It must not however, be for a moment supposed that by such drastic measures of exclusion or by deplorable acta of mob-li, seb as are parted this morning from Alberts, aso this question of Oriental immigration settled. It appears to us to be one of the gravet problems now before, not merely this colony or that colong, or Indis or the Mother Country, but the whole Empire collectively. Some of our Colonies s'em to think that this matter of excluding Asiatics is ons simply affecting themselves, and that we late to conern in the matter. This is not se. They forget that ander the present system of Imperial government wo alone are responsible for the administration of India, and we slone are not merely noviinally, but very really responsible for the relations of this Empire with other Asistio rasse. It is posDALLY PRESS OFFICE. Bible that the day may come whe thass burdens will be effectively shared by the Colonies; at present they do not share them. It is well that the ground should be cleared by a fall compre Bennion of this initial fact. Secondly, it is Pssential for us to realize thaf, though the Mother Country may have finally to bear the repren her, or even the hostility, of other nation or of our own great dependency for mats done by our Colonies, that is all the more raison why we should enter fully into the spirit which dictates these acts; and that they should understand our point of view. At home here in England we find it bard to compr-beaed this prejudice agains Orientals. We have no cans to fear an incur. sion from the East; and we are inclined to sse nothing mora than trade jealousy in all, Asistio riots. It is, however, something more ved in a half-developed colony. It may be than trade jaslousy, as anybody knows who has reasoning, but the fact remains that it is essentially su instinct of self-preservation on the part of one ideal of civilisation fased by another very different ideal. This is the point-of-view-pat forward in our solamus this morning by Mr. Grogan and yesterday by Mr. Kelly on behalf of Australia. But, while we cannot enter into the colonial feeling, it is equally true that Colonists entirely fail to appreciate the no less important world problems which we have to face. With expanding Eastern races and white rass not showing an equally swift rate of progress but ei siming a larger part of the glob, as this exolusion even if if it were advisable, be main tained indefinitely? That is the real problem, and one requiring a ganina in statenship n nat. moraly to solve, but even to savisage id quitaly.
