When China went to war with Japan

II is thought. however, that the ques-

is reasonable to expect that within a

Charles NJ. Potter, OF Winnipeg. Can
ada, who is at the Raleigh. said yesteT-
day. in speaking of Canada's immi-
grants: There has been significant
change in the attitude of British Column
bia toward Oriental immigration. Only a
few years ago the japanese were regard
ed more favOrably as immigrants than
were the Chinese. Ii is not so to-day.
II will be still less so in the future. With
their quick intelligence, commercial en-
ergy, and industrial efficiency, the Japa-
nese have acquired practical control of
the salmon fisheries. and are steadily
displaeing white labor in the lumber
camps They have none o. the qualities
Of servile labor. They assist in main

They excite a fierce Jealousy. and
threaten the supremacy of white labor
all along the coast. There are sober

British Columbia must become substan-

of Japanese continues.
There is a shivering recollection OF

of imminent escape from far more serious
