AMERICA AND JAPAN.

Sir,—ln reading your Friday's nanor I was surprised at tho letter you published of."lntegra " on. tho " American-Japanese Imbroglio." Did you know it was the California fruit growers who sent for tho Japanese labourers to gather tho ripe fruit that was wasting, that tho American people refused to gather; and, as they wore bettor workers, the labour men of California did not like it, and found they were getting left by a far moro polite working'race? Japan does not want to go to war, unless to protect her loyal people. Don't you know tho kind of people, and their history, who were tile cause of all tho 'Frisco riots? These same people went up to Vancouver to make Canada as bad ns their America in tho eyes of tho world. Tho wise and just Roosevelt and Laurier, the two grand men at the head of tho two great countries, think and know and act differently. I have lived ten years among the Japaneso and Amorican people. I saw all thoir ways of working;.all that the Japanese wont is fair play and justice. I thought I would give you tho other view of it, for you to find out tho truth first. —I am, etc., A CONSTANT READER, Wellington, January 4.
