A JAPANESE VOTER.
[from our own correspondent. ]
London, September 15. New Zealanders who come to resido in England are often astonished at the length of time which elapses before they find themselves qualified to be placed on the voter's lists, and a little incident this week at Kensington seems to show that what may be difficult for an Oversea Briton is comparatively easy for a foreigner. The revising barrister made the announcement that the name of Commander Hiroharu Kato appeared on the list. The Conservative agent said that lie did not object. Mr. Hiroharu Kato was a commander of the Japanese navy, and he was also an M.V.O. The Revising Barrister: I think the matter ought to bo inquired into. Ido not think the Japanese give up their nationality very easily. As there is no objection to him he must remain on the list. I think, however, he will be much astonished to find himself there.
