JAPANESE EMIGRATION TO BRAZIL.

AT THE RATE OF 800 A MONTH

ATTEMPT TO SOLVE UNEMPLOYMENT" AND -

OVER POPULATION PROBLEMS.

The curreal number of "The Rock" gives the following ac count by Father E. Kircher, S.J., of the great stream of Japanese emigration to Brasil.

It also describes the work that is being done for emigraats by Roman Catholic Missionaries. The number of Japanese emigrat ing to Brazil is increasing year by year. Twice every month a boat leaves Kobe, there being often as many as 600 or more emigrants on board. This year alone the num- ber to be sent to the South Ameri- can Republic is said to be between 15,000 and 20,000...

All over Japan, in newspapers and magazines, in public lectures and private talks emigration is en- couraged, especially amongst the teeming millions of the farming class. The thought of departing for the New World is gradually getting hold of those who are face to face with unemployment and starvation.

8,000,000 Out Of Work. The actual number out of work in Japan is said to be close op 8,000,000, an appalling figure, and as, according to the latest census, the annual increase in population is about 600,000, the disposal of the surplus has become a very serious question indeed. Hence the Japanese Government as well as the private capitalists encouraged by the Government are doing everything in their power to in duce the people to solve the pro blem for themselves. It means the breaking of old traditions, but it will help both the country and the emigrants,

Looking After Emigrants. Last year a fivestoreyed building was erected in Kobe in which the emigrants are assembled for about tea days before sailing. Here they undergo a strict medical examina- tion and are given a series of lec tures on the kind of life awaiting them in Brazil. Not

every one who applies is allowed to travel. Moral integrity and physical fitness, are absolutely indispensable, The ex- and the money necessary for the penses of the stay at Kobe are paid voyage is advanced by the Govern- ment or by the private companies working under the auspices of the Government. On arrival in Brazil

very

the emigrant will find employment on the coffee plantations or in other agricultural works, great facilities being given by the Brazilian Government.

Up to the present the emigrants have gone almost altogether to the State of Sao Paolo, but of late plans are under consideration to divert part of the stream into the regions of the Lower Amazon, where great tracts of land are to be brought under cultivation, and where Japanese Capitalists are thinking of erecting, great spin- ning mills. At a time when Bo many other nations are closing their doors to Japanese nationals it is a great boon to the latter nation to be able to find an open- ing in Brazil. There is a rumour of a contract between the Japanese Government and the State of Sac Paolo arranging for the permanent settlement of one million emigrants in that state.

Only Best Type Allowed. But the same forces which led to the exclusion of the Japanese from other countries are "at work also in Brazil. There is a movement on foot and gaining strength every year to block Japanese immigra tion. It stands to reason, there fore, that Japan is doing all in her power to avert the danger by seeing to it that no undesirables e physical or moral inferiors go into the country and by making those who do enter conform as fully as possible to, the laws and customs of their adapted home...

Catholics Favoured. Having heard how much Brazil appreciates immigrants who

Catholics the Japanese authorities consider it part of their policy and programme to encourage intend-

Bettlers ing

to study Catholic teaching and eventually get, baptiz ed. For about two years a Jesuit Father of the Jochi Daigaku, the Catholic University of Tokyo, Father H. Heuvers, 8.J., has been going to Kobe, each time an emigrant dip is due to leave, to give the passengers & lecture or two on Catholic doctrine, the Kobe authorities giving him every facility. Not satisfied with ope or two talks the managers of the Kobe house, by what authority is not quite apparent, applied to the local clergy to sppoint a priest to give the emigrants a regular course during their stay of ten days, with the result that the Bishop of Osaka bas set aside the newly ordained Japanese Father Yamahaka for the work. He stays in the house while, the emigrants are waiting for the boat and is devoting himself with great zeal to the task, instructing the travellers in the Catholic Faith, teaching them Catholic hymna and bringing them to the Church to be present at Catholic services.
