EQUAL TREATMENT FOR ALIENS

Norman Angell who was to deliver the first of a series of lectures on International Polity in Emerson D Saturday at 4.30 o'clock was delayed three days by storms at sea in crossing the Atlantic, and was unable to reach Cambridge for the lecture. Mr. G. W. Nasmyth 1G., introduced Professor S. L. Gulick of Doshisha University, Kyoto, Japan, and stated lecturer to the Imperial University, who spoke in Mr. Angell's place on "International Relations East and West."

Mr. Gulick's lecture is based upon twenty-six years of observation in Japan, and the closest contact with the Japanese leaders. The first part of his talk was a discussion of the relative relations between America, Japan, and China respectively. Japan and America are gradually drifting apart over the California land trouble. To prevent this, and to maintain to present friendly relations with China, the United States must give each of these countries a square deal.

Equality to Aliens.

He then went on to show the remedy for the existing conditions. The United States must adopt the fundamental principle of treating every race on a basis of absolute equality. Mr. Gulick would have citizenship placed on a personal basis, and not on one of race color. He suggested that the United States allow from any one country only five per cent of the number already naturalized to come in during a year. This would restrict to a small extent the immigration from southern Europe, and would reduce all immigration to a minimum. This five per cent rule would apply only to those who came here for the purpose of making a living, and not to students, tourists, or lecturers. Mr. Gulick's plan also includes registration for aliens and an educational bureau to teach them the principles and ideals of the United States. As the foreigners become better versed in these ideals, he would lower their registration fee, thus offering an incentive to the aliens to learn our method of living. Professor Gulick closed by saying that when we should accord our yellow brothers satisfactory treatment, we would find that,

"There is neither East nor West,

border, nor breed, nor birth,

When two strong men

stand face to face,

Tho' they come from the

ends of the earth."

Mr. Angell will deliver his lecture in the series at a later date.
