ROAR FROM WHITE LABOR

London. March 19.-The decision Of the
British government to admit Chinese la
Dor into South Africa. in suite Of the op-
position Of the white labor element at
home and il Cape Colony, Is viewed with
some alarm by those who are looking for
ward TO q general election in the near
future. England has had the Chinese
question before her for over century.
This Is due 10 the wide extent of her
colonial possessions. many Of these colo
ries being in a part of the world where
coolie labor is the only source Of supply.
The policy il regard to each colony in the
matter OF admitting the Chinese has va
ried according to local conditions. \ gen
eral principle has underiaiu the policy
70 the effect that where the native popula-
tion has been superior TO the Chinese the
latter should be excluded. but where il
has been evident thaI the Cinnamon
would have btheficial effect they should
be admitted. This applies not SO much
TO the moral attributes OF the peoples in
volved as TO their capacity for labor and
tntelligent industry South African prop

and simply for the purpose of securing

The recent parliamentary debate over
this question resembled to a remarkable
degree a similar debate which might take
place in congress. The same arguments
were used in favor Of the exclusion Of the
Chinese from British territory as are ia

Of the Cinnamon. The fact that h came
