Mineta tressed, however, that while each community could hold on to its inelividual cultural heritage, it I equally important for people to recognize that in I nn of political power, trength come through unity.

'The I on of the Eva uation i that we did not have acc to the polItical leaders of the lime. We had no cham­pion . We had no acc to the political

Carlos Kasuga Urges PANA-USA Nikkei

to Keep Faith with Issei Spirit and Values B Harry K. Honda LOS ANGELES-The founding pnn­ciples of the Pan American ikkei As­sociation were reiterated by Carlos Kasuga of MeX-ico City, PANA Inter­

national president, in remarks during thePANA-USA ew Year diooer Feb. 10 at the ew Otani Hotel.

PANA, the international organi­zation of native-born ikkei and Japa­nese residents in orth and South America, enters into the 1990s, Kasuga said he had often wondered why the Japanese Americans (Noneamerica­nos--as Latin Americans refer to those in the United States) became interested in the Latin American ikkei . He felt it was due to the common heritage and bond created by the Issei immigrants and parents. And, he continued, that it was now up to the Nisei to pass on

. these cultural values of gimu (duty I obligation) and gambaae (perse er­ance) to the upcoming Nikkei genera­tions.

With rno t of the 100 present know­ing very little Spaoi h (Kasuga i a na­tive of Mexico), he poke in Nihongo. He briefly covered the Japanese immig­ration history into Latin America which was family--oriented, unlike the

paniard colonists to Mexico. Peru and outh America who were mo tly ingle

men . Like the Engli h and French, the Japanese emigrated as families , plant­ing their cultural values in the Americas.

Kasuga urged individual bridges of cultural understanding be built and to keep alive the heritage of the Issei . "And we hould contribute in the pint of gimu & gambaJte for the bettennent of the respective countries of one' birth. Thi is the PANA dream and prin­ciple," he reminded.

PANA-USA President orito hi Kanai acknowledged and thanked the many who contributed to the ucces of the Fifth PANA Convention held here last July. He announced PANA­U A official will be present at the an-

nual Overseas Japanese Association convention in Tokyo in May to discuss immigration and education issues which were raised at the P A con­vention by ikkei from Latin America.

Greetings were also extended by Akemi Miyake, president of the Japa­nese O:lamber of Commerce of outh­em California and an Orange County Japanese community leader, who re­lated how impressed he was at the tre­mendous turnout (estimated at 60,000) at the 80th anniversary celebration of Japanese immigration to Brazil two years ago. "It could never happen in the U.S. ," he said, "of that many i­

lumjin gathering in one place." Longtune benefactor of Japanese-­

American causes and the Olympic Games, Fred Wada, told of the recent meeting with lsak Higa. Nisei attorney from Peru, who believed there were many Peruvian Nisei here in need of assi tance and that PANA-USA could extend a hand. Higa was here to relate the opening of a service bureau in Tokyo to help Peruvian isei in Japan.

The call for P ANA' next convention in 1991 in Paraguay was repeated but the dates have not been set. Canada is expected to ho t the 1993 convention.

EDITORIAL OF THE PACIFIC CITIZEN

Affirmative A ction: A Clarification The following editorial by JACL National Director Bill

Yoshino, in re ponse to last week's Pacific Citizen editorial, clarifies the JACL' position on affirmative action.

The Feb_ 16 Pacific Citizen editorial , "Affinnative Action Quotas," expres ed an analy i directly counter to establi hed

JACL upport of affinnative action program . While the editorial expre ed orne valid concern about the growing anti-A ian di -crimination in university adrrti ion it oversimplified a complex problem by as uming that affUlllative action "quotas" were the basic cau e. It al 0 accepted without question the as umption that any ort of program to overcome the effects of di rimination amounts to a "quota" that admit unqualified rrtinorities or women. It i not 0 imple.

Under the law, quotas re erving lots in coUege admi ion for women or rrtinoritie are not allowed and have not been for orne time. The tenninology i often used as an inflammatory code

word by those who would attack affUlllative action program _ ffinnative action program are not the only con ideration

applied in the admi ion proces be ides grade and test cores. pecial con ideration for rural tudents, athletes and children of

alumni i given, yet not blamed for taking potential A ian 10 . At mo t private choal ,Iegacie favoring children of alumni affect far more lots than affinnative action .

In the Pacific Citizen editorial, gro tau tIC comparing White tudent percentages at .c. Berkeley with population figures fail to con ider that a compari on of Black, Hi panic or American Indian tudent per ntage with their proportion of the population would be e en more di proportionate. In fact, di rimination against A ian i apparent not from ri ing numbers of other rrtinoritie , but from th fa t that de pite higher grade and te t a erage th admi-ion rates of A ian Ameri an are held con i tently below that of

YOU may have noticed a commercial on TV recently that has to do with

using your hands to peak Italian. It' been appearing 0 frequently T don't know how you could mi it. Anyway, the guy i selling frozen pizzas or paghetti sauce or omething like that ,

I don't recall for ure, and he ay the way to peak Italian i to wave your hands and hrug your houlders and u e certain words which [cannot remember at the moment.

One way to look at thi commercial i to say it i the mo t demeaning kind of tereotyping, which J think it i . But if there have been protests , they've -caped me. Perhap mo t people don 't think the commercial tereotypes Ital­ian and 0 they think nothing of it. Mario Cuomo doesn'l talk like that, and neither d Lee Jacocca. Every­body know it , 0 why fu about a illy TV commercial?

Now let' look at thi from another angle. Suppose, in tead of a television a tor mimicking a tereotypical Italian, omeone was mimicking a tereotypical

Japanese, hi ing through hi teeth and bobbing hi head and grinning t thy grins and aying "Ah, 0" while peddl­ing oy auce or in tant nood.J .

Perception can be an unfunny mat­ter depending on the eye, or the ear, of the beholder. orne time ago I learned that in Bo ton it' a no-no for new paper reporters to refer to police vehicl as paddy wagon .

Excerpts: Chapter XVII

First Japanese Texans Contribute to State's Fann Industry

B Masakazu Iwata

Continued from (he Previous Week

The Rio Grande I sei commumty was re pon ible for the commencement of Japanese agricultural activities in Uvalde County, about 90 miles west of San Antomo. In 1950 Tomohachl M1yauchi ettJed there to begin cotton, lettuce, cabbage, and pepper produc­lion, but adverse climatic condition , e peeially hailstorms hindered opera­tion .

In EI Paso, in the extreme western part of Texas and on the Mexican bor­der, the Japanese were a familiar ight at the tum of the century as they came with ease acro s the border from Mexico into the United State , a free­dom of movement that was checked by the implementation of the provi ion of the Gentlemen's Agreement. Another fac tor that made for their pre ence in EI Paso were the frequent Mexican rev­olutions that forced Japane e In agricul­ture or numng in Mexico to cro the border into the anctuary of the Umted

tate . Many of these undertook ag­ricultural or other activltie around thi border city. One intere ling Japanese enterpri er was a fomler bureaucrat from Tokyo, Shiiichiro Saito, who with Kanae agasawa and in concert with publisher Chandler of the Los Angeles Times launched venture first in the [m­

perial Valley, then in Texa rice, and finally in cotton in EI Pa o. In 191 8 Saito sent hi nephew, Ihei Kawani hi who was erving as a judo in tructor to Dougla Fairbank in Hollywood, to I Paso with ten men , but the venture fai led . Earher in 1916 Kametaro Takahash i, Goraku Daito and another partner purchased 30 acre at Y leta at aboul $50 per acre. They cleared unim­proved land and a such contributed to the development of the region and were welcomed by the people. Earlier, Daito

JAPAN BASHING ITEM

through his gambling activities had sec­ured fund to inve t in land in onora, Mexico. The unfavorable future in thaI country cau ed him to di pose of the Mexican land and 10 ettJe permanently in Y leta where after 1923 he went tnto cotton growing. In 191 a former Impe­rial Valley farmer from California began raj ing cabbage and lettuce on 100 acre of leased land .

A s early a 19 I 5 there were enough rtJapanese residing tn the EI Paso di trict to warrant the establishment of a Japanese association , while in 1930 a Japanese hall was erected and a lan­guage school establi hed , which con­tinued to operate through the Issei era .

* * * In ummary, the hi tory of Japanese

immigrant agriculture in Texas i noteworthy inasmuch as it i in harp contrast in many re peets with the gen­eral pattern in the rest of the nited State . It will be noted that the Japanese immigrants in the main arrived in thi country with a limited upply of money and knowledge of the Engli h language, and tho e who ultimately undertook farm operatjons did 0 usually on un­cleared margi nal land after having pent orne years a railroad or mine

workers in many cases. They, therefore, a1mo t to the man

experienced untold hardship and dif­ficulties in the initial phase of their career as farmers . However, the Japa­ne e who ettled in Texa after the tum of the century generally were directly from Japan , wealthy , and berter equip­ped educationaJJy to cope with the new condition in an alien land and culture. For example, the head of four familie prior to 1910 arrived in the United State with over 10,000. orne were former member of the Diet and of the peerage in Japan.

The Japane e immigrant very early made invaluable contribution to the

nce culture of the tate, the ftrst among them begmning his operations in eb­ter, Harris County, in 1903. The larg t rice farm owned by a Japanese prior to 1910 was 3,500 acres located in Terry, ten miles west of Beaumont. Thelf con­tribution to thj phase of agriculture was the introduction of at least three differ­ent train of Japanese rice which were found to produce better crops than that based upon the wild rice eeds previ­ously own by Texas rice growers.

The report of the Immigration Com­mission indicaled that in 1908, me 25 farm it had inve tigated produced $259,000 worth of crop , 95% of thi amount representing rice. Among the pioneer rice growers who continued production of thi grain were me Saibaras who, when mey ended their operations in 1964, were utilizjng every modern farm equipment , uch as trac­tors , combin , and trucks .

Besides rice, the Japan e were raj -

ing vegetables and oranges and were al 0 engaged in the nursery indu try in variou parts ofTe as . The Rio Grande Valley in outh Texas , the region in which me Japanese have been mo t ac­tive in growing crop omer than rice in more recent time , was the ite of one of me earliest commercial nur eries, founded in 1909 by one considered to be the earliest I ei ettler in t\1e Valley. The o-called "orange boom," me race to sell and et out Satsuma orange trees imported from Japan toward the end of me flf t decade of me century , was in­itiated by enterpri ing Japanese Texans and can be considered a aga of daring though abortive entrepreneurship worthy of hj toricaJ ob ervation.

II i a trui m that when the I el members of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team re cued me urrounded company of Texan in Europe during World War ll , it was not the ftrst time that me Japanese and white Texan met.
