Pros and Cons
On US. Aid

WASHINGTON, d. c.. April %
James NARROW. Associated Press cor
respondent, this week listed a few
arguments for and against federal
aid to education now raging in the
Senate.
"For--Private SCHOOLS take the
burden off public schools and
should get some help. But even so.
st-Southerners, nut not
all, have opposed any federal law
that insisted such money should be
spent equally for whites and Me-
groes.
"For-Negroes are citizens. just
as white men are. and pay taxes
and are entitled to an equal share
in the benefits from federal money.
"Against-All citizens would have
to pay for such help through the
taxes imposed on them. But some
states put more money into educa-
ton than others. Why should citi-
zens in those states have to pay
taxes to help the children of tax
payers in the states with poorer ed
ucation?"

MarikO Mukai
Set for Debut

NEW YORK CITY, N. Y, April
22-Recovering from her recent cold
which forced her to postpone her
scheduled recital on March 16, Ma
riko Mukai, Seattle-born soprano,
today was reported ready to appear
with Brooks Smith at the piano In
a recital debut at $3.50 p. m. Sat
urday, April 26, in Town Hall.
Miss Mukai sang major roles with
the Lyric Opera Group of Seattle
while she was still in her teens. At
ter one OF her appearances in THE
Barber of Seville" the Seattle Times
wrote:
"Mariko Mukai, who sings the
difficult role of Rosini, has a color
atura voice of great loveliness-as
smooth and light as pearls on vel
vet. Already a star by all the ca
mons of professional excellence,
within year she could well be a
national sensation"
The Nisei came East in 1o41 and
was awarded a fellowship for four
successive years to the Julliard
Graduate School where she sang
leading roles in the schools annual
operate events.

1t necessary to intercede when the
punishment became too severe.
There are Nisei who carry with
them scars of burns by "mogusa'
IS a form of punishment.
With the children attending
school and associating with haiku
jim schoolmates, many prevailing
forms of Western culture gradual
ly seeped in to modify the strict
notion of family life to which the
Issei parents subscribed
As the Nisei grew up, and the
Issei grew old, partial infirmity
forced the Issei to relinquish their
tight control on all family matters.
But attendance at cooperative ber-
ry growers association meetings
and the like were attended mainly
by the Issei and rarely by even
grown-up sons.
Evacuation came at time
when the Nisei were not quite in
control, but with educational and
cultural advantages, they far
outstripped their parents i'm adapt
Ing to new environments.
In any event the Nisei with
their advantage of younger age and
education and new taste of free
dom" have shown that they too are
capable. The authoritarian pater-
nally-controlled family may still ex-
list in the sugar beet farms but in
the urban areas the Issei are losing
ground fast.
The newly-wed Nisei couples are
essentially following the general
trend of companion-type marriage
and developing into the democratic
family. The Sansei will be a far
different group and something tells
me they won't be as maladjusted as
their parents.

I am tempted to look back as

japanese family has played in shap-
ing Nisei personalities will be diff
ferent in the future.
The rural family with its multi
pie offspring formed the backbone
of the berry growing farmers of
the lower Fraser alley. Perhaps 1t
did so because, and this is almost a
100 per cent truth, children were an
economic asset. It was only in the
very early ages, the pre-school per-
iod, that many mouths to feed pre-
sented a difficult task to the par
ents. With the passing of the years,
however, it was TO see these parents
prosper. Children from young
age could do, and did, almost a
mans job in the busy season.
The father was practically,
in every case, the lord and mas
ter of the family. He held the
purse strings, decided the policy
of the family, and doIed out any
necessary money to the mother
for her household expenses. Such
thing as a conference among
all the members of the family to
decide on family matters was
practically unknown.
Discipline in its severest forms
was administered by the father.

ORDER CHANGE
In JAPANESE
SCHOOL PLAN

TOKYO, April 22-The Allied Fal
Eastern Commission this week or.
dered a shakeup of the japanese
educational system to do away with
the teaching of military subjects
and Emperor worship.
Along with this directive aim
ed at the core of Japan's tradi-
tional militarism, the 11-nation
commission forwarded to Gen.
DOugas Macarthur, supreme Al
lied commander in Japan, a policy
statement urging that the future
education of Japanese youth be
considered as preparation for the
social and political responibiIi-
tiles Of democracy.
The Allied body recommended a
permanent ban on all Japanese
teachers whose records show them
to be pronounced opponents of I'LL
tra-nationalistic, militaristic or TO-
talitarian ideas"
Teaching of ultra nati0naIism
state Shintoism. generation of the
Emperor, exaltatiOn of the state
over the individul, and race SUI
periority should be eliminated
from the education system" the
FEC stated.
1t added that foreign books
should be made available to Japa-
nese teachers.
The directive, which is subject to
MacArthur's discretion as supreme
occupation commander, also recon-
mended that the educational re-
form be left insofar as possible 10
the japanese themselves.
1t suggested a scale of teachers

ment and development of modern

Hopes Wane
For FEPC

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April %
Chances that the fair employment
practices commission bill will be
passed in the Minnesota legislature
are slim, it was indicated in re-
ports from st. Paul today.
The FEPC has been Endorsed by
Gov. Luther w. Youngdahl.
Youngdahl's FEPC bill calls for
an appropriation of $4,000 but pre-
sent indications are moves are under
way in the legislature to slash deep
er into the governors program.
The governor this week fought for
his FEPC bill on his regular radio
program.
The House FEPC bill managers
are trying to pull the meaure from
the labor committee which last
week rejected the proposal.
A floor request to withdraw the
bill from the committee, however,
requires unanimus consent and
that is not likely to be forthcom-
ing.

Rev. BurgOyne

The Rev. w. Sherman Burgoyne,
pastor of the Asbury Methodist
church in Hood River, Greg, spends
two hours each DAY answering the
hundreds of letters piling up on his
desk, in response to his courageous
stand against the Hood River AM
crican Legion in their cruel cam
paign of persecution against the
Nisei-Japanese Americans, as re-
corded in the Readers Digest of
November, and other magazines and
papers over the world.
Rev. Mr.. Burgoyne states in ev-
cry letter that the attack against
Christianity and Americanism hap
pcned to come on the line the Hood
River Methodist Is holding. That
the next attack may come almost
anywhere, even where the writer of
the letter lives. He chargest people
to be faithful and stand against in
justice and hatred, even though
they stand alone. Determination, in
tolerance and injustice are not iso-
lated phenomena and those who are
prejudiced because of race, color or
creed, stand against every Christian
principle, and are anti-American.
Prejudice in Hood River is only
one sector of battle line that rea-
ches every community in America
Hatred of Jews and Negroes Is as
real as that OF the japanese Amcri-
cans. It waits only the proper in
cident' to bring it to the surface.
Every one of lis should be ready to
speak when it is necessary, to make
the stand of Christ and Christianity
before a pagan world order. Let
man only try to be a Christian, and
the whole world Is astounded

AGENCY SEEKS
RENEWAL OF
SILK TRADE

The United States Commercial
company, government agency, is
pushing a campaign to recreate a
consumer interest in silk products
and obtain cash toward defraying
Army's Japanese Occupation costs,
1t was learned today.
More than 1000 boIes Of raw
silk have yet to be disposed Of in
the United States and Japan, and
the U.S.C.C. is contemplating a
further reduction in prices of this
commodity to take effect in Au-
gust after the expiration of pre-
sent government gurantees of
price levels.
Before World War II, Seattle had
an enormous silk trade. The Nip
pom Yusen Kaisha liner Kaga Maru
arrived here on September 8, 1927,
from Japan with a record break
ing shipment of 1900 bales valued
at $7,300,000 or $1,000 a bale. Many
other vessels brought silk cargoes
to this port for transhipment east
in the years prior to World War II.
In pre-war days, raw silk was
rushed to the silk mills in New
Jersey in special express trains
given right of way over all other
traffic because OF the high insur-
ance rates.
Falling off in the consumer de-
nand for silk resulted from the
change to chemical fibers during
the war. Weavers say what is need
ed is an intensive campaign to find
new uses for silk in which the en-
ployment will be far more prac-
tical and Desirable than any of the
chemical fibers.
