JAPANESE HOLD IN CANADA
. ♦ CENSUS DEMANDED IN BRITISH COLUMBIA VIOLATION OF AGREEMENT ALLEGED (UNITED PHESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT.) (Received January 20, 5.5 p.m.) VANCOUVER, January 19. Alleging that Japanese have been smuggled into British Columbia, Captain Macintoss, a member of the Provincial Legislature, is demanding an immediate Dominion census of the peaceful penetration of Japanese. He alleged that they were capturing the control of fishing. There was only one white on Mayne Island. There formerly had been no Japanese there, but the brother of a Tokyo admiral had been declared the island boss and 40 Japanese had been discharged in the island from a Japanese floating cannery from Alaska. He also said that the gentlemen's agreement between Canada and Japan, permitting the annual entry of 150 Japanese, was being flagrantly violated.
