In tho last three years that our commercial club has been In existence and In toucn with the Portland Commercial club, we have grown from an obscure locality with a few fruit ranches going. along as boot they could, every man by himself, to a thriving village, with a good coun try back of it, and ten times the arc of land cleared and set to trees that wo had three years ago.

In speaking , of the governor's action In vetoing the bill, Speaker Rusk, the father of the bill, who Is still at the capltol made the following statement: "I am one of the lawyers who is not a constitutional lawyer, but I do not believe this bill is unconstitutional and I believe it comes clearly within the provisions of sections 1 and 1 of ar ticle II of the constitution. Further, that this being a provision relating to primary elections, X dc not believe the constitution has anything to do with it, as the legislature has complete control over such matters Irrespective of the constitution.

Regulations have just been is sued that will have theffect practi cally to expel- the orlentalswho are en gaged in the pearl fisheries on the north coast of West Australia. Although the trade is worth to the commonwealth about 100,000 pounds sterling, the gov ernment has made no scruple in carry ing out Its policy. The ostensible reason for the min istry's action Is that tbe "white Aus tralia" policy permits no infringement such as that caused by the presence of the pearlers on the coasts, but the real reason. It is said, is that the authorities charged with the duty of securing the defense of the Island continent are anx ious lest the Japanese should have an opportunity to spy out the land.

Examination of the treaty in full shows that all ret erenoe to immigration of the Japanese Is omitted. . All references thereto con tained in the existing treaty have been dropped out and absolutely nothing has been substituted 'covering that matter. It is rumored that Senator Chamberlain made a strong statement in executive session in protest against It, end that he drew attention to the fact that whereas the existing treaty reserves spe cifically the right of this governmept to limit or exclude Japanese Immigra tion, the proposed treaty omits mention of It. ; ' .' The satement signed by the. Japanese ambassador that accompanied the treaty on its. transmission to the senate merely declares that Japan has power to con trol the coming of Japanese to this country, but the ambassador's state ment does not oontain any pledge by the Japanese government that it will limit or oontrol such Immigration. ' It does not admit of doubt that if the treaty la ratified, and it seems certain it will be, the United States will thereby completely turn over to Japan, all con trol of immigration to this country. . The administration will invoke the doctrine that a treaty with a f oretgn power is a supreme law of the land, and that no state can legally' enact or enforce any law impinging in any de gree on such treaty stipulations. When, therefore, the treaty has been ratified the Paciflo states must accept accord ing to the administration's contention the situation thus created and will be helpless to protest against conditions that may later develop. ? .Most of the eoast members Will sup port the treaty, Jones, Piles.
