THE FELLOW RACE PROBLEM IN BRITISH
COLUMBIA.
Sir Richard McBride expressed to a Daily Graphic representative recently his confident hope that the Oriental problem in British Columbia would be set right without international complications.
It is one of the many questions the Premier has been dealing with during his visit to England, which ends to day, British Columbia in this respect has a good deal in common with the State of California, which repently had consider ablo controversy. over legislation t Sacramento with regard to the acquisition of real estate by Japanese settlers.
In British Columbia," explained Sir Richard to the Daily Graphic representa tive, it is both a social and an economic- question. We are treating it as a matter ef fécal concern. We who are charged with the settlement of the lands and the development of the sheries and mines and forests, and have constitutional authority to deal with those industries,

Our accomplishment of that purpose would be greatly impaired, if not rendered impossible, if we encour aged the settlement of an unlimited Pacific. number of persons who may cross the
WHERE THE YELLOW. MAN WINS.
Everyone knows that the Japanese or the Chinese can sustain himself on a great deal less than even the thriftiest of our own people; consequently if we come into competition in the labour market, the white man loses, and the yellow man wins. For this economic reason, no other cours is possible than the one we have
resolutely pursued,
prohibiting to Asiatics any substantial part in our local affairs.
"It is impossible for white and yellow blood to assimilato. That is the national aspect of the question. The two races We cannot build up a

population through a mixture of that kind. No one is to be found on the Fucile Coast who would attempt such ussimilation. Our attitude; however, is in no sense offensive to Japan or China. The subjects of both these Powers have the protection of law in British Columbia, and many of their settlers have won the respect of the community, Nor can we see where there is the least justification. for interference by the Japanese or the Imperial authorities in the work we have undertaken to do. The Japanese do not desire the settlement of Britishers in Japan; our feeling with regard to Japan. ese immigration is only the same as that felt by Japanese towards white settlers. Japan is for the Japanese, and Canada for the Britisher.
Downing Street, no less that Ottawa, realises that the people of the Far West are firm in their convictions on this subject of Oriental immigration, The question of immigration is one that so far the Parliament of British Columbia has not been able to deal with efficiently, but we are in hopes that without any international complications it many yot

CANADA AND THE NAVY. There was a
City Carlton Clare attendance at the
one hour lunch.” yesterday in honour of Sir Richard McBride. Mr. Worthington Evans, M.P., presided. The company included. Sir John Barker and Mr. T. P. O'Connor. Speaking of trade, Sir Richard McBride. said that while 40 per cent, of Canada's exports came to Great Britain, only 20 per cent, of Canada's imports were from she Motherland. As a Canadian keen on a theme of Empire, he strongly suggested a better adjustment of things. He also advised British firms to show greater clasticity. Don't send us things you make, but send us articles we need, and if you have not got them make them.
Referring to railway expansion, he said the Panama Canal would bring manny advantages to British Columbia, which was an illimitable warehouse of the world's essentials, The future of the Dominion was never brighter; and there never was a time when the Imperial ques.

According to the Tokyo Ardhi it is an open secret that Japan is determined to oplarge her navy at the ratio of twelve against twenty-one battleships of the United States.
