His Maiesty's Government are
,nTiOus to secure the successful
8 ,prIement in this country of POr-
nguese, Japanese and other agri-
giturai laborers, and the Legisla-
bre by its liberal appropriations,
md in the discussion which oc-
cured in regard to immigrants of
various natiOnalities that come to
,stle here has manifested a SINH
hr feeling. Expressions of public
opinion both from those specially
Interested in the question of plan
hdon labor, and from other classes
Of the community have forcibly
endorsed this desire as the express
sion of a sound national policy.
The arrangements for securing this
settlement have been perfected,
but, in order to attain satisfactory
results it will be necessary that
the needs and requirements and
4 the peculiarities of the several races
Omen who. come to this country
IN the hope of thereby lettering
their condition, should be studied
BY those with whom they are
bought into contract as employers.
Pecuiarities of race require con-
lderaiOn. For instance, it must
Be evident to all who have had
occasion to employ the Japanese
That they are eminently a teachable
nee and that at the same time it
sonly by kind and just treat
9flt that they can be successfully
dealt with. Such treatment is in
deed essential to success in the
management Of immigrant foreign
aOOrerS generally. In view of this
hd 1t is well that the bases of the
gsements which exist between
MS MaIesty's Government and the
S!efal Governments interested in
@S subject, should be clearly I'M
%NlGOd by all employers of labor
n Who are serving under original
grafton.
iAe understanding with the Jap
as:e government is that while
" immigrants remain under their
glAal contracts they are to be
