WEST CANADA
WORRIES over
ASIATIC INFLUX
Plan Proposed to Keep
Oriental Population at
Fixed Figure
By EDWIN E. DOWELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

VANCOUVER, B. c., June 8.
(UP).-Rigid passport and regis
tration regulations are being urg-
ed for Oriental immigrants in
British Columbia as a result OF
the, Dominion commission investl-
CATION into alleged illegal entry
of aliens into Canada.
Complete control of commercial
activities in which both Japanese
and Chinese are engaged was rec
commended in 4 brief submitted by
Vancouver aldermen.
The brief requested that grad
ual transfer Of the Oriental popu-
lation of British Columbia to the
other eight provinces in the Do
minion be effected as rapidly as
occupational pursuits permit so
that the present provincial level
of the Oriental population might
be kept constant until the total
population reaches 1900, 600. At
that time, the fixed number OF
Orientals could be increased by
agreement. the brief suggested.
STRONG IN INDUSTRIES
Concentration Of Orientals in
British Columbia has resulted III
their obtaining almost virtual con
troll over fishing, small fruit and
vegetable markets, truck and
greenhouse gardening, and in
some areas, mining and logging
interests, the brief asserted.
Danger Of the situation III event
of hostilitics with an Orienta!
power or an ally of an Oriental
power also was suggested. =
The brief sought immediate cs'
tabliShmcnt Of Il quota for Orient,
al immigrants. Such a plan would
be in a ratio to the percentage OF
each group Of nationals to the
total population of the Dominion
and no immigrant would be adj
mitted in such groups if such an
entry increased the nationality
ratio beyond the agreed percent
age.
Concealment Of an alien Illegally
in Canada would be made Grim
inal offense. Those convicted of
such an oGfenSe would automatic
ally be deported if not nationals
of this country.
Recently into Canada Of Ori-
entails who have left Canada
whether born here or not, would
be restricted to January !, 1910,
under terms Of the brief.
Definite establishment of ale
giance Of Orientals born outside
of Canada, but not residents
here, was asked. Residence in
! Canada in excess of two years
would require a binding oath OF
allegiance, without reservations
of any nature.
Orientals would be permitted tc
own or lease land and engage il
commerce only to the same extent
as permitted Canadians in the
land of the Orientaps origin.
Startling increases in the num-
Der of Oriental licenses in the
city of Vancouver in the decade
between 1927 and 1887 was citet
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1938-06-09
IS an example OF Oriental pcne-

as an example Of Oriental pcnc-
tration.
The total number Of Oriental
licenses, according to the brief,
was 937 in 1927 and in 1887 had
increased to 1889. Percentage i'll
crease nthe l0-year period was:
japanese, IA percent; Chinese,
34.7 percent. Total percentage
increase was 53.5 percent.
Figures showing the school pop
ulatiOn trend in Vancouver were
cited to show that while between
1929 and 1897 Chinese school en-
'ollment increased from l.5 per-
cent to Is percent Of the total
enrolment; Hindus from .O5 to
Is, and Japanese from 3.5 to 5.5
percent.
Commenting on Oriental pene-
tratiOn in relation to national de-
Tense. the brief stated:
"Pcnctration Of the Oriental
into British Columbia is vital to
Canada as Il nation, and especial
ly to the province with its long
coast line along the Pacific.
ALDERMEN SEE PERIL
at is impossible to leave the
subject of surreptitious invasion
without drawing attention to the
danger to British Columbia in the
event of hostilities with an Orient
al power or the ally Of an Orient
al power from the doubtful loyal
ty to our country in such circum-
stances of such a large percen-
tage Of our population, which
danger increases as the perccn-
tage ratio of the Oriental races
increases.
"The figures contained in the
brief submitted to the Dominion
commission clearly portray the
menace faced by the white popu-
lation unless immediate and eff
fective action is taken to control
the percentage ratio Of Orientals
in the Dominion" the brief con

Cup Team Strong
Favorite to Win

LONDON, June 8. (UP)-Al-
though Helen Jacobs may be I'M
able to play because Of a severe
arm injury suffered yesterday,

Prior to Miss Jacobs injury
suffered during a practice session
at Wimbledon-the United States

overseas forces shape up as very
strong. so strong in fact, that
eve nthe most ardent British fans
forecast victory for the United
States.
The United States has won IL
of the last Is series and Great
Britain four. The United States

Connecticut is a state in which the
 manufacture of articles of common usage nredominates. Connecticut has always heen practical state and it's people have come to be regarded as practical-minded:: Some eight years ago they demonstrated this when they ended Republican pollt- ical dynasty that had encircled this state with "No trespassing", keep Ott the Grass, and other prohibitory signs. The entrance of Wilbur L. Cross into Con necticut politics began new era of state administration. Regardless o1 Republican claims and references prog ress in the last eight years ana e11orts to substitute representative government for government by select few must pc laid chiefly at the door of the Democratic party. , x,,,,,,, Cross: 1t has fostered his stay in politics ever since. Therefore, we can't quite get the sense of the present political cam paign that is being conducted in this state. There seems to be only few speakers who are really concerned with the issues of the day. The rest are more perturbed over birds and animals ana other creatures of Nature. There is place for such discussions, but plainly the political platform isn't the one Gov ernor Cross hasn't failed his party or his state: he has injected real fighting tone into his campaign. But how about the others?
 Dr. James L. McConaughy, president of Wesleyan University, seems to be the greatest offender in not settling down to seek political office. He remains beauti- fully aloof from mundane contacts With votes and voters. He likes nothing bet ter than to debate some picayune point that Democratic office-seeker may have made In sense, too, we think num- Der of Democratic candidates have fallen into this error. too. As for the Socialist Dartv it bases its entire existence on the appeal of Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport. Other than him and his record in Bridgeport and his ability to hit out from the shoulder at both Demo crats and Republicans, the Socialists of- fer nothing. They say thereu be change if elected and point to Bridge port. but we doubt if Mayor McLevy could bring about change in state gov ernment, such as he implies, unless he could carry every office on the state ticket.
 A very impersonal glance at the po- Iitical situation here in Connecticut shows that there is no reason why the voters should change their horses in uid-stream State government has been administered well and wisely under Governor Cross regime. That further advances are bound to be made and fur tlner contributions made to the cause 0f good government can't be doubted. We see no reason for a change in Connecti- cut. We don't believe on November 9th that the voters of Connecticut will see need for a change, either

Alma Gluck, who died Thursday, was born in Bucharest, Rumania, but one definitely thinks of her as an American. Although she has been before the public very little of recent years, pleasant mem- ories are recalled of how charming she was on the concert stage, and her equally charming voice. To think of Alma Gluck is to recall large victrola in the corner of ones living room or music room, and the piles of Victor records, and the pleas ure derived from Victrola concert. This was all before the days of the more promiscuous radio programs that have Supplanted the Victrola form of mechan- ical music, although radio production is not actually mechanical. The Chuck records were many and varied, and formed couple of columns in the Victor catalogue.
 Alma Gluck was singer who possessed dramatic ability, enough to place her for but she was essentially, concert stage singer. She had, perhaps, in her heyday, one of the most successful concert careers of any singer. She came to Waterbury where she sang, as she did for practically all her concerts, the popular favorite, "Will-o-the-Wisp accompanied by the composer of the song, Charles Gilbert Spross. She married the violinist, Efrem Zimbalist, and their marriage was a happy one. She left the concert stage at the height of her career. She will long be remembered as delightful artist, and her voice will live on through her many photograph recordings, which number one hundred or more.

The politicians have been fighting the holding company in the public utility field, and have been denouncing central ized management. One wonders just how they are going to laugh off the achieve mentS of the telephone system during the recent great hurricane that struck the Atlantic seaboard, and resulted in hun dreds of deaths and untold millions in property damage.
 Nearly 100000 phones were put out of service by this disaster. The emergency was met by extra repair crews from af- filiated telephone companies in other areas. These crews came from as far south as Virginia and from as far west as Ill., inois and brought with them hundreds of fully equipped trucks. During the days of abnormally high traffic, operating forces were also augmented by operators sent in from other companies.
 Tn previous times of crisis, telephone, gas and electric utilities have restored service in a similar manner The secret of such great achievements is centralized management of operating units - and centralized management means the hold ing company, with the finances, the equipment and the engineers necessary for meeting crisis. If the utility business were broken down into unreleated, local units, 1t is obvious that disaster would leave them helpless. It might be months before lone company could restore ser vice. Quick resumption of sucn services as power and communication is essential in saving lives and property.
 The great utilities in all fields, through the holding company plan, have diversi- fled their properties so that disasters in one area cannot disrupt the organization. They are thus ready to meet any con- cG1xable emergency = and lick It. They have set record after record for service and efficiency. in normal as well as ab- normal times. These records are the irrefatahle answer to the fallacious

Meriden is concerned over its sewage disposal system. A recent investigation revealed that it had deteriorated so much that repairs would be terribly expensive. It's possible that the Silver City fathers may decide new system would be cheaper and more efficient than rebuilding the old one. This naturally brings up the question of financing and we're inter- ested in watching how Meriden solves the problem. Here in Waterbury we've flirted with the idea of a great, modern, and sanitary sewer system for a number of years. We've got pretty good start to- wards one, too, although you'll still hear complaints from various sections of the city where sewers have not yet reached. But Waterbury has the satisfaction, at least, of knowing that when 1t does get around to building disposal plant, it will service the greater part of the resi- dential areas, for most of them now are linked through laterals to the two main trunk lines which will carry all wastes to the disposal plant for naturalization, thus ending Naugatuck River pollution completely, save for factory wastes.

ator Lonergan accomplishes, even if

ator Lonergan acconplishes, even fl elected.
 There is no doubt that such letter writer is practical minded. However, he missed 6 very important fact that touches another class of work ing people, and that is as follows:
 In e recent syndicated Washing ton news column 1t was stated that Senator Lonergan if reelected would in all probability be made chairman of the Senate Pension Committee. The veterans and their families are vitally interested in that. The Hart ford Courant on October 10, only few days ago, quoted Senator Lon- ergan as saying. T will support all
 measures which are introduced for veteran relief" and further speaking of veterans stated, we must do something to get them adequate employment and then sometime in the not too far distant future, we must try either to place them on 6 graduated monthly pension plan like spanish War Veterans and Civil War Veterans or extend to them benefits equal to those in the form of Social Security benefits" He finally stated my veteran record, like my labor record, has been prac- tically 100 per cent"
 Tn our government Senator Lon- 'ergan is quite but powerful. Like Vice President Garner he produces balanced goods. We need him more than he needs us. He will get a great independent vote from us.
