A TELEGRAM the other day aaid that a Me S. Pearson had written to the New Zealand Council of Chnrcheß advocating the free admission to the colony of the wives of Chinamen now living amongst tin. The ostensible reason of this is to promote Chinese family life in Now Zealand, and raise the moralß of the Chinese as well as thoss of the white pt'oplo who mo now friends and companions of the aliens. This sounds all right until the matter is examined, but we fear it would not work out happily. White women who herd with Chinamen would possibly go wroiu; in I he same proportion if all the Mongolians had stayed at homo. Tin Chinaman's [ door is open to them. If it i, s g|, u i others are opened, Tin Chinamen are an cril, without a thnbt, and to double the number o' Chinese by tho admission of wnim-f. of the same caste —that is, the Auntie type J would not mend any morals. The Ghitieso woman is men ly a chattel in China to tho Chimin; in. In New Zealand she would fliill bo a chatto| -and not to the Chinaman only. In the North of Queensland there ar Q e

hundreds of Japanese pearl-oyster 'livers. They are often away from home. There are also many Japanese women. The Japanese is first cousin to the Chinese, and the morals of either are hardly fit for analysis. These Japanese women may be the wives of Japanese men, but report goes to show that it makes little difference to the Britisher in the torrid North, nor to many of the Japanese women. The majority of the four thousand Chinamen in New Zealand may be married. Who shall say? The majority of Chinese in New Calami are able, to siy .in, anyhow. Who is to dispute ii ? Mr Seddou proposes to prevent an undue influx of Chinese by the imposition of a £2OO poll tax, and Mr Pearson proposes to increase the impply of Chinese by raising a yellow colony in our midst. The idea will not commend itself to a community (hat means to keep.dear of the colour (aim. It is a sad commentary on the strength of purpose, the morals, and the mental cleanness of our people when it is alleged that 40()l) Chinese are a serious menace to our morals as a nation, It is evident that the people influenced are open to any kind of evil influence, either Asiatic or European. If white women male with Chinese, it does not show the Chinese influence on the race. It shows that the particulat white woman on»ht to have been born yellow, and in Asia. She has found her level, in fact. If we hate the thought ot this race-blending—and i it is sincerely to be hoped we all hale it—we must not admit Chinese men or Chinese women or Chinese children, either free or taxed. If we fear an evil influence that can be safely guarded against, guard against it by putting a firm foot Jdown, and saying that the four thousand Chinese now in New Zealand shall never . be increased by one as long as the t British flag waves over our colony.
