The population of British Columbia was small, and there was a well-understood apprehension that if the current from Asia was "allowed to come in free and unchecked÷be balance. of power might pass from one race to another. That was a problem which Do Government in this country could afford to ignore. It was a problem which had received the attention of all the Governments. A problem dificult at all times and under all circumstances, it had been made doubly difficult-ten times more diffen't. --so far as Japan was concerned by the fact that Japan had suddenly risen to the proportions of a first-rate Power,
He drew an el ngent pieture of the evolution of Japan and her dramatic advent as one of the

The success of that sourse, the carrying out of which had been antrasted to Mr. Lemieux, everyone knew. As the result Canada win-s-much-better position than the nited States, which country was still negotiating with Japan. The difficulty between Japan and the United States showed that no matter what was put into a treaty, the nations must always get back to diplomatic action. The condition of things in British Columbia was one that they were bound to

to legislate against the Japanese, to enact in the House of Commons and Senate that no Japanese should come to Canada. Another Pay was by conciliation-to ask the Japausse Government to reangaiss the difficulty of the question, and to aot rolnatarily. The Premier concluded as follows:

We represented to the Japanese, an thorities that we expected them to restrict immigration, and we were successful in this, and the Japanese authorities consented to restrict immigration. In Ave years not more than two thousand landed in Canada, during that time. No complaint came from British Columbia.
