ASIATICS AND EMPIRE.
THE COLONIES' ATTITUDE. VIEWS OF THE "TIMES.'' IMPERIAI. CONFERENCE URGED (By Cable.—Press ___soeiation.—Copyright.) (Received 7.42 a~m.£ LONDON, September 1L The " Times," in dwelling upon the Vancouver incident and the symptoms of intolerance towards Asiatics prevalent in Australia, New Zealand, Natal, and the Transvaal, argues that Labour leaders who are insensible to the complexity of the Empire recklessly harass and insult British Indians and sow the seeds of sedition and distrust in the minds of millions. The whole question of colonists' relations to Asiatics, says the " Times," demands exhaustive discussion between statesmen of the colonies and the Mother Country. Whatever the ultimate solution may be, the rights of all visiting British soil must unflinchingly be upheld by the whole authority of local governments and t_e Imperial Crown.
