FOOD AND POPULATION
PACIFIC CONFERENCE DISCUSSION STRIKING CONTRAST CITED TOKYO, Saturday. At the Pacific Relations Conference today the discussions were devoted to food and population. The striking contrast between countries saturated with population like Japan, Java and.parts of China and the sparsely settled countries of America and Australia were discussed on scientific grounds and without feeling. With the large increase in the Japanese population it was admitted that the standard of living had been raised, hut a further rise was deemed unlikely if the increase in the population continues. America’s policy of excluding Asiatic labour from entering the Philippine Islands under the United States law was question; also Asiatic migration to the Pacific Islands. The burning question of extraterritoriality is now being discussed. Various plans of compromise based on the admission of the Powers that extraterritoriality was temporary are being discussed in order to find a modus vivendi.
