Mr G. Totton, a Now Zealand merchant, has returned by the steamer Orvieto after six years' residence in Japan. He declares that there is a distinct inclination on the part of the Japanese to come souths Already they are swarming in the South Seas, and they boast that they can take the Philippines from the United States. Throe Government emigration agencies are in existence to send emigrants to the south, because they do not favour the cold and pitiless north. The Japanese are not friendly to Australia. Asked if there was danger of aggressive action, Mr Totton said that the Anglo-Japanese treaty was a great deterrent, but it was hard to prophesy what might occur if the agreement were terminated. The Japanese were a proud and haughty people, and they might even become arrogant in time. It hurt them to think that they could find very little outlet for their growing millions.
