Chinese residents gradually gaining control ,of many important use: of business, British Columbia is today the Cali- fornia of Canada. Shot of: from the rest of Canada. by the barrier of the Rocky‘noun- trains. this province, like Californiu.‘ finds itself faced almost singly with the nation's Oriental problem—and without California's newly estab- lished means of coping with the problem. says the , Victoria, 13. 0.. correspondent of the Christian Sci- ence Monitor. British Columbia. so far has stood almost alone in its efforts to curb Oriental penetration. Of the 15,868 Japanese in Canada 15.006 are in British Columbia. and the Chinese population of the province is 23,638 as against 16,054' Chinese living in all other parts of the Dominion. ac- cording to the last census. Fur this reason British Columbia. has found it extremely dimcult to make the people of Canada generally and a. federal government sitting in On- tarlo understand the gravity of the situation. ' .On the other hand. the efforts of the province to establish its legal right to control its Oriental popula- tion. its numerous cases before the Imperial Privy Council. have' met with indiflerent success. Despite this British Columbia. is more determined now than ever to stop the growing domination of many industries by Orientals and the rapid increase of its Oriental population. When the provincial legislature meets next autumn the possibility of copying California's anti-Oriental laws will be consid- ered. it is understood among politi- cians here. Just how far this pro- vince can go in emulating California, however. is extremely doubtful. J. W. de 13. Farris. former 'Attor- ney General. who fought several of British Columbia's Oriental cases before the Privy Council. believes that the province has power to» take drastic no on along the lines adopt- ed in Call ornia to prevent Orientals gaining control of large tracts of land. llo reached this conclusion, he told the legislature at its last ses- sion. after careful study of Califor- nia’s anti-Oriental laws. He added that he would lay dcflnitc proposals based on California's law. before the legislature at its next session. All this indicates that British Columbia. will rc-doublc its efforts to cope with the situation. “Attrition" Proposed Meanwhile it is the policy of the povlnclal government to handle the Oriental problem with constant “at- Lriiion." A. M. Manson. Minister of Labor. says, "It has been the aim of the provincial government to educate the people of the province as to the activities of the Orientals and to urge upon them the neceeslo ty for a campaign of attrition." Mr. Manson sold in a recent speech. As an illustration of the results to be obtained by such a campaign he pointed out that through ihe.efforts of the Department of Labor. 2.070 while men have been employed by railways in the province to replace Orientals. _ Figures compiled for Mr. Manson and showing the large proportion of Orientals in many industries are startling. In this province. with its small population. he says 2.275 in- dustrial firms employ 5.691 Chin- ese. 3.288 Japanese, 784 Hindus and '70 Japanese women. In the log- ging industry 7 1-2 per cent. of the employee are Orientals: in the lum- ber dealing business 41 per cent.: in the sawmill industry 39 per cent.: in the shingle industry, 54 per cent: 39 MAIN STREET _ j > 3\ 3 ; in the baking industry. “percent: in the fish canning new. '39 per cent: in theiooal' mule: industry. 16 per cent; in the’fr‘uit and ‘veg'e- table canning industry, 89 pen-cent: in the pulp and paper industry. 8'. per cent. Orientals also are offer- ing serious competition to white farmers. and on their urge areas of land it is estimated that they pro- duce 65 per cent .of the agricultural crop of the province. m. Manson states. ' . . Oriental Bkth Bate Statistics showing the growth of the Oriental population are even more astonishing. The latest fig- ures compiled hers cover the year 1922. and they are conservative, as government oilcials find it extreme- ly dimcult to make the Orientals register the birth otxtheir children. In 1922, according to Mr. Manson's figures. the increase in the Japan- ese population was greater than the increase in the people of any other nationality. The Japanese birth rate per thousand was 88.8 as against the British rate of 21.4. the Chinese ra of 7.6 and the rate of other na. inalitics of 14.1. 01' the total number of births in the province in 1923 6.91 per cent. were Japanese: 2.1: per cent. Chinese; 81.42 per cent. British. and 10.52 per cent. of other nationalities. The increase in the Oriental pop- ulatlon in Canada is pyramiding at an alarming rate. In the 10 years from 1871 to 1880 only nine Chinese were born in British Columbia. and there wore no Japanese births. In the next 10 year period 05 Chinese children and two Japanese children were born here. The next 10 year period saw a. sharp increase‘ in Chinese births. which numbered 465, while six Japanese births were re- corded. In the next 10 years 765 Chinese were born and' the Japan- ese births increased to 125 as against six in the previous decade. This was the beginning of an ex- traordinary increase in the Japan- r-se population. From 1911 to 1920 Japanese births increased from 135 to 2.852. By this time the Japan- ese had outstripped the Chinese, who had increased by 1.602. The two years from 1921 to 1922 wit- ncssed an amazing increase in the Japanese birth rate. No less than 1.219 Japanese children were born in these two years—an increase of more than 100 per cent. over the previous 10 years. The Japanese births were treble then of the Chin- cse. which numbered 418 in the two years. The last. birth figures avail— able are for the first six months of 19:3. when there were 81 Chinese and 295 Japanese births—a: slight decrease in the rate of the two pre- vious years. As a. result of this growth Oriental children now make up approximate- ly 8 per cent. of the school popula- tion. cocci-ding to figures tabled in the provincial Legislature by oili- cials of the Department of Educa- tion. or the 94.888 children en- rolled ln the public schools of the province in the school year ending June'ao. 1923. 1.346 were Chinese. 1,422 Japanese and 16 Hindus. F‘ol-ccd Out of Fisheries Only in one important direction is Western Canada overcoming Orl- ental penetration. In the fishing in- dustry. over which the Japanese were gaining complete domination a few years ago. white men are now- recovering their former place. as the Orientals are forced out by the refusal of the Canadian govern- ment to grant them fishing licenses. The licensee issued 'fo Japanese have been cut down substantially during the last two years. and this reduction will continue until li- Schulize’s Sanitary Markets NORWALK, CONN. BRANCHES Norwalzx.

The fact is. however. that as peoples we are ethno'loxice-lly different and will not mix: consequently it will be better for business and for the preserva- tion of harmonious relations if the Ja anese refrain from trying to se- cure control of any of our natural resources." ' ' # (Continued from Page Nine.) As the lowest paid soldier in the Na- tional Guard receives about $19 a week for the two weeks in camp, it can be readily seen that this would not work a hardship on any employ- er. “We are proud to any that some of the firms in this city have Icon—op- ,their menu lumber mills of men to go to camp and in addition paid them the difference between the camp pay and the regular wage. "Bridgeport has done it. Bridgc~ port. where a short time ago it was a. problem to maintain a company. now has a regiment. Bridgeport has a larger per capila. National Guard than any other city in the state. All because tho employers of men are backing the movement. backing it with cash and good will. to enable their men to bc.ong to the National Guard without suffering financial loss. Norwalk must do the same thing. "And. I urgently request that the members of this Kiwanis club, rcp- rcscnting the business of Norwalk go on record as agreeing lo place this matter effectively before their employees to the effect that one man from the smaller firms and at least two per cent of the pay roll strength of the larger organizations be in- duced to join the local Guard Units with a two weeks' leave for camp and the assurance that they will not is animato A , in fishing '_ have been forcedeut of thebini- ‘ Numerous 1191:1118 boll-5' suffer financial loss by so doing." - Men Lost Jobs. Captain chler stated that the two local units of the National Guard were among the leaders of the 192d l“. A. He pointed out that there was many things that the Kiwanis could do to aid the National Guards. He said that the Kiwanis club had help- ed to recruit Battery C. when he was the commanding officer and that they had presented the outfit with the national flag. He urged the co-opcration of the members of the club. in allowing the men to go to camp and told of three cases in for- mer years. where National Guards- men had lost their positions because l ' ‘ - UNION SUITS $1.00 Sizes 36 to 46.

Captain Keller read a statementl of Stanley H. Buliard of the Bollard Machine Tool Company of Bridge- port and President of the Connect- icut Chamber of Commerce. who urges that employers of National Guardsmen grant them 15 dean leave of absence with pay to attend the summer cncampmenls. In the statement Mr. Buliard pays tribute to the past and present National Guard of' the State of Connecticut and says that we should be proud of this organization. He also read a letter from the_ American Thread Co'mpany of Will- imantic in which it is stated that the company will grant its employ- cca 15 days leave of absence to at- lend the Natlonal Guard camps and that they will pay the diacrence be- tween their regular wages and what they will receive from the govern- ment. The letter also stated that the concern was willing to co-operc ate in anyway toward encouraging cnllstmcnis in the National Guard. In closing Captain Keelcr asked that the Kiwanis Club support the carnival that would start at the Ar- mory grounds Saturday evening. as the proceeds would go toward the one went fund.
