If the unwillingness of other coun- tries to receive Japanese coolies as inn migrants is to be made a casus belIi by the millado's ministers. those gentle ly is there no lessening of the popular desire for the exclusion of Oriental la
 borers from the Pacific coast of the United States but the agitat,i ion against them is becoming acute in British Co- lumbia. In this province. with total population of 100000. there are today 5000 Japanese and 2,5OO more are ex- pected within the next few months. In the last ten or twelve years they have and have nearly succeeded in doing so in the saw-milling industry. The in- habitantS of the province declare that they are face to face with the ques- uon whether it is to remain a white mans country" or become Orientaliz- 'd and 1t must be admitted, even bv those well disposed toward the Japan ese that the character of the future civilization of so new and undeveloped a country may be powerfully affected 1T the present rate of Japanese immi- grafton Is maintained-a fact which is recognized by the people of Australia. whose prejudice against the Japanese as laborers is as strong as that of their Canadian cousins.

THE BRITISH AND ASIATIC
 EXCLUSION.

The British press is beginning to wake up to the significance of the movement for the exclusion of Asiatics | from America Australia and south Africa. The London Daily News, after discussing the Vancouver riots and Australian legislation on this subject goes on to review the situation in the United States:
 American for many generations ran it's unskined labor from the cheap and unlimited supplies of Africa. The re- suit has been that she is saddled with racial problem of black and white to which the wisest can find no satisfac- tony solution. It is not unnatural that she hesitates before complicatiug this already sinister race cleavage hy the addition of the further aggravation of the yellow man. on the other hand, permanent exclusion of the citizen of a recognized civilized and progressive nation would seem impossible We have
 
 manifest today by the Vancouver riots And the wisdom of all who care for a future peaceful development may well be concentrated upon this, one of the most difficult problems which the world has ever seen"
 Why should the exclusion of any race sl.1 nestle concern of the United tates and wholly within the powers of regulation. with or without treaty. It is the same in Canada except in SD far as its re- lations with Japan are complicated by the Anglo-Japanese treaty of alliance. It should be obvious that no treaty can be long continued in force when it runs counter to a strong popular sentiment. If the Japanese insist on treaty rights Canada will find a way to denounce that agreement or modify its proVis- ions so as to secure virtual exclusion.
 Exclusion of any sort of immigratio is of course, a new idea to most British writers and thinkers When it made it's first appearance in the shape of Chinese exclusion from the Pacific coast it was regarded by the British press with horror, as something mon- strous. They are just now beginning to consider it on it's merits, but it stil seems to them impossible" It takes a surgical operation.
