THE YELLOW RACES.
PROBLEM FOR AUSTRALIA. VIEWS OF A PROFESSOR. Received Juno 21, 9.35 a.m. SYDNEY, June 21. Professor Griffith Taylor, of the Sydney University, lecturing at the -Millions Club on ethnological problems, asked why wo were so horror-stricken at any suggestion ol marriage with -Mongolians. If it were necessary to admit cultured Mongolians into Australia in tli(> future, why dread it f There were Asiatic people ol precisely the same races its ourselves, ami though the result of union would be a hall-caste race, it would be in no way inferior to either of the parent races. A white Australia policy was very sound in the early stages of the young Commonwealth. but it- would not be a good thing for our grandchildren to have made- bitter enemies of the yellow races, He asked thinking men to realise that the admission ot a small proportion of Asiatics to Australia might not- be a calamity. He pointed out that mote than half the people of Europe were ol Asiatic origin, closely allied to the northern Chinese. Experience Imd proved that, given time enough, different nationalities could mix and produce a satisfactory progressive nation. Press Association.
