Springs Groups
Sponsor Projects

Two campus clubs at the College
of st. Mary of the Springs are
sponsoring projects to secure new
equipment for their departments.
The. Science Club, under the
presidency of Patricia Nizen, New
Haven, Conn, has already pur-
chased ray-o-scope for ST. Albert's
Hall. Designed for use in all
science fields, the ray-o-scope pro-
jects the mAgnified image from an
inverted microscope upon screen.
The purchase of this new piece
of equipment was made possible
by the publication of a two-year
birthdated calender by the Science
Club. Birthdays and feastdays of
students and faculty are listed, as
are dates of meetings and assem-
blies. The calendar will appear on
Jan. !, 1854.
The Home Economics Club, head
ed by Adrianne Carroll, st. Clairs-
vile, o., will conduct sale of
stuffed animals during the Christ

new washing machine for the Home
Economics Apartment. The seniors
in the Home Furnishings class are
also doing upholstering on some
of the furnishings in the apartment.

S2.25.
A group of young children. VIC
tins of q disaster, are brought to
an island in the South Pacific and
are reared without any religious
knowledge through the efforts Of a
wealthy seaman, Mr.. MCLEAN. At
ter his death, when the children
have grown to maturity, his son ar
riyes on the island with representa-
tives of several religious groups
and an agnostic. These people in
quire extensively into the religious
beliefs, if any, acquired by the is
landers. This unique situation re-
wolves around the belief that man
instinctively can grasp the funda-
mentals of the true religion. The
islanders reveal this to be true,
showing the deficiencies in such
beliefs as agnosticisrn and Luther
anism.

by Shirley Graham; Julian Mess
ner. Inc, New York, 1853.
This is an adventurous and ex-
citing biography of the Haitian Ne.
gro founder of Chicago, Jean Bap-
tiste Pointe De Sable. Although lit
tie is mentioned about him In
American history books, he has
played an important role in the
development of the United States
both before and after the Revolu-
tionary War. He established indus
trious trading posts along the Mis-
sssippi, did his best to stop Indian
wars, and became friends with
such figures as Pontiac, Daniel
Boone and Tecumseh. This book is
truly credit to one of the great
est Negroes who ever lived.

A new spirit of Christmas is
being generated in this country, a
spirit of reverence and faith that
emphasizes the religious nature of
the season and attempts to coun-
teract the commercialism that has
pervaded it for too man, years.
In order to bring this thought
more forcibly to the attention of
the people in the Columbus Dio-
cese, the program for the quarter
ly meeting of the Central Deanery
of the Diocesan Council of Catholic
Women has been planned around
the thought of Keeping Christ
in Christmas"
The meeting will be held at st.

The Cradle Song
To Be Presented
Bv OSU Students

The tender and deyoutly pious
play, "The Cradle Song" will
be presented at the University
Theater for eight nights, Dec. 4
through the 18th.
Written by Gregorio and Maria
Martinez Sierra in 1911, 'The
Cradle Song" has been endorsed
by the Catholic World. The Rosary
has this to say about it: " The
Cradle Song, stands almost alone
among the plays of recent years
as one that is primarily Catholic
in inspiration and motivation"
Within a simple framework, the
authors have told charming and
amusing story. The story takes
place at a convent in Spain and
as the play begins, the birthday of
the prioress is being celebrated.
In the midst of the fete, the
bell of the convent door rings. No
one is at the gate but there is a
basket containing baby girl and
a note asking that this infant be
brought up as a child of God.
The presence of the infant
causes some extraordinary changes
in the lives of the nuns who, as
the child grows to young woman
hood, lavish much love and ten
derness upon her.
The play, under the direction of
Everett M. Schreck, is cast entire
ly with students of Ohio State Uni
verSity.
The theaer is located in the
basement of Derby Hall on Ohio
States campus. All performances
begin at 800 pm, and there will
be no performance on Sunday.
Tickets may be mail ordered or
reserved at the theater's box of
flee in Derby Hall. General ad-
mission is S1.20; students (high
school and college) tickets are 60c.

The Northwest times. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1947-1955, 1953-01-17
BY RICHARD AKAGI

In the past few weeks, two able
and obviously articulate dissidents.
DR.. S. I. Hayakawa and Togo Tana-
ka, have squared away against the
JACL ADO in public print They
do not see eye to eye with the JACL
ADO on the new immigration and
Nationality Act. The JACL ADO
holds that the act marks a definite
advance over the situation which
existed. On the other hand, DR..
Hayakawa is certain that the act is
almost totally bad. Mr. Tanaka is
inclined to agree with the semanti-
cist from the University of Chicago.
Both DIR. Hayakawa and Togo Ia
naka, in so many words, have accus-
ed the JACL Ado of selling the
cause of discrimination short.
The most recent criticism comes
from Togo Tanaka Mr.. Tanaka is
soft-spoken, unfailingly courte-
Gus gentleman, and a stout person
with the pen The issue he raises
is one of morality He charges the
JACL leadership with not having "a
sense of guilt" in endorsing a legis-
lation which has so much bad for
so many others.
DR.. Hayakawa, too, quoted in Ia
naka's article, questions the moral
grounds" on which the JACL fought
for the passage of the Walter-Mc-
Carran Act.
Morality like heaven, is not easy
OF definition. Every person feels
both to be good but sometimes is at
a loss to enumerate their exact pro-
perties.
All right what moral justification
is there for the JACL ADCs stand
on the Walter McCarran Act?
Any moral judgment presumes
that alternative courses of conduct
are open The presence of choice
determines the moral rightness or
wrongness of any given action.
The question then is; What alter
natives did the JACL have, other
than to support the Walter Car
ran Bill?
First of all. let us examine the
ccnteXt out of which came the WAL

ter McCarran Act.
What was the Congressional stu
alton? The 82nd Congress, which
enacted the Walter McCarran Bill,
was dominated by coalition of Re-
publicans and Southern Dixiecrats.
This was the Congress which with
out ceremony killed FEPC, low-cost
public housing, Hawaiian statehood,
federal rent control and other pro-
gressive legislation. This was the
Congress whose composition was
virtually the same as the one which
overwhelmingly approved the Inter
nal Security Act of 1850
In short the 82nd Congress was
exceedingly conservative. The JACL
Ado guessed, and in this case right
ly, that Congress would not become
liberal in the immediate future.
What about the bill? The Walter
McCarran Act is essentially codi-
fication of piecemeal legislation, da-
ting back to 1902, on the subject of
immigration and naturalization
Therefore, all provisions in the In
ternal Security Act which related to
immigration and naturalization
were codified into the new law.
Practically all the criticisms of the
Walter McCarran Act have been
focused on the Internal Security
Act provisions, which would have
remained in effect whether the Wal
ter-McC arran Bill became law or
not
The second general point of attack
by the critics is the National Origins
Principle in the Walter Nc arran
Act. The presence of the National
Origins Principle in the act has
been urged, by the President in his
veto message and later by the pre-
sidential candidates, as one of the
chief reasons for repudiating the
law.
To refresh your memory-Sena-
tors Herbert Lehman and Hubert
Humphrey and Congressman Fran
kiln Roosevelt, who spearheaded the
Congressional opposition to the
Walter McCarran Bill, retained the
National Origins Principle in the
substitute measure which they in
troduced They recognized the pre-
sent impossibility of abolishing the
National Origins Principle from our
immigration system.
Despite noteworthy liberalizations
in it, we knew that the Humphrey
Lehman Roosevelt Bill sstood abso-
lutely no chance of passage The
bill was completely contrary to pre-
vailing Congressional temper. Sub
sequent events bore out our iudg-

In error.
Also the third and fourth alterna-
tives had serious limitations other
than those already discussed
The prime beneficiaries of equal

The Issei are now on the average
we'll into their sixties. Time is
running out on them. They cannot
wait
In addition, the JACL ADO has a
moral obligation to the Issei The
Issei have been the most earnest
supporters of the JACL ADO pro-
gram. The hopes and needs of the
Issei constitute the very heart of our
enterprise. The JACL Ado in all
fairness to the Issei could not sit by,
philosophically juggling platitudes
about liberalism" and Justice.
Moreover. as Nisei We owe clear
responsibility to do what we can for
the Issei during their lifetime The
erasure of the statutory stigma at
tached to tho Issei in the phrase
racial ineligibility" would be with
out significance if it were to come
in the underlined future.
The present happy situation of the
Nisei has as its foundation a gene
ration Of sacrifice by the Issei. We
would be ungrateful indeed if we
had failed to do our utmost to wrest
from Congress recognition of their
worth and their contributions to the
country of their adoption
The strange pOstIude to this fight
on the Walter Nc Carran Act is that
the objections to the JACL ADC's
part in the enactment of the law
comes from the Nisei, and not from
our one-time opponents.
In this instance. persons who OPP
posed us have a clearer perception
OF the JACL AIDES motivations
than some of our Nisei friends.
When this writer appeared before
the Presidents Commission on I'm
migration and Naturalization, he
was chided by the chairman. the
former Solicitor General of the u
'nited States-Philip Perlman-for
being selfish" in supporting the
Walter-McCarran Act.
The vice chairman Earl Harrison
amended the chairman's remarks
by saying, Perhaps justifiable self
isl1ness."
To which Commissioner Thaddeus
Gullixson very kindly added: 'Mr.
Chairman, inasmuch as the witness
started out by saying that he found
himself in a double minority. might
it not be we'll to call attention to the
fact that he is in decided MAORI
ty when he thinks of the interests of
his own antecedent group. There
have been two exceptions in all OF
the hearings that I have attended
where so-called nationality groups
haven't thought primarily concern
ing their own"
so, sir" said Commissioner Gull
lixson turning to the writer. you
are quite in a majority"
To summarize: we believe that the
JACL ADO had only one real course
of action open to it. The JACL ADO
took it. We believe that JACL ADO
decision was governed by definite
moral considerations.

To illustrate: each time the Hum
phrey-Lehman-R Roosevelt boys NOV
ed to introduce key provision for
inclusion to the Walter Nice arran
Bill, they were beaten down by a
margin running from 3 to l, to 5 to
l, depending on the number of men
on the floor at the time-the larger
the attendance, the larger the mar
gin of defeat
At this point, then, the JACL
Ado was faced with four alterna-
tives:
U to fight for the Walter Bill,
providing simply equality in natura-
IizatiOn;
e. to work in the more cOntr0-
versial context of the Walter-Mc-
Carran Bill in an effort to get the
most out Of a generally negative 81
tuation:
90 to oppose the Walter Nc
Carran Bill, as some of our friends
wanted us to do, on the grounds that
it would be better to have no legis-
latiOn than to secure the Walter
McCarran measure; or
"a to do nothing practically
constructive but wait and hope that
Congress more sympathetic to an
"ideap bill would come into being
sooner or later.
Let us take the alternatives in
their order.
Cd There was no way to get the
simple Walter Bill The Senate Ju-
dietary Committee was determined
to push for the omnibus immigra-
ton and naturalization measure
which contained equality in natura-
lization as one of its provisions.
The Senate Judiciary Committee
would not and did not report the
Walter Bill out of committee. In re-
cognition of this state of affairs, not
even the Humphrey-Lehman bloc
in the Senate tried to secure consi-
deration of equality in naturaliza-
ton as a single issue.
The Walter Bill actually was a
false alternative. 1t was an alter
native that did not exist. The gate
| was closed even before the fight
started
The JACL ADO, as is public know
ledge now, chose the second alter
native of working for the omnibus
Walter McCarran Bill on the con-
lotion that 1t was vitality important
to establish in American immigra-
ton and naturalization law basic
principle putting Asians on an equal
footing with the Europeans. In q
sense, 1t was salvage operation. II
the Internal Security Act had not
been on the books then JACL Ado
undoubtedly would have viewed the
matter differently. But since a ge-
nerally restrictive situation already
was obtained. we believed that some
good should be brought into being
The third alternative of flatly op-
posing the Walter McCarran Bill
the JACL ADO regarded as totally
negative and in many ways fires
ponsible There was nothing to be
gained except the satisfaction of de-
nouncing a state of affairs which
priority existed and would continue
to exist
The fourth and last alternative
of hopeful waiting, the JACL Ado
discarded as wishful thinking. There
has been nothing I'd indicate that
our appraisal of this alternative was
