Vo. I, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1914. No. 43.

The problem of Hindu immigration into Canada is altogether
in the power of Canadians to determine for themselves, But
neither the Canadian government nor the Canadian people forget
their relations to the rest of the Empire. They do not wish to em-
barass the Imperial government in dealings with the people of In-
dia, or with foreign Asiatic states. The Imperial government has
suffered much and paid high for the liberly allowed ta the self-

.

governing dominions, and the dominions themselves should be wil-

ling to pay part of the price, says an exchange. If the acceptance
of a few hundred or even a few thousand Asiatic settlors every
year would relieve Great Britain of some pyeat strain or peril,
Canada would consent, though British Columbia. might fairly in-
sist that they should not all be deposited in this province. Let the
Komogata Maru go to Quebec on her next trip, ‘
But what if those who insist that Canada shall not be colonized
by Asiatics, British or foreign, should be found the true friends
and protectors of the Empire? What if it should appear that the
open door of Canada toward Asia is the way of strife and bitter-
ness, the quickest means of promoting discontent and rebellion in
‘India? It will be possible in five years to introduce into British
Columbia a servile population which will monopslize avery un-
skilled employment and most of the skilled trades, Jt will be easy
tu divide the population into one class of professional or trading
and superintending people and anolher which will do the labor.
We can make British Columbia another Natal, or Cuba, or Seylon,
or Hawaii or Ancient Greece,
Will the Empire be any the better of stronger for this? Will
we escape race bitterness? Will the Hindus findin such conditions
the equality which they demand? We cannot admit: them by

egreement, or as a contribution to Imperial interests, and shut’

them out of employment on public works, We must give them
the rights of other citizens or the cause of complaint will be greater!
than itisnow, If we do not accept them all in all we might as
not admit them at all. .
if this isan imperial question Iet there be an imperial confer-
ence on it, Let Australia and South Africa be heard. It should
be clearly and distinctly stated what consequences might be ex.
pected from the open door. There is no wisdom in throwing the
gate open without first considering what is to be the status of the
people who are permitted to enter. he problem must be faced
- from all its aspects. We believe that it is better for the peace of
‘the Empire and for the peace of India, that the present policy
should be maintained. Ifa policy promoting the economic and
social welfare of Canada should conflict with the peace and safety
of the Empire, we should owe a'duty to the Empire as well as to
ourselves. But we believe that there is no such conflict, and that
under existing circumstances the. prudent Canadian policy. is also

the policy dictated by sympathy, charity, Justice and imperial’

loyalty. :

The Peace Centenary

(i . — .
The movement for celebrating
the hundred years of peace be-
tween the British Empire and
the United States is, judging by
a circular just issued by the Can-
_adian Peace Centenary Associa-
tion, taking rapid hold in Canada,
Great Britain’ and “the United
States,

The general proposals contain
four main features: (1) monu-
ments and other memorials, (2)
thanksgiving services in the};
churches, (3) educational, propa-|}-

' garda, (4) festivities,

The circular enumerates various
suggestions regarding the erec-

_ tiofi of monuments, and. states
‘that the matter has been refer-
red toan international committee.

February 14, 1915, has been se-
lected for Thanksgiving Serviées
in all the churches of the British
Enipité dnd’ the’ United: States,

Science and Prospecting ;
The field apparatus invented

by Ing. Ulivi, which can locate
and explode a magazine ora mine
at considerable distance, by
means of the “F”’ rays, is con-
ceded to have a high value as a
weapon of war; and that is prob-
ably the primary value of the
discovery, However, the invent-
or has stated that the great-
est value of his invention wiil ul-
timately be found.in a purely
commercial field, namely, the lo-
cating of mineral deposits in the
earth,
. The secret of the apparatus
lies, of course, with the inventor,
but he has given the following
general information in regard to
the operation of the ‘FE’? rays:
The apparatus us used by Inp,
Ulivi is equipped with resonators.
The ‘‘F’’ rays directed or aimed

ators to sound tones which vary
in accordance with the body
through which the rays pass. In
his experiments in setting off ex-
plosives by means of the “I”?
rays, Ing. Ulivi has specialized
on the note or tone given out by

counter the explosive and its con-
tainer. ‘The sounding of that
note gives him the accurate di-
rection, after which the rays are
intensified or focussed, so to
speak, until the explosion accurs,
Parenthetically it might be ad-
‘ded that the “‘F? rays, under
the Ulivi system, are valueless
against explosives which cannot
be fired by ignition. _

In the course of- these experi-
ments Ing. Ulivi has discovered
that ‘the various metals encoun-
tered by the rays each has a dis-
tinctive tone on the resonators,
which tone varies in accordance
with the character , volume, and

countered. The inventor be-
lievea that an apparatus of the].
type now used by him, perfected

ifying different metals and their
volumes, could be employed with
certainty in the exploration of
mineral lands and in locating ore-
bearing ledges, -

Mining Looks Up

Mr, Thomas. Taylor, Miniater
of Public Works, has. returned
from the Interior with avery op-
timistic report as to the condition
of the. mining industry. His
statements bear out what Sir
Richard McBride told © Cotonse
readers a year ago to expect.

. They endorse what Mr, Good-
eve told us to expect-a few days
ago. They corroborate thescores
of reports made by_private. indi-
viduals, -There is not in Koote-
nay ‘anything bearing | the faint-
eat resemblance » to ‘a: mining
