Two Japanese Proverbs

Two Japanese proverb come to mind Makem go kachi To lose i to gain. Oreru )'ori nablke Better to bend than to break

On Oct. 9, in the Great Hall of the Department of Justice Building in Washington. D.C. the wisdom of the proverb was realized. The att6rney general of the United tates, kneeling to reach the level of six frail elderly Japane e American In wheel chairs, apologized for the unJu I Imprisonment the} and ll5,000 others suffered during World War IT at the government' hand

Handing each a federal check for 20, ,Richard Thomburgh satd. "By finally admItting a wrong, a nation does not de trO} i inlegrity but, rather. reinforce. the incerity of its commItment to the Constitution and hence to Its people."

With the check were a two-paragraph apology from President Bush "We can never fully nght the wrong of the past," the Pre 1-

dent'~ statement ald. 'But we can take a cI ar tand for ju tlce and recogntze that enou IOJustlces were done to Japanese American dunng World War II."

Makeru ga kachi. To lo·e IS to gain . In 1942 Japan e Amencan were a de plsed minority ,tnppcd of even the ba ic rights guaranteed by the Constttution. TheIr very future in thelf homeland was in doubt. Yet they persevered. "Your efforts: the attorney general aid, "have strengthened this nation's Constitution by reaffinrung the lOalienabil­Ity of our ciVIl rights"

Oreru yon Ilflbike. Some have cxconated the i ei for not re I'tmg, even WIth violence, when theIr rights were uspended in the 1942 EvacuatIon Better to bend than break They accepted the wrong as a temporary aberration, th n prang ba k, r i1ient as bamboo, to stand tall and unbroken and win re peel for their enduring faith Would the Pre ident and hi attorne"Y general have apologized If Japane e American had re i ted theIr government' orde ,unju t as they were, With VIOlence and blood hed? That seem unlikely

The ceremony m Washington was a ymboli beginning of the end of a black chapter 10 American hi tory. That chapter will be closed when, pemap three years from now , the la t Redre check and apology are delivered. Somehow, it was appropriate that the audience concluded the event by ingmg, "God Bles America."

Dissipating a Myth About the Language School in Minnesota

Permlt me one more menllon of the deep, dark, o-called eerecy ur­

rounding the mspmng story of isel hngui in World War II, and I promise toay no more about it.

everal week ago I expre sed ur­pnse that d pite evidence to the con­trary, orne individual tiU contend that mIlitary secre y kept the publicity lid on the e i ei until relatively re­cently, thu denying them well-de­erved recogrutlOn

mce the i ei, chooled to tran late captured Japane e documents and mter­rogate pri oners, were called Amenca' ecret weapon, it i. understandable that

the government would want to keep them under wrap during the war. But that wasn 't the case. Even Kal E. R -mu en, the colonel who helped or­ganize the Military Intelltgence lan­guage chool and rved as it first commandant, was blabbing to the pres .

The proof i in a clipping from the Mznneapolis Mornillg Tribune which Mas lmon ofLo Angele found among hi ouvenirs. lmon arrived at Camp Savage, a short di tance outside Min­neapoli , a few day before the article appeared. The clipping i dated May 26, 1942, and the tory was plashed acro the front page of th I al new eetion. The headline, pread over five

column , read: Army chool at avage

to Teach Jap Language. , One of the mo t umque and impor­

tant units of the Army began operation at the fonner H mele Men' camp outhwe t of avage, Minn.," the tory

said. "ft i an intelligence department Japane' language hi ... "

After reading the new paper It didn't take a wizard to figure out that the U. . Army wa preparing men who could handle the Japan language for intel­ligence work in the Pacific war.

bout thi tIme Colonel Rasmu n was al 0 making the rounds of a mbly cente and WR camp, where Japanese Ameri an were confined be­cau e of the government' alleged ina­bility to tell the "loyal" from the "di -loyal," making no ret of the fact h was intervtewing candidat for the lan­guagechool

eVIdent that we were OOII:ru5ted. 1bere was a secreI tanding order over.;eas that any

isel G1 crossing over the frontline to de­fect to the enemy Japanese would be sum­manly shot '0 isei would have commit­led such an act, nevertheless that was the Army s policy.

Young Yonsei and SanseJ readers must wonder what made the lsel fight for Arnenca under these CU'Cllmstance. 1bere were several hundred isei, mostly with a pro-Japan leaning, who refused to serve when the draft sy tern was reinstituted for

isel. They and their followers even today argue that Mike Masaoka and the wartime JACL sanctioned the mass slaughter of Japanese Americans by advocating the for­mation of the Nisei combat unit They insist that we houldn'l have fought as we did when our constirutionaJ rights were viol­ated ow that the .S. government admit­ted its error and has made an official apol­ogy, they contend thaI the JACL hould make an apology likeWIse for sacrificmg Japanese Amencan lives.

Many Sansei, particularly college graduates, are rallying behind this mOve­ment. Some JACL leaders and veteran are also Jommg m the retrospective condemna­tion The whole ISSue is on the agenda al the forthconung national convention at San Diego

We lsel veterans hed blood for America under adverse and dishonored Ctr­

cum tances but won for ourselves the fol­lowing: high esteem from our countrymen, full-fledged clllzen hip, naturalization nghts for I sel, Hawaii Statehood, outlaw­ing of future concentration camp and fi­nally passage of the redress legi lation.

Had the opposItion prevaJled, where would we be today? Undoubtedly we would be scorned as a racial group with dubious loyalty who provided comfort to the enemy. Racial violence against us nught be a com­mon happening
