Mr W. G. Bishop, Ohau, Levin speaking of the-increase of Asiatics in that district, at the general meeting of the Levin branch of the R.S.A, on Monday night, said that the danger of such an increase was a social one, and applied particularly t,p that district where there was a native population. Another important point was that where Asiatics settled it was difficult to get white people to live, and it was not. fair to returned soldiers who had taken up farms to allow Asiatics to come into a district and lower the value of their land by lowering the desirability of the district as a place in which to live. He considered that every district should have a local option on the subject, of excluding Asiatics.
