Why Japan Insists on

Britain are more densely populated
than Japan. Belgium with It's 659 in
habitants to the square mile, is the
most thickly populated. Holland with
i6i population per square mile, and
England. $50 come next. followed by
Japans $50, Italys $40 and Germany's
$40. China has only 20 people to the

But the European countries, which
are more congested than Japan, have
the advantage Of unrestricted em.gra-

they have acquired. The japanese on
the other hand, have no colonies, and

Powers. forbidden 10 emigrate.
England's colonies have a total area
OF 1904 i35 square miles. having only
81 people 10 the square mile From
these colon es the japanese and other
Asiatics are strictly excluded.
Belgium has colonies totalling 900,
600 square miles. Hollands colonies
are even greater in area than those or
Belgium. Even Germany had, before
the war more than a million square
miles OF colonies.
Japan also may be sad to have col
ONES in Korea and Formosa, measur-
ing some 5000 square miles. but these
colonies are already thlckly populated
and offer no opportunity for Japanese
em.grants.

real reason FOR the japanese demand

too small for settlement purposes, but
