployed received very little government aid and were expected to make use 01 their funds received from die uIe of their property_
"Oh, Hiroshima. Very (ar south."
Her tone of renewed disinterest made me react aggressively.
"Very far south_ Is that all Hiroshima means to you -?" and I began to tell her tlJe grim story.
"Oh yes. That was happening before I was born. A very long time ago_ -You know very much about Japan's history. Do you like it bere?"
"Love it. Especially Japanese women."
" All foreign men say that. But they don't know. If they knew, maybe they wouldn't like them so well-"
"Why not, Noriko?" "J apanese women are like
dreamers. They are like - like a woman who has taken something to make her sleep, a little pink pill maybe. Then - you sleep. And you wake up. There are things around you, maybe something real. You see and you can't do anything. You go back to sleep again."
All in all, the siNation as it stood, meant that the Japanese could work if they were needed, but, prohibited from working if they were not needed. '
When they did work, the Japanese received below-average wages. In short, this ;unounted to exploited labour.
Discrimination accompanied those who moved to eastern Canada as well. The Toronto city council refused to issue trade licenses; furthermore , as more and more Japanese moved into Toronto, the city's Board of Control made it a closed city. In fact, the Japanese were denied the right to acquire land, to grow crops and to buy houses wherever they went.
'Eastern Resettlement' With increasing numbers of
Japanese moving "east of the rockies", the phrase "eastern resettlement" carried with it the hop e and expectation of permanent resettlement.
"Thus the idea of resettlement as compared with relocation from the coast to the Interior Settlements, introduced a new factor: the permanent dispersal of the Japanese in Canada so that they would be dIstributed more equally tbroughout several provinces. Hence, there was the notion that resettlement was working towards final solution of the Japanese problem" (20) _
IVl1en the federal government initiated this evacuation program, it was believed ~at the already established restrictions would either freeze or decline.
'So Idlers Vote Bill' As can already be seen, the
contrary developed_ Probably, the most significant, addItional restriction was House Bill 135, Clause 5, commonly referred to as the "Soldiers Vote Bill" which extended the effect of B r i tis h Columbian dIsenfranchisement across the whole of Canada.
The Bill pDOvided that people who dld not have the franchise before the War and who had moved because of the War, could not exercise the right of franchise in federal elections in their new place of residence. Approximately 4,000 Japanese were affected by this Bill_
It is now conceded that the Liberals were fearful of the strength of the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation Party (CCF), and this was one means of eliminating part of their opposition in the upcoming elections. It should be noted that no effort was made in Canada to dIsenlranchise either the Germans or the Italians even though she was at war with them. VI - Post-WW t, WI

"And all the time you're hurting?"
"I don 't understand what you mean. II
"Does it hurt? Which hurts most, the sleeping, the dreami n g or the half-conscious state?"
"You talk about deep things and I ~'t understand. It makes my bead ache, like hearing priests and professors talk. -I am really a very happy person. Nothing hurts me. -It would be nice to eat something now. And take a hot shower,"
"No, don't get up yet. Just a little while longer -You know, I'm leaving Tokyo this afternoon?"
"Yes. You said so last night. 1 am so sorry I can't go down to Haneda and say goodbye. I am to go with the company for some location shots in the mountains. I would like to go on the plane with you to Amer'ica."
" If you ever get to the Coast, I'll hold your hand while you're in that dentist's chair. At beart I'm an old-fashioned American
!teMP carried out the evacuation in 1942 prevented most of the Japanese from properly disposing of their property. Consequently, the federal government took custody of all property, i.e., fishing boats, houses, cars, farm lands, etc. All property was then disposed of without the consent of the owners.
However, to assure the Japanese that their property was transacted bonestly the federal government appointed a Rural Property Committee and a City Property Committee to conduct the sales.
On January 24, 1947, the Japanese Canadian Committee for Democracy conducted a survey of losses and dIscovered that property estimated at $1,4W,395.66 had been sold for $1,031,732.89 - a loss of 25 per cent. However, a 1950 ruling by Justice Henry Bird of the Property Commission recommended additional payment to those Japanese ;!ffected.
(b) Repatriation and Segregation
In 1944, a segregation policy was announced b.y tile federal government - a program similar to that undertaken by the United States in 1943.
Segregation as applied by the Canadian government referred to the sorting out of the "loyal" from the "disloyal" with the ide.a of sendIng th-e latter to Japan, regardless of whether anyone of them were a Canadian or a Japanese citizen.
IVl1y Canada followed the initiative of the United States could be explained !rom the statement of Prime Minister Mackenzie King: "The situation in the United States in a great many essentials is the same as our own ... There is no need for an identity of policy, but 1 believe tbat there is merit in main\ainiDg a substantial consistency of treatment in the two countries" (21).
On February 13, 1945, the first step towards repatriation began. Repatriation referred to those who either during or shortly after the cessation of hostilities signed a request to go to Japan.
VolUDLary RepaD1alI01I Notices of two types were
put up at all detention camps_ The first dealt with application for voluntary repatriation to Japan in which three points were made:
"The net proceeds ~ from the dIsposition of tbetr property, real and personal, in Canada and standing to thetr credit ~l time of repatriation, will be seCID'ed to them and may be transferred to Japan by them upon repatriation following tile clo5e of tbe war.

Noriko caressed me end looked me in the eyes_ Something gentling and maternal had quite changed her for the moment.
"So, you want to bear a st0-ry?" she whispered. "I knaw a very stupid little story."
"Tell me anything, Noriko." "It is about a little high
school girl, yes, a real little daughter of a good family: you know, middyblouse, dark unjform, braids and all that. And her school had become very anxious to do well in sport competition. All the students were hearing stories about the Japanese girls' World Champion team and haw sports competition made better citizens for the country and brought back the old samurai spirit. We were taught principles: loyalty to team, obedience, hard work and duty. This was all talked over and gradually the whole school became very excited, now only talking about making a fine team 10 enter the high school competitions for Ule whole Tokyo district."
"A very big Little League. " "So. -And ~his one little
girl, she had been asked to p I a y volleyball in Middle School, she was liWie and Iihin but also fast. And she must try out for the High School team. And she became a pal't of something very important. She learned to believe that the person is nothing, the team is everything. They worked so hard. They took training in the mountains, just like the boys dId, stood in cold water to harden their bodies."
"Sounds like some of those Zen fanatics. Cold water - did they stand under waterfall?"
"We went into the cold river wearing only summer exercise suits and then we must work out for an hour."
" IVl1at about the girls who -well, you know, had that monthly-"
"At first some had cramps, very bad, but after .a while all

He told me 10 persist _ . _ And then, only one day before the first seeding game, I began to feel sick: fever, sore throat, dizzinl!SS - - -"

"Haw it happened, we don't know; I had caught some throat infection. I fought all day against it. That night at final practice, my mistakes were many and Coach scolded me. Making a retrieve of the ball, I slipped and fen - never, never had that happened before and I was so ashamed. The other girls would not speak to me in the dressingrooms. It was as though they had thrown me out of a boat into the ocean, to drown alone. -And the next moming I could not get up.

I was still feverish on the Monday but I put on my clothes when my mother was out of the room and I ran to school. I looked for my teammates, each in turn, and apologized to them_ They said, not to worry. But nobody talked to me. After sdiool I started alone for home. -By a hedge a lot of girls were standing, waiting. My teammates and others. They pulled my hair first. Then they pushed me around, very bard. After that, they began to hit with anything; with sticks, with boards, with their bands. A man came and shouted at them: he must have been the one who went for help. Not even when many people came did the girls stop. They had to be pulled away, so

SPECIAL HOLIDAY ISSUE - DECEMBER 18 - 25, 1970 THE PACIFIC CITIZEN
• m From Page which barred the employment of Japanese lumber operators. This meant that 800 Japanese loggers and sawmill workers of i n t e rio r British Columbia would be unemployed.
Immediately, the Japanese Canadian Citizens Association took action agamst this deci· sion. Thls Nisei organization received tremendous support from non·Onental organiza· tions in Vancouver and even· tually, the government sus· pended its order. 'it "Finally, assurances were given by the Provincial Cabi· net tbat the British Columbia Timber Act employment dis· ability 1V0uld be temporarily suspended until the next legis· lature, and also assured that this law including the mining law would be rescinded per· manentiy and at the same time the enfranchisement of the Japanese was promised" (2S).
Voting Rights On March 7, 1949, the British
Col u m b i a Legislature in· troduced an amendment to the ProvinCial Elections Act to en· franchise the Japanese.
In June, 1945, the House oC o m m 0 n s passed Bill 198
vhich enfranchised Canadian ci tizens oC Japanese race liv· ing anywhere in Canada after March 31, 1949.
As a follow·up, the federal restrictions which prohlbited Japanese from moving freely into the Pacific coast areas, or gomg into the fishing industry would cease after April 1st, 1949.
Canada centage of discrimination than those Japanese in the lower in· come bracket. The reason be· ing that the fonner found it necessary to associate more frequently with non·Orientals, whereas, the latter tended to associate more with those of their own race.
Here again, one gets an ink· ling of the existence, still, of the fear of Japanese com· petitiveness.
Photo with Application Discrimination has occurred
at another level, and, although this example does not affect solely the Japanese, it is men· tioned because initial protest action was lodged hy the To· ronto Japanese Canadian Citi· zens Association.
In 1969, an advertisement ap· peared in a daily newspaper requesting applicants for an engineering position to submit a recent photograph with their applications.
The Japanese Canadian Citi· zens Association filed a fonnal complaint with the Ontario Hu· man Ri g h t s Commission against the newspaper, which carried the ad, stating that a request for a photograph dis· couraged many minority group members from applying for po. sitions. The hearing ended with the representatives of the newspaper assuring the Com· mission "that every effort would be taken to prevent requests for photographs from appearing in ads" (31).
To many, this may seem like a rather petty case of dis· crimination, but unless such
VII - 1950 to Today examples are challenged, the
of Japan, it is beyond com· prehension how migration from Morocco to Canada was double that of Japan.
Granted. the Japanese im· migration has increased con· siderably, however. this would appear to be a token gesture on the part of Canadian immi· gration officials.
As Domestic Polley The statement made by the
late Prime Minister Mackenzie King back in May, 1947, reflects the present attitude of Immigration authorities :
" With regard to the selection of immigrants, much has been said about discrimination. I wish to make it quite clear that Canada is perfectly within her rights in selecting the persons whom we regard as desirable future citidens. It is not a 'fun· damental human right' of any alien to enter Canada. It is a privilege. It is a matter of dl)mestic policy" (32).
In addition, such government officials, undoubtedly, believe that citizens of such countries as China and Japan are to be considered still, at the bottom of the ladder in regards to ad· mission.
Torazo Iwasaki Case The evacuation of 1942, reo
suited in the confiscation of all Japanese property by the Ca· nadian Government. Thls property was then sold by the Gov· ernment without the consent of the owners, at a considerably reduced price.
Since Ih,at time, several law suits have been made against the federal government for compensation. The most recent claim was by Torazo Iwasaki, in 1969. Mr. Iwasaki contended
with pride on the gains and contributions they have made for Canada since the end of the War, not to mention their achlevements prior to it.
Howe v e r , despite their achlevements and despite their assimilations, they must not become completely absorbed within the majority culture. To do so, would mean destruction oC their Japallese character· istics and background.
Already it is obvious that many Japanese have com· pletely broken their ties with their particular group. They have fallen victim to the false belief that establlshment and preservation of a favourable self·image is necessary before they can function adequately within this society.
Consequently, they have reo signed themselves to the fact that this society does not allow for the development of a favou· rable self·image whlch in· cludes being a Japanese Cana· dian. These Japanese now try to perpetuate their newly ac· quired values - that of the majority - by imposing them on other groups.
The result of this has been self·rejection, their apathy, their embarrassment over as· sociation with other .Japanese, their active non·identification with their group as well as lack of moral courage.
It is ironic that these Japa· nese h,ave become part of a ranking SOciety whlch, at one time, had persecuted them to all degrees of degradation and humiliation.

Mrs. Kajiwara was still able to rear her family of five chil· dren and to see most of them complete their college educa· tion.
Mrs. Kajiwara since the war had resettled in Chicago. I looked her up one day. She looked the same except for her greater air of opulence. She died about three years ago.
By 1927 the King County was buying up all the lands south of Georgetown power house with
its landmark twin stacks 280 and 243 feet high. About 35 farming famllies were being evicted in condemnation pro· ceedings and threatened the existence of Kolrugo School. Most of the farmers moved farther south and remained within the reach of the commu· nity. The rich farm soil and swamps and the last trace of the meandering river were being filled by dredging the Duwamish Waterway in 1928.
And just before the 1929 crash the addition to the Ko· kugo School was completed. Mrs. Kajlwara's husband Shigekichi, a restaurateur, joined the teaching staU to form a husband . wife team. School bus service extended coverage to Riverton area.
The new ball was the scene of Tenchosetsu festivity, New Year's and graduation rites, and discotheque dances for teenagers. South Park Dojo with instructors like Kalmon Kudo, Masataro Shibata, Ma· saichl Maniwa and Toru Araki from Seattle Dojo helped train young kids in the fine art of self defense.

The announcement was expected. On November 25 the presIdent had told Ills assem· bled advisers that America rrught be attacked as early as December I, "for the Japa· nese are notonous for making an attack without warnmg."
Had Roosevelt speculated on ., how and where the surprise at·
tack might be executed, he might have remembered an at· tack the British Mediterranean Fleet had made againSt Ta· ranto. Italy, Nov. 11 . 1940. for In that attack lay the clue to the Japanese strategy.
1940 had been a year of stnk· Ing successes for the AXIS. The Germans had driven the Brit· Ish from the European main· land ; the ItaiJans had con· quered BTltlsh Somabland and invaded Egypt.
By keeping most of their fleet wtact at Taranto and avoiding an open engagement in the Mediterranean, the Ital· lans posed a constant threat to
'wi' BTltish Malta and vital British ,., commulllcation lines. Unable
to provoke the Italian Fleet to open combat, Adm. Andrew B row n e Cunningham, com· mander in chIef of the Bntish naval forces in the Mediterra· nean , decided to attack the Italian ships at their base.
He began by accumulating lnIormalJon about Taranto and its defenses.
The finest harbor in llaly, Taranto lies near the south· ernmost tip of the llalian pen· Ul5ula, which like a vise en· circles the base and the Gulf of
.... Taranto. RInging the harbor to "T the west was a breakwater,
dam, and the islands of San Pietro and San Paolo. To the east IS the tO\\ n of Taranto then having 140,000 residents. '
Withm the harbor lay batOe· ships. cruisers, and destroyers shIelded by barrage balloons, anU·aircraft guns, and anti·tor· pedo nets. These anti· torpedo net s, however, had a nail' the Bntish were to eX1lloit: they extended down the sides of the battle hips only to the point of its maximum dralt.
CUDltingham had planes photograph Taranto and its de· renses and ny these photo·
;aPbS. to CaIrO where e~-perts ~subJected them to detailed
analysIs, plottmg the exact po· sition of each Italian slup. Cun· ningham also began an m· tensive training program for the proposed attack.
The fortunes o( war caused postponement and rendered meager the re ources avail· able (or tbe attack; never· theles.~. noon o( November J1 saw the British Fleet mo\~ng northeastward through the loman Sea some :!SO miles from Taranto. At dusk. tbe carrier mustnous, supported by four cnl1se~ paned from the mam neet and sped towards the takeoff pGSllJon ISO nules from Tar-1I1l0.
For d.iys the aIT ere\\ had
been studymg photographs of the target and discussing the proposed attack; the plan was firmly fixed in their mmds. Rear Adm. Lyster spoke words of encouragement to them. With a three·quarter moon ris· ing out of the calm sea, 12 planes lifted from the deck, carrying flares. torpedos, and bombs, and headed for the tar· get.
As the Bntish neared Ta· ranto, the Italians picked up the sound of the engines ; si· rens shneked. gun batteries opened fire. Nevertheless, the p I a n e s aSSIgned the task dropped flares to the east of the battleshIps, sJlhouettmg the ships and H1uminatmg the scene. A voiding the ban'age balloons, the torpedo planes dropped down through the glit· tering curtain of anti·aircraft fir e and deposited then' charges. Dive·bombers follow· ed.
The Bntish had secretly per· fected a mechanism that ex· ploded the torpedo magnetical. Iy as it passed under the keel of the shIp attacked. Tltis new type of torpedo, bemg used for the first time, passed under the inadequate Italian anti·torpedo nets.
In five minutes. torpedos badly damaged the battleship Littono and left the battleship Cavour sinking. Bomb failures robbed the bombers of great success, but they left the sea plane base burning.
Sixty miles to the south , a second wave of seven British planes approaching the target saw the ban'age of fire di· rected at the first wave. An·iv· ing over the harbor. two planes from this second wave dropped nares. Others launched tor· pedos, one of which blasted a hole in the bow of the Liltorio ; another tearing a hole amid· ships of Ule battleshIp Diulio, nooding both her forward magazines. Later a British ''<Imber arrived and dropped a bomb into the cruiser Trento, but like many of the other bombs that fell that night. this failed to explode.
When the results of the at· tack by this puny air force II' ere totalled. the world learned that, at a cost of two air craft and theu' crews. the British had eliminated more than half the Italian battle neel. The British had per· manently disabled the Cavour, put the LittoJ'io out of action for four months, the Dullio for SIX months. For the lime being, at least, the British Roy, al Navy had gamed undisputed control of the Mediterranean.
Military experts everywhere analyzed this British coup. U.S. Navy ec. Frank Knox sent Army Sec. Henry L. Stirn· son a memorandum con· cernmg It ·
"The success of the Bntish aenal torpedo attack against lhe ships at anchor suggests that precautionary measures be taken Immediately to pro· teet Pearl Harbor against a surprise attack in the event of war between the United States and Japan. The greatest dan· ger will come from the aerial torpedo ... "
Stimson heeded the wanuDg and ad\~sed the Hawaiian com· man d to strengthen Itself against poS! ible surprise all' attack. Just before Christmas l~n, ho\\e\,er, \dm. Husband E. KIIDmel. commander of the l' PaCIfic Fleet, replied, "Anti·torpedo nets at Pearl Harbor would reslnct boat
traffic by nalTowing the chan· nel."
Kimmel could not foresee that his deciSion agamst the use of anti·torpedo nets would play into the hands of his ene· my counterpart, Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto, commander in chief of the Combined Japa· nese Imperial Fleet.
Yamamoto's career had fit· ted him for the role he was to play against Kimmel. The Japanese had been baptized by fU'e at Tsushima Strait, ~Iay 27, 1905. when Adm. HelhaclllJ'o Togo had anlllhi· lated the Russian Fleet. and Yamamoto had been wounded in the nght leg and had lost two fingers of his left hand.
Though conscious of the glo· ry gained by Japan in defeat· ing her old enemy in Utis c1as· sic battle of the day when bat· Ueships were thE! decisive weapon of sea warfare, Yamamoto was too intelligent and mature to plan future strategy around the weaponS' of the past.
Early in I1Is career. Yamamoto had decided that air power was the decisive weapon of the future. As a navy commander and student at Har· vard in the years when World War I was drawing to a close, he had toured American air craft factories and studied ev· ery repOli on planes in action over the Western Front of Eu· rope.
In 1923, at 39, he had become a captain and executive officer of the new air training school at Kasumigaura . In 1930 he had become commander of the First Air Fleet.
On assuming command of the First Air Fleet, he had im· mediately intensified training. making such demands of his fliers that many were killed. To him, those killed in training were heroes the same as those killed in battle. To impress on his charges the respect they owed their fallen comrades, he had the living salute a list of those killed before taking of( on training missions ; for though he grieved at the death of the tramees, his grief caused no relaxation of tbe high standards he demanded of them.
Elevated to full admiral in mid·August 1939. he was ap· pointed commander in chief of the Combined Fleet. Two II eeks later. Germany precipi· tated World War II by invading Poland.
In America, Yamamoto had acquired respect for American industrial might and for the character of the American people. In a speech to his old Middle School in Nagaoka in 1940, he warned against under· rating America and added, "Japan cannot beat America, therefore she should not fight America."
Nevertheless, world events and the Japanese jingoists were steering Japan for a con· frontation with Amenca. It was his duty to prepare the neet for the conOict; his respect for American military might dictated the strategy he would employ.
ince Japan lacked the reo sources for a long war. the one hope of success was a quick victory over the American navy that would give Japan a free hand in Asia. The efforts of the Japanese Fleet should be directed to forcrng this ear· Iy, dectS1\'e naval ~ictory.
In April 1940. the Combined Fleet began maneu\-ers, gi\'1Og
special attention to alf attacks. Yamamoto's Oiers, with the m· creased skill they bad acquired through unremitting training, so successfully attacked the twisting, dodging warships that they theoretically ltalved the fleet strength.
Afterwards as the two paced the quarterdeck of the flagship Nagato, Adm. Sbigeru FuJ..'1I· dome. chief of staff, said to Yamamoto. "It's beginning to look as if there's no way a sur· face fleet can elude aerial tor· pedos. Is the time ripe for a decisive fleet engagement us· ing aenal torpedo attacks as the mam strlkmg power?"
There was a long pause; as Roosevelt had said. surpnse attacks were III the Japanese tradition. Perhaps Yamamoto was thinking of how the rever· ed Adm. Togo had opened war· fare with the Russialls at Port Althur, Feb. 8, 1904 - the Japanese torpedo boats sneak· Ing into the harbor under cover of darkness and launcbing their tOIlJedos at the unsus· pecting Russian ships.
FLDally Yamamoto replied, " An even more crushing blow could be struck by mass tor· pedo attack against an unsus· pecting enemy force ."
If he was thinking of Pearl Harbor, there was the tradi· tional objection: Pearl Harbor was supposed to be only 45 feet deep - considered too shallow for the successful use of aerial torpedos.
Then came the British attack on Taranto. In London the reo pOlis of this British victory were processed by a Japanese assistant naval air attache named Minoru Geoda.
Genda had served in China where his skill and daring as a fighter pilot had won his unit the nickname of the "Genda Circus." In 1937. as air opel" ations officer in the Shanghai area, he had introduced new methods of mass long·range operations by fighter aircraft.
The reports he submitted on Taranto yielded a significant piece of information: Taranto Harbor was 42 feet deep or less - more shallow than Pearl Harbor.
After studying Genda's reo ports, Yamamoto said to Fuku· dome, "An air attack on Pearl Harbor ntight be possible now, especially as our air training has turned out so successful· Iy ... "
Recalled to Japan and pro· moted to commander, Genda, the expert on Taranto, on request submitted a plan for an attack on Pearl Harbor. Be· fore even the most daring of Japanese naval leaders would consider the ptan practicable, there would be many problems to solve, but the scheme con· tinued to progress towards per· fection.
As relations with Amenca approached nearer and nearer a breaking pOint, Yamamoto gamed the consent of the Nav· aI General Staff for a Pearl Harbor attack only by threat· enlng to resign if they refused him. In the meantime he was solving the technical problems one by one and drilling his Oiers to greater and greater excellence. From the Japa· nese pomt of view, his prepara· tions must bave seemed to materialize only in the nick of time.
On Sept. '!T. 1939. Japan had taken the first step towards 10-tal estrangement from .-\mer· Ica by signing the Triparl1te

We believe that this National iiilRltllmllllllftll"I~AnQllllmRIIllnllRnll"MtIIII!mllIltlJIII------"'-__ •
This trend continued through the decade of the 1950s, with equality In immigration and naturalizallon opportunities not only for those of Japanese race in particular but for all Asians in general. and with Statehood for the long·deserv· ing TeTlitory of HawaiI.
The 1960s were a period of consolidating the gains of fifo teen years, while concentrating J ACL activities more into the general area of civil and racial rights, humanitarianism. and anti·povertyefforts.
More Positive Action In the past two years, a new
generation of Japanese Ameri· cans - and JACL members -have insisted on, demanded, and received more positive ac· tion m more varied fields than ever before. This has been par· ticularly true of the WaShing.
Pact with the Axis. On July 23, 1941, Japan occupied southern Indo·China; America retali· ated by freezing Japanese as· sets, and by preventing the shipment of oU and other es· sential materials to Japan.
Without these materials, es· pecially oil. Japan must per· ish; she mounted a diplomatic offensive to break the em· bargo. In acknowledgement of failure to conciliate America by diplomacy, Premier Fumi· maro Konoye resigned Oct. 16, 1941. Two days later, Lt. Gen. Hideki Tojo formed a new cab· inet, taking over portfolios of premier, war and home min· istries.
Though pessimistic about being able to sellle the dispute on terms acceptable to Japan, Tojo made a last attempt to break the deadlock through dI· plomacy. His envoys made no progress.
On November 27, after hand· ing a note to the Japanese en· voys that made demands he knew their government could not possibly grant. Sec. of State Cordell Hull told Stimson and Knox, "I have washed my hands of it, and it (the dis· agreement lI~th Japan) is now in the hands of you and Knox, the Army and the Navy."
The mam Japanese striking force had already sailed from Tankan Bay, in the KurUe Is· lands, where It had assembled. They were under orders to reo turn without attacking if they received word that diplomacy had broken the impasse be· tween Japan and America; no such word would reach them. On December 6 as Roosevelt read the deciphered Japanese diplomatic message indicating war, the Japanese attack force. only a few hundl'ed miles due north of Pearl Hal" bor, was approaching the tar· get at full speed.
In the morning, when the Ii· nal part of the deciphered Japanese note was brought to him, Roosevelt learned that the Japanese envoys were to deliver it to Hull - a blunt declaration of war - at one p.m. One p.m. Washington time is 7:30 a.m. Pearl Harbor time, the hour when tbe crews are ordinarily piped to break· fast and the ships are most de· fenseless - the ideal time for a surprise attack.
The lime seemed more than coinCidental. There was still time to alert Lt. Gen. Walter C. Short, commanding the Ha· wailan department, and Kim· mel, neither of whom knew about the decoded Japanese note. But there were delays.
It was 12:18 p.m., Washing· ton time, before Gen. George C. Marshall, chief of staff, dis· patched a cabtegram through RCA. Delivery of the cable· gram, sent through CIvilian channels, was delayed by the a t t a c k, for the Japanese struck at 7:55 a.m. They broke off the attack - after achiev· ing smashing success - short· ly before 10. The decoded cable reached Short at 2:58 p.m., he sent a copy to Kimmel.
The cable said the Japanese were presenting an ultimatum at 1:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time (7:30 a.m. in Honolulu). "Just what signilicance the hour set may have we do not know, but be on the alert ac· cordingly ... "
To Sbort and Kimmel who had lost the battle, their repu· tations, and their careers, the message must have seemed particularly ironic. The Japa· nese bad come, applied the lesson of Taranto, and varushed mto the Pacific. Copyrlcbt l!1'lO by 411 ... __
JACL CounCil, at this National Convention, must decide a number of basic concepts con· cerning the direction of the or· ganization. Once these are de· cided, the constant questions concerning financing and per· sonnel must then be answered.
Perhaps the most fundamen· tal policy question to be reo solved is whether the JACL should continue as a baSically Nisei organization, or wbetber it should seek to become a Nisei·Sansei organization.
Next, in these times when separatism is advocated by so many wbo feel that Integration cannot resolve the great racial issues of the day, It must be determined whether the JACL will return to its former closed membership-for·only·those of Japanese (01' Asian) ancestry limitation, or whether it will continue to welcome members of all races, colors, creeds, and national origins wbo agree with JACL's general objec· tives, as it has done since World War II days.
Organlzatlonal Poslttons Then, there is the question as
to whether the JACL should attempt to remain the moder· ate conservative, generally middle·of·the-road organization that attempts to cater to the majority of those of Japanese ancestry in this country, trying to be "all things to all people" of Japanese origin In the United States.
Or, whether JACL should transfer its concerns from being almost exclusively lor those of Japanese race in the United States to being an all· Asian·ancestry.oriented move· ment.
Or, whether JACL should try to become what some of its founders 40 years ago original· Iy envisioned - a strictIy fra· ternal, educational, and social associalJon of Nisei, catering to the middle class status sym· boIs and aspiratIOns.
Or, whether JACL should slillt mto a more social·actlOn type organization, featuring aid to the social needs of local Japanese American commu· nities.
Or, whether J ACL should seek to become a Japanese American political action in· stumentallty. concerned' main· Iy with the political challenges and consequences on a nation· ai , state, and local basis.
Scope of Objectives Once the concept of organi·
zation is agreed upon, the next series of questions have to do with general and specific ob· jectives. In these determlna· tions, as In those involvmg broad organizational policies, none are mutually inclusive oJ' exclusive; a combination or compromise of one or more propositions is completely Ie· gitimate, reasonable, and per· haps desirable and realistic.
Should J ACL generally reo strict its activities to such areas as those that involve principally those o( Japanese, or Asian, background in the United States. This would mean emphasis on developing Asian American and Japanese American studies, cultural cen· ters, history, culture, contribu· tions, etc.
H would also involve seeking the elimination of racial dis· crimination against those of Japanese (Asian) origin in the United States, such as In em· ployment, housing. education, social opportunities and frater· nal organizations, immigration and refugee policies and prac· tices, etc.
Or, should the JACL become a general civil rights organiza· lion, concentrating on civil rights and liberties, academic freedom, anti·poverty, environ· mental and ecological, urban blight, etc., efforts, with only mcidental reference and aLten· Hon to the problems of J apa· nese (Asian) Americans.
Or, should JACL attempt to develop into an international relations organization. This could mean that JACL would specialize in trying to promote goodwill, understanding, and mutually beneficial relahons with just Japan, or with the countries of the Far East or ASia, or even WIth all the na· tions of earth.
At a time when there is greater American cen· sciousness of the plight and problems of other peopl~ and nations, when more Americans are becoming concerned - for one reason or another - in reo lations with Asia, perhaps J ACL can perform its greatest national service m trying to help AmeTlca better and more realJstJcally to appreciate Ja· pan, the peoples and nations of the r ar East or of aU AsIa, or of lbe world at large. and to rid IIlIelf of its rac:IIt altitude
and outlook toward others, par· ticularly Asians.
On Trade Issues And, should this inter·
national direction be llmited to political, social, and cultural matters, or should it be ex· panded to Include trade and commercial issues, keeping In mind that especially with Ja· pan and other countries of the Far East and Asia these rela· tionships may be more crucial in the long range than military or diplomatic considerations.
Beyond these questions are others that should trOUble the National Council.
These Include such pragmat· ic ones as to whether the present and potential future membership of J ACL will support, finanCially and with vol· untary personal efforts, any or all, or a combination, of these concepts and projections.
Or, whether JACL's credi· bility and persuasive influence with the Administration, with the Congress, with state or 10' cal offiCials, etc., can be main· tained and continued with any or all, or a combination, of these programs. . These . are among the ques·
tions whIch we believe are per· tinent and relevant to this Na· tional Council meeting. We do not suggest that they are the only questions that need to be answered, however, for we mention them at this juncture only to provoke other and probably more critical questions.
Future Role o( Office Next, m all candor, we must
comment on the future role of the Washington J ACL Office.
In the past biennium, the Washington JACL part-time representative was called upon to serve JACL more than Jts part·time retamer justified. And, since in all probability the NatIOnal Council LD Chi· c~go lvill increase the responsl· bilitles and the commitments of the Washington Office, we feel very strongly that the Na· tional J ACL should consider I' e-establishing a full·time Was h i n g ton Office, fully stalfed, and funded adequately to not only accomplish its man· dated missions but also to be a credit upon the J ACL itsell.
Moreover, frankness com· pels us to again remind JACL that as it takes on greater reo sponsibilities and new com· nutrnents, it may not be pos· sible for the present Waslung· ton representative to 1!ffective· Iy and honestly represent both JACL and his other clients most of whom are involved i~ international trade relations.
The National JACL Execu· tive Comntittee proposed a compromise program this past summer, m which the Wash· ington representative would continue to serve JACL as reo sponsibly as he could but 1V0uld concentrate on a train· ing program for a qualified Nisei or Sansei, with the view that within two or four years such a trainee would be ready and able to assume the full· time responsibility for admin· istering a full·time Washington JACL Office.
PersonaJ Preference We have agreed to accept
such a proposal, if approved by tbe National Council and prop· erly funded, although we would prefer the creation of a full· time Washington JACL Office separate and away from the current Washington represent· ative's address.
On the other hand, if the Na· tional Council adopts policies and programs that may not be compatible with past projects of the Washington JACL Of· fice, IVe believe that it would be less likely to be misunder· stood by all concerned, In· cludmg members of the Ad· ministration and Congress, as lVell as past associates of JACL, if a completely new Washington JACL Office, at a new address and wllhout any supervision from or connection with the present Wasb!nglon representative, were ~tabIished.
Such a break-olf would in· dicate that J ACL is embarked on new and dlIIerent objec· lI"es, under changed JACL leadership, and WIthout the continued representation of its current Washington represent· ative.
have much to do with the Washington JACL Office, came under the personal 10' pervislon of Nattonal JACL Second Vice President (for Public Affairs) Kaz Horita of PhUadelphia.
New York attorneys Thomar Hayashi and Murray Spruill were co-chairmen of the Legll Committee, Dr. Mary Wata· nabe or Philadelphia was the chairman or the International Affairs Committee, and Harry Takagi of Washington was the chairman or the Public Rela· tions Committee.
Because of the activities of Vice President Horita and the s e chairmen and cnm· mittees, and that of National Legal Counsel Marutanl. as well as of the special Ad Hoc Committees created by Nation· al President Enomoto. such as those dealing with the repe~1 or Title II of the Internal Security Act or 1950 (Ray Okamura, Edison Uno, and Paul Yam· amoto of the San Francisco Bay area), with the defeat of repressive legislation (Hiroshi Kanno of Chicago), and with Ethnic Concern (Dr. David Miura of Long Beach), the workload of the Washington JACL Office was considerably reduced.
Nevertheless, the perform· ance of the Washington Offire suggests that there was too much work for a part·lIme representative and that much more could have been accom· plished bad there been a fully· staffed and funded Washington Office. During the early 1950~, for instance, when equality in naturaJization was the sinl!le most imponant legislation for JACL, there were five on ti'~ staff itseU, supported by three secretaries.
Congressional ActlvttJ!'5 W hen the last National
J ACL Convenhon adlournd in mid·August 1968, tbe Second Session of the 90th Congress was still in business. Wben thiS National Convention adJOurns, the prsent Second Session of the 91st Congress will still be in session.
The 91st Congress was one of the few In this century ID wbich an incoming Chief Exec· utive was not of the same poht. ical party as the new Congress, for the 1965 national elections resulted in Republican Richar1 Nixon winning the Presidencv and in the Democrats retamJII ~ con t r 0 I of the LegJSlatr e Branch.
This 91st Congress thus f.r has achieved a number or leg· islative triumphs of notewor1. appeal to JACL. These III· clude:
(a) A congressIOnal chal· lenge, mostly in the Senate. of the so-called war powers of the President, and particularly III connection with the continuin~ war In Vietnam and the recent incursion against enemy sanc· tuaries in Cambodia,
(b) A legislative effort (a, against a constitutional amen':· ment) to reduce the voting al:r to 18 for all national, state, and local elections,
(c) A far·reaching wellarr reform passed by the HIIUSf' and pending in the Senate that would replace relief checks "~th a kind of minimum guar· anteed annual income.

Masaoka Report From Previous Page
Even II repeal Is nol ae-. c:ompUsbed al tbls time, tbe "grass roots" campaign was a useful exercise In poUticaI actlvity and a demoostratlon that tbe JACL stU! cao be a potent poUlieal force In the natlDn If It so decrees. In Congress, although Con·
gJ'e5sman Charles Gubser o( Calliornia introduced his reo peal bill on January 3, 1969, the frrst day of the First Session as a consequence o( his attendance at the San Jose Convention, Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawail oUiciaUy introduced the JACL version in the Senate on April 18, 1969, and Congressm e n Spark Matsunaga of Hawaii and Chet Holifield of Calliornia in the House on June 3, 1969_
Bipartisan Support A bipartisan coalition of
more than 20 Senators joined In co·sponsoring S. 1872, while more than 130 Democrats and Republicans joined in co·sponsOring H.R. 11825 and similar bills.
On December 22, 1969, the Senate Judiciary Committee reported S. 1872 with amendments that would retain the congressional findings with respect to the nature of the Communist Party, while eliminating the SUbstantive authorIzation for emergency detention of Title rr o( the 1950 Internal Security Act. That same day (December 22) , the Senate un animously passed the amended S. 1872.
This spring (March and April), tbe House Internal Security Committee held public b e a r i n g s on MatsunagaHollfield bills to repeal Tille n, but these hearings have not been concluded pending the testimony of the Department of Justice.
On March 24, 1970, the JACL testimony was presented by a six member panel: National President JelTY Enomoto, Ray Okamura and Edison Uno of the National Ad Hoc Com· millee, Ross Harano o( the Midwest Ad Hoc Subcommittee (Chicago) , attorney Robert Takasugi o( the Southern California Ad Hoc Subcommittee (Los Angeles), and Washington Representative Mike Masaoka.
Justice Dept.'s Stand Although Richard Klein
dienst, Deputy Attorney General , had written to Chairman Richard Iehord of the House Internal Security Committee on December 2, 1969, recommending the repeal of Title II on behalf of the Nixon Administration in general and of the Justice Department in partIcular, the House CommIttee insists that a high-ranking departmental offi cial testify concernmg Its official endorsement o( the MatsunagaHohlield bill . To the date of this report, no time has been scheduled for this Justice Department testimony, although hopefully it wiU be in the near future .
Whlle the public testimony has been preponderantly for repeal , the Chairman has shown a reluctance thus fa r to permit his Comnuttee from reporting the bill and allowing the House to debate and vote on the legislation. Congressman Matsunaga and the Washington Representative have discussed possible strategies to cope \\~ th the situation.
A major worry is that the CommIttee itself, the House, or \be Senate-House conference to reconcile differences, i( any in the Senate-House conference to versions, may add some rep re s s i v e proviSions as an amendment to the repealer. If such repressive amendments are added, J ACL is already on record as opposing not only the amendments but the amended bllJ itself.
Inasmuch as It now appears that the Congress WIll remain in seSSIOn until the nelet term (91nd Congress) convenes nex-t January (1971) , with only a short recess (or the November elections, there seems to be enough time left thIS year to secure some fmal decision on this repeal measure, at least for this congressional term.
Voting Rights Act The Voting Rights Act of 1970
'''is signed into Public Law 91-2S5, on June 22, 1970. Its major prolisions would (I) lower the voting age (or all CItizens to IS years for aU national, state, and local elections, (2) extend the votmg Rights Act o( 1965 fIVe more years to 1875, (3) elinunate aU \'Cter literacy tests, and (4) set a uniform residency requirement of 30 days in all voting for national offices (presidency and members of Congress).

Deep South states. The Senate rewrote the
measure, and under the leadership of Majority Leader MIke Mans(ield the 18·year-old minimum was included. President Nixon, in signing the bill into law, again raised constitutional doubts about the power of the Congress to legislate in this field and repeating his caU for a constitutional amendment to lower the voting age. Already, action has been initiated that will test this Issue before the Supreme Court of the United States early in the faU or winter.
JACL was active in urging the reduction of the minimum age largely because it believes that those who must live certain laws and should have a part in mining their own future. believes that by giving the right to participate in own government, youth be able to work within "system" and the lishment" to achieve suits they desire in ;~ ...

IC CITIZEN
MASAOKA REPORT From Previous Page than 125 national organizations representing almost every cross·section of American soci· ety, in seeking more mean· ingful, humane, and liberal legislation in the areas of edu· cation, housing, anti·poverty efforts, ecology programs, mi· nOrity problems, cultural activo ities, etc.
The Washington J ACL Office also continued to cooperate with the National Civil Liberties Clearing House and the American Immigration and Citizenship Conference.
Office Potential A fuUy staffed Washington
JACL Office could become more directly and intimately involved in many more problems that affect not only the quality of life for Japanese Americans but also for all other citizens, especially in this day when the question of na· tional priorities is being argued in the Congress.
There are perhaps several hundred different bills directly affecting civil rights that were introduced in the past biennium. Many were more than 25 pages in length, highly technical and legalistic, and some in· c1uding such dangerous con· cepts as "preventive detention," Hno knock, H wiretapping, registration and regimentation concepts that are repug· nant to J ACL and to free peoples. There are also hundreds of immigration bills introduced, some with provisions that would indicate an effort to return to the now discredited "national origins system" and the double racism of the "Asia PaCific Triangle." Conversely, there are many other bills that would promote ethnic and cui· tural programs, or could be arne n d e d to effect such changes.
In addition, there are bills relating to the draft (Selective Service) . to the war in Southeast Asia, to foreign aid, to disarmament, to trade, etc. Many of these are of concern to youth and to J ACL members, but because of J ACL's rather limited mandates in this area are not considered part and parcel of the responsibilities of the Washington Office.
Over and beyond all this, there are constructive legislative ideas and projects that could be drafted and in· traduced as positive JACL bills for a better Iile and world.
But a part·time retained representative, using on a parttime basis the facilities of his own limited enterprise, can hardly be expected to keep up with all that JACL should do and know about Congress. Indeed, simply keeping track of, and analyzing, all the thou· sands of bills that are introduced that may have some impact on Japanese Ameri· cans alone would require more than a single (ull-time attor· ney.
This is a time when the na· tion, and the government, are undergoing serious examination and making historic de· cisions that may alter tbe course of the country and of the world for decades to come.
With space offering new challenges, with the threat of a nuclear holocaust hanging over mankind, with the environment defying civilization, etc., any nat ion a I organization that claims responsible leadership needs not part·time Washing· ton representation, but fulltime, adequately staffed and fi· nanced Washington Offices.
In the nation's capital, where the fateful decisions are made, JACL can ill afford to continue its present part·time activities.
• • • Supreme Court DecisIons
In this biennium, the era of the activist Warren Court end· ed and that of the strict con· structionist Burger Court began.
For the past 15 years to the beginning of the 1961J·70 term, the Supreme Court of the United States under Chief Justice Earl Warren has taken an active and positive role in demonstrating time and time again that the Federal Con· stitution is a living document designed to protect citizens against new, as well as an· cient, restraints on their Iiber· ties and their rights.
In spite of continuing criti· cism particularly from the right, including a national ef· fort by the John Bircb Society to impeach the Chief Justice, the nation's court of last resort accepted the leadership mantle in civil and human nghts at a lime when both the Executive and Legislative Branches reo mained silent and inactive.
BeglRning with its historic deciSIOn that the "separate but equal'· doctrme did not justify racial discrirrunation in the public schools, the highest trio bunal in the land has brought a bout the near Integration of most public facilities; bas ~eo greater and more mean-
ingful representation in the elective process to the cities and urban areas and to the poor and the IIlInorilies by promulgating the "one man, one vote" rule: has interpreted and applied the provisions of law to eliminate indirect, as well as direct, barriers to the use of the franchise by all citizens in all sections of the country, and particularly In the South of the Old Confederacy where subtle and not·so·subtle procedures had been developed over a cen· tury to deprive the blacks of their votes; and has destroyed the sanctioned distinction in law of the rich and the poor for justice and equity.
Because of the decade and a half of the Warren court, Americans now enjoy a degree of constitutionally guaranteed freedom, dignity, and oppor· tunity without parallel in our history.
Burger Court And, because 01 the depar·
ture of liberals Chief Justice Earl Warren and Associate Justice Abe Fortas, and their replacement by moderates Chief Justice Warren Burger and Associate Justice Harry Blackrnunn, it is expected that the activist majority has now been displaced by a more can· servative majority.
The first term of the new Burger Court (1969·70), according to many observers of the Washington scene, was marked more by what it failed to de· cide than in what it actually decided.
A partial explanation for this may be in the fact for all prac· tical purposes, because of the controversial rejections of the Haynsworth and Carswell nominations, there were only eight justices sitting most of the term on the nine member bench. Justice Blackrnunn was not sworn in to take the seat of the resigned Justice Fortas unW the last week in June and he did not participate in any of the opinions banded down in the last term.
Since m many controversial cases there might be four·to· four ties, it has been said that the new Chief Justice wanted to avoid such consequences. Accordingly, some 18 "touchy" cases were held over until the next term, which begins October 1970 through June 1971.
Perhaps even more significanlly, there appears to be a trend toward what was de· scribed as '"judicial restraint" by then presidential candidate Richard Nixon in the Novem· ber 1968 campaigns, as well as a tendency toward ·'Iaw and order" rulings. "Judicial reo straint" refers to the policy of trying to dispose of cases on the narrowest possible groundS and to avoid the constitutional issue whenever feasible in an effort to protect the Court from overreaching itself.
The first term of the Burger Court disposed of an unusual number of volatile issues on such grounds as mootness, lack of standing of the Iiti· g ant s , incomplete trial records, and untimeliness.
During Chief Justice Warren's last term which ended a year ago last June, the Court heard and decided 26 appeals that were listed under the heading "ciminal law and procedure" in the legal period· ical known as the United States Law Week. The prosecution won eight of these cases.
During the term just ended (June 1970), there were 29 "criminal law and procedure" appeals, with the prosecution winning 18. Important too, almost all of the criminal cases last term concerned the can· duct of trials, rather than ef· forts to control the police through procedural safeguards for the accused.
The overall effect of these new philosophies has been to muffle the·· impact of the Suo preme Court rulings on institutions outside the judiciary. It has also played·down the kind of strong, unequivocal decisions that demand changes in the way things are done out· side the judicial system.
At the same time, as in the ruling that unruly defendants could be gagged or expelled from court, the top appellate recourse moved to reaffirm the judiciary's supremacy over litigants. Perhaps the thesis that controls the new Chief Justice's legal thinking may be explained in a comment which he made to the effect that he received his direction direcUy from the Constitution, not judge·made law. "I will DOt join in employing recent cases rather than the Constitution."
Importaal .. JACL Probably the four most im
portant cases to JACL of the last Warren Court involved:

The more important judg· ments of the new Burger Court that adjourned last month had to do with the Selec· tive Service System and with school desegregation speed. The Court repeatedly inter· vened in the so-called draft system last term, striking down its delinquency regu· lations, liberalizing its rules for conscientious objectors be· yond religious grounds, broad· ening the standing of draft reg· istrants to challenge the sys· tern through litigation, and generally demonstrating a jaundiced appraisal of the sys· tern by which men are can· scripted to fight in Vietnam.
The Court also took strong action in demanding com· pliance "now" with its 1954 school desegregation decisions. Whether next term it will con· tinue to press aggressively for i n t e g rat ion now that the "easy" problem of dual school systems is giving way to the thornier one of bussing is for the future to disclose.
The "reformer" role of the Warren Court now seems to have been superl-eded by the "stand pat if possible" attitude of the new Burger Court.
In a sense, the purpose of these evaluations is to reveal some of the underlying reasons behind the successful efforts to frustrate the confirmations to the Supreme Court of Judges Haynsworth and Carswell, especially the latter.
At the same time. the JACL could play a more active and decisive role in this most sig· nificant area if its National Legal Counsel were provided the staff and the funds to directly intervene as a friend of the court in selected cases or file "amicus" briefs whenever appropriate.
At the same time, the WuJa. Ington J ACL Office cooperlltll with the Civil Service ColIIDIJI, sian in trying to make certaIII that qualified Japanese A.Jnt!rjO can s secure appolnt_ when available, are promoted without discrimination, are not by· passed in employment or promotion for any civll &eI'9iIlI position. and are not summarily and unfairly dismillell from government service.
immigration Celebrla. Furthermore, Presldent
Richard Nixon personally participated in the Japanese Immigration Centennial (I.). He sent a message of greetiDgI to the dedication of the Wabmatsu Tea and Silk Colony lut June (1969) in Coloma, Gold Hill, California, halling the hundred years' contributions of those of Japanese ancestry to the development of the United States and he personally received in unprecedented ceremonies at the White House last Nove m be r (1969), together with Prime Minister Elsaka Sato of Japan, a gold medallion commemorating the Cen· tennial of Japanese Immigra· tion to the United ~tates and the establishment of the first Japanese colony on the conU· nental mainland near Sacramento, as well as a specially leather bound first copy of Bill Hosokawa's popularly written documentary, "Nisei: The Quiet Americans: The Story of a People."

THE PACIFIC CITIZEN
Arbllsas WeebDd Trlhate. etc.-Last November, we par· ticipated with the First Min· ister of the Japanese Embassy and the Chicago NiseI Ameri· can Legion Post in a weekend observance of Japanese Amer· ican JIIemorial Days in Ar· kansas. As a tribute to the Japanese Americans who vol· unteered from the Jerome and Rohwer WRA centers to

in the 442nd Regimental bat Team and in military telJlgence in the Pacific. Governor of the State of kansas issued a public mation setting aside weekend in November for lic homage.
The Lieutenant Governor, Congressional Medal of winner in World War sided over the ties, which received and international Lewis Johnson, Jr., of the Green Thumb was responsible for the arrangements, which maxed by memorial and the rededication of monuments in the former wer WRA cemetery, one to Nisei volunteers who died the service of their and the other to the ev:lcueel.t residents who died while camp. Incidentally, the kansas Legislature has this cemetery plot as a cal site, the first of caUed America's tion Camps to be so .
From the public viewpoint, the public CaJnDlII"" I,. to secure tbe repeal of Title of the Internal Security Act 1950 has resulted in generation of coming aware that War IT Americans of J origin were evacuated, cated, and resettled in one the great human tragedies American civil rights history.
Hate FIlms The Washington JACL
too partiCipated in the paign devised by the JACL Public mittee to remind the stations of the nation that should not fUm hate movies of World War IT which impugned the loyalty and allegiance of Americans of Japanese an· cestry to the land of their citi· zenship.
Since the camp.aign was first undertaken about a decade ago, the film directors of the . television stations contacted have probably changed and several hundred more new TV stations bave been certified for operation, so a campaign of reo education was vital.
At a time when nese Americans are fnra.ttin,.I:iI their grim and bitter racial minority in this it is essential that the public large not be mislead into believing that in World War II their parents and other were disloyal to the States and committed acts of treason, espionage, and sabotage against their own ment. IT it is prejudice and racism directed against the Japanese "Yellow Peril" may. again become a pastime for those who profit from such hu· . man exploitation.
P.R. Plusses - Three other · eve n t S are particularly noteworthy in this biennial re- . port since they illustrate recog· nition of Japanese Americans.
One, involves United States Sen a tor Daniel Inouye of ' Hawaii. He was named key·, note speaker and the l~rrmOl'a·,." ry chairman of the n.mn';rotiol!l
National Convention held in Chicago in mid·summer 1968. A member of the JACL, tor Inouye not only aell.vereo I,ll an inspiring and eloquent sage to a world·\vide television audience but he also conducted himself admirably at that tu· multous and history·making af· fair. Now a leading candidate ' to be the Democratic "UI"UI~~I ,!I for Vice President in 1972, Sen· ator Inouye is currently the ' Chairman of the Democratic' Senatorial Campaign Com· mittee.

THE PACIFIC CITIZEN
Satow Report From Seetlon A-I mit tee headed by James Murakami and composed of George Oki, Henry Taketa. Akiji Yoshimura, Hike Yego, Tom Fujimoto, John Michael, Bill Matsumoto, Jerry Enomoto, Dr. Kengo Terashita, George Baba, John Hassler, Mrs. E. Sayre, Mary Tsukamoto, Tak Tsujita, Ellen Kubo and Messrs. S. Nakatani and M. Yamasaki. Members of this Committee gave many hours in planning and carrying out this project The District Council Chapters responded most generously and financially oversubscribed by $3.000, the original budget of $13,000.
Climax of the Wakamatsu Centennial was the dedication of the Wakamatsu Monument featuring the special marker presented by the State of California in recognition of the coming of the Colony as a historic event and attended by Gov. Reagan. A Wakamatsu Centennial Banquet followed this dedication with Bill Hosokawa as malO speaker. Special credit to Ed Kado of Sacramento who designed the Monument and the surrounding paI'k area.
Through the generosity of the Bank of Tokyo and Sumitomo Bank, an attractive brochure on the Wakamatsu Colony was produced and distributed to mosl of those who made financial contributions. Currently these brochures are being given to local libraries through the Chapters as long as they are available.
CentennJal Coins In connection with the Waka
matsu Centennial, 10,000 commemorative coins were minted. While most of these were sold to individuals, a good number were turned over to National JACL for distribution to 80 year and over Issei through the Chapters, many of which conducted special banquets to honor their Issei pioneers.
Headquarters provided a coin holder with an insert pr inte d in Japanese expressing appreciation to the Issei.
A total of 2,727 bronze commemorative coins were distributed through 71 Chapters, 199 of them direct to the
recipients. Our thanks to Dr. Roy Nishikawa assisted by Mrs. Mitsu Sonoda who coordinated locating these elderly issei.
One hundred silver coins were minted for distribution to officials who participated in the Monument dedication and W a k a m a I s u banquet programs. Among California State Officials, State Assemblyman Eugene Chappie and U.S. Congressman Harold T. Johnson were exceptionally helpful.
Two gold coins were minted by special federal permisSion and presented by Jerry Enomoto to Pres. Richard Nixon and Japan Prime Minister Eisaku Sato in a special ceremony in Washington on Nov. 19, 1969, arranged by Mike Masaoka.
In addition to the National distribution of Centennial coins to the 80 and over Issei, upon the request of Chapters desiring to honor their under 80 Issei, the Centennial coins were made available to them at cost price. Twenty-nine Chapters participated In this program to honor 1,116 additional Issei.
Due to the painstaking local research required, the contemplated program of a Congressional tribute to the Issei pioneers whereby Chapters were to submit local material to their respective (;(lngressmen for Inclusion in the (;(Ingressional Record did not materialize. It is planned to carry out this program in 1972 in connection with the 22nd Biennial National (;(Invention in Washington, D.C. Harry Honda is in process of completing gathering the records from the Chapters and editing them.
ONE THOUSAND CLUB -We are deeply indebted to those JACLers who express their concern and e~tra supPOit to J ACL through their voluntary contributions as 1000 Clubbers. The peak of 1000 Club membership was attained at the 1968 (;(Invention through the promotional efforts of National 1000 Club Chairman Dr. Frank Sakamoto.
As the end of June, 1,992 are CWTeJltly active, many of them over a span of years. Since 1947 when the 1000 Club was instituted, a total of 3,985 individ-
Masaoka Report
uw have joined the 1000 Club at one time or another.
At the 1969 Convention, the National (;(IuncU granted a sum of $2,500 to provide some klnd or distinctive emblem and recognition to 1000 Club members. After considerable exploration of a number of ideas, some of which proved too costly, we have come up with a 1000 Club key chain which we are now distributing to 1000 Clubbers as they renew their support, and catching up with those who have renewed earlier this year.
Cbarter FUgbt to Japan Dr. Frank Sakamoto has
come up with the project of the National 1000 Club Charter Tour to Japan in the fall of 1971 to be climaxed with a Universal Whing Ding in Tokyo. This project presents a number of problems which we hope to work out at the coming (;(Invention with all District 1000 Club Chairmen.
There should be a change in the nomenclature to distinguish between the two categories of Life Membership to avoid confusion, i.e. (1) lump sum payment of $500 and (2) Accumulated annual contributions for 20 years.
Wbile the suggestion has been forwarded to place 1000 Club membership on a calendar year hasis, it Is our feeling that such a ch.ange would raise more problems and Increase rather than decrease the administrative paper work.
CIVIL RIGHTS COORDINATOR - Following the 1968 (;(Invention when the National Council included in the National budget provisions for a N ational Civil Rights Staff (;(lordinator, we set about finding a qualified person to take this position. A number of applications were received, but none of these had the breadth of experience deemed necessary.
Finally, it was decided to engage Raymond Uno of Salt Lake City since he had volunteered his services on a part time hasis. He began on Feb. 1, 1969, assembling resource material, disseminating information through the Pacific Citizen, and visiting many Chapters and participating in many District (;(Iuncil meetings, to stimulate local involvement in civil rights. His jnjtial contract for six months was extended another six months to Feb. 1, 1970. He ac-

'FOX' CODtept As Uno worked on this as
signment, it became apparent to him as well as to members of the National Board that It was askJng too much of one Individual to adequately and effectively cover the entire national scene, and especially on a part time basis.
Accordingly, the original idea of one National Civil Rights Staff Coordinator was revised upon his suggestion to the FOX concept, i.e. Field Operations Expediter, at the District level who would ferret out and work on relevant issues in a community and hopefully relate chapters and individual JACLers to them.
In October of 1969 Warren Furutaoi was brought on the staH as the first FOX to work in the Pacific Southwest area under the supervision of Associate National Director Jeffray MatsUi. While the original idea was to confine him to only the PSWDC area, his effectiveness and associations brought requests for him to counsel in other areas.
A meeting was held early this year in the Pacific Northwest to engage a FOX in lbat .area, but as yet this has not been realized.
In Northern California, five young people proposed that they work as a FOX team, each giving part time. After consultation with the Executive (;(lmmittee and making necessary adjustments and allowances, Kaz Maniwa, Shoshana Arai, Glenn Watanabe, Dennis Yotsuya and Arty Kameda, were employed as a team in April of this year. While keeping in mind the original function of operating in the civil rights field, the Foxes !lave started at the level of meeting relevant community needs.
For the next biennium it is contemplated that this FOX PROGRAM will be extended to other Districts with a definite budget proposal to cover.
YOUTH PROGRAM - At the outset it should be clarified that our National Youth program consists of not only the Jr. JACL program, but includes the Scholarship program, Student Aid and National Oratorical & Essay (;(Intests.
and for the Testimonial that, though undeserved, is most welcome to us as an expression of the esteem and affection which we all share for the other.
Actually, this Testimonial we recognize as a kind of general salute to all of us in J ACL who for the past 40 and more years bave worked together to accomplish what we have, even though some today may question their value.
To them, we can only reply that because of J ACL in the past they today are able to act as they do, speak as they do, plan as they do. So, they cannot discount and discredit JACL's record if they are fair and reasonable. In any event, we sincerely appreciate the TestimOnial, for the older we grow, the more we understand the meaning and worth of true friends and co-workers in the common cause.

!lie third year of the Sumitomo Bank of California two Freshmen ~nd two Collegiate Scholarships amounting to $2,000 per year.
Scholarship Fund For the fourth successive
year, the Reader's )igest Association has contributed $1,000 to our Scholarship Fund as a result of Reader's Digest Ass<r cia I ion Board of Director Jam e s Michener naming JACL as a designated charity.
National Scholarship Foundation Chairman Buddy Iwata and family donated $1,145 to the Fund from "koden" in memorY of his mother.
Other contributions received were $100 from the family of Magataro Hirose of San Francisco in his memorY; $100 -Mrs. Belen Mitarai, Elberta Utah, in memorY of husband Henry; $100 from Mr. Yoshlo Watanabe, Los Angeles, in memory of Mrs. Watanabe ; and $50 from Mr. J. Nakatani of San Francisco.
Publicizing the scholarship program, working up the appli· cation forms and material (or the chapters, and coUecting the applications and putting them in form for the Judging Com· mittee are the responsibility of our National Youth staU, which was done by Alan Kumamoto last year and Ron Wakabayashi this year.
Fresbmen Scholarships 10 1969, there were 53 appli
cants for the Freshmen Scholarships and this year 43. Upon recommendation of the Scholarship Foundation Committee and previous judging com· mittees we made up a special certificate to send to all par· ticipants. This year because of Ule great interest in the evacuation shown by the Sansei, we are sending aU applicants a copy of Mine Okubo's Citizen 13660.
The applications for this year's Freshmen Scholarships are in the hands of the Judg· ing Committee headed by Jun Oniki of the Mt. Olympus Chapter, as designated by the Intermountain District Council. Last year Rupert Hachiya of Salt Lake assumed this respon· sibility.
All members of the Screen· ing Committee and final Judg· es are sent personalized copies of the Japanese American Creed. This is the seventh biennium since the jud~ng was r<r tated among the Districts. We trust the Central California District will t:ake this assignment this next biennium to complete the cycle.
Scholarship Foundation The National Scholarship
Foundation Committee held its first meeting last year to consider the entire scholarship program and make certain recommendations. Among the recommendations was to prtnt up and distribute a leaflet with a rundown on the present scholarships with a pitch for contrtbutions to the Foundation, but Ulis is still in the offing.
Named by President Jerry Enomoto to the Scholarship Foundation Committee are Buddy Iwata (Livingston) as Chairman, Dr. Albert Oyama (Portland) and Henry Yamaga (Selanoco) - all for six year t e r m s; F red Rirasuna ( F res no) and Dr. George Takahashi (Sacramento) for four year terms; Dr. Tom Tamaki (Philadelphia) and Tom Masuda (Chicago for two year terms.
Our efforts through the years have been to increase the num· ber of scholarships in view of the many applications from top notch students, between 40·60 per year. The total scholar· ships now available in our program are 19 for $6,350. The amount in the National Scholarship Fund began basically with contrtbutions earmarked for this purpose, to which we have been adding some interest earned from the Reserve and interest accruing from placing current National funds in short term savings.
The injection of the Student Aid program for "needy" J a pan e s e American youth may require some rethinking and adjustment in relation to the regular scholarship pro-gram.
SUMMER FELLOWSHIPS TO JAPAN - During this biennium Japan Air Lines gen· erously continued the Summer FeUowships to Jap:"1 program for the third and fourth years. Because of Ule fine work done on this Ule previous biennium by Akiji Yoshimura and his Committee, we have foliowed Ule same format in adminis· tering the program.
In 1969 the recipients of the Fellowships were Nancy Moto-mura, Seattle; Sally Nakai, Chicago; Reiko Nakawatase; Seabrook; and IIfichiye Venokida, Stockton. Judges were Maki Icltiyasu, National YWCA Staff; Baruo Ishimaru, JACL Cultural Berit:ge Committee Chairman; National Treasurer

Successful candJdates this year are Wayne Maeda, Sacramen to; George Takei, Los An· geles; Min Yasui, Denver; and Bar bar a Yoshida, S..attJe. Those who served as Judges were Tosbi Koba, Assistant Director, Booker T.

Our appreciation to David Grieve, Public Relations Manager of Japan Air Lines Western Regional Office with whom we have worked c105eiy on this project. We are sorry to see Mr. Tomoiclti Tsuge who has been so helpful on this progl'3lll and represented JAL each year as a judge leaves us for Ule J AL Tokyo Office and greater responsibilities. The cost of this program to Japan Air Lines is in excess of $6,000 per year.
PR BROCHURE - The in· itial order of 25,000 J AOL put>Iic relations brochures printed up in 1967 was exhausted this biennium, so upon the recommendation of the National Put>Iic Relations Committee, an additional 10,000 copies were printed. These have been sent to chapters upon request at no cost for distlibution to their new members who signed up since Ule original distribution of the brochure through the PC mailing list.
Also recommended by the National PR Committee and foliowed up was that this brochure be sent to every member of the United States Congress in early 1969 with individually typed covering letter, the content of which was determined by wheUler there was a JACL C hap t e r and/or Japanese Americans In the Congressman's jurisdiction. The mail· ing was sent out again in early 1970 to the newly elected members of Congress.
The public Relations Committee is recommending that the brochure be again updated . A suggestion from another source is Ulat the brochure be rewritten completely to ap· peal to young adults.
ETHNIC STUDIES - Two requests for funding ethnic studies were received during this biennium for which National J ACL funds were appro· priated.
G rea t e r Pasadena Area Chapter Project - This new Chapter was setting up a course on Asian studies at Pasadena City College. As a matter of fact we understand that the Chapter was activated for this specific purpose. 10 addition to setting up the course, there would be involved materials outlining the course and its contents for use at other schools, the prepaJ13tion of material on Japanese Americans from the coUege level down to sec 0 n dar y and grammar grades for general use, and provisions for an up to date library of books on Japanese Americans.
The amount of $2,050 was appropriated for the above project by the Executive Com· mittee in the fall of 1969. Recently $200 was added for 2,000 copies of the "Sun Beam," a leaflet prepared by this group on Japanese Americans for distrtbution to teach· ers.
San Mateo Curriculum Proj· ect - The San Mateo Curriculum Project under the direction of Mrs. Florence Yoshlwara of the San Mateo School District brought ' together a number of Nisei school teachers to gather and prepare rna· terials on Japanese Americans, primarily for use in the grammar grades, to meet the growing demand for such material from school dlstrtcts and teachers. The group has pr<r duced a book, "Japanese Americans - The Untold Sto· ry" which has been accepted and published by HOit, Rinehart & Winston, for use in the fifth grade.
Four thousand doUars was granted for this, $2,500 out of current funds and $1,500 from the Reserve. J ACL is also on record to assist in getting this book adopted by Ule California School Board as well as obtain the widest possible distrtbution of the book.
JACL Brochure 1 n vie w of increasing
requests for ready matertal on Japanese Americans from students, teachers, school dis· trtcts, and writers, the minimum is a brochure on Japanese Americans similar in size and format to our JACL public relations brochure. We would bope to cover the initial outlay 01 funds by selllng copies at a nominal price.

'Color Me for Real,' say Asians Sod., Street, Gypsies,
From Section A·I no chOice but to back Tonto and Kalo."
Phil Hayasaka, the tall arti· culate Nisei who heads the Seattle Human Rights Commission, points out one of the more insidious aspects of Ori· ental stereotypism:
"1 often get calls from people who ask specifically for a Japanese worker," he said, seated behind his cluttered desk on Ule third floor of the MUnicipal Building. "They know Japanese to be good workers. But let me give you an example of how this type of thinking has hurt the Japanese and the other Oriental minorIties.
'UDcomplalnlng Worker' ''There was thls Japanese
post office worker. Like many others of his race, he came to work early and stayed late. But when it came time for pto· motion, he was repeatedly passed over by the supervisor. The reason? Tbe supervisor didn't want to lose such a faith· f u I, uncomplaining worker. And the final irony is that the man was so grateful just to have Ule job, just for the privilege of working, that he never once complained."
Becoming Jess submissive and more vocal daily, the "New Wave" Asian-Americans no longer hesitate to take on anyone who cannot see them as people with real personalities. Joseph T. (Doctor Joe) Okimoto wrote recently in an issue of the Asian Coalition for Equality (ACE) newsletter:
"Characteristics such as industrtous, polite, weU-behaved, friendly, docile, etc. have evolved out of a century of racism against the yellow man in a society which regarded him as inferior. These stereotypes, therefore, are associated wlUl a position of inferiority imposed upon the Oriental by a racist society and are continuaUy used by the society to keep the Oriental in his inferi· or place."
ACE Pickets NVC ACE, under Ule leadership of
its chairman, the Rev. lIlineo Katagiri, and men like the Rev. Lincoln Eng, is a small but aggressive group of Asian· Americans. Long rankled by the failure of some private clubs and fraternal organizations to admIt non-whites to their membership, ACE decided to picket one club hall last March. Their target was not the club. It was Ule Nisei Veterans Committee - Ule Nortllwest's largest Nisei group - which was holding a banquet at the hall in bonor of lts 25Ul anniversary.
10 choosing to attack the Nisei Vets, ACE was assaulting a heretofore sacrosanct brotherhood. Tbese men are the heroes, the samurai of the Japanese-American community. Veterans of the famous "Go·for-Broke" 100th Infantry BattaUon and all-Nisei 442nd Regimental Combat Team, they fought in the Italian campaign and in southern France during World War n. Their heroism is legendary. Tbe 442nd was one of the most decorated units of the war and suffered one of the highest casualty rates.
The ACE contingent argued tbat any organization Ulat denied Japanese - Americans membership should not receive a rental fee from the Nisei vets.
The incident, although only peripherally covered in the local press, widened an already growing schism in the Asian community. The Nisei veterans, rallying behind their commander, Kiyoto Hashimoto, ac

Luke, the son a hand laundryman, was eJected to the Seattle City Council in 1962 - the first person of Chinese ancestry ever 10 run for public office in Washington State. Luke died in a 1965 plane crash, and he has come to be regarded as something of an avatar by the Seattle Chinese community.
" Wing Luke was like JFK," the Rev. Eng, whose wife is reo lated to the tate councilman, said. "He had that same kind of charisma. He was a brilliant man. He symbolized the possi· bility of a breakthrough. Be broke through." Two days later, at an ACE Fa· ther Eng said, ''The love to talk about Wing Luke. They even built a musuem to him in Chinatown. Tbere is more to life than Ulal. We no longer need Ule one charismatic leader."

The Satow Report Fnlm Previous Page many people have come 10 10 make use of our llbrary on Japanese Americans at Headquarters, ask many questions about Japanese Americans, and page through back issues o( The Pacific Citizen. Reports from our other JACL offices indicate the same situation.
A far reaching by-product of the vigorous campaign for repeal of Title IT of the 1950 Internal SecUrIty Act by this Committee bas been that many Americans for the first time are learning about the mass evacuation of persons of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast during World War IT. BOOKS ON NISEI
"Nisei; The QoJet Americans." - Fortunately for National Headquarters the processing of orders for Bili Hosokawa's book was centered in Chicago. Shig Wakamatsu and members of his Committee deserve a great deal of credit for taking on this gigantic project involving a number of JACL· ers. our Midwest Office and the Chicago Issei Service Cen· ter. handling 14.500 copies.
National Headquarters as· sisted in making up the ads with the help of H. Aizawa and Associates and placing them in the Pacific Citizen and aU the Japanese vernaculars.
/\. lively discussion nalionwide among Japanese Americans on the sub-title - The Quiet Americans, preceded the publication of the book and caused a delay in its appearance, but this also added to the pre-publication interest.
While the price of the book has gone up to $10.95 from $8.95. the remaining 500 of JACL's orders are being made available to the Chapters for contributing to local libraries at the original JACL price of $7 through National Headquarters. In addition a second advertising campaign through the Pacific Citizen and vernaculars has been set for the special $9 price. books to be handled by Headquarters. Five hundred additional copies have been ordered in preparation.
According to Morrow & Co .• a total of 28.500 books have been printed to date, of which JACL has bought 15.500. From the sales of the book, it is understood that any profit over and above the writing expenses
~ to Bill Hosokawa wili be re.., tained by National JACL in
addition to the royalties to be split between the author and .1.\CL. Our Recommendation is that such returns be used for materials on Japanese Americans as described above.
"Impounded People" - The immediate postwar booklet prepared by Spicer. Hansen, Luomala, and Opler for the War Relocation Authority was issued this last year in book form. In cooperation with the publishers. University of Arizona Press. Headquarters handled this book as a service to our membership. making it available for $7 on orders received and relayed to the U of
I A Press in the form of mailing labels and the Press absorbed the cost of mailing the book. 'l\vo hundred eighty-four were handied.
"Uprooted Americans" by Dillon Myer, former Director of the War Relocation Authority is due for publication this
faU by the Uruverslly of Arizona Press. By agreement \lith the U of .\ Press, Headquarters will handle this book in the same manner as "Impounded People." By previous National Board action J ACL has committed itself to 1,000 copies although under our agreement with the U o( A Press, no guaranteed number is involved.
"Citizen 13660" by Mine Okubo - As per our last bien· nium report. 1,000 copies of this reprinted book were purc has e d. apprOximately two thirds of which have been sold. We are selling this $6 book for $5 to members. $4 to chapters contributing them to libraries.
'l\vo books on Japanese Americans this biennium gave credit to National JACL for assistance on material: "The Great Betrayal" by Anna Loftis and Audrey Girdner - a detailed account of the evacuation and Dr. William ZeUer's "Educational Drama" dealing with schOOling in the Relocation Centers.
We enjoy a mutuaUy helpful relationship with the San Francisco Center for Japanese American Studies. The Center has produced a bibliography of books on Japanese Americans currently available. has helped us bring up to date our own library on books dealing with Japanese Americans. and we have made books available out of our own supply for orders received by the Center.
To expedite matters, we have kept a separate book account starting with income from the sale of Bosworth·s "American's Concentration Camps," the previous biennium. This account was reported at the 1968 Convention as being $3.071.67. The account now stands at $3.786.23. We believe that this income sbould be used toward promoting and distributing material on Japanese Americans.
From this account we withdrew $631.40 to send the J ACL brochures to all Congressmen. and $192 for two copies of the "Hiroshima-Nagasaki" film.
BOWLING TOURNAMENT - The 23rd National JACL Tournament was held in 1969 in San Jose under the Chairmansbip of Orne Shimada with 94 men and 36 women's teams. A special All Events tropby for JACL 1000 Clubbers was instituted at this Tournament on a handicap basis.
In 1968. 68 men and 26 women's teams participated in Denver with John Noguchi as Chairman. Of special interest at this Tournament was the participation of men's team and one woman bowler from Japan brought to the Tournament by Yasuharu Mizuno. proprietor of Toyota Crown Bowl from Aichi Prefecture.
The 1971 Tournament in Salt Lake City where the Tournament had its inception will be the 25th Anniversary Tournament. and special preparations are now being made to mark this Silver Jubilee. Frank Baker, Executive of the American Bowling Congress has aiready indicated his attendance. Gene Sato will be Chairman.

Nihonjin assumption
jolts a Sansei lass By BARBARA YOSHIDA
Seattle Sheer delJght IS an under·

In the initial blur of pre· parulg to go, I found myseU flying through all kinds of tour· ist guides on .Japan. baskmg m the congratulations of friends and relatives, and very hur· riediy packmg my bags. All the while. delusions of cam· era s, traveling, and two months of adventure danced through my head.
As I was t<lught up on the anticipation of this unexpected windfall, the thought that I would perhaps be able to ob· serve a cultural environment and learn o( a heritage that I knew very lillie aboul. did not seem uppermost in my mind at the lime. Gaining a greater un· derstanding and appreciation of my ethnic origin got lost in ail the excitement of going.
Knew Very LIttle
In leaving, I tried mentally to operationalize what types o( things I would be experiencing in the following weeks. As I did, it became quite apparent that I really knew very litlle about Japan.
My grandparents came to the United States around the turn of the century, blinging with them the culture and Ian·
At San Francisco Inter· guage from their home. I grew up in Idaho, where most of my social relationships with peers and community were in caucasian settings. Indicentally. the words Issei, Nisei, and Sansei comprised approximately 25 per cent of my Japanese vocabulary. national Airport, I met the oth· er three fellowship winners who I would come to know quite well in the enSuing weeks.
All four of us had come from varying backgrounds and exper i e n c e s , with one com· monality of being Japanese -American . J soon found that I was the only member of the group who did not speak Japanese.
lI;th us. They could hear our opinions on Issues and at the same time, practice their Eng· lish. Many of the Japanese can speak and read English, thus giving them more exposure to Western culture. It is unfortu· nate that Ule reverse is not true.
People in Japan are very group oriented. It was a common sight to see a group of stu· dents on a tour or outing to· gether. Groups from work do recreational activities together also.
Discotheques were abundant and alive with young people and Western sounding music.
Education is a key issue to the young people because how well they do academically casts the dye for their entire future. Entrance into a presti. gious college· and a pOSition in a "good business" depends solely on academic achievement.
J uvenlle Court
While in Tokyo, Min Yasui and I were able to visit a Juvenile Court. We observed a court proceeding in which a young man was involved in a delinquent act. The tone in which the judge addressed the boy and vice versa was inter· esting to me.
I saw contrasts between that and a similar court hearing in the United States. Both sys· terns operate for the best interest of the child but have very different approaches in working with juveniles.
Respect and authority have different levels of meaning and uses in each culture. I fowld It impossible to compare the United States with the Japanese methods without acknowledging the numerous cultural and historical aspects that can· tributed to these differences.
Although I was constantly involved in the typical types of tourist activities, lectures , ex· b'acurricular things, etc. , I became increasingly aware of the richness and beauty of the Japanese culture.
Centuries of Tradition Small , thoughtful gesture to
the very elaborate ceremonies had a certain charm and ele· gance to them which were nur· tured by centuries of tradition.

Japan trip enhances need of Sansei
to seel\: an Asian · American identity -By WAYNE MAEDA
Sacramento Now tllat I have seen the
"bigger picture" by actually visiting Japan from being one of the fortunate recipient of the JACL - JAL Summer fellow· ship, my ideas on the relevancy of Asian American Ethnic Studies have been more sharp· Iy focused. So I would like to share some of my experiences in Japan, the impressions I gained of Japan and the Japanese, the discovery of a sense of "belonging" to the country of my grandparents and how these relate to the meaning of Asian American Studies in par· ticular and to Ethnic Studies in general.
A stay of less than ten weeks in Japan during which time I attended Sophia University [or five weeks and then a four weeks tour of most of the major cities between Tokyo and Nagasaki hardly qualifies me as an "expert" on Japan.
Equally rrue is that the dif· ferences between East and West are far more complex than just a malter of the "Spiritual East" meeting the "Material West". Thus, lacking any real knowledge about the intricate social , political, religious and cultural patterns, I have missed many of the so· called nuances of Japan and so I lvill necessalily make gen· eralization that mayor may not be accurate.
Yet I was profoundly impressed by the many ex· periences that I have experienced in such a short time. These impressions and the things that I have seen have given me a new insight into the meaning of why Asian Ameri· cans need to seek an Asian American identity.
Font of ImpressIons
I saw and felt many things in Japan that have made lasting impressions on my mind. I have ridden on almost every mode of transportation available from the train to the hydrofoil. I have done almost eveloything from climbing Mt. Fuji to shopping on the Ginza in Tokyo.
I have stayed in one of Tok· yo's finest hotels to a stay at a humble farm house where I met my grandmother for the first time. ThUS, tlrere are many things that I have been profoundly impressed by.
I was literally floored by the masses of people I encountered wherever I traveled in Japan. A climb up Mt. Fuji, the sa· c red mountain of Japan, meant I had to wait in line to climb to the top.
I was highly impressed with Japan's transportation system both on land as well as on sea. The transportation was so well developed that one could almost set his watch by the train or the subway.
I was amazed at how hard many of the Japanese worked.
I was equally amazed at how tire Japanese enjoyed little things like a hot bath or a warm cup of sake. It was also saddening to see the contrast between the very ricb and the poor.
'New Middle Class'
Yet, I sensed the growing affluences of the so-called "new middle class" composed mainly of the salaried men wbo worked for the larger companies.
For the first time I fully realized why the Japanese students tried so hard to get into the better universities of J apan. The rigbt college could mean security for the rest of one's life and for this reason, the student and his parents sacrificed almost everything.
On the other, I was very much distuJ'bed at the arrogance that maoy Japanese ex· hibited towards other Asian nations.
I guess this arroganc~ is not uruike the attitude that some J a pan e s e Americans have towards other minority groups. A feeling that can be epito· mized in the phrase "we've made it". This arrogance may have been because Japan is searching for an identity. Perbaps trying to find what her role is and ought to be in Asia and in the world.

Ethnic Studies
Although new nite spots open ,A.f with a great deal of fanfare, " when they close down they fold
on the q.t. In the case of Showboat, if it hadn't been for the fire whIch broke out in the wreckage wlule it was being torn down, Showboat would 1.Jkely have passed from the scene unnoticed.
A r a u n d the semicircular deck were rails. Tiny girls rode in carts that moved along the rails to dispense beer. (These two gadgets were later abandoned. The paddlewheel ouiside also went to years be· fore Showboat closed as busi· ness sunk to an all-time low.)
Showboat won fame among visitors from abroad. Its prices were reasonable. The late Al Ricketts, Pacific Stars and Stripes columnist whose com· ments on Tokyo nite life were guides to a generation of American servicemen in Asia and the Western Pacific, wrote about Showboat. So did James Michener. It was used for a scene in " Bridges at Taka Ri," a film about tbe Korean war based on Michener's novel.
Artiving at Haneda inter· national Airport in Tokyo on a hot, humid and rainy day, I kept looking for the hordes of people that I'd heard so much about. I didn't have to look faJ', because the first thing I was aware o( in Japan was the ex· traordinarily large numbers of people in a very small area .
Nisei fears Super Power No. 3~ also known as No.1 Competitor
Without a doubt the most meaningful and beautiful experiences that I had while I was in Japan was a week's stay with my grandmother at the Ie (house of) of Maeda.
I really sensed an identity and felt a continuity between the past and present. Living in an old Japanese farm house where my father was brought up and his father before him, I gained a strong awareness of the link between a Japanese American ralsed in America and the Japanese in Japan.

A !bizarre mi:l:ture of the sev· en seas and the Mississippi River, Showboat was perhaps Tol·:yo's most famous cabaret.

The cordial welcome which Showboat gave foreigners reo calls a simpler time on the Ginza. Nowadays, Americans and Europeans who wander into a good number of cabareis and quietly told, "UtJs is a pri· vat e club," a euphemism meanmg they prefer Japanese only.

An Assumption by Japanese Another jolting awareness 1
had to face was that the Japa· nese people assumed that I spoke Japanese and could not understand why I did not reo spond to their conversation.
I rapidly learned to say that J did not speak Japanese, or I did not know Japanese, or I did not understand Japanese. Sometimes it took all three ways to get the point across.
To many of the Japanese I came into contact with , the term Sansei may not merely mean third generation, but perhaps limited, retarded?
Japan is not only very crowded but is constantly on the move, physically, socially, and economically. It seemed that there were endless contrasts between the old and the new.

Window displays were tngeruously attractive to shoppers while around the corner one could fmd an old temple or monument that was not out of harmony to the Japanese.

Curious About USA
The young people I met "ere qwte curious about the COIled States and we£e eager to talk
By JOE HAftIANAKA . Seattle
Being a J apan·watcher of a sort (amateur, of course) and a student of Japan, we do a lot of reading in Japanese jour· nals. And we are disturbed -call it "fear" - at the deterio· ration in U.S.·Japan relations on the business front.
As Japanese in America, our future well-being relates to the image and posture of Japan. Let's face it. We are Japanese.
Here is Japan. Proud, up from the loser's side, a lale na· tion which ran ha; J and caught up \vith a turning world. Adml' rable. Economically, they say Japan is winning territories sbe couldn't militarily. Her traders are all over the world - penetrating - selling, buy· ing, selling.
Japan's arms, ber tentacles, are the tradttg companIes -the Mitsui, Mitsubishi, C. ltoh, Maruheni - Iida , Nichimen, Nissho . Iwai. These are in Seattle, for example. And cu· riously, representing often both buyer and seller.
Up here in the Northwest Corner, they deal in coal. lum· ber. scrap iron, fish . Like a drain. the raw malenal slup out, then return as finished products. And the smaller American mills and processors are hurt.
Foremost In tile confllct is the rupture in the textile talks. And as American business slows down and as unemploy· ment mcreases, other products beaime subjects for confllcts - the television unports, the low pneed steel, electrical eqwprnent, automobiles.
Cbarges of "dumping" are lD the news. Selling products m
the U.S. cheaper than in Japan.
Consider what GM and Ford will do, legally or politically, if their Vega and Pinto cars lose out to the VW - Toyota . Datsun imports. How else lvill they figbt back? Curb the imports, of course.
Failing to stem Japan's marketeers and the increasing flow of "cheaper" but quality goods, those industries affected will look unkindly towards J a· pan.
Tbe unemployed, the suffering U.S. indusbies will trans· late these conflicts into overt emotional charges - n arne· calling, tariffs and barriers to curb free trade. Boycotts? Anti - Jflpanese feelings.
'l'here ... If things get worse, they begin to relate to us, the Japanese Americans. Let's face it.
• Overly engrossed In growth
and success. Forward, and on and on, growth aDd more growtb - Japan's business blueprint. Profit is s-:ondary.
On the dumping charges, they argue tbat the tooling and start-up costs are paid·for by the Japanese domestic mar· ket, and that by expandlDg abroad, these exports justifia· bly can sellior less.
It is cold business. But Japan is slow to realize that Americans faced ,,;tb unemployment and when confronted WIth "fears," will react and push for protection of its own. And tbe trade waIls begin to build - and that's bad for everyone.
J a pan, for my mllley. comeHll too good. too &trong. too fast. too coJd. SIIe is too competitive, too aggreaaM.
too ambitious, too serious, too ignorant of American "fears. " Her high national pride and goals. "Super Power No.3" and " No.1 Competitor" she is.
Japan, Inc., as ofte~ she is called, is a business - govern· ment complex, putting the squeeze on tbe trading nations of the world. Some nations will take it, for Japan is improving the standards of living in tbose developing nations. But America will fight back.
Seems to me World War n started something like this.
• • • Our weU·belng In America
is related to Japan, her public relations, ber public opinion. Let's face it. Japan has ar· rived and she knows it.
Already in Southeast Asia, the stick . to • themselves Japanese traders are looked on suspiciously, often called: " Ugly Japanese." And Japan as "Economic Animal." And "Yellow Yankees."
Basically, far too few Japa· nese have !.be abillty and/or desire to mix freely with for· eigners. They seem uncomfortable and out of place in sucb non . Japanese gatherings. Much of the suspicions and name . calling abroad s1em from this claonisbness. This aloofness.
The Japan Times editorially has stated that Japan's "ugly" Image stems from a more basic reason, "a lack 01 a sound ecoDomic overseas policy."
You've got to eue-up, Ja· pan. You are coming-on too strong. Back.off a 1itUe! ODegal! YOII must impoIie _ re-straiII1Ii 00 yoaneIf, 011 aeIect itemI that wiD caON IXIIIIIida mI feUI mI iDjudaI to JIIIU' ... ___ • So diIIIDf
This short stay in Japan, not as just a casual tourist but as one seeking ties tbat I have with those in tbe "old country" was to reaffirm the idea tbat we have roots that go back to Asia.
As Asian Americans we should not be ashamed of our cultural beritage. We ought not to be embarrassed \VIIen we bear Japanese, Chinese or any other Asian language spoken just a tittle too loud fearing what tbe whites may think of us, We must develop pride iii our cultur~ berltage and stop apologizing to others for not baving lost all of our cultural vestiges, or for not having been completely "a5Slmilated" inlo the dominant majority because of skin color.

It can come in the form of draft notices and rejection slips as well as overdue bllls. It can come in the absence of draft notices among those wbo know themselves to be privileged, and feel guilty because of it And it can come in the in· cessant pressure for grades and degrees and credentials.
"We must also recognize tbat today's students are ready to sacrifice - that indeed they have laid on the line their aca· demic standing, their career hopes, even their physical safe· ty for their beliefs. They have demonstrated courage - and staying power.
" It is perfectly true that stu· dents have no monopoly on wisdom. They did not suddenly discover war, or hunger, or poverty, or discrimination. But as it bas always been through history, they are least able to compromise with injustice. They have no tolerance for race hatreds. They have no pa· tience with the de(erral of burning problems.
"We should take students seriously, not because they are future voters or because they pose a threat to democratic process - but because they help voice the Nation's can· science.JI
VoIce of Conscience This is the lovely thing about
youth, that most often youth seeks more than material pros· perity, that it seeks a climate in which the hwnan spirit can prosper, where no man's worth is diminished arbitrarily, where there are no recessions or depressions in the values that man places on man.
Tbe model of valor for Nisei were the men of the 442nd who proved their loyalty and cour· age far beyond necessity. But models of valor must change with changing circwnstances.
That model for many Sansei is something that we who are not of their generation have the utmost difficulty under· standing, because in shaping their own model, our children call into question some of our own dearest, conditioned atti· tudes.
Now many Sansei, with other young Americans, call for im· m e d i ate disinvolvement in Southeast Asia; they seek for a radical re·direction in the pri· orities that our government as· signs to the solving of mUltiple and tortuous problems.
I agree with most of their concerns - of the war, of the shame of American poverty, of the many evidences of racism and undeserved favoritism, of the strangling of our environ· ment, and many other most fundamental issues.
I do not always agree with youth's assessments of bow our government is attempting to solve these problems. But I do not question the sincerity of their dissent against the policy set by other generations, and in J.his respect it makes little difference to the young what politicai label that generation wears.
Role of Dissent The Sansei's most American
use o( political dissent itself runs counter to Japanese heri· tage. Few Issei would have thought o( political protest ; only a relative hand(ul of Nisei

little reflection they will reo member that they too through this with their own parents, who were not always receptive to their sons' and daughters' irrefutable ideas on the DepresSion, on Japan's vasion of China, on marriage with Caucasians, on home and community customs that young Nisei found difficult to fit into the social patterns of Venice High School, Class of '38.
SAN GABRIEL VALLEY;
And so to parents, I ask you remember more than you condemn, because even though you may have forgotten it, you were there once yourself, in tbat time of untarnished, real· izable ideals, in that time of acute awareness of wrongs and how they should be corrected. The long hair of the young which is such an affront to many elders was once a badge of the Samurai . . . and (he young as with the Samurai, hair and prinCiples tend ta be woven together.
SIzing Up Parents And now for you, my young·
er brothers and sisters - I ask your particular indulgence and patience, to listen if you can to one who is past 30, never to return.
Your fathers and mothers know what injustice is. Don't be too harsh on them because they've been there, in a way that you can never expect to be. They were there in a differ· ent time and under vastly dif· ferent circumstance, but there nonetheless. They felt the ne· cessity - just as you do - of proving their own individual worth, but they had to prove it in a different way - and remember it was in a different time and UIIder different cir· cwnstances. The times change, and ,so do the necessities.
Some of you probably feel that your parents copped out in 1942 because they did not fight the United States Army by hurling flower pots and vic· trolas at them. You yourselves are determined not to be Copouts and will go to any lengths to avoid the appear· ance. But the words "futility" and "wisdom" are brothers, because the \\~se man knows what is futile and shuns it.
There is futility in working too far outside the establishment in America, 1970, whether that establishment is your family, or your school or your government.
Change is necessary, and in many cases overdue, but if you learn nothing else from your reading of history, whether it be by Mao·tse Tung or SI. Mat· thew, the most eflective agent of change is neither the bomb nor the bullet, but the idea and those whom it attracts.
Prospect.~ for Change Working within the estab·
lishment - however distasteful that concept appears to be -oflers the most immediate prospects for change.
I applaud Yellow Broth· erhood. I applaud Go For Broke and Come Together Family and the many other ef· forts Sansei are making to bring about necessary reforms. I applaud not because I sup· port all the particulars, but be· cause they are your efforts to change our society for the ter by shaping it rather than by destroying it.
It was through your parents' efforts that Japanese names appeared in the United States Senate, Ihe House of Repre· sentatives, this States' Court Appeal, in sub· Cabinet posts, on city councils, and in a host o( other positions capable o( in· fluencing, for better or worse, the (uture course of our socie· ty.
So you cannot say that your parents weren't there, because they were.
Don't be 100 critical

Changing Emphasis Qf the JACL

_any years ago, a Greek philosopher, Heraclitus (536, 470 B.C) said, that all things change, and the law of nature is-:· change. The Japanese American Citizens League is 110 exception. It has changed in its_ purpose and goals since its In~eption in the late '20s. This cbange is rightly so, for every· thing around us is changing and the people who composed JACL, hereafter I shall call it 50 as it is generally J..:now, have changed.
Mound 1920, right aftel' the FirSt World War, some older Ni8e.l in the San Francisco Bay A1;~ gathered together to dis· cuss about their future and thar own conditions in the couJltry of their birth. They w~ not many but they were j u::s t reaching that highly prliled voting age. They were Americans by birth, but their citizenship and loyalty were doubted.
ond World War, to which they were innocent victims.
They were all sent to the Re· location Centers, but they vol· unteered into the American armed forces, from "behind the barbed wire fence\' and proved their loyalty. The 442nd Regimental Combat Team composed entirely of Nisei was the most decorated battalion in the annals of American military history.
After the War, many social forces made change to the American attitude toward the Japanese Americans. JACL achieved a most remarkable success in the postwar years.
Nisei has proved that he is a loyal American. He also has attained economic position. To· day he is considered economic· ally more \\~th the middle·' class of America than a memo ber of a minority. Whereas be· for e the great emphasis was Americanization and in· . tegration, but today America is considered no longer as a "melting pot" but a multi·cul· ture society.

1- SECTION C THE PACIFIC CITIZEN
THE HONOR ROll By our presenting Ibe annual 1000 Club Honor Roll
In Ibe fashion as presented on two and a hall pages, we intend to establish a " semi·pennanent" formal. In IIIbsequent years, we need only sbHt Ibe "year" cate· gorles of each group since many of our Tbousanders renew continuously each year.
We have alpbabetlzed Ibe Honor Roll for one thing, maintaining Ibe "year" categories and breakdown by chapters. Hence. a 1000 Clubber can move into an· other chapter and It would only require changing Ibe position of Ibe name Ibe following year.
The Honor Roll contains Ibose who were active as of Dec. 1. Some of Ibe persons listed, of course. may bave renewed since that date. and may be found in Ibe previous year category. - The Editor.

Both .., ere strongly anti·Establishment but wanted to see change in opposite directions. Both, however. seemed highly nationalistic.
HlrosbIma Experience But the most profoundly
moving expenence I bad was revealing, not only of Japan. but of man generally. It was the memorial service for the atom bomb victims held on Au· gust 6. at Hiroshima.
I remember that event vivid· ly. The morning was hot, clear and brilliant. A few hours before. I had met my parents, who were also visiting Japan for the summer.

Here in microcosm was hu· manity, then as now. And somehow the whole stupid in· sanity seemed entirely possible all over again. I just stood there and I couldn't stop the tears that kept streaming down my face.

We walked onto the vast grounds of the Peace Plaza and the very vastness of the space and the clearness of the sky somehow filled me with an indescribable emotion.
The Plaza was jammed with people and in the center was a huge fire burning near the ferro concrete symbol of peace. The memorial service began with religious ceremonies and polititians mouthing their ntualistic rhetolic on peace. They were so far away that they were hardly visible and the sound amplification was so bad that it was barely intelligible.
People in the Plaza T started looking at people.
There were plump baby faces laughing the laughler of in· nocence and solemn, wealh· ered faces that saw more than it revealed .
There were vacuous teen· agers acting as thOl':;h at a fes· tival and there were monomaniacal militants exploiting the occasion for their own dil~ned purposes. Some signs read "Return Okinawa Now!" or "Humanize the :Jniversities." Some people would engage them in healed debate.
I saw people with wanD, generous smiles serving free tea and r saw vendors selling souvenirs.
I saw Americans, grave and silent, and I saw Americans mindlessly snapping their cam· eras. And I saw people with
parents were there and what kinds of Ihings motivated them to leave and go to a foreign country.
• Looking back over this sum
mer, I remember things like a guitar player singing Japanese folk songs, getting lost in the Ginza, walking to school with Wayne Maeda and dodging laxis. and philosophizing wilh Min on the transitoriness of life.
I saw relatives I had never seen before and visited the city my grandparents came from - Hiroshima. Througb the train window I caught a last glimpse of my relatives wav· ing goodbye in Hiroshima.
I felt nostalgic in leaving Ja· pan. In my mind. I had lelt with so much more than I had come with (in my suitcases also) .
Culture Diluled There are some things in the
Japanese culture that I was rat her nebulously familiar with. such as the value of aca· d e m i c achievement. some types of foods, and some as· pects of family structure.
Fro m my grandparents, there were numerous cultural traits that were transmitted to me that I was really not aware of before. Many aspects of this culture have diluted down as a result of socialization into our community.
Several cull ural customs and values have been maintained while others have been more

Down below was all of J a· pan. - Expo with the modern· ity and power it symbolized. the basement theaters 111th the creativity and conscience it housed, and somewhere down below was Hiroshima. It was an awe-inspiring view.
But as the eastern sky daw· ned pink and gloriously. I dis· covered that I was standing on a pile of crumpled up news· paper barely holding some· body'S garbage and the spar· kling reflection of the riSing sun on the hillside was not from dew but from shards of broken beer bottle and crushed tin cans. I was lOOking down from the highest point of a sa· cred mountain and the symbol of all Japan.
integrated to adjust to the American culture.
As Japanese Americans, our ide n tit Y ·has some com· monalities with the Japanese culture and also with the United States.
Ethnic Heritage Our cultural heritage began
in Japan, grew with the Issei. and is dynamically continuing to grow with the ongoing gen· erations. This summer has giv· en me a richer awareness of being Japanese American.
Ethnic identity in my gener· ation and in future generations is a challenge that we must be· gin to meet now. With further acculturation, our identity must be relevant to what is go· ing on today.
Here in Seattle. as I'm sure in other areas, organizations such as Young Asians for Ac· tion, Asian Coalition for Equal· ity, and the Asian Drop·in Center, are constructive chan· nels for dynamic e t h n i c growth. These types of activi· ties are giving young people a greater awareness of a lich heritage while meeting the needs of today.
With the support of the Issei and Nisei, the young Japanese Americans meet the challenge of relevantly continuing a pro u d Japanese American heritage.
My appreciation and holiday greetings go to the Japanese American Citizens League and Japan Air Lines for making this fellowship possible. I hope that this program will continue so that others may have as an enriching experience as r did. Thank you.
The educational processes of Ethnic Studies are twofold:
One is education with an eth· nic point of view for the memo bers of a particular group \11th an emphasis on where that group has been, what were their experiences and what kinds of responses were made by them because of their status as a minority group.
The other is education with an ethnic point of view for the members of the dOminant rna· jority to ethnosize and sensi· tize them so that they under. stand their own groups reac· tions to life styles that differ from the "American way of life." We must all learn to un· derstand that if a society is to be pluralistic then other life styles are just as important and just as valid as the domi· nant one.
For a Better Life The long·term objective is
first of all not particular to Ethnic Studies but hopefully is shared by many. The goal is one of effecting a change in the quality of life.
1t is obvious and presump· tuous to think that there are simple answers to complex problems and we cannot con· done Simplistic approaches. Thus Ethnic Studies is not just of the moment but it is based on the fundamental assump· tions that education which is meaningful must enable a per· son to understand himseU, oth· ers and the society in which he lives. Through this under· standing it is hoped that we can live together on an "equal" basis of respect, dig· nity and responsibility.
Are these goals idealistic? Perhaps. but what do we have left when man can no longer h a v e visions nor dream dreams?
If Ethnic Studies in general and Asian American Studies specifically are understood in this light then one need pose questions as to whether is relevant. For the question of coexistence then becomes a question of understanding.
As Louis Hartz put it, "Can a people 'born equal' ever under· stand peoples that have to become so? Can it ever under· stand itseU?" Coexistence and understanding are questions which are a matter of survival, the seeking of our identity can be one of the paths that lead us to that goal - surviVal.

RIGHT TO DISSENT
To acknowledge the ef(on of Jr. JACL members and ad· Vlsers of the Nortbern Califorrua·Western Nevada DIstrIct Youth Council, the PaciIic Citizen is happy to reprint their 1969 BIt>hograpby. wluch is divided mto three sections: General Works, Periodicals of the Evacuation Era, and Periodical LIterature.
In a prIor artIcle by Jerry Enomoto, some very provoca· tlve issues were cited relative to the defeat of Judge Gitelson traceable to his decision which many, including his victorious o p p 0 n e nt , interpreted and stressed as bemg olle repre· senting " forCed bussing."
The Jr. JACLers compiled the bIbliography 011 General As an attorney, I have been Works by referring to the card catalogues at the following

Iy the most important charac· terlsllcs of those who uphold The problem, however, is the responsibility and burden never that simple.

It was truly unfortunate lIlat 4fsever31 judges publicly criti·
cized the racist campaign tech· mques of the victor ~r the elections and not prior thereto. What is the slgniIicance of a post·election statement? I cer· tamly can 't comprehend it. F'or reasons Of preserving unpar· lJallty and avoiding a conflict of interest, the men of the Judiciary aI'e el>'jlected to \11thdraw from the aggresSIve role of active political involvement. The problem becomes some· what complex when judges as· SUD1e this expected stereotyped role of judicial "godliness. "
he trreconciliable fa ctors, among others, are the follow· mg:
1 - State Judges are appom(ed by the Governor and generally selected along politi· cal affiliations. To achieve con· sidera tion for such an appoint· ment, an aspirant must be more than passively involved with his political party.
2 - He is then expected by the public to withdraw from any active partiCipation foUow·
g his apPointment. The reo sulting problem is - how is he able to keep pace \\~(h contem· porary relevance or touch bases with the pulsebeat of NOW? IT this concept of politi· cal msulation does in fact func· lion, it would appear that a )udgeslup is more of an an· nointment than an appomt· ment.
3 - In the light of the consid· eration that a judge must run for ~Iection, he is caught in an impossIble sItuation of y()yo.ing from a station of impar-
I jUdICial decorum to that of crafty game of politicking for
re-election, and back to a posi· tion of political isolationism af· ter a successful retllection.
Perhaps It is the responsl' bilty of the bar associations Of'
lIldl\'idual attorneys to inform the public or ex-pose any "10kfish" political campaigns engl' neered by judicial candidates.
Judge Gitelson. though torn from Ius JudiCIal robe, leaves the bench comforted, at least, \11th a staunch reputation for udiclal strength, courage. and

Whether one agrees with the method of commumcation uti· Uzed. I.e., via demonstration and/ or marches, the r ight of dissent must be regarded as a sacred exercise of the freedom of speecb and assembly.
TITLE U SYNDROME
After what feels like a dec· ade of effort m Title IT Repeal meetings, presentations before literally thousands of peoples and partICipation in a Congres· s ional Healing, we aI'e awalt· ing the verdict presently (Dec. 11) in the hands of our con· gressmen.
I'm certam that Mike Ma· saoka is more knowledgeable in reporting on the present situation in Washington relative to the JACL efforts to repeal that most repressive legislation.
Recently, the District of Co· lumbia enacted an anti-crime bill which may somewhat par· allel the issues we are con· fronting under TItle n. I am making reference to the 60·day pretrial detention provision in· c1uded in the D.C. Law. The provision in issue allows pre· trial jailing up to 60 days with· out bail of suspects charged with a variety of dangerous non-capital crimes when a court finds the release of the suspect would be a danger to the community.
Undoubtedly there are many cases where authorities know with some certainty that a sus· pect, if released, will soon commit another crune. But this presumption does not seem sustainable under our ConstJtution smce. ahke the Title II suspect, the arrestee under the D.C. CrIme Bill is being punished for a "probable future act" and further pre· sumed guLIty for the offense which he was arrested prior to an adjudication of such guilt.
Everyone recognizes the danger of increasing crune in our society. But we must at the same lime recognize the dan· gers of expediently demolish· ing basic constitutional rights in our attempts to deal with the crime SItuation. This dan· ger. in practice, far outweighs !be threat or avne.

DECEMBER 11·25, 1970 - SPECIAL HOLIDAY ISSUE THE PACIFIC CITIZEN
JACL essay by Ellen Sakai
'Showdown at Generation Gap' ..... ------.---------. Holiday Greetings
(From Pm10Uli Page) By understanding and acting
on important issues, JACL will be contributing to the Ameri· can life and will be able to last as an effective organization lor many years to come.
For More Active JACL
The main reason it is neces· sary lor the JACL to actively participate on important issues is to assure an ellective work·
.a. ing government and to protect ~ our rights and the rights 01 oth·
ers.
In the 1940s and the 1950s, J ACL was mainly concerned "~th the rights 01 their memo bers. Now is the beginning of a new decade, and compared to the problems 01 other ethnic groups, our problems are mi· oor. The plights of minolities such as the Blacks and the American Indian are hundreds of years old in America.
However. with the help of the JACL, the Japanese have made tremendous advance· ments socially and economic· ally in America in a matter of
.40 years (since World War II). • It is now lime lor us to lend
a helping hand to other minor· ities so they might enjoy the same type 01 freedoms we al· ready enjoy. Their cry lor help is loud and clear.
J ACL must answer the calls lor help by actually helping the minorities and by making oth· er Americans see the problem. Only by understanding and by making others understand can the JACL and America sur· vive. Understanding is the key to unity, peace, and harmony.
Unfortunately, though, the til lack of understanding exists ~~ everywhere. It exists between
individuals, generations, races and countries. JACL must ad· vance with the times, and the only way this is going to take p I ace is through under· standing. It is the only way JACL is going to be able to come together as one united body to work for "Better Arne r ic a n s for a Greater America."
(ThIs article woo second prize In the 1970 JACL Essay Contest.)
From Sectlon c-Z It may be tbat you no longer
Wish to be a "Japanese • American" organization but an "Asian Amencan" organiza· tl 0 n , del' e lop i n g a con· sciousness as a group 01 Asian descent rather than Japanese descent.
It may be that you wish to lssume a greater responsi· bility to protest the rights 01 all other peoples - Americans or not - who suller because 01 the maimed perceptions 01 oth· ers.
William ' Mo' Marumoto
Perhaps you can come to an agreement on your purpose -whatever they may be - and work towards them with unani· mity. But il you cannot, il this accord cannot be reached, then the reason lor being one of the JAYs no longer elCists, and I, who so strongly fel t the neces· sity for its being, urge that you discard it as just one more 01 those innumerable hopes that could not survive change.
'Act Accordingly'
In a recent report to the Na· tional Goals Research Stalf, Presidenti al counselor Daniel P. Moynihan was speaking of the changing necessities 01
government, and in doing so spoke just as surely of your situation . He said:

And il you feel that differ· ently, then you too must act accordingly.
Back before even your par· ents were born, back before Bonnie and Clyde, the Stock Mal'ket crash and all of the Roaring 1\venties. there was an impractical thinker running loose named Robert H. God· dard.
centric. In 1922, long before anyone thought 01 calling him a pioneer in space travel, this thinker. this visionary talked about Man's strivings and ~is own strivings towards his vi. sion of something better. What he said was lhis:
" How many years I shall be able to work on the problem, J do not know. J hope, as long as I live. There can be no thought of finishing. for 'aiming at the stars' both literally and fig· uratively is a problem to occu· py generations, so that no mal· ter how much progress one

It is interesting to know that their population has been con· stant through the years. There were about 700 Issei in Nebr· aska in the 19005. Tolay, there are about 70 Issei and com· bined with the Nisei and Sansei equal 700.
An outstanding example of a successful farm operation would be the Sato & Sons cor· porate farm 3,000 acres near Morrill, where they raise corn, wheat, potatoes, beans, oats, barley, sugar beets, etc. They feed cattle or sheep during the winter.

There are two reasons for this constancy of population:
l-Since 1925, there has been no new immigration due to the Oriental Exclusion Act.
2-Most Nisei, who were born in the 19205, have all graduated high schools and a third of them finished colleges or universities. Since Nebraska is an agricultural state with no big cities except Omaha, the Nisei have had to move out of state for jobs. Consequently, the Nisei population dropped, the Issei are passing from the scene and the Sansei count in· creasing.

Scattered Area ••.••• 70 The ratio is Issei 10 per cent,
Nisei 35 per cent, and Sansei 55 per cent.
Issei Came ln 1920s Nearly all Issei came to
Nebraska 50 years ago and nearly all of them were em· ployed by the railroad com· panies as section hands at 'the outset. The late Ch,arles H. Shinn and the late Frank T. Ohdo were hired as inter·
.. preters.
Other successful Nisei farm· ers would include Fred and George Kuroki (,brothers of the famed WW2 Nisei aelial gun· ner Ben Kuroki) , Sam and Hideo KaIDino, George Yam· aid, Mike and George Hayashi, Ed and Miles Miyoshi in the North Platte area; Nagaki Brothers and Haig Hagihara of Alliance; Ted Nanbara of Gering; Kawaguchi, Hara, Suo gano, Tomoi, Yamada, Ara· tani, Morimoto, Kanno, Miya· hara, Sato Bros., Sakurada and Nochi of Scottsbluff County.
While many Nebraska· born Nisei are now teachers, physi· cians, nurses, engineers, photo· graphers, pharmacists, etc., in such states as Massachusetts. New York, Ohlo, Missouri, Kansas, Texas, California and Colorado, most notable of the 442nd veterans in Pershing Na· kada, a Univ. of Nebraska graduate, who is a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army today.
Last year's Pacific Citizen Holiday Issue gave a detailed story of the Issei in Omaha, but it should be recounted here as well.
In 1910, there were some 300 Issei working in the Omaha meat pacldng company such

17' In 1910, when all railroad work was completed, the Issei were duly released. Fortunate· Iy in that year, the Great West· ern Sugar Co. opened up the new industry in Scottsbluff County and their 12,000 acres in sugar beets needed many workers. Since most of the Is· sei came from rural districts in Japan, they were happy to work in the beet fields and set· tled at Scottsbluff. Snake River, Boise Valley, Idaho Falls,
