BISHOP CHERRINGTON’S SUGGESTION BRINGING IN MILLIONS FROM JAPAN CONSIDERED “VERY FAIR” IN THAT COUNTRY By Telegraph—Press Association. Copyright. TOKIO, July 13. Questioned regarding the New Zealand Bishop Cherrington's suggestion that the Japanese settle New Zealand and Northern Australia, Mr Iguchi, a Japanese Government spokesman, said that the idea -was “very fair.” Asked if Japan was prepared to export 5,000,000 people, Mr Iguchi answered: “Yes.” In the course of his charge to the Waikato Synod on Monday, the Rt Rev C. A. Cherrington, Bishop of Waikato, said in part:—Look at the waste in New Zealand —miles and miles of land that our scanty populations cannot make use of. Why not offer large tracts to the Japanese. We have all sorts of people of different blood living side by side with us now, and it is no disadvantage to us. If only five millions were admitted, New Zealand would not know itself for the wealth that would ensue.” Politically speaking, such a procedure might be regarded as wrong and chimerical, but the matter had to be considered from the Christian point of view or one's Christian beliefs meant nothing.
