cuAP. Iv] IMMIGRATION OF COLOURED RACES 1099 made by the Aborigines Protection Society in favour of the natives, who were it was said civilized, and would be in great danger in going back to barbarous islands. This was borne out in part by Mr. Woodford, the Resident Commissioner of the Solomon Islands Protectorate, who pointed out in com- menting on a petition presented to the Governor-General, and sent to him for his observations, that in many cases the natives having in Queensland contracted illegal marriages, or violated tribal customs, would be in danger in case of repatriation. Mr. Philp also, as Premier of Queensland, suggested that Kanakas who had been a long time in the Colony should be allowed to remain. The matter received the careful consideration of the Imperial Government, but they declined to interfere in a matter within the full discretion of the Commonwealth Government, and as a matter of fact the Commonwealth not only carried out the deportation with all consideration, but also modified in 1906 (No. 22) the Act of 1901, and allowed those who had really settled in the country to remain there! The absence of the Kanakas has been made good by the payment of large bonuses on sugar produced by white labour.? § 6. Tee PRESENT Position The record of the Imperial Government in the matter of ~oloured races is satisfactory; the principle laid down of respect for treaties and for the rights of the Indian subjects of the King are obviously sound, and while the restriction on immigration is inevitable and in the interests of the Empire, everywhere except in South Africa the principle is being carried out that there shall be no discrimination between the resident Indian and the European population, and that even immigration shall not be prevented by direct legislation ; it is significant that, despite all efforts, the Commonwealth Parliament has hitherto declined to prohibit mixed marriages,® and the Government of Western Australia i See Parl.
