UNITED STATES AND JAPAN.
A- f - COLONIST'S IMPRESSIONS.
Received July 2, 9.10 a.m. LONDON, July 1
The Hon. 0. Samuel, a member of the Queensland Legislative Council, who has -eturned from .a visit to China and Japan, in the course of an .interview, said that over the schools question a great deal of feeling had been aroused in Japan against California. There was a strong war spirit amongst the troops', who thought there was now nothing to be taught them in the art of war. Consequently they were not afraid of a conflict with the United States. Japan appeared to be prepared to enforce her right to be regarded as a first-class Power.
Even in the land of the Mikado, said Mr Samuel, the labour problem had to be solved. Artisans were 'demanding increased wages and permanent employment, as the result of an increase in the price of the necessaries of life. A number of societies had been formed in the large cities for the purpose of protecting the interests and improving the condition s of the labouring classes. The condition of the. Japanese labouring classes was deplorable. The wage a paid were inadequate.
