PACIFIC RELATIONS
UNJUST EXCLUSION LAWS. INSTITUTE COMMENDED. (Received 11 a.m.) HONOLULU, July 8. Speaking , at the Institute of Pacific Relations, Ta Chen, principal of Pekin University, said: "The exclusion laws are unjust, because one of the principal grounds of discrimination is race colour. Migration is the natural right of the world. It is a common possession. No people can be justified in withholding unused lands that other people can use and which they need urgently. It is said that the Chinese are not assimilable. It would be nearer the. truth to say that no serious attempt had e-ver - been made in any country of the Pacific at any time to assimilate the Chinese; 7 ' ■Professbr Roy Lyman Wilburn, president of" Stanford University, California, paid tribute to the institute when addressing the Rotary Club. He said tfiat although unofficial and informal the Institute was nevertheless destined to become a permanent and effective instrument for moulding public opinion throughout the world.— Reuter. '
