1 have just, finished .'-reading once again the Constitution of the National J CCA. It is. surely certain to me that our Canadian citizens of Japanese ancestry sincerely appreciated and held full confidence in their.duly elected representatives who. were responsible for the adoption of the constitution. It is a very good document which.proclaims: in the essence, a "very sincere and deep desire to work and protect the present and future welfare of our fellow citizens.
It is al-So certain that no other organization can serve "to ac^ complish what the JCCA has a-cliieved for the people, nor take over its responsibilities were the JCCA to disappear. .
The JCCA cannot carry on its work unless.it receives your ge: nerous financial support and active interest.
The Nationa' JCCA should not. fail to carry out important fu-- ;re W'.rk'ir: Education, Political Act:'*-r:. Rare Relation? and So-ra^ ard Cultural work.
these should be conibattH.
In the field of education important work in citizenship, community participation and other important projects should c�ntr-nup.
In thn expanding field of race relations th*re is much vital work to carry out in cultural, social, educational and economic welfare projects. Every effort te co-operate with o*h*r Canadian group* i� necessary to combat race dis-crirrinatinr wherever it exists
