PACIFIC RELATIONS
———♦ FOOD AND POPULATION PROBLEMS DENSELY AND SPARSELY PEOPLED AREAS (Rec. November 3, 5.5 p.m.) Tokio, November 2. The Pacific Relations Conference discussions have been devoted to food and population. The striking contrast between countries saturated like Japan, Java, and parts of China and the sparsely-settled America and Australia was discussed on scientific grounds, without feeling. With the large increase in Japanese populations it is admitted that the standards of living have been raised, but a further rise is unlikely if the population increase continues. The American policy of excluding Asiatic labour entering the Philippines under United States law was questioned, also Asiatic migration to the Pacific Islands. The burning question of extra-terri-toriality is now being discussed. Various plans of compromise, based on the admission of the Powers that extra-territoriality is temporary were discussed in order to find a modus vivendi.
