HiNDUS WILL BE BARRED
IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
Four Hundred Natives of India on
Way to Canada Cannot Land
if They Are Laborers.

VANCOUVER. z. c.. April 1T.-British
Columbians refuse to take alarm over the
report that shipIoad of 400 Hindus
left Shanghai April "a for Vancouver for
the purpose of testing the attitude of
Canadian authorities under the recent
court decision that Canada is not justified
in excluding natives of India.
IF the statement is correct said
Malcolm r. Reid. head of the Dominion
immigration department for British Co
Iumbia. it simply means that when this
shipload of Hindus arrives here they will
have to return, as under the orders-in-
council 3. c.. so. artisans or laborers,
skilled or unskilled, are not allowed to
enter British Columbia
This new order-in-council means" he
continued that if the Hindus cleared
after March 81. they cannot be admitted
here-that is if, as is presumably the
case. they are laborers. If they should
prove to be wealthy tourists they would
come i'll as tourists and go out as tour
lists.
Vancouver paper published the in
formation yesterday that the shipload OF
Hindus had been recruited by Curdit
Singh a wealthy East Indian. who char
tered the steamer komagata Maru. Two
hundred of the Hindus are from Shang-
hal $50 from Hongkong and the remain
der from Nagasaki.
No official report of the steamers de-
parture for Vancouver has been received

Health and Morals Suffer.

Dirt is our universal sin. Not only
health, but morals likewise suffer in its
presence Civic pride for dirty city is
the worst form of false pride. A reform
of habits tending toward a lack of clean
liness is crying need of most munich
palities. Careless and dirty habits of
citizens call for unnecessary expenditure
of public funds, make for higher tax
rates and therefore for higher rents. Give
this matter thought. Citizens them
selves, not the city authorities are re-
sponsible for street litter A street can
be Uttered by a few careless people much
faster than it can he cleaned.
THE proper treatment for offenders of
this type is for an officer of the law to
take the offender in hand and compel
him or her to pick up the litter and de-
posit it in one of the receptacles provided
for such waste.
Another class of persons who persist
emily violate the law are storekeepers
who sweep their wastes into the streets.
Such offenders should be promptly arrest
ed and heavily fined. A few such ex-
amples will have the desired effect.
I'VE can only have real clean streets
when we have real clean people. Will you
not contribute your quota toward making
WAshington's streets clean?"
