Japanese Scrap
Worship System

Breakdown of the emperor-w
ship system in Japan will provide
an educational experience for visi-
tors as scientific plans are carried
through, Northwest Airlines Infor-
nation Bureau reports.
Scrapping of the idea of divinity
now makes it possible for archeolo-
gists to dig into the tombs of an
cestors of Japan's present ruling
house. Approval of the present en-
peror is indicated by the fact that
his younger brother, Prince Taxa
matsu, will be titular head of the
explorations.
One of the first projects will be
the excavation of a great mound
believed to be the burial place of
Emperor Nintoku, believed to have
reigned about 400 A. d. Scientists
believe they will find Korean relics
in the mound, among other objects,
because of the fact that horse-rid-
ing warriors from Korea invaded
Japan about that time.
AS the excavations expand, il is
expected that many tourists will b.
spectators to the work.

Lone Objection Of Georgia Scion
Kills Hopes for Walter Bill OK

Kilgore that, under previous agree
ment, the Senate would not call up
any bills for last minute action which
had been objected to on the pre-
vious day.
To do so for any one bill, it would
reopen the Senate to action on do
zens of other bills and could possibly
tie up the Senate for a considerable
time, Sen Lucas told Sen. Kilgore.
NonetheIess, despite the failure
of this last-minute attempt by the
acting chairman of the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee, Mike Masaoka,
national JACL ADO legislative di-
rector, said: 1--WE have some rea-
son to believe there will be no
objection to the measure when it
again comes before the Senate in
January"
Should there be, he pointed out
an effort will be made to get roll
call vote on the legislation. IT am

of vote, the Senate will pass the
measure with substantial majority.

not carry cards and will deny they
are Communists if asked
In addition to the Communists,
there are several hundred organi-
cations that have been officially
classed as affiliated or front" groups
for the Communists. All of them
are working heartily to discredit the
profit system, and to discredit pri-
vate ownership of property. When
nobody much is working to sell on
coming generations on our way of
life and this great army is working
against our way of life, it is easy to
understand why we are drifting dan
gerously.
False Leaders
In the third place, we have let
ourselves be fooled by shrewd poll
ticians. There are a great many of
our political leaders who are follow
ing the example of great master
politician who desired to be elected
again, and again. He knew how, too!
With both ears to the ground. these
present politicians conclude that the
gimme, gimme" crowd has the most
votes Accordingly. they chose to
travel the gimme" trail to power.
1t is that spirit which leads to
| demands for federal aid to public
schools in every state in the Union.
The same spirit urges socialized me-
dicine for all the people of the
nation 1t continues to advocate rent
| controls when all need for such
control has disappeared. You see,
there are votes to be had by making
some IL million families think the
government is giving them rent be-
low the market value.
Hold This Heritage
MY conviction is that unless the
present generation is resold on the
fundamentals of our way of life,
; JhJt SOCldllSul Will Dt IltTt WlCfliIl
another generation. With it will
come the deadening hand of bur
eaucracy that will retard our pro-
duction by at least so per cent This
lowered production could in turn
push down wages by SO per cent and
send our high living standards to
the bottom of the chart.
For the sake of our children's
children, it is exceedingly imperative
that We hold fast to the fundamen-
tails of our American heritage. Doing
so, we can go on upward, supplying
the guiding light to freedom loving
people who yet remain upon the
earth. The world can i'll afford to
have America lose her heritage IN
less we are willing to see to 1t
otherwise. the deadening hand of
stateism in America can usher in
another Dark Age!
The Northwest times. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1947-1955, 1949-10-26

Why is it that America is just one
national crisis away from state Soc
ialism? How is it that we have come
to this tragic place, despite the fact
that we have given to our people,
through the American productive
system, the highest standard OF lv-
ing that any section of the human
race ever knew? I would like to adj
vance what I think are three clear
cut reasons.
First, we have been too busy. No
body has instructed each oncoming
generation about the degree of our
achievements nor about the why of
our productive system. Nobody has
undertaken this task, our educa-
tional people least of all. No gener-
alton has ever failed so miserably
to teach it's traditions to its child
rem. The result is that we are grow
ing up a generation that does not
understand nor value our productive
system. We are therefore not dedi-
Gated to its preservation.

sizeable army working to destroy
our freedoms and liberties Besides

A SUCCESSFUL BAZAAR

round out the list of entries.
A SUCCESSFUL BAZAAR
While the complete financial re-
turns of the NVC Bazaar, held last
Sunday at Buddhist Church, will
not be available for some time, the
affair was complete success on all
counts from what this corTespon-
dent was able to observe and hear
Judging from the crowd which
filled the auditorium all afternoon
long, the way the stacks of wrapped
up sushi disappeared under the on
slaught of demanding customers, the
amount of food consumed in the
cafeteria by hungry patrons, and
the play given all the concessions by
the amusement-c conscious younger
element, it seems that comfort
able profit will be assured the NVC
to meet its annual budget.
Many favorable comments were
heard on the Veterans Souvenir
Display, which was under the dir
ection Of Albert Lefty" Ichihara.
The display was given a deserved
place of prominence on the stage
of the auditorium, and included Of
fetal maps of 442nd campaigns, a
"tie-in" of Nisei war dead and places
where they died, and many souve-
Mrs, such as rifles, pistols, swords,
coins and the like.
The NVC desires to express its
great appreciation to its members
who devoted their entire weekend
to the project; the women of the
Lotus Fujinkai and others who join
