THE JAPANESE MENACE.
A NEW ZEALANDEtt'S VIEWS
"DISTINCT INCLINATION TO COME SOUTH."
(By Cable.-Prcsg Associaiio n .-Co Py ii E ht.)
FREMAXTLE, May 14. Mr G. Totton, a New Zealand merchant, returned by the steamer Orvioto niter MX years' residence in Japan. Ho declares that there is a distinct inclination on tho part of the Japanese to como south. They are already swarming in the 'South Seas, and boast that they can take tho Philippines from tho United States. Three Government emigration agencies arc in existence to .send emigrants to the south, because it is cold and pitiless in the north. The Japanese ar.e not friendly to Australia.
Asked if there was any danger of aggressive action, Mr Totton said that the Anglo-Japanese Treaty -was a great deterrent, but it was hard to prophesy what might occur if the agreement were terminated. Tho Japanese were a proud and haughty people, and might even become arrogant in time. It hurt them to think that they could find very little outlet for their growing millions.
