Remember Pearl Harbor

Soma months ago , was silting in a gas .tation waiting for the attendant to service my car when I overheard a conversation between two men who were obviously employed at the nearby steel ~. The con· versation went back and forth concerrung the hard times American steel operations were experiencing and the reasons for the difficulties. As I sat there I expected to hear the standard complaint about cheap Japanese steel hurting the United States steel pro­ducers.

Eventually the conversation came around to ex· actly that point. The men's voices became more heated and angry as the woes of the entire community were blamed on Japan. The final statement of one of the men was "We should have killed ·all the damn Japs in World War n when we had the chance."

The man who made this statement left shortly afterward but the other man lingered in the station with a somewhat apologetic, somewhat sheepish ex· pression on ltis face.

Sensing his discomfort I remarked, jokingly, "Did your friend leave to form a lynching party for me?"

This seemed to break the tension a nd the other man laughed and began to explain what he believed to be rather harsh statements of his friend. He explained that his friend had just been laid off from his job at the steel plant and that he was frustrated and mad, and that it was quite easy to transfer his frustrations of joblessness to hate of foreign steel.

"And since Jim fought in the Pacific in World War n," he added, " It is easy to rekindle hate for the people he saw kill his two brothers and friends."

The other guy apologized for his fliend's remarks and continued to explain that he personally knew that Japan could prodnce high quality materials at a cheap­er price because the Japanese plants were more mod· ern than those in his city. He went on and on about how he had visit<td Japan recently and marveled at the production in that country and how no longer did Japan produce cheap imitations.

Time and again this man kept saying to me, "You and your people," "When you return to Japan," "You Japanese."

Finally I told him I was an American citizen born in this country, that my parents were born and raised in this country. He seemed quite surprised but still his final statement was "You Japanese have made a tremendous recovery in your country."

WASHlNGTON - San Fran· cisco last week (Aug. 17) and ils Cblnese communily asked the Supreme Court to prevenl Il massive desegregation plan for lis 47,000 elementary scbool chUdren this fall.

City Attorney Thomas O· Connor asked Justice William Douglas I<> stay the effecl of an order by Federal Districi Judge Stanley Weigel. who found 80 per cent of the black pupUs were in only 27 ot the city's 102 schools.

The city's Chinese commun­ity made a like request of DougJ ...

They said the suit, whlcb doesn't directly concern them, has resulte In di$perslng Chi· nese children far away from Ibelr neighborhood schools.

Cblnese Communlly

"Unless a stay of the re· assignment of pupils ot Chi­nese ancestry is granted, the cultural and educational life of the Chinese community In San Francisco will, as a prac· tical matter, be destroyed."

When replies to the appllca· tions are received from the Negroes wbo started the suit, all papers will be sent to Jus­tice Douglas at his vacation retreat In Goose Prairie, Wash. He can notify tbe Supreme Court clerk's office by tele· pbone of his decision.

O'Connor said San Francis­co has not engaged In any acls or omissions 10 purposely seg· regate children on a racial basis. For this reason, he said. the lawsuit does not tall in the legal area covered by the Suo preme Court's historic decl· slons on the rubject.

Question of Dul,.

"The core of the problem Is the question of duty," he said. "That is, Is there a duty to racially balance? As Indica. ted by Chief Justice Warren Burger, the Supreme Court of the United States has nol as yet answered tbls very 1m· portant question."

And I'm fighting back because I won't run From the slant·eyed people of the rusin' Sun"

Other "Buy American" ads have appeared in vari. ous sections of the country. The So. Calif. JACL office reports that an Arizona paper has run an ad saying: "Remember Pearl Harbor, when they tried to take your country from you. They are back with cheap im. ports to take your jobs, pension, and social security."

• • • All of whIch means that we as Japanese Americans

face the increasing possibility of racism and discrimi. nation as the economic competition between Japan and the United States intensifies. When an economic campaign is reduced to the emotional level. racist name-calling is one result. Japanese Americans, be­cause of our immediate visibility, may become the tar. get of hostilities. insults, and racism inherent in this situation.

Many Japanese Americans are said to believe that "they have It made in this society." Chances are g)"eat that many people in this nation view us not as "model citizens" but more as "slant·eyed people from the rusin' Sun."

I am not an alarmist but the trend is clear that racism directed at Asians which surfaces in rhetoric is increasing.

The campaign to "Remember Pearl Harbor" may become a battle cry to rally against Japanese products but it may be well for us as Americans of Japanese ancestry also to "Remember Pearl Harbor" and what being Japanese Americans meant then. ~-- .............. ~~~

Cancer and environmental pollution will be wiped out 1Il Japan In the next 30 years. Also, no major catastrophes will result through earth­quakes because every quake wlll be predictable one month In advance.

The s e predictions were made by a majonty of 4,000 J apanese sclentists who were questioned in a survey con­ducted by the Science and Technology Agency.

The principle question ask­ed In the survey was: "To what extent wlll science and technology In Japan develop In the next 30 years?"

The questions covered 620 points in the dve categories of medical, social develo\,­ment, food, In!ormatlon and

industrial resources. In the category of medicine,

the survey concluded that the number of patients suffering from cancer would be halved by 1988 and that cancer itself would becomea completely curable disease by 1997.

With regard to social prob­lems, the problem of automo­bile exhaust fumes will be solved within six years the technological savants pr~dict. However, it will not be before 1989 that urban waste will be-come disposable in an ideal manner.

By 1996 also, an earthquake with a magnitude of six or more w 0 u 1 d be predictable one month before, the survey sald.

The survey also said that polson-free agricultural chem­icals would be conceived by 1984 and technology to trans­late foreign languages into Japanese automatically would be developed by 1987.

week by the YWCA Magno-lia Fund Committee with the appointment of Merilynne Ha· mano as part-time worker.

The project, approved by the YWCA Board, will ex­plore the extent and nature ot drug abuse and develop programs, services and alter .. natives to the wtique needs of the Asian American girl on drugs.

Miss Hamano, a UCLA gra­duate in sociology, has work­ed on student and community projects through the Asian American Studies Cenler as well as the UCLA board of urban research and develop­ment.

Majority Girl.

Referring to the recent JA­CL-JACS report that there were 11 known cases of over­dose in July, Miss Hamano revealed the majority of them were girls. Juvenile court and probation officer. also report an increasing number ot. Asian American girls being booked for drug, hurglary, I'UIUling away and other ot­fenses.

Teenage girls are also be­ing faced with unwanted pregnancies, a situation which may be further complicated by the fact t hat if a girl has been taking drugs during pregnancy, her baby may be born addicted, the Sansei commwtity worker continued.

A widely held myth among Asian American girls on drugs is that an ingestion of a large quantity of drugs during preg­nancy will cause a miscar­riage, which Miss Hamano says, only further endangen the lives of these victims.

"Unfortunately, the prob­lems ot d rug a buse among girls in the Asian American community art: not new, but are merely becoming more visible and widespread," Miss

'Mask of Hiroshima'

HamaDO declared.

Unique Needs

The YWCA Magnolia Fund Committee spokesman, Mrs, Yae Nakamura ot 1665 Vic­toria Ave. (743-3477), indi­cated existing self-help drug abuse groupS in the commu­nity are primarily male-orl. ented or male-dominated in I terms ot program, outreach and leadership structure. Al­though they represent a maj. or breakthrough in the Asian American commwtity, they do not seem to deal effectively with the unique needs of the girls .

" It Is for this reason that the Magnolia Fund Commit­tee wholeheartedJy agreed to use the remaining funds from the sale of the old Magno­lia Residence and other fund­raising activities to lend fi­nancial and moral support through the YWCA to combat the d rug abuse problem among Asian American girls," Mrs. Nakamura said.

It was the Issei women In the original Japanese YWCA who solicited door-to-door from Santa Barbara to Im­perial Valley in the 1920s to establJsh a residence tor working girls in Boy I e Heights. It became known as the MagnolJa Residence be­cause of the big magnolia tree in its tront yard.

Because ot changing times and needs, the house was sold in 1960 and the MagnolJa Fund Committee was formed to administer the proceed. from the sale of the home to meet commwtity needs and carry out YWCA programs.

Lm Angeles Lut. year, there were a t

least 31 death. resultlllg [rom drug overdosage in the A.sian commWlity. This flgure was determined by the number of deaths known to various self­help gl'oups In the Los An­gele. area.

compl;se a large number. It seems evident that the pre­sence 01 readily avaiJable drugs must be acknowledged by the community

. An upcoming event that win bring this fact into focus IS Ibc Nisei Week carnival ( It was beld Aug. 20-22.-Ed.) Stumbling, glassy-eyed youths every yea_!" are pl'esent to par­take in the festive activihes.

Two speakers for the wo­men's liberation movement from the University Branch of the YWCA made their pitch to the Seattle J ACL meeting Jul~ ' 21. Sarah Whis­nant and Sarah Sakuma. both UW students. were prepared with voluminous sta ti stics and stacks 01 brochures.

Miss Sakuma stated that women's movement is radical m a sense of getting into the root of the problems to make changes in the role between men and women. "Socia l ~CJ ­

entists didn 't pay much a t­tention to \\l"omen. l\10sUy they studied men and helped to re­inforce the stereo~ p e and myth 01 women," Sakuma said. "The assumption relates women's work to be In the home."

The actual number however, Is extremely di!ficult to cal­culate due to the tendency Of families to cover up the lact o( an overdose in their home. Many times, instead oC record­ing a case as an overdose, it will be recorded as a respira­tory disease or heart con­dition

As long as the number of deaths remains unknown, it will be easy for members of the Asian community not to recognize the urgency of the drug problem.

Within the past month, at least 15 overdose cases have been recorded in the com­munity" Again, this number can be an understatement of the actual number of 0 v e l'­doses. These OD's reveal the availability of drugs, especial­ly within th e junior and sen· ior high schools in the Los Angeles area.

Dr ug availability. as found in the schools today. is direct­ly related to overproduction by the major drug manufac­turing companies. It is esti­mated U,at in 1969 anywhere from 12 to 15 billion barbit­uate capsules were produced. The number sold through pre­scription compares only to a fraction of that number.

Numerous Senate and House reports ill\'estigating tbe prob­lem of drug abuse focus on the over-abundance of drugs that Ql'e channeled into non ­medical use.

Countl ess figures and st.atis ~

tics can be accumulated for the purpose of verifying the eXlStant drug problem in the Asian community. The Coro­ner's office, for example. in examining the drug problem, has mapped out the geo­graphical areas in which deaths from dl'ug overdose have occurred. Upon examina­tion, it is seen that the great· est number o( deaths fall within the minority communi­ties. These same communities are areas in which Asians

This year, however, con­cerned individuals within the community have made a de­cision to confront this reality and the people callght withiD it

The JACS - AI office, in cooperation with many set'i­ous community workers, is attempting to offer some as­sistance to the youth who may be a hazard to himself, as well as othel:S. This attempt is one of the first steps in an all-out protracted of lens Iv e agaillst drug ava ilabilily in the Asian commwlity.

The offensive against drug over-production requires the involvement and commitment of not only community work­ers, but the services and co­operation of every member 01 the community.

The "sb 'aight" Sansej, Wl­

committed Nisei, even tile visitor to lhe Nisei Week cele­bration-aU have a role in helping Ihe stllmb)jng d l' U g user. One can approach the user and suggest for his safe­ty (against any an'est) that he leave the carnival ,

£f parents, f r i end s. or -trangers feel uncomfortable O!' incapable of conf.ronting directly the individual, teams of commWlity workers will be on hand to try to talk with the user. The attempt by b'iend or community worker to protect the individual can only be suggested. The drug abuser present at the carnival or parade bas already made himself vulnerable to a drug arrest.

Drug abuse is only a mani­fes tation of the problems cre­ated by racist stereotypes and conflicting cultural pressures on the youth. Oftentimes . overprotective and unyielding parents increase the likeli­hood of their children laking drugs.

She compared tltis sorry sta te With the role of women in other countries where they have a freer hand in chaos· ing their destiny.

\Vomen's discrinunation is sorely felt il'l the wages paid to women. Following gradua­tion of college at the age of 21 , she asks it lhe wo­Jnen are able to choose her own career and destiny a fter 2] years ot socia lizing a nd conditioning. Gir ls are taught I r om infancy to be passive and dependent. Women sul­fer fro m neurosis as a re­sult at constant disc(imina­tion against them .

Miss Whisnant reinforced Sakuma'S contention by tell · ing ot hel' experience at UW. U\Ve were 'dumb' because we are women. 'Vomen aren't supposed to excel in school since we are going to get married anyway." Whisnant said . " We fin d oul tha t wo­men are not talking in the classroom since t hey felt we were incapable and we find that other women t e l t the same way. Very few women ever speak in class," Whis.­nant continued. Whisnant felt litis was all the result of conditioning.

Recently, the Far Eastern Gallery of the Los Angeles County Museum ol Art was threatened wi th a proposal lor SIgnificant reduction of gal­lery space. "So what'!" some may ask. "Museums are for the wealthy and the cultural types anyway"

Yet, these same people are usually those who fill the air with various discussions OD

· ' the technological culture" 01'

" the post-industrial society" or among the younger gener­ation, rap on the "A merasian cu lture" or " alternative life­styles." They speak of culture and yet exhibit ambivalence if not antipathy to cultural institulions.

An undel'standmg then of precisely what is meant by the general concept of "culture" becomes pertinent.

May J submH for considera­tion the definition of culture as "creation through fJ'eedom and facilities (or the origina­tion , expression, testing and f"uition of ideas be they aesthetic, SCientific or social." It is buill upon an intricate and precarious web Of human relationships both past and present and an important fac­tOl' is the inheritance, accept­ed or rejected, of each gen ­eration.

A fact that became appar­ent during our discussions w ith the Museum administra­tion, however, was the serious lack of communication and support from the Asian Amer­ican commuinty.

The Museum administratioD seems very little support of any substance from our com­munit~·. It is this kind 01 fa ult on OlU' part that creates a climate that allows such pro­posals as the "rearrangement" of the Far Eastern Gallery to be made. It is this kind o( fault thaI makes the Museum seem so remote

It we are to have the Mu­seum not only as a valuable resource 01 our community but also one that properly dis­plays the contributions made by Asian cultures to tbe beD­efit of all cultures, we must become acUve participants in tho Museum's program.

We must make it truly a people's faci lity

It then is incumbent upon us first to be<::ome members of th. Museum.

The Hawaiians have en­gaged Attorney Tom Gill, for· mer Lt. Gov., as cble! spokes­man. Their attitude toward Gill , who is no-part Hawailan, Is that of the ancient patrician Romans \oward a clever Greek slave: though he Is be­neath them, they have no scruple in availing tbemselves of his talents.

Perhaps they are able to ra­tionalize the seeming incon­sistency of engaging a no·part Hawaiian to oust another DO­

part HawaUan on the ground that Gill is American. Taka­bukl is Officially Identified as of foreign nationality.

BOOKSHELF 'Operation Olympic'

LIGHTE R THAN A FEATHER (Little, Brown, $7 .• 95) by David Westheirner Is a fast-paced novel based on the supp05IUon that the Uni­ted States did not drop the atomic bomb In 1945 and in­stead Invaded the bome is­lands ot J apan. Tbe story is based on "Operation Olym­pic", the massive invasion plan to capture the southern Up of Kagoshima.

Cbaracters J apanese and American tell their stories, without so much as .. break of chapters throughout t he 400-page novel. Some ot the people who make up the c a s~

are a KamIkaze cadet p ilot, a war·happy Am er I c a n marksman. a pretty J apanese gtrl, a U.S. cbaplaln assistant and an aged Japanese.

Through the pages ot Jour­net! Beyond Samarkand ride the conquering Arabs ot the 8th century, Genghls Kahn, Tarnerlane, Ba bur, and many o the r personages. Russian trO,Ops occupied the area In 1868, making the region part ot the Russian empire, and it Is In the Soviet Union !o­day.

Steeped In European lore, but uninlormed about the geography or h istory of Asia, the average Western r eader may find the many place and personal names ot the narra­tive confusing. But Inoue will skilifully lead him through the maze and bring him home with his knowledge of the re­gion considerably enhanced.

Though he disclaims being either an amateur or profes­slQll81 historian, the author kIIows his subject. He Imbues tile information he Impart. .,nth the pulse of lite and In­Ceres!. The scenery of the re­gion, the heroic theme, evoke the best In his loyle. The book Is well·wrltten and well­tr aos l ~ted.

To bring thtS mOre to home. t.he minorities in this country are treated In much the JIIJIl. way this country treats non­white cowltrie.. The whites are the superiors and the minorities 81.. the inreriors. The schools. Churches. busi­ness and all the social. eco­nomic and potitical instilu­tions are built and maintained to perpetuate the s y st. m whicb i. controlled by white people.

U a nonwhite is to succeed. he must do so at the beck and call oC the white people, but. his climb up the ladder is regulated and limited by what Ibe white society will tolerate, which at this time is extreme­ly guarded and limited. . . .

has becoming Increasingly evident to me that some major changes are in order if JACL is to continue its stride toward meaningful services for its member­ship. We have only begun to come to grips "ith the gross inadequacies in manpower and finances needed to mount the kinds of relevant activities we have pro­posed.

Does this mean that the new organizational system we instituted a year ago; mainly the executive com. mittee concept, has already become obsolete? Does it mean that our goals are too ambitious and are beyond the reach of our limited finances? Are we trying to apply what is still basically the "old system" to in. novative programs?

Is the well running dry?

FroIn the point of view ot the nonwhite people. the 1Jl­fluence has always been Ihat of a superiot (the United Slales) to that of an inferior (the nonwhite countries around the world). Politically. socially. economically. philo· sophically. the atlitude aud behavior of this country in dealing with nonwhite people has histortcally been to look down and speak down to non­wh ites. This, in spite or the iacl Ihe cultul·es of many of these COlmtries are rich and steeped with traditions tbal Car exceed tbe history of this country, in fact, by thousands of years.

I am deeply perturbed about the growing frustra. tions among our leadership and membership. the seem. ingly disproportionate allocation of funds to support our various projects and commitments. the allegations that the personal involvement of a relative few reflects a disinterested. or perhaps disencbanted, membership.

There appears to be minimal positive cbanges in the internal operations of JACL despite the recent changes in the organizational structure. In fact. it may well be that the situation bas become aggravated.

HEADQUARTERS REVISITED

It's incredible, but it's been three years when we last visited National JACL Headquarters in San Fran. cisco though PC assignments have taken us into the San Francisco Bay area several times since then. Were jt not for the Planning Commission scheduling supper i.n the City, another year would have passed.

Believe us, t he So. Calil. JACL Office and PC Of. fice combined are much more commodious . And that is what has b~th ered. the Nat ional JACL leadership who. realize tlus and l1ghtfully hope the situation can be Iproyed. There have been refurbishment plans for National Headquarters in the past so it was un. foruna te some community considerations were not taken to have JACL ensconced in the modern Japan Center across the street.

Though it is a decision of the Natioual Council to designate the city where National Headquarters should be lo~ated , the National Board is on record recom­mendlllg a change to Los Angeles. more specifically the Japane e . ~ultural and. Community Center. a $3.000.000 faCIlity proposed In the heart of the Little Tokyo redevelopment project.

Administratively. Headquarters and PC being to. gether agai.ll. will expedite paper work and add to our overall effiCIency. Though the Planning Commission hasn't had a chance to study this aspect the task of ke~plng track of the individual membe~ships is one w hl ~h b.oth Headqual:ters ' ~nd PC share constantly. PC IS still the only dIrect liuk between National and the membership and it makes sense for National and PC to be as close as possible.

Though we ru·e not addressing ourseilles now to the merits of retaining Headquarters at San Francisco tllere . are eno\lgh arg':lments in favor to make thi~ question. a maJor cons!deration at the 1972 ational Convention. Cost studIes rather tban emotional ties may probably decide the issue.

BUI Defealed

In short, the Cory Bill would destroy th e UFWOC, which is exacUy its intent. Fann workers are vehemently opposed w this bill. Their op­position was demonstrated when 3,000 frumworkers went to Sacramento on July 7. the day the bill was temporarily defeated. The J ACL Central Calitornia District Council. by ,-upporting the Cory Bill. fav­ors the privileges of grower'S over against the rights of lab· orers.

Double Standarclll

For some reason. people in this count.ry believe the value o! a nonwhite life is not as great as a white life. In WID',

if a white man, woman or child is killed. maimed or in­iured. there is gl'eat concern of war atrocities committed by nonwhite people. But, on the oUlel' hand

J it nonwhite

men, women and children are killed. mained or injured, peo· pie in this counu'Y pass it off by saying "wal' is war and everything goes. n

The.re ru:e differences or. opinion of experts as to the necessity of dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. But why, within a lew' days, or Nagasaki? Again . why on a cities where it is known there arc innocent women and children, by the tbousands?

The bombings and destTuc­tion in Korea are legend81'Y. Now. in Vietnam. death and desUuction of women and children and land f81· exceeds everythillg that happened in Korea. Tbe death and devasta­tion that has occurred in Asia in the last 30 years cannot be compared with any other wars ally-where in the history of mankind. With tbe great ad­vancements in science and technology, whole communi­ties can be wiped out in a matter of a few minutes. This, literally, is what has hap­pened.

The emergence of innovative projects bave added vigor and lile to JACL. But these projects have also revealed the inadequacies of our present system. What is the answer to our dilemma?

• • It K my feeling that the answer lies in the estlb.

lishment of a different organizational system which assw'es the continuous development of innovative pro­grams and, at the same time, provides greater oppor. tunity for purposeful involvement of the general mem­bership.

I propose the creation of a Federated Plan as op­posed to what I would call our present United Plan. The objective of the Federated Plan would be to pro­vide greater autonomy for each district to develop and carry out activities and programs which are unique to the area it services. Each district would be allocated funds to carry out these programs under the super. vision of an assigned National staff person. Program priorities would be the responsibility of the District Board.

This. then. would permit the National Office to focus its major attention on activities and programs which have National significance.

National staff would provide organizational con. sultation services for the districts. develop educational and promotional materials for use by chapters, and serve as technical advisors to districts on special prob­lems, such as work with drug abuse. the aged. Asian American studies, econOmically and educationally dis. advantaged, and such relevant issues that are rural. oriented.

The Federated Plan would place greater respon. sibility on local chapters, through representation on policy·making District Boards, to identify needs, de­tennine priorities, and sustain the District sponsored programs.

I am aware that such a Plan raises many un. answered questions. Wllat consh'aints, if any, should the National Board place on the District Boarlb in terms of position statements. time limited projects, etc. How much funds 1V0uld each District be allocated.

Would the matching funds concept be an effective meallS of assuring greater participation and involv&­ment of Disbicts and their representative chapters?

Your comments are most welcome. U vou feel the proposed plan would weaken the organization. add to an already frustrating situation. or serve only to com­plicate and already difficulty system of financial man­agement, I would appreciate your candid comments.

BUI I think it is a h81·der and more noble response to refuse to be satisfied with in·" dividual success when the large number of people o[ minority groups still suffer unfairly. I'm glad to see the JACL in some ways actively putting into practice the i r philosophy.

There are many reasons for W81·S, but among the two most important are economics and racism. In tbe vast lands of Asia. Africa, and South Amer­ica, the yet untapped natural resources of this world are waiting to be converted for the benefit or destruction of mankind. Exploitation of non­wb..it.e co u n t r i e s by white cowltl'ies is documented in the cluonicles of history written by Ihe white mall gloriously e>'"pounding the virtues of the white man and just as vici­ously wiping out the heathen beliefs and cultures of the nonwhites.
