French Society.
NEW York, June 5th.-At recent meet
ing of the Societe de Conomie PoGt;quo Of
Paris, the Chinese question formed the pfin-
cipal topic discussed
Nj. Sinonin recited the aspect of the ques-
ton as he saw it on the Pacific coast, but
he had noticed elsewhere among the working
population the same aversion to the invasion
of cheap labor as in California. The ltai-
ians are bitterly opposed to the irruption of
French workmen in Italy, while natives of
Marseiles are equally antagonistic to swarms
of Italians in that city.
M. Lavalle, who had Travelled extensively
in Asia, gave it as his decided opinion that
the Chinese will one day be lords of Asia.
Paul Leroy Beaulin believed that California
had very good reasons to dread the political
effects of large immig grafton of strange and
anti-sympathetic race. The economic aspects
of the question were even more vast and far
reaching. He believed that the day was not
distant when the Chinese would also appear
in Europe and influence the wages OF the en-
tire working population. The question is rem
dered still more complex that the tendency is
to have an equalization Of wages throughout
the world.
Dir. Lunier also believed in the future In
vasion of Europe by the Chinese.
Nj II hoI ! Will
who preach that the people of country
must expose themselves to starvation to make
room for intruders. European workmen are
now only earning enough to buy bread, and
the workmen of California and Australia
were engaged in case of legitimate defense.
Several other speakers took part in the dis
cussion, most of them warmly espousinS the
case of the Chinese.
