WHITE V. YELLOW.
BRITISH COLONIES AND THE ASIATICS. IS A "WHITE AUSTRALIA" POSSIBLE ? By Electric Telegraph. — Copyright. (Received Oct. 30, 8.15 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 29. Tho Under-Secretary for the Colonies, Colonel Seeley, speaking at the Liberal Colonial Club, said he anticipated an early settlement of the Indian difficulty in the Transvaal. Natal's problem was harder, but it might be solved by excluding further immigrants and treating generously those already there. Australia, he added, was primarily a white man's country. Australian opinion clung so earnestly to the ideal of a "white Australia" that she declared herself determined to make the experiment of peopling even the tropical territory with whites. The success of the experiment was a question of population. ■ Australia's future depended on the possibility of increased white immigration and a higher birthrate among the white inhabitants.
