EMPLOYMENT OF CHINESE.
Whenever They Are Brought Into
Competition with White La
Dor, There Is Trouble.

People in various parts OF the Britlsn
empire are stirred up over the decision
Of the legislative council in the Trans
yaal 20 admit into that country Chinese
under contract for their labor. The
premier o: New Zealand tried to arrange
conference of colonial premiers to Pc
ition the home government to veto the
act Of the council. and the liberal leader
in the British house Of commons re-
,ently moved a vote of censure on the
government for advising the crown to
refrain from interfering.
Wherever an attempt is made to bring
Chinese into competition with white
labor, white labor protests. says Youths
Companion. The unwillingness OF the
whites in Australia to work in the same
mines with the Chinese led to the pas
sage of the exclusion laws there. There
has been great opposition to the intro
duction of Chinese laborers into South
Africa, but both the local and the i'm
perial governments have sanctioned the
importation of Chinese. The defenders
Of the policy maintain that the develop
ment of South Africa depends on the de-
velopment of the mines, which cannot
be worked successfully without plenty
Of cheap and trustworthy labor. The
attempt to work the mines with native
labor has failed, and at present the pay
Is not high enough to attract white labor.
Therefore. as last resort. permission
to employ Chinese contract labor was
sought and obtained.
Such labor has been used successfully
in the British and Dutch colonies In
Asia, where native labor is not equal to
the demands of advanced industrial
methods. In the Straits settlements and
In the federated Malay states there are
more than half a million Chinese, who,
working under the direction Of Euro
peans, have transformed jungle-cov-
cred, painless country into country
with railways. wagon roads. schools,
waterworks and all the machinery Of
modern political and industrial organ
ization.
The Dutch have not utilized the Chi
nese so much as have the British. but
they employ nearly 100000 of them in
their East Indian colonies.
While the British were discussing this
subject the Chinese government was
using its influence to discourage the
emigration of the laborers. 1t desires
them to remain at home. and to accept
employment there at the hands of the
Europeans and Americans who are
building railways and planning to de-
velop the mines of the country.

Yadrintzef, one of the best authorities

ures in his work on Siberia, makes,

world is the ambition of the Russian
government To force its development
Russia has been willing to make many
sacrifices, and it is in line with this idea
that she has appropriated so much OF
China's territory. A study Of the agri-
cultural possibilities of Siberia is inter-
esting, especially at this time.
The population of Siberia amounts to
about 100000 people. This figure alone
sufices to show of what development the
country is yet capable in view Of its
enormous material resources. As
matter of fact, colonization, more or
less systematic, begun but recently,
after the government undertook its reg
ulation and direction. immigration,
which during the eighties amounted to
but 10000 to 10000 per year. has been
steadily swelling since 1892. and reached
about 224. 900 in the year 1899. 1t is thus
clear that Siberia contains an available
area for the. cultivation of cereals, for
almost all these immigrants are agri-
culturists and continue their occupation
on the new sites.
Omeial estimates OF the Russian gov
eminent, given some 90 years ago. put
the cultivable area as high as 268,000
English square miles. or 32.4 per cent. OF
the total area for western Siberia and
S53, 760 square miles for eastern Siberia.
