higher wage-scale in Japan means that the Koreans, through the aid of labour brokers, will get into Japan by hook or by crook, re- gardless of prohibition...
GREAT OVER-POPULATION Yet the situation is intolerable he adds. There has been great the country over-population in districts in Japan, with improve- ment only since the "China In- cident" began.
Of course, with the sudden out- now, of men for military service, Japanese farmers have eam- plained of a shortage of labour. but that is simply because they continue to farza in the old unsystematic ways

At the same time, if Japanese are gradually replaced by Koreans in unskilled jobs throughout the country, there is danger of tric- tion between the two races. The Koreans wili be anta- gonistic because they always re- ceive lower pay. The Japanese will come to despise the Koreans because of their inferior level.
