Major

pointed

the

keeping
within

He
referred
to!
the

which'
had
been
already
obtained
through:
the
improvement

from

Mr.

reported
'
that
a

1836
signatures
had
been
obtained
for
the
recent
petitions
requesting
that
Prince

In

(declared
Rev.
C.
D.
Clarke,
pastor
of
First
United
Church,
In
an
address
before
the
Junior
Section
of
(the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce
at
1U
monthly
dinner
meeting
last
night
in
the
Knox
Hotel.
"We
have
the
-power
to
remedy
by
government
action
this
Oriental
economic
problem
which
we
created
ourselves,"
asserted
Mr.
Clarke.
"It
can
be
done."
British
Columbia's
Oriental
problem
was
an'
economic
one,
declared
Mr.
Clarke.
The
Orientals
had
been
brought
here
In
the
first
place
to
provide
cheap
labor.
The
white
laboring
people
had
'been
the
first
to
Then
they
had
been
held
out
as
a
menace.
At
that,
Mr.
Clarke
questioned
the
efficiency
of
the
Oriental
Individually
In
doing
work
as
compared
with
white
men.
The
Oriental
problem,
from
a
social
standpoint
would
be
ultimately
settled
by
assimilation,
Mr.
Clarke
believed.
No
barrier
of
law
could
prevent
It
Mingling
of
races
through
history
had
occurred
despite
efforts
to
stop
it.
From"
an
ecoiiomic-'
'Standpoint,
however,
the
Oriental
problem
ould
be
controlled.
The
government
had
the
power
to
set
a
stan
dard
of
wages
and
require
employers
to
pay
Orientals
as
high
wages
as
whites.
Regulation
of
hours
of
work
could
and
should
be
aDDlled
to
Orientals
as
well
as
whites.
Slum
conditions
need
not
be
allowed
in
Chinatown.
The
government,
had
the
power
to
regulate
all
these
things.
Instead
of
letting
the
Orlen-
tals
lower
the
general
standard
of
wages
and
living,
they
could
and
should
be
compelled
to
raise
their
standards.
Then
much
would
have
been
done
to
solve
the
problem,
Problem

Problem.
The
Orientals
were
British
Columbia's
problem.
Other
places
had
their
problems.
It
had
been
the
case
down
through
history.
At
the
time
of
Nero
ninety
percent
of
the
people
of
Rome
had
Oriental
blood
In
their
veins.
This
had
been
due
to
the'
importation
of
slaves.
Due
to
intermingling,
there
was
not
an
Italian
family
today
that
could
trace
itself
back
to
the
Romans.
United
States
had
its
negro
problem.
There
was
no
such
thing
as
ra-
the
remote
corners
of
the
globe.
They
had
changed
ln
natural
characteristics
and
appearance.
It
was
interesting
to
speculate
on
what
the
future
would
bring.
Would
there
be
a
levelling
of
all?
Would
there
be
a
combining
of
races
by
assimilation?
Russia
boasted
of
having
found
a
basis
under
which
people
of
many
races
could
live
together.
As
long
as
people
of
different
races
lived
together,
there
would
be
assimilation.
It
had
been
the
history
of
the
world
despite
all
efforts
that
might
have
been
made
to
prevent
it.
It
was
something,
however,
that
no
barriers
could
stop.
