G. McQuarrie,'Conservative member for New' Westminster asking L'o" the. exclusion-of. immigration of this type was defeated by a combined vote of Government and Progressive members. 'Tlie Conservative members' in the House voted solidly for. exclusion; of Vancouver, Messrs. Black, Clark, Ladner, MacKelvie, and other Opposition members. Mr McQuarrie -went into the question very, thoroughly^ his Resolution providing "for the ; exclusioir^in ''the" fiuure of all alien orientals who may seek to enter Canada in any. capacity far permanent residence. He quoted- tlie-te^ms of the treaty with Japan, and referred to the'- '-Gentleman's Agreement." effected in 1907��������� restricting immigration", urging that-a request .should be made to the Britisii. Government to .give notice- to-.Japan that Canada wanted the treaty ��������� terminated,, and, that1 the agreement should be directly cancelled. He gavo ��������� a'- mass of' striking. figures' showing how rapidly'the birth * rate of tin Jaoanese'in particular was increasing on the Pacific Coast.- In 1910 -the proportion, of Japanese births to whites was'only, one in 252. In 192J this had increased to one in 17. He estimated that there were over 57.- 000 Chinese-and .over 50,000 Japanese in Canada at the present time.

' We have performed the filial duty of self-abnegation with more or less grace for the good of the mother country. When one considers, the length,, strength and alacrity of the British arm of justice in succouring even a - single British subject from danger or distress, or demanding full restitution for foul play, we .must confess after all that the seeming injustices done have been accompanied with the best intentions, and have grown out of her multiplicity of cares and lier non- acquaintance with the peculiarities of the case rather than of material neglect. The position in which we find ourselves in British Columbia with respect to Orientals has grown out of lack of knowledge of the real conditions there on the part of the Mother Country, and also on the part oi Canadians generally.

A. BATES,' Editor and Proprietor While no truly British institution holds a brief for Oriental immigration, the people are warned to beware these lamentations which are issued every now and then regarding the "yellow menace," and which savor too gireatly of party politics^ This so-called menace has - been a veritable football in iho' province's politics for a score of years. It would seem that the new Farmer-Progressive Party launched in Kamloops is making one of its stoutest planks refer to tills question an*', tlie hackneyed phrases of "lower standard of living" and the like are again pressed into duty. It' is granted, that, these Orientals have a lower standard of living than the whites, but their very presence here reveals a monument of industry and frugality which should"bc good for the country as an example of what can be done by sheer hard work Many whites' despise such hours of labor as Chinamen employ, regard ing them as demoralizing. Work never killed a man yet, when congenial returns were the result.of the labor employed. It is stated thai Chinamen have no conscience ' w'th regard to impoverishing the land. A simple statute enforcing rotation O'' crops would meet the case; the yellow men. are proverbially law-abiding. We should face the facts. Theie are tracts of land right at the city's door which no whites saw their way to cultivate and which Chinamen have made a; veritable garden and which;was with pride shown to Loid Binrnham and the-imperial .press' conference delegates, to mention but one body, as if it were done by tlie brow sweat of our own people. Chinamen'have many good qualities. They can' vastly improve lands and make hopeless-looking "places fit for good returns. As citizens, they maybe quite useless from a-national standpoint; their very creed forbids their bones remaining in the country of'their sojourn. But they have a ��������� sense of honesty which,niight be emulated, a practise of hard work which might likewise be copied with acl- - vantage,: and an honorable thrift' to which very many whites' are strangers.

SYDNEY SMITH'S HLMOIt When Sydney Smith ' i 77 L-18'to > heard that a man about, to marry a widow of formidable proportions, he came out with this burst of wit: - ''Going to marry her! -laipi-'ssible!

Or you might read- the Riot Act and disperse her; in short, you might do hnothing with her but. niarry'her." A 'random selection of good things from the humorist's"' pen follow. Of a charming woman: '.'Her smile would force, a goaeberry . bush into flower." Of a dean; ".The dean <lb serves' to be' preached to death by .wild curates."' Of a- fire.- "What makes a fire so pleasant is, it is a live thing in a dead room.'' Of 'a, showy woman: "When she appears,, though there is no garrison 'within twelve miles, the horizon is immediately clouded with majors."' Of/heat: "Heat, ma'am! It was so dreadful here, that I found there was nothing left for it but to take off my flesh and sit in my bones." ��������� Of a sm\li man: "He has not body enough to cover his mind decently���������his intellect is improperly exposed." Of shyness: "It is a gireat proof of shyness to crumble bread at dinner. ��������� 1 do it when I sit by the Bishop of London, and with both hands when I sit by he Archbishop."

It is. not-necessary for me to repeat the reasons why-we will not and cannot, meet.oriental competition, or why we cannot assimilate the oriental, more than to say that it is largely a matter of- rights and standards. Rights'are measured by certain standards, and the higher the civilization the higher the;,standard of decent living conditions; we .recognize a standard day of so k many hours for so much pay; we recognize a standard of individual obligation to the community and the state; we recognize _a standard of. education;, we recognize a standard .of morality based on the Ten Commandments. How many of these standard's do the orientals we get conforih to? Not one. ' Where are,the men and women iti Canada who are prepared to live and raise their children under any other standards? These standards' cannot be maintained where orientals' dwell in sufficient numbers.

" ��������� ' 'r,~ *t, Mr Ladner from Vancouver South, said his particular part in-the debate related to the sociological aspect ot, he question, an<& he dwelt particu-j larly'on the part played by .theAea.-, tic in promoting the drug traffic^, The Chinese were the main 'actors in? the carrying on of this, trade the, baneful influence of which was ielt, all over Canada. The drugs were bg ine distributed by. Chinese,as a side ssue to legitimate ��������� retail- business nlaces and thousands of young men and women werebeing debauched al Tev Canada: - Mr, Lfdn^'wa^ven convincing and he had abundant evidence to irove-the facts he stated ��������� Mi..MacKelvie,;of Yale.'showed in ��������������������������������������������� >*��������� rtjvjivfto^or'hnff. the Orienh this' matter up in Parliament, made a very'effective speech, J,rcatiniy the question from its sociological, ethical, and' economic aspects. His first opposition to oriental immigration . was the magnitude of' the source! There were 800,000 orientals facing us on the Pacific .slopes in the' East, and Canada could not absorb any .considerable amount of imniigia- tion.from such a source. He quo tad Lord Milner when dealing with a similiar question in South Africa; io prove that the position of British Columbia was not a narrow preju diced one.

Conservative Member for Vancouver South; and fmember of Mr. Meighen's govern- had been afforded stable and civiliz ed communities in the .past, from large migrations of alien people was gone; modern transportation facilities had made it possible to move immense bodies of people, and this -made'"the presence of 800,000 Orientals opposite us across the Pacific a very serious-problem. - The economic pressure from them was terrifying; wherever the white is' brought into ' competition with them the standard of living must be reduced or there was no possibility of successful competition. ��������� There was a regular slave system among tho Chinese in Canada, under which.syndicates brought in individuals, paying all expenses, and keeping them almost as serfs until the debt was paid at usurious rates of interest, their servitude sometimes lasting as Jong as 20 years. The community where there was.a large Oriental population was a mighty poor one for j'tho sale of manufactured goods ana !tlie food products of the" ^white men. iThey paid almost . nothing into the irevenues of the country.'' Mr. Stevens then dealt with the constitutional aspect of the niattor claiming that it "r was the inherent right of Canada' to determine;the conditions upon which anyone* might be admitted within the bounds of the state:-" This was recognized m the "Immigration Act and'other Canadian" statues arid the Imperial Government had recognized - that rightr All we"have to do is to exercise our rights. For, himself he stood, for the'exclusion of the Asiatic "as a permanent resident of Canada. Hoir��������� Arthur-Meighen took a very, emphatic position for the exclusion of the Asiatic. The - increase in numbers was alarming; assimilation- was impossible; the attitudte of British Columbia towards the problem, was shared by everyone who had looked into the question. ��������� Reviewing all the circumstances it was surely not illogical, he said, to conclude thai, what had" been done was not sutlic- ieht to-meet the situation. At Ue conference of Premiers which he attended in England last s,ummer tne opinion" was expressed emphatically that full and-unrestricted cpntiol o.. Oration.'rested -in each Dominion- of the Empire,-and as a-^matter ot fact, effective exclusion already exists in other parts ot the Empi e. -Let it-be. understood," he said, "that so far as I am c?n~���������edwill, favor exclusion. Restriction wil not do. That is the position I take on this motion, and I appeal to the government to help us reach a word- ins- that will leave no doubt in the SfnSof the people of Canada or in the minds of the people of Japan as to just what the will of this Parliament iS Another member of the Meighen Administration, in the P���������������;^1^ Dr. Tolmie of Victoria carried on the debate in an effective speech Lorn the standpoint of one who had been born and brought up m British Col umbia. Dr. Tolmie detailed in a graphic maimer the development of the Orienetal menace,, tracing the growth of the invasion from the time when there was only one Chinese store in Victoria down to the present time when orientals control much of the business of (.he,. East,' -and have' - practically a hionopoly of truck farming on Vancouver. Island. He pointed out how (he Hawaiian Islands are now overrun by .Japanese, and dwelt upon the troubles caused in California through the same cause. He -warned' members from Ontario and the eastern sections .of Canada . that the day was not far distant when its difficulties and dangers, how experienced by British Columbia, would make- themselves felt in all' - -parts of Canada. The debate thus brought'those on . the government side and every member who-had spoken to a point where all were of one mind as to the necessity for exclusion'. The resolution proposed by Mr.' MacQuarrie would . have very effectively expressed this sentiment. But Plon. Charles Stew- ' art, minister of Immigration, was : put up ' to move an amendment :-r which would substitute "restriction" ��������� for ''exclusion." Premier King had - previously spoken and held that ,- there "were-lions in the path." H*: -;. thought Chinese could be restricted '��������� by a passport system, and that - it ;"' was to our interest to admit students. Parliament, in considering the ques- ������������������ tion. of the exclusion of . Japanese .- [should consider very carefully the effect on the possible development1, of trade with the Orient: He urged, that we should negotiate'' with the.'; Japanese Government ��������� and find ' if they have any objection to the-clause" in the Immigration Act being applied to later amendments' ��������� to our laws. , He thought the Japanese Government, had lived up to the Lemieux Agree- . ment. The word "exclusion" , too had come to have a meaning.which , was most offensive to the Oriental people. In'short, "effective-restriction" was as far as - the Government , was prepared to go and as, Mr.,Crera'r was lying in wait in the offing pre- . pared to, come to the support ,'of" the - Government,' that was as, jar a\. the vote carried the matter. , . Just how effective this ."restric- . tion" will be, and when, if ever,:-. ,it. will be put info operation,-', remains to be seen; but in the meantime -the;, Conservative party has ,gone bn4 record in the most effective manner, as.. in favor of absolute exclusion, and. the sentiment of practically ..every member of the House who spoke on the subject supported .that attitude.. One supporter of ' the government even went so far as .to. .break away. from his party on the yote ��������� and sup-- port the resolution of the member, from New.

SOME TIMELY A I)VIOB . -V ABOUT MOTOR .TOURING ...v' / -. To the beginner .in motor.ing, tour-., ing may seem like a simple . .proposi- .- , . tion of driving along a road until you get to your fixed objective. In real- ��������� . ity there is a lore of touring, quite as . definite as woodcraft, and the motorist who has learned how to tour, avoids trouble that his inexperienced - brother falls into. ' In planning any extended .motor trio the first essential is' to get a dependable-map. The California Stata Automobile Association publishes excellent maps, designed to serve the motor tourists' needs. These are kept up to date as the road changes occur and for that reason are better than route books which, though good in their way, cannot be brought, up to the minute as readily as the maps. Routes Now Colored In many parts of the country, particularly in New England, routes are now colored, the telegraph poles along the route being, painted with bands of a particular color or combination. With a map indicating- these colors, the tourist does not have to worry even with a map; ho simply follows the banded poles. ' Even at night the spotlight discloses the color on the poles. Now there is' a movement on foot to improve on this color scheme by giving distinctive numbers at all main through routes. And in this connection the motorist should always remember that.telegraph wires invariably lead to towns or cities, it is practically always safe to follow the telegraph wires. At a fork in the road, follow the wires, y unless definite directions to the contrary are at hand. Nearly all good roads follow the valleys along rivers and so do the railways. With tlie.se facts in mind, the motorist need not feci worried about getting off on a road that lear:* nowhere Always Seek Aid When it becomes necessary to ask directions, from some passerby, al-...; -ways try to enlist the aid of another , motorist. fn passing through cities.-the small city maps, which usually make part of-the- bigger maps or of the route book, are valuable in piloting the tourist through the urban section The motorist should remember also that the sun is an extremely valuable guide as to general direction. The sun's' progress serves to fix the two cardinal points of east and west in the traveler's mind. A compass, of course, is a valuable assistant.

MAKES MAIDEN SPEECH (Continued from Page Two) her, mighty rivers filled ' with fish, her fertile valleys that produce thirty and one hundredfold, her harbours and her emerald lakes nestling in the bosom of the everlasting hills; her snow-capped mountains filled with precious minerals; skirted with giant cedars and Douglas pine; her varied climate tirom the firty-ninth parallel to the Arctic circle, her golden sunsets and her midnight suns��������� Breathes there .the man; with soul eo dead, Who never to himself hath s'aid.^ This is my own, my native land! Whose heart hath . ne'er within .him burned, ��������� As home his footsteps he hath turned From wandering on a foreign strand? Mr. Speaker, I wish to read a proposed amendment. I do not intend to move it; because that would only ���������block or spread-eagle this' debate, and we do not want the discussion to take that form, but I want the House tolisten to'it in order that there may be an understanding of what is go ing to happen if something is not done to remedy the conditions which exist in British Columba. This' is the proposed amendment; that the following words be added to the resolution: And; if for imperial or other reasons it is considered unwise to stop all future immigraton of this kind to Canada, our immigration laws be so amended whereby all Orenfal aliens province of Ontario where they and ment, shall be taken in. bond to the oroyice of Ontario where they and tlieir offspring shall permanently reside, under a registration system, so long as they remain in Canada or until such time as' the oriental population of Ontario stands in the same ratio to the white population of Ontario as' prevails in the province of British Columbia, after.which another province may be substituted for that of Ontario. I do not want the province of ���������Quebec to be jealous or any other province. The object, Mr. Chairman, of this proposed amendment is to find out if the people of Ontario and the other provinces are prepared ti pay as high a price for imperial considerations as the people of British Columbia have paid. We offer you a draught from the bottle that for long years you have been pressing to our lips���������formulated ' by your own physicians, mixed in your own laboratory. I doubt if an hon. member in this House would be willing to advocate that-British Columbia should receive any more orientals. Assuming this to be correct, we have but two positions left: the one is in line with the resolution, total exclusion which. we British Columbians demand so far as least, as our province is concerned and which we recommend generally. The second and last position is that we cannot stop all oriental alien immigration to this country for various reasons, therefore, these Asiatics must be settled outside of British Columbia. If it is all right for British Columbia to be loaded to ���������the gunwale wth orientals it is ail right for the province of Ontario, if it is a good thing for the provinces of Ontario to be like British Clumbte, vote for the amendment. But if it is a bad thing for the province tf Ontario to be like British Columbia, why, vote for the resolution. We will take it as an evidence or British fair play and of good faith towards the province of British Columbia if you shall rid British Columbia BANQUET FOOTBALL BOYS c Thursday evening a free banquet was given ,by Mr. Haddrell to the football boys' and their friend players. That the banquet was of the best goes without saying since our genial host of the Abbotsford Hotel had it in charge. ' A pleasant evening was spent by the boys. An impromptu programme helped to make the evening still more pleasant. * . A petition" is being circulated among the merchants of the town to close the places of business at 6:30 week nights and 10 p. m. on Saturdays' and nights before holidays. Abbotsford is the only place in the Fra- ser Valley of any size that is still maintaining the unbuinesslike hours of 2 0 years ago. The petition ha:; been signed by every merchant .to whom it has been presented but one, and it is fully believed that by midsummer all stores will be compelled to close.

It may be said that Canada never forced the orientals' to settle in the province of British Columbia. Quite true, but Canada forces us to accept them by her disallowances, which brought the same result. PVeely we have received; freely we have given unto you. There is an old sayiiit, that what is good for the goose is good for the gander. We have been the goose long enough. , I suggest, Mr. Speaker, that'this* resolution and proposed amendment' are dead in line and ready for action if something is not soon done to arrest the blighting and withering effect of oriental occupation of the province ov British Columbia.
