THE COLOR LINE N AUSTRALIA.

The reprOach has frequently been cast against
the United States that it is the only important
country in which there are Determinations OF
race and color. In European lands, ii is SAID,
white men and black men and yellow men stand
on a level according 10 their mental and moral
deserts, and Europeans regard with surprise
and repro5ation the American determinations
against non-white races and the attempts TO eX-
clude some of them from immigration into this
country Without at all considering the ques-
ton of the propriety or improperly of such
determinations aud exclusion, il may he pointed
ont that the United States is by no means alone
in exercising them. If they do not exist in Eu-
rope they are emphatically 10 be found in inn

There is Australia for example where condi-

in the creation of the Australian Common
wealth. and it has by no means abated its
popularity and force. One of the first acts

striction of immigration TO the white races.
and indeed for the removal Of much OF the
non-whita labor at present in the country. The
proposals were TO exclude every immigrant I'M
able TO write at dictation at least fifty words
of English, and also absolutely 10 bar out ANY
aboriginal native of Asia, Africa or the isl
lands thereof" These stringent rules would

Samoan Mr.. Chamberlain, the Colonial Secre
tary OF the Imperial Government, has made
known his disapproval of this measure, as being
likely 10 offend friendly powers and as being
contrary to the principles of race equality which
have always prevailed throughout the British
