RACIAL DISCRIMINATION. THE COMMONWEALTH'S POLICY. KOBE, May 10. "Japan does not wish to intrude but friendly talk is a sham while racial discrimination is expressly declared says the. Tokio newspaper "Hocni Shimbun," in expressing hope for the modification of Australia's immigration policy. Australia could easily support 60,000,000, people, says the paper. At the piesent rate of increase of her population economic development is impossible. Australian duties, especially respecting cheap .Japanese manufactures, are excessive, it is asserted. The Singapore base threatens the peace of the Pacific. The "Chugai jShagoyo" says that friendly approaches are vain if economic relationships are sacrificed on the altar of an Imperial bloc. It surmises that Mr J. G. Latham is promoting Mr J. A. Lyon's policy of putting Australian interests before the Ottawa pact.
