The Legislature passed an Act requiring that logging permits for Crown lands 'Jhould go only to those employing White labor, but the Judicial Com- mittee of the Privy Council found that Act ultra vires. One of“ the worst features of the situation is the fact, stated by the Vancouver World, that in the past it years the birth rate of the Japanese in British 00-! lumbia has risen from a ratio of l to 25.2 of whites, to t to l3.

There must be determination to prevent Asiatic supremacy. ‘ F Chinese 'and Japanese are promin- ent now in agriculture. mining, lum- bering, fishing and retail trading. They have obtained almost a mum- .0poly of fishing, and a Dominion Commission has recommended the cutting down of the number of li- censes issued. They have invaded mining. The coal mines of Vancou- ver Island are manned by Japanese ~â€"potential soldiers of the Mikado. The Chinese have thousands of acres in the most fruitful valleys, living on nothing, practically, and con- stantly buying. more land. White Settlers have to band together to pre-i vent sale or more land to them. Chi-l m A8117": Illi- ' " ll um" cownu .

The remains of the Maya civilization, which flour- ished in Yucatan a thousand years ago, have as yet been little explored. The cities and temples were so nu- merous that remains are to be seen nearly everywhere. So far as is now known the civilization of the Mayas is a native growth and had in). connection either with Europe or with Asia before the time of Columâ€" bus. Their greatest achievements were making a calendar based on astronomical study, building their temples and inventing a complicat- ed system of hierOglyphic Writing. who follow the procedure recom- r.~.-‘mled raise twelve hundred pounds (4' seed cotton to the acre, which is much more than the average in the United States. The potential cotton belt of China extends from eighteen degrees to forty-three degrees north latitude, and the loess soil there, as in the Mississippi basin, is well suited to the plant. Lately several Chinese societies have been formed to learn the best methods of raising cotton, I?» get the best varieties grown in other countries and to combat dis- eases and pests.

Mr. Biggs gave the deputation a sympathetic hearing and was pleased with the co-Operation given in. the system of roadmaking under the Department. The request would be favorably considered' by the De- partment of Highways, assured the Minister, but he was not prepared to make any prom'isesflt the present time. As explained in previous in- terviews, Mr. Biggs has assumed all the Provincial roads that the De- partment could handle at the present time, and it was the intention to make ' the now _ County-Provincial Roads, Provincial Roads as soon as time and Opportunity permitted. Like the Meaford-Owen Sound High- way it would be assumed in the next draft, let that be one or five years.
