Thousands of unasimilable im- migrants are pouring into Canda, and the region which is afflicted demands that they be shut out, remarks our contemporary There is an impassable barrier to the amal gamation of Asia with either Europe or America. The Occident refures to mix with the Orient. Thus the Occident is confront ed with a larger peril than it evet met since the days, twelve centuries ago, when Charles Martel, at Tours, in France, tolled back the tide of Moslem conquest and ved Europe, and, incidently, America, from domination. by Asia."

JAPANESE STHANSHIP

SUBSIDY.

Japans shows no sign of Letting up on her policy of developing an ocean marine by extending heavy subsidies. Those who are responsible for the subsidy programme pay especial attention to the promotion of European and American rus, and during 1956 the Government paid out $2,216,000 to make the Japanese flig a familiar sight in the ports of Europe and Ameri-

CA.

The course pursued by Jepan ought to be carefully studied by the free traders of this country, remarks an American contemporary, who profess to believe that the failure of the United States to develop an oversea carrying trade of consequence is due to the protective tariff. Japan has a stiff tariff of that kind, but her shipping industry is expanding rapidly. The explanation is simple. Although she can, man her ships with cheap labour and ought to do pretty well with that advantage, she is not contented to let the matter rest at that, but adds heavy money bounties, "We labour under the disadvantage of being compelfed to pay very high wages to the crews of yousels in the oversea inde, and we refuse to extend a helping hand to men who would strive to overcome that drawback" Under the circumstances it is not surprising, says the paper from which wequote, that the American Rag is neger seen in foreign parts; it would be amazing, under the circum stances, if the.

THE QUESTION OF INSOLVENCY,

An Indian writer in the Malay Mail has brilliant suggestion to make as to the best

means of evading one's creditors. All the poor clerk or assistant who has fallen into debt should have to do is to declare himself. insolvent and start afresh. He does not state whether he is to get into debragila and once more become insolvent by order of the Court, but there seems no reason why. his scheme should be limited by any triffing, matter of that sort. His English is quaint and sometimes difficult to understand, but at all events he knows what he wants and he laments the fact that the laws of the Federated Malay: tates prevents him getting it.
