A PASSIVE INVASION
TAHITI AND THE CHINESE. "Papeete simply swarms with Chinese," said Dr. C. K. Adams, M.A., who returned from a i-isifc to America by the Maitai on Monday. "All t merchants are Chinese, aim all the retailers are Chineso as far as I could see./ They are becoming so numerous in the French group that thopassivo invasion has become ail acuto problem, which tho French people there have no solution for. I should say that they ought to try and check the influx of Chineso by imposing a heavy poll-tax and by making them pay a substantial annual tax. Tho peril is a real one to us, too, for Rarotonga is only two days' steam away from Tahiti, and once' thoy bocomo established thoro it will be difficult to get rid of them."
