Mr Stoughton, a New Zealand merchant, returned by the eteamer Orvieto after six years' residence in Japan. In the course of an interview he mi there is a distinct inclination on the part of the Japanese to come south. They are already swarming in the South Seas, and hoast that they can kike the Philippines from the United States. Three Government emigration agencies are in existence to send emigrants south, because of the cold and pitiless north. The rest of the Japanese are not friendly to Australia, When asked if there -was any danger of aggressive action, Mr Stoughton replied : "The Anglo-Japanese Treaty is a great deterrent, and it is liard to prophesy what will occur if the agreement is terminated at any time. The Japanese are. a proud and haughty people, and may even become arrogant in course of time. It hurts them to think that they can find very little outlet for their growing millions.''
