IMPERIAL CONFERENCE
HEARS HINDU COMPLAINTS
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
London, May 22.-The peculiar dis
advantage at which Hindus who wish
to emigrate to Canada find themselves
is set forth in petition from the Hin
du Friends Society of Victoria, B. c.,
and addressed to the Imperial confer
ence which will open in this city next
week.
The petitioners point out that the
Dominion emigration laws make it
more difficult for British citizen to
emigrate from India to Canada than
it is for a Japanese or Chinese to be-
come a resident of the Canadian part
of the empire. They quote a Cana
dian order-of-council effective since
May, 1910, as follows;
From and after the date hereof,
the landing in Canada shall be and the
same is hereby prohibited, of any inn
migrants who have come to Canada
otherwise than by continuous journey
from the country of which they are ma
tives or citizens, and upon through
tickets purchased in that country or
purchased or prepared in Canada"
It is noted that this order-in-council
number 92O has been suspended in
the case of aliens and the petitioners
respectfully submit to the Imperial
conference, why it should not be re-
scinded on behalf of fellow subjects.
The hardship entailed by this law
is explained by the statement that
there is no direct steamship communi-
cation between Indian ports and Cam.
ada and that the Hindus cannot pur-
chase steamship tickets from Indian
The weekly chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Craig County, Okla.) 1905-1913, 1911-05-26

for any point in Canada as the steam
ship companies will not take the risk
of being compelled to carry them back
in the event that they are for any rea-
son refused admission to that country.
The petition continues:
AS long as they (Hindus) the Brit
ish subjects and British territory is
the land of their citizenship from the
Interpretation of the Imperial and par
entail government. 1t is needless to
point out that the narrow interpreta.
tions of the Dominion government
about the land of citizenship do not
allow them to enter Canada from
Great Britain, Hong Kong. Shanghai
and other parts of the British Empire
These men can travel unhampered in
China, Germany or the Sahara.
The present Dominion immigration
laws are quite inconsistent with the
Imperial policy because they discrim.
mate against the people of India who
are British subjects as compared with
other British subjects"
According to the petitioners there
are some 5000 Hindus resident in Can
ada most of them in the Province of
British Columbia, all working steadily
but as a result of the Objectionable re-
striction, mot single Hindu whether
merchant, student or tourist coming to
Canada during the last two years has
been allowed to remain here"
1t is stated that while a Japanese
wishing to enter Canada is required
to show only $50, in his possession. a
Hindu must have 5000. Many Hindus
wish to make Canada their home and
that this may be made possible, the
petitioners in conclusion submit:
THAT, with due respect to the
Dominion government at Ottawa, that
the disgraceful conditions of these. our
fellow citizens may be brought up be-
fore the Imperial conference and the
whole question of Hindu immigration
may be put on proper basis with the
help and cooperation of Sir Wilfred
Laurier and his majesty's govern
ment."
