Chinese Says Countrymen Are
Leaving Coast.
LABOR GREATLY NEEDED
Therefore. Conn Dip Pays, the Bars
Should He Let Down for Few
Thousand ETcry Tear Proph
esies a War Soon.
SEATTLE. AVash.. April 7. (Special.)
That the I'nited States should relax in
some depree the Chinese immigration
laws is the opinion of Goon Dip, a pio
neer Chinese merchant of Portland, who
has lived on the. Coast for 30 years.
"There were 150,000 Chinese on the
Coast 10 years ago," said Goon Dip, who
speaks Knglish fluently, "and today there
are not more than 60.000. In 10 years
more, unless Congresr should change ex
isting laws, there will be hut 10.000 or
15.000. The Pacific Coast Chinese are
either dying off or returning to China.
Many that visit their native land never
return to this country because of the
difficulty of entering. It seems to me
the Government should treat the Chinese
as liberally as it doc the Japanese or
other alien races. ' A few thousand Chi
nese should ba allowed to come to the
Coast annually. They furnish a kind of
labor which is much needed and for
which the whites are unfitted.
"Besides, China as a nation is advanc
ing and. with America's Interest
In the Orient, she should treat the Chi
nese more fairly."
Goon Dip has for years supplied all the
Chiheso labor for the Northern canner
ies. ' He predicts that the next war In
the Orient will come as a result of the
greed and rapacity of the Russians and
Japanese and says that such a conflict
is inevitable, in order that China's hold
ings in aianchuria may not be despoiled.
