CoIum n S Right

A few behind the scenes" remarks
may be in order, however, since we
were one of the few who voted for
the proposal to abrogase Nisei Me-
mortal Day.
The proposal to eliminate the Oct
ober 30 observance originated in the
Nisei Veterans Committee of the
JACL. which was under the chair
manShip of Joe Saito. a 32-year-old
veteran from Snake River. Idaho
and also chairman of the Inter
mountain District Council Other
members Of the committee. all vet
Grams, were: Hiyoshi Imoto, Tulare;
Harry Honda, Los Angeles; George
Masunaga, Denver; Tut Yada, Los
Angeles; and your reporter, Seattle.
All recommendation of the COM
mittee were approved by the Nat
ional Council, with the exception of
the recommendation concerning Nj
sci Memorial Day Among the ap-
proved proposals were recommended
tions that the committee confine
itself to liaison activities between
he JACL and veterans group, and
that the committee should not act
as self-appointed spokesman for
Nisei veterans. but only as a go
between"
The committees recommendation
on Nisei Memorial Day was made
after extended discussion and was
unanimous, a point which seemed to
escape many of the official delegates
of the National Council The value
Of Nisei Memorial Day as a propa-
ganda weapon. especially in connec-
ion with the Walter Resolution, was
however apparently the deciding fac
tor in the vote to retain it as a day
If observance.
If the Walter Resolution is passed
in the near future as appears likely,
We predict that NiSei Memorial Day
will either die a natural death or
will be formally abrogated at the
1852 National Convention. In the
meantime, the main observance of
the occasion will be held at Wash
ington, d. c., with chapter obser-
vance to be in such manner as
favored by local sentiment.
There will be no observance in

Causes of friction and conflict; 2.
Efforts for elimination of these
causes; 3. Survey of the actual
situation of international tensions;
4. The Cold War and its problems.
In the course of the discussion,
the controversial question arose as
to which is the real democracy, the
so-called Peoples government OF the
East, or the Democracy Of the West.
1t was pointed out that the big ques-
ZION was the position of the individ-
ual in these two systems, and Whe-

emphasis is on meeting the peoples

Q JACL-ADC OFFICE FOR
SEATTLE

As a result of the recent JACL
National Convention, the Pacific
Northwest can have, for the first
time, an ADO regional office Ito be
located in Seattle which will enable
Mike Masaoka's Washington, D. G.
office to give better and more eff
cient service to the Pacific North
west. At the same time, the regional
office, being closer to the situation
should be able to handle many local
JACL-ADC problems at the source,
thus leaving the Washington office

which are OF national interest rather

The appropriation of 81 300 per

between actual expenses and the

up by the regional area concerned.
which in this case will be the area
served by the Pacific Northwest Dis

1t is not expected that a regional
office will be set up in Seattle in the
very near future, since discussion
and negotiation must necessarily
precede the taking of any definite
action. If a regional office is not
Immediately set up for one reason
or another, the appropriation may
be used for other proper purposes,
such as requesting national Ado per-
sonnet to visit the Pacific Northwest
area, in which case their expenses
should be paid by the local area
which makes the request.
1t may be interesting to note that,
while the new Pacific Northwest re-
gional office was approved by the
Ado Budget Committee. the propo-
sal to eliminate the New York re-
gional office met with so much OPP
position from the eastern delegates
that stalemate was threatened. A
satisfactory compromise was worked
out, however, whereby all existing
regional offices could be continued
and a new office in Seattle set up
without changing the Ado budget of
S104,500, by reducing the appropria-
tions for some of the larger regional
offices in order that New York might

With this compromise the ADO bud
get was approved by the National
Council of the JACL, after incorpo-
rating a few other minor changes
from the figures suggested by the

When names become traditions,
sometimes the personality behind the
name is lost. We've come to asso-
ciate "Astor" with diamond tiaras
instead of boy who ran away from
butcher shop in Germany to be-
come one of our early entrepeneurs.
John Jacob Aston, that boy, had
tremendous plans for the expansion
of fur trade on the Pacific-a dream
which, although partially realized,
had only mortal men fighting terri
fic obstacles to carry it out. For
years after the Astor-s sponsored land
and sea expeditions to the Columbia,
in 1811-1812, Astor felt himself a
misunderstood man. He told Wash
ington Irving that the extent and
Importance of this enterprise were
unknown. Could Irving tell the story
of Astoria So that the public would
know the magnitude of the plan
that did not quite succeed? Irving
could, and did. 1t was 1886 when
Astoria was first published, creating
in Fasteners a stir of interest in
the wild Northwest. Bindords &
Mort have just published with big
type and SO pictures. new edition
OF Astoria-still a fine book after
ia years.
