Before
House
OTTAWA,
February
18:
(CP)-This
is
no
time
for
Canada
to
risk
offending
Oriental
pride
and
dignity
by
passing
an
exclusion
law
against
the
Japen-ese,
Prime
Minister
William
Lyon
Mackenzie
King
warned
the
House
last
night.
International
affairs
were
bad
enough,
particularly
in
the
Orient,
without
Canada
adding
fuel
to
a
fire
that
might
strike
back
not
only
against
the
Dominion
but
the
British
Empire
as
a
whole.
The
Prime
Minister
made
his
statement
before
adjourning
the
debate
on
a
bill
sponsored
by
A.
W.
.
Neill,
Independent
member
for
Comox-Alberni,
which
would
have
amounted
to
immigration
exclusion
against
the
Japanese
by
placing
them
on
parity
with
the
Chinese.
Mr.
King
agreed
with
British
Columbia
members
supporting
the
bill
that
a
serious
situation
existed
in
the
Pacific
Coast
province
because
of
Japanese
immigration
with
consequent
unfair
competition
against
white
Canadians
resulting
from
conflicting
standards
of
living.
