THE MORNING ASTORIAN, WoMA OREGON SATURDAY, DECEMBER si, 1907, r., , : I LIMIT EMIGRATION Japanese Government Will Stop Laborers Going Canada. METHODS OF LIMITATION Japan Will Hot Sacrifice Trtty RisMi Government Preparing Program of Administration Under Which Promise of Limitation Can be fulfilled. TOKIO. ike 20. Negotiations bet iween Canadian Minister of Labor, Rudolphe Lemieux. and the Japanese government, which have been delayed by hitch over details, will.be concluded with the next few days. It is Under stood that JEnister Lemieux has finally agreed to accept Japan's assurance that he will undertake the self-imposed task of limiting emigration to Canada, The exact method of limitation mill be left entirely in the hands of the Japanese government. It is stated that the hitch arose over the desire of the Canadian government to secure a definite promise in writing outlining the undertakings. This was positively declined by Japan because it would entail a sacrifice of treaty rights. Minister Lemieux also desired to secure from the Japanese government a note giving the exact number of laborers that the government proposed to allow to emigrate to Canada. This was also refused. There is reason to believe therefore, that the situation is exactly as has prev iously been stated by the Associated Press. Canada will receive a verbal as surance identical with that given the United States, the Japanese government declining to surrender any right con tained in its treaty of alliance with Great Britain whereby Canada became a nartr. The Japanese government is engaged in preparing a program of administration under which the promise of limitation ean be fulfilled. Minister Lemieux will nrobablv leave for Canada this "week. going by way of Siberia and through London. of the negotiations is not expected be-i fore the meeting of the diet when For eign Minister Hayaahi will make a state ment outlining the government policy. In this connection it is interesting to note that the government has practical ly decided to subsidise the Oriental CMoniaatioa Company. Former Prime Minister Count Katsura is the principal promoter of the company which has a capital of ten millions, with authority to issue debentures to the amount of one hundred million. The company will ad vance capital to emigrants to Korea to be repaid yearly. It is estimated that Korea offer room for three million emigrants. The colonis ing company will begin work is soon as a subsidy bill is passed by the diet. The government expects that this scheme will divert emigration entirely and indeed, it is not improbable that in consequence of this opening up 01 Korea and other sections the govern ment may decide to entirely stop the emigration of laborers.
