CHINESE IMMIGRANTS TO THE STRAITS.
The annual report of the Secretary for Chinese Affairs in the Straits Bettlements gives the number of Chinese immigrants for 1921 at 191,043, the highest since 1913 and 55,000 more than in 1920. Of these there were 28,723 females, an increase of over 28 per cent over the previous year, "a record in actual arrivals, but a lower percentage of the total than in 1920. The balance of immigration over emigration was 92,057 or 48.7 per cent.
The increase in the number of jasmigrants is somewhat surprising in view of the stagnation in the tin and rubber industries during the year; may be ascribed to the unsettled political conditions in South China. The fall in passage rates due to com- petition from an increasing number of steamers on the Straits-China ran and the reduced price combined with ́s fairly from steady rate of exchange ruling throughtout the year.
