The results are highly Instructive.
These Asiatics arrived as Agricultural
laborers to work on the plantations.
But they did not stay there. Saving
their wages. they pushed vigorously,
into all the middle walks of life. The
Hawaiian fisherman and the Ameri-
can farmer, even the American con-
tractor, is a rare bird, indeed, while
japanese corporations are buying up
the nnest plantations and growing the
npest pineapples and sugar.

The Australians, 5000. 900 whites in

CANADA IN DANGER
From Canada rises an equally un-
compromising determination. Listen
to Mr.. Vrooman, a. high official Of
British Columbia:
"Our province is becoming Oriental
ized, and one of the most important
questions is whether it is to remain
a British province or become an ORR
entail colony-for we have three races

Indeed, Californian assertions that
Oriental immigration menaces, not
merely the Coast. but the whole con-
tinent seem well taken. This viaw
was officially indorsed by Mr.. Can't
