Dear editor:
Your editoriel entitled, "How Can
The Japanese Support Pestivali"
which appeared in the June at edi
tion of the Northwest Times has
been called to our attention. Ines
muoh as this article took I public
“pot shot” et en ectivity promoted
in the generel interest we feel that
your readers are entitled to e pu
blic reply. ‘
It m regrettable that your
newspaper would devote specs to‘
an editorial which, at best, oen‘
serve no useful purpose. end which.‘
at worst. oen only make a thank
less Job more difficult for the pace
pie who ,have spent, and will spend,
a great many hours—without eny
personal re-imhursemeut—tryinc
to make the Peeiivel a sum. ‘
This negative approach lauds us}
to believe that in cataloging the un
desirehie featuru of our district
you emitted a very important one.‘
Ifweerewnieleeneccnoiuicand
social asset of ourselves. it appears
that we must‘ eke reckon with a
destructive and e fatalistic press.
Itseddensusiobeforeedtothis
conclusion beceuee, frankly. wehed
expected better things of you.
We also resent. gs unjust and un—
fair. your statement; thet the Ja
panese community could not con
ceivably be interested in support
ing anything from which they would
not receive direct financial benefits.
We know. from e look at the re
cord and from personal experience,
that the Japanese people in Seattle
constitute one of the most gener
ous and unselfish groups in the ci
ty, and we feel they deserve recogni
tion for it.
We would be the last to deny that
there are things about the district
that are not as they should be. We
deplore the unsightly conditions of
some streets. the humdrum appear
ance of our buildings, the scarcity
of unusual and distinctive restau
rants, the feet thet there is no place
in this district to buy Japenese cu
rios and objects d‘ert.
But—we are trying to do‘some
thing constructive. We are trying
to provide an incentive to create the‘
“clean. safe look. and heelthy.‘
wholesome atmosphere" you meno‘
tion.
The Northwest Times could be e’
potent factor in chenging the things
none of us like. We would like to
seeitbe thestenderdheerer ins

correction of any of the things we've
mentioned. Pick any one of them.

out: “I! the Japanese merchants
are reluctant and shy about mone

It is amusing, to say the least.
that the committee accuses us or

the m financially.
m committee. it saddens us. has
inflated, and we have come to the
conoliision that it (the eonunittee)
is a rotten shot. '
And please don't hand us the
line about “we also resent. as unjust
and unioir. your statements that
the Japanese community ‘eouid not
conceivably be mm in sup
porting anything from which they
would not receive direct financial
‘hene‘fits". Don't senile up our
edlorial and put words to suit your
tam. The “we resent" is way of!
its mark: it is common knowledge
that the Japanese have always done
more than their share‘in communi
ty-wide fund-raising campaigns.
'me committee claims that the
editorial "at best, can serve no use
ful purpose". and . . . “at worst.
can only make a thankless Job more
diii’icult for the people Who have
spent. and will spend, a great many
hours—without any personal re-im
bursement—trying to moire the he
tivai a success". That is a lot of
biarney. _.
In the first place, the editorial, at
best. to borrow their words. served
this useful purpose: the editorial
aroused the committee into declar
ing that it is “trying to do some
thing constructive, We are trying
to provide an incentive to create the
'clean. safe look. and healthy.
wholesome atmosphere’ you men
tion". And the editorial also coaxed
the committee into depicting "the
unsightly conditions of some streets.
the humdrum appearance of our
buildings. the scarcity of unusual
and distinctive restaurants, the fact
that there is no place in this dis
trict to buy Japanese curios and
objects d'art”. The committee mus
es another point here: We suggest
ed clearing the area or "all its uni
desirable elements. is made inviting
enough to outsiders without fear of
one sort or another. and is relieved
of peliceiflen (bless them!) “mung
in pairs to trial: every suspicious
character". Remember? And we
don’t especially mean any special
group either. {
in the second place. the editorial.‘
at worst, to ‘borrow their wards
stain. should spur the committee
workers on to greater heights. They
should not take pity upon them
selves hy crying that it is a thank
less job because they have spent and
will be spending "‘a great many
hours trying to make the festival
a success". wen ship that phrase
“without any personal re-ixnhurse
ment"; it might be embarrassing to
some.
We’ll ignore that idle but cute re
mu'k about reckoning with rules

we had expected better thirm of
