Jap Problem COnfrOnts Britain
By CHARLES FERGUSON.

TINE Japanese problem, as 1t
presents itself on the Pa
cifc Coast Of the United
States, is not a matter of our pc
culiar polity or local prejudice.
This is evident from the fact
that our British neighbors are
confronting precisely the same
problem in the western provinces
Of Canada.
Indeed the racial collision he
tween Occident and Orient has
more violent and disturbing ele-
ments with the Canadians than
with us,
The fisheries Of British Colum-
bia are the largest and most prof
table fisheries in the world. They
are now wholly in Japanese
hands. \ conservative English
authority declares that over ten
thousand Japanese fishermen are
deriving from this source annual
incomes varying from five hun
dred to three thousand dollars
each.
The latest available figures,
now several years behind the
present reckoning. prove that in
the island OF Vancouver there
are more Japanese adult males
than white men. Thus the ques-
tion of japanese predominance in
Vancouver has become a lively
and pressing issue. For expert
ence shows that the adult male
Japanese immigrant is, in proc
ess of time, usually followed by
his family. His customs and
habits become alI-pervasive. He
enlarges his boundaries and
drives the white man before him,
not by force of arms but by eco
nomic law and the pressure of So
cial circumstances.
The fact that the Japanese are
swarming over the Loyalty Is
lands with a prospective eye on
the Australian Commonwealth;
that they have virtually taken
possession of the queen Char
lotte Islands in the Canadian Pa
cihc offing. and that they are
settling down by thousands in
various parts of the Western Ca
madam continental provinces-is
pretty sure in the long run to put
the English side by side With the
United states in a common effort
to meet a common emergency.
1t is assured that no English
Japanese alliance can force the
English into continued antagcu-
ism with the United States on the
japanese question. 1t is general
ly understood here that the Brit

ish Foreign Office has plainly in

alliance could not be invoked by
Japan in any differences with the

Reputable English newspapers
have a good deal to saw about the
eNtravagant pretensions of the
Japanese in their migratory in

They point out the fact that the
Japanese Government in Japan
Korea and Manchuria is taxing
and legislating every foreign in

it is denying Europeans and

ID URlNG our war with Spain,
the British Government
was coldly Indifferent. The
British people were enthusi-
astically pro-Americaa. I dis
played the American flag in nv
home from the beginning Of the
war until it's close; and what 7
did, many other Englishmen did.
on the Sunday nearest to July 4,
in the year of the war, nv church
in Liverpool printed for use in
the public service, MY Country,
'Tis of Thee" with the American
and British flags prominently dis
played. | take it that it will not
be suggested that this was the
only church in Great Britain
where such a spirit obtained.
Crowds waited outside news
paper offices for news of the sea
fghts-and I saw them. And
heard them cheer American sue
cesses. 1t is the same thing now.
1t will be the same thing as long
as there are two Englands. The
England Of the foreigners. who
have ruled England for more than
eight hundred years, may persist
in misunderstanding and in blum
dering. But the England of the
English people, the English peo-
pie tiIling the fields and building
the cities, and sailing all the seas
OF God, will continue to admire
and love the American people
M Y native city OF Nottingham
and there is no limit to my
pride in that one time hotbed Of
radicalism and revolution-pre-
sented, far back in English his
tory, a. curious spectacle. It was
walled town, strongly fortified,
and its castle is one of the show
places Of Great Britain. Inside
the walls Of Nottingham were two
Nottinghams, separate and dis
tinct boroughs, one the Noting
ham Of the Norman conqueror,
one the Nottingham Of Danes and
SaXons, by that time becoming
one flesh and one spirit. There
were French courts of justice and
English courts; there were
French markets and English mar
kets; there were French churches
and English churches; there were
French laws and English laws
and, of course, there were there
spoken the Norman French lam
guage and the English. Down to
the beginning of the seventeenth
century, incredible as this may
seem. two juries had to be sum
moned. one from the old French
borough, one from the English.
Which things, though absolute
ly true to literal fact, are writ
ten allegorically." The wise
American will not hold the Brit
ish people responsible for the ac-
ton OF the British rulers. He will
not ascribe 10 one England the
misconduct of the other. And II
ne is as fair in his thought of
the British man or woman as the
British man or woman is IN
thought of the real American. he
will remember that there are two

the score of expense, de-
clires to become a party to
the Panama Exposition in San
Francisco: the British people are
at their wits end TO find some
method by which they can rem
edy the blunder OF their rulers.
Press and public are fairly
agreed that the action of the

the British people Even the or
gans Of the aristocracy and the
journals that live by a servile
adulation Of the aristocracy, pro-
test in a supercilious kind of way
that it would have been wiser to
meet the wishes of the American
people. The newspapers that rep
resent the sound, serious, good
hearted British people are unani-
nous in condemnation of the
cheese pairing. short sighted pol
icy Of the British Cabinet.
It is not the first time in Brit
ish history that the people have
been wiser than their rulers. It
IS not the first time in the his

Non.Advertlser Man Of Leisure.

The merchant who does not adver.
tise is man of leisure. He has
abundance Of time on his hands which
he may spend in going fishing or in
attending baseball games, providing
he has the means, or in sitting on q
chair near his store door to watch the
people go by to spend their money
with his more enterprlsing rivals In
business. He can find time for any
or all these pursuits, because he does
not advertise. His competitors have
not the time, for the reason that they
are kept busy waiting on customers
whom they have reached by judicious
and generous advertising IN the local
press.
