Japanese Bettlers are now to be found in many of the countries of Latin America, where labour is badly needed, especially for the rubber plantations. The Chinese are expected to follow the Japanese into these countries... and it has been predicted that when the immigration movement from Asia once gets a good start it will not be long before there are more Asiatics than Europeans in Latin America. It will then be interesting to see whether the problem which vexes California will be solved first in Mexico and the more Southern parts of the hemisphere.
