THE JAPANESE.

"Japan does not now send to the American Locomotive Trust for locomotives, she makes them herself,'' eyas Professor W. T. 'Mills, of Milwaukee, now on a visit to Niew Zealand. "Don't brag about your superiority over the Japanese until you cat&h up witih them. The result of tih.e expulsion of Asiatics from America has* been tliat the industries m whacli they were .employed ! were transferred to Ciiina, wlliere, with American capital, Japanese supervisors, and cheap coolie labour tliey were able to produce 'So cheaply as to successfully manufacture the goods for their own support, and to defeat the Americans in their own market. The whites cannot afford to admit the yellow man, and the yellow main cannot afford to 'send his cheap labourers to be exploited by English and American private monopolists. If Australia is to be a great country, it will give universal industrial training to every child, and will encourage the capable immigrant instead of 'helping out the. incapable who cannot get a living in his own country. Japan is ambitious, and became a world Power (by compulsion, and under her own protest; China has been opened up* and by our ibayonets. The place where material is cheapest and labour tlhe most helpless is. the place that will proj'duce for the world's market -what the world's market can take.' We ! don't exclude the Japanese because wo liate liim; it is 'because we fear him; not because he can't do things, but because ihe can do things, and will do us. The only hope for Labour anywhere is industrial justice everywhere."
