Dirksen Again
Asks Dismissal OF
Yen Debt Claims

WASHINGTON tJACL) For
the second straight year, Sen EV-
erett M. Dirksen Or. HI has in
troduced his bill to void and dis
miss the so-called Japanese yen
debt claims, reported the Washing
ton office of the japanese Ameri-
can Citizens League
Senator Dirksen's current bill is
identical to the one he introduced
and which was passed by the Sen
ate last year.
This bill is also identical to the
legislation requested by the White
House and which was introduced
in the House of Congressman j..
Percw Priest, chairman of h e
House Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee.
Dismissal action in Congress
was initiated this year when Pres
ident Eisenhower formally request
ed the Speaker of the House and
the President of the Senate to pass
legislation to terminate the Gov
ernment's liability for the 1880
yen debt claims filed by Issei and
Nisei in the United States an d
Hawaii Suggested draft bills were
included in the Presidents requests
10 Congress.
According to the Office of Alien
Property, which has custody of the
assets claimed the yen debt clai-
mants could seek return of their
former dollar deposits in Japan
and in yen.
The claimants are asking for
the return of their funds deposited
in the pre-war japanese banks In
this country and Hawaii. They al
lege that their deposits are now
held by the Office of Alien Prop
erty and have filed 1880 claims
against the Government for the
return of their former deposits.
The Government has informed
Congress that the 1880 yen debt
claims are burdensome because the
individual claims are so small in
volving in many cases only five or
ten dollars, that the administra-
tive cost of processing these claims
would often exceed the amount
that might be returned.
The Senate and House dismissal
bills would end the Governments
liability in the yen debt claims and
would deprive the claimants of any
opportunity to recover their form
er deposits in this country in dol
lars.

JA(L importance
Cited By Author

PALO ALTO, Calif.-James A..
Edmiston, author of Home Again"
and former official of the War Re-
location Authority of this area,
this week told the Pacific Citizen
of his views on the Japanese AM
erican Citizens League in a mono
graph entitled THE Importance
of the JACL to Democracy" it was
revealed by Masao w Satow, Ma
tional JACL Director.
The Edmiston statement follows:
Holding a beach-head is more
important than taking it. There
are two very good reasons for this.
First in no other way can we JUS
tify or pay for the wounds o ur
friends suffered along the way
Second, to pres erve our gains
means that whatever our own
hardships we are securing the flu
ture of our children and of de-
mocracy. Both are more import
ant, obviously, than some small la
bors we undertake or some small
dues we pay.
During the past few years the
JACL, led by some able people who
almost daily amazed me by their
sincerity and ability, has made
many enormous gains. But do not
let anyone lull you into any false
sense of security. Gains can be
lost swiftly if the battle surges back
and forth. The very fact that these
gains have been attained is exact
ly the reason why the JACL must
become stronger. If the beach
heads in italy had not been held
by the 442nd, then those who died
would have died in vain.
The thing they said can't hap
pen here did happen here. And
the security of my family isn't
one iota firmer than yours. Intol-
erance could Just as readily, and
for perhaps sounder reasons, turn
against the Scotch and Irish
which I have reaso to believe I
am. I feel personally that the
JACL has helped strengthen my
position in America and I
hope the JACL holds onto the
gains it made for us all.
The Importance of the JACL to
people of other minority groups is
certainly obvious, because once

According to Mike SaSaoKa,, Sen
Magnuson has been associated with
almost every JACL legislative ef-
fort since the end of the war
In 1913, for example, as a men,

Senator John Sherman Cooper

committee such other JACL bills
that became law as the Suspen-
sion of Deportation Act which ex-
tended to the japanese for the
first time the discretionary bene-
fits of the Attorney General, the
Soldier Brides Act which allowed

1854 was $780, 600 greater than in
1858, and subsidies to the missions
in 1853 amounted to well over
$12, 900, 900.

The new st. Agnes parish will
hold its first social affair - a
spring festival ~ at p. m. Thurs
day, May 5, on the church grounds
at Wheatland Ave. and w. Mound
St., Columbus.
Designed to raise funds to help
pay off the church's $4,000 debt,
the festival will feature a number
of novelty booths. Sandwiches
and soft drinks also will be sold.
The 500-family parish has been
divided into five sections, with
parishioners from each area volun-
teering their services for the
bazaar. William Reardon, chair
man of the committee in charge of
arrangements, said 1t is hoped that
the fete will become an annual
affair.
The parish was organized only

plefe and seIf-suffieient system

''The broad, general outline of
the Church's legal theory" he ex-
planned, ''in the field of public law
is that there are in the world two
separate and independent perfect
societies: the State in the temporal
realm, and the Church in the spir-
itual realm.
within the scope of their own
competency, each has the right to
govern directly from God and not
by dependence upon the other. The
Church is supreme regarding Spir-
itual things and the ultimate end
of man; the State is supreme in
temporal things"
"But every law" he continued,
whether enacted by State or
Church, must be in accord with the
natural law and with divine posi-
tive law. For the function of law,
whether ecclesiastical or civil, is
to give further concrete determi-
nation to the general principles
which constitute natural law"

Cincinnati, told a Knights of CO.
lumbus luncheon here.
He said the reasons are that
American civil law has been de-
rived from English common law,
while canon law derives directly
from Roman law" and that the
constitutional principle known as
separation of Church and State"
has been a contributing factor in
keeping the Church's juridical
knowledge closed book to Amer
ican Catholics"
Monsignor Asplan made it clear
that I'VE subscribe completely" to
the principle as laid down by the
First Amendment to the Constitu-
ton, that the Congress shall enact
no law respecting an establishment
of religion or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof"
He added, however, that ''to love
our country and its legal Institutes
does not mean that we must be
blind to the fact that from these
institutes there sometimes flow un-
foreseen, but lamentable results"
Drawing comparison with
other countries, Msgr. AspIan
