ATTITUDE OF CANADA. A FRIENDLY FEELING. BY OABLB—PBABB ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT OTTAWA, July 12. The Premier (Mr MacKenzie King) informed the House of Commons that the question of the admission of Japanese ‘‘wives” had been taken up with the Japanese Government. He thought the immigration department could exercise a closer scrutiny' in this regard than hitherto. The Canadian Government was not admitting Japanese contract labourers and did not intend to, but Mr King pointed out that the feeling between United States and Japan was now somewhat tense, and Canada ought to recognise this. The Premier said: “I believe the Government of Japan is very friendly towards us, and if our commercial agencies wil ltake advantage of the psychology of the situation there is a. chance for Canada to develop immensely trade between Canada and Japan. W& are enedavouring to obtain by diplomatic methods what our friends in the South have despaired of obtaining in that way.” PLOT TO ASSASSINATE. . TOKIO, July 11.
