IMMIGRATION LAWS
A CHINESE RETORT.
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.; ~TOKIO. May 5. While the Government and the country generally are extremely disappointed at the reports that J a P' anese exclusion will doubtlessly be adopted when '.he U.S.A. Congress votes upon the report on the Immigration Bill, there is a spirit of resignation. The Chinese residents of Tokio, taking advantage of the American immigration situation, planned a demonstration to protest publicly against the restrictions on Chinese iminigration in Japan, but, upon the advice of the Chinese Minister, they abandoned. the plan, and a delegation, instead, visited the foreign Minister stating that China expects the same consideration from Japan as Japan hopes to obtain from the United Spates. The refusal of the Japanese to permit Chinese immigrants to land in Japan is an insult to China comparable with the insult to Japan marked by the American exclusions. It, moreover, is impossible for the coloured races to stand together while Japan herself has negatived the principle.
