ASIATIC IMMIGRATION.
Ottawa, June 9. Sir Wilfred Laurier, the Premier of Canada, has declined to introduce an Asiatic Immigration Bill on the same lines as the Natal Act for preventing the influx of Japanese to British Columbia. The reason for this refusal is that he wishes to avoid the possibility of jeopardising the friendship between Japan and Great Britain while the Mother Country is at war, and the possibility of complications with China arising at any moment.
