pate such a similar situation deve-
Looping in Japan. And may I again
stress the immediate need for a
moral alliance between these two
Pacific nations. Also, would like to
stress the need for a universal Ian
guage for building a better under
standing between our two nations.
All the kindnesses that Americans
are now bestowing upon the Japan
csc are not altogether understood
because of this language barrier. In
my opinion. the japanese language
is not an adequate media to further
the idea of democracy. The world
has become so small that it is now
imperative that we create some sort
of universal language.
On the question of peace for Jap
IN. minds are divided. There are
many in Japan who advocate all
around peace; naturally, this would
be the best answer but this is impos-
sible under the present condition of
the world. AS I see the situation,
Japan cannot alone maintain Pacific
peace or even her internal peace
without American help. I feel that
| the United Nations is ideally the
best organization to maintain the
| territorial integrity of Japan after
| the Occupation but the present con-
dition of the United Nations as it is
cons ituted appears to make this but
a nebulous hope, if not an impossible
task. AS the record stands. some
powers refuse to accept a majority
/ decision and resort to use of their
veto power. We of Japan know some
thing of this arbitrary attitude OF
Russia. The record shows the unfor-
ltunate fact that the Soviet has taken
lmany of our people for five years
and not only used them as forced
I!aborers but has trained them with
the prospect of bringing about q
Icivil war in Japan These are facts
which make me feel that there is nj
way for Japan's future security ex-
cept TO ally itself by treaty witt
America and other democratic ma
| tions strong enough to guarantee hei
independence and freedom DURING
her period of rehabilitation.
Again. may I use this opportunity
to th9nk the people of America fol
their magnanimous handling of {
nation in defeat. Would that I weri
still Mayor Of Tokyo, if such was M

way to show the appreciation of TIT
people in Japan for your greatness o

and as rapidly as possible
Every year compounds the diff
ficulties of adiudicating claims. Al
ready the evacuation is eight years
distant Memories dim. Witnesses
die. Records are misplaced. The
program can only become more
involved and more costly To ad-
minister with the passage of time.
The greatest need is for a sub
stantial funds to administer the
program. to set up operating pro
cedures. open necessary field offices
around the country and appoint
agents who can visit claimants in
smaller communities in the United
States Alaska and Hawaii
Masaoka insisted it was the most
short sighted economy" to presume
that by limiting the amount which
may be spent in the next fiscal year
to a fraction of the total expendi-
lures which eventually must be
made, that any actual savings will
be effected From a common sense
standpoint, the sooner this program
is completed, the less will be the
otal cost"
MaSaOka said that II is estima-
ted II would cost between $4,000. 900
and S7,000,000 to operate the entire
program Thus, on the basis of n
quarter million dollars a year for
administrative funds, il would take
from Is to 25 years simply to pro-
cess claims"
Although testifying only on the
need for an increased administrative
budget, Masaoka also declared that
secondary reason for the pathetic
sloWness" of the claims program is
the increasing technical fashion in
which the Justice Department is adj
ministering It,"
He said the department is treat
ing claimants almost as though they
were adversaries in a court of law
We feel it was the intent of Con-
gress that in the evacuation claims
program. the Justice Department
should act as a friend of the court
in assisting claimants rather than
an adversary
He also criticized the department
for its inadequate knowledge and
| presentation of the need for a larger
administrative budget" when that
agency sent experts to testify before

Evacuation Claims Program May Last
From Is to 50 Years, MasaOka Fears

WASHINGTON. d. c.. May 81
(ADC)-Testifying before a Senate
Appropriations Subcommittee, Mike
Masaoka, national JACL Ado legis-
iative director, said today the eva
cuation claims program threatens to
drag out for the next 25 to so years.
Although almost "a 900 claims were
filed under the act to compensate
persons of Japanese ancestry for
personal and property losses suffered
when they were removed from the
West Coast, totalling approximately
Sl31.000 900. Masaoka said that TO
date, two years after passage of the
ct:
Fewer than 40 very small claims
have been adjudicated and paid
The present rate of adiudica-
ting claims is approximately one
week, and
If this rate of adjudication and
bfNhlNiil Ntlt blIl tdNtu Ntlllblu, II
still would take almost a half CEN
fury to complete the program
To speed up the claims program,
Masaoka urged that Congress double
the budget allotment for the fiscal
year 1851 for administering the act.
The Bureau of the Budget appro-
we'd a total claims budget for the
next fiscal year of SIS. 304 800 of
which $5000,000 was recommended
for claims payments. The House APP
propriations Committee reduced this
to a flat $4,000,000, of which 1t spe-
Gifted only $250.00O could be spent
for administrative purposes.
What we recommend" Masaoka
told the subcommittee, lis that the
$4, 900. 900 budget be allowed to stand
but the appropriations bill should be
amended to permit the expenditure
of 100000 for administrative funds
He said claims can be paid nc
faster than they are adiudicated We
consider it much more essential that
for at least the next year or two

Flood Loss Set
At $4,000 for
Canada Japanese

WINNIPEG. Manitoba. May 81
New Canadian Dispatch - Pro
perty loss and damage suffered by
Japanese Canadians by the overflow
ing of the Red River is estimated
TO be at least $4,000. This is the
approximate minimum cost to those
whose homes and farms were flood
ed in southern Manitoba and is cal
culated on what information we have
as the number of families that have
been forced to move as we'll as the
xtent of damage that they are be-
lieved to have sustained.
This Is merely an estimate of pro-
perty loss and does not take into
consideration the loss of employ
ment. the loss of time from employ
ment or the loss of profits that
would have been realized from the
sale of farm produce had there been
no flood.
Bob Hikida of the Manitoba JCCA,
in a letter to the National JCCA,
reports that approximately 25 Jap
anese families have been evacuated
from the Winnipeg district and he
estimates that the average cost to
them in loss of furniture and dam
age to homes would run about a
thousand dollars. This would place
the Winnipeg and suburbs toll of
Japanese Canadian loss at IS to 30
thousand dollars.
Although not nearly as many were
affected, those on farms further
south must have lost a great deal
more Flooding was greater. and
moreover. not only their homes but
also damage to their land, and the
loss of produce and livestock must
place their loss at higher figure.
Six families according to the in
formation on hand, were evacuated
from points south of Winnipeg
Three were from Emerson, two in
Morris and one in Letellier. With
flood waters apparently subsiding
and conditions generally becoming
static 1t can now be said that 80 OF
more japanese families have beer
directly affected by loss or damage
o their possessions Now their con-
Germ is when can they return tt
| their own homes again.

segregation in the National Guard
units, becoming the thirteenth
state to adopt a -discrimina-
tory policy in the National Guard,
is a forward step. We are proud of
the fact that General Stevens and
Governor Langlie have. on their
own initiative. made this impor-
tant contribution towards putting
democratic ideals into action.
There are IL other states which
have adopted the complete inte-
grafton policy for the National
Guard. They are: California, Michi-
gan, Oregon, Minnesota, New Jer-
sey, Connecticut, New York, Wis
consin, Illinois, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, and Pennsylvania. In
several of these states nOn-diS-
criminatory policy has been adop-
ted by means of state legislation
and we commend General Stevens
and Governor Langlie for bring
ing about the change of policy
voluntarily. Each step of this kind
brings us closer to the American
ideal where everyone regardless of
color, race or creed, may progress
and succeed according TO his own
strength, ability and character"

About one hundred years ago,
Commodore Perry visited the shores
of Japan and brought about the
opening of Japan's doors to not only
Western trade but to an understand
ing of the great strides that Western
civilization had made in the social,
political and economic fields. This
brought about a great awakening in
Japan and many material advances,
but with these material advances
came a blindness born of too fast
