LORD NORTHCLIFFE IS THUNDEROUS. ADVICE ON IMMIGRANTS TO AUSTRALIA. (By Electric Cable-'--Copyright.) (Aust.-N.7». Cabte AfWOoißtion.) V (Received May 19, 10.40 a.m.) London, May 18. Lord Northelifl'e, speaking at a luncheon given to him by the Australian and .New Zealand Club in the Hotel Cecil, made some interesting references to the Japanese question. After an allusion to the fact that Australia had no arsenals, ho added: Our little brown friends are getting nearer and nearer to Australia. Any person who goes to Japan and realises the true position and the remarkable growth of the population will understand that Australia, which is practically empty, is in very great danger. Tho Australians toll mo: "Wo keep them out." Australia keeps them out becauso she has the protection of the British fleet. Can Americans and Canadians keep them out? Lord Northcliffo thundered: "JSIO!" * British Columbia and Honolulu arc alive with Japanese. He regarded the Japanese as the Germans of the East, with a propaganda of spying and emigration all over the world\ They have covetous eyes on the Commonwealth and the Dominions. He criticised the immigration scheme. It is easy to put, a man in a ship at Tilbury and land him at Perth, Sydney,, or Melbourne—"anywhere except Northern Queensland." But there are no preparations to receive him when he arrives, such as in Canada, where tho Canadian Pacific Railway Co. made wonderful preparations for their reception. Hence the number of people who return to Britain from Australia. There is an alarming number returning. This should be stopped. Everyono who returns to his native village in England is tho worst advertisement Australia can have.
