JAPAN VERY BADLY CROWDED
Emigration Not Mere Convenience.
as With European Nations, but
an immediate Necessity.

The area of the United States is
pan, but the population of Japan is
almost six-tenths that of the United
States. Within an area smaller than
California, Japan has a population of
% times greater density. To every
square mile of the Flowery Kingdom
there Is n population of $40 souls
talmost five times that Of China. And
the inhabitants of Japan are increns-
ing at the rate Of $4,000 year. Such
are some of the facts, substantiated
by works Of reference az authoritative
as the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Before the present war the problem
'of congested population in Europe
found solution either in emigration or
in colonization overseas; after the war
the problem will be less acute. Amer
lea opened its doors to Europe-and
besides this outlet, all the great Euro
penn powers had colonies in other
hemispheres.
But whereas with European nations,
emigration was n convenience, with
Japan 1t is a growing and immediate
necessity. In all Pan-America, with
the exception Of Mexico, Asiatlcs are
unwelcome. Australia has shut her
doors against Asiatlc emigration. In
northern China there are large tracts
of land not so thickly populated, but
the European world holds jealous in
terests In this area.
