We see a similar attitude in Japan itself toward Chinese labour. Japan's own grievances, of course, arise from the views held respecting her nationals in the United States of America and in Australia. Count Окема while pointing to the existance of extra-territoriality evidence that some people are sufficiently advanced in civilisation to claim the removal of racial discrimina tim, argues that Japan, as one of the Five Great Powers, is fully entitled to demand equality in every respect." Dr SOYEDA, the Editor of the Huch, how over, points out, that, in order to obtain consideration, Japan must first repen her own legislation imposing disabilities on aliens in the matter of the land law and coastwise navigation. There are no auch disabilities nt present in Great Britain or the Crown Colonies, although there is a growing feeling that, in the absence of reciprocity, it would be an advantage if there were.
