JAPAN VERY BADLY CROWDED
Emiqration Not a Mere Convenience,
as With European Nations, but
an Immediate Necessity.

The area of the United States Is
nearly twenty-five times that OF Ja-
pan, but the population of Japan Is
almost six-tenths that CT the United
States. Within an area smaller than
California, Japan has a population OF
% times greater density. 10 every
square mile of the Flowery Kingdom
there is population of 80 souls
almost five times that of China. And
the inhabitants of japan are increas-
ing at the rate of $4,000 year. Such
are some of the facts, substantiated
by works Of reference as 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 it's doors to Europe-and
besides this outlet, all the great Euro"
pean powers had colonies in other
hemispheres.
But whereas with European nations,
emigration was a convenience, with
Japan it is a growing and immediate
necessity. In all Pan-America, with
the exception Of Mexico, Asiatics are
unwelcome. Australia has shut her
doors against Asiatic emigration. In
northern China there are large tracts
of land not so thickly populated, but
the European world holds jealous In
