Tar Vancouver Daily News-Advertiser of the 12th May says:The statement made by Mr Laurier in the House of Commons on Monday seems to indicate that the Government will not request that Canada should be included in the scope of the Treaty recently concluded between Great i Britala and Japan. Te is gonerally under- stood that the Japanese Government is prephrol to make concessions to Canade owing
to the peculiar circumstances of clu the fact that the unrestricted сано, and immigration to this country of thousands of the lower class of Japanese could not but „have a most detrimental effect on our own industrial classes. At the same time, under any circumstances which are likely to exist for many years, any reciprocat benefit which Canada could receive from the Treaty would be very small.
