CANADAS UNITED STAND READJUSTMENT OF TREATY By Cable. —Press Associa ' ign. — Copyright. Reed. 9.5 a.m. VANCOUVER, Tues The movement to exclude Orientals from Canada has assumed an acute stage. The Prime Minister, Mr. W. L. Mackenzie King, has promised to table all correspondence in the House of Representatives on the question. Mr. J. S. Woods worth. Labour member for Winnipeg, called attention to the anti-Oriental propaganda received through the mails by members of Parliament. Yesterday the British Columbia Legislature filed a resolution calling for a readjustment of the Japanese treaty for the repatriation of Chinese and Japanese residents, and new restrictions to prevent the entry of other Orientals to Canada. The resolution is a result of both parties collaborating. There are 46,500 Orientals in British Columbia at the present time. There ia strong demand for a white Canada. In regard to repatriation, it is suggested tat it should be confined to such a number of Orientals in the country, as will reduce their proportion to the Canadian population to the level of the proportion of Canadians in China and Japan to the populations of those countries.—A. and N.Z.-Sun.
