JAPANESE IN CANADA
Peaceful Penetration
Alleged
DEMAND FOR CENSUS
(Received January 20, 2.40 p.m.)
Vancouver, January 19.
Alleging that Japanese are being smuggled into British Columbia, Captain M. Macintosh, a member of the Legislature, is demanding an immediate Dominion Census of Japanese. Peaceful penetration by Japanese, he alleges, is resulting in control of fishing being captured on Mayne Island, where there is only one white man and formerly there were no Japanese. A brother of a Tokio admiral has been declared boss of the island. Forty Japanese were discharged on to the island by a Japanese floating canr>ry from Alaska. Canada and Japan have a gentlemen’s agreement permitting the annual entry of 150 Japanese, and this, it is said, is being flagrantly violated. '**
