1082 ADMINISTRATION AND LEGISLATION [PART V immoral, or he is a pauper, or he has some other objection which can be defined in an Act of Parliament, and by which the exclusion can be managed with regard to all those whom you really desire to exclude. He then reiterated his approval of the Natal principle, and invited the adoption of a settlement which would spare the feelings of the Indian subjects of the Queen while protecting the Colonies from any invasion of the class to whom they would justly object. The Conference ended without a definite settlement, but the report expressed confidence that a solution on the lines indicated was possible. The Natal Act No. 1 of 1897 referred to in the speech by Mr. Chamberlain embodied the principle of a test of writing in a Huropean language an application for admission in a pre- scribed form, as well as excluding paupers, idiots, diseased per- sons, criminals, and prostitutes, and it was held up to approval also as regards the question of Japanese susceptibilities in a dispatch of October 20, 1897, from Mr. Chamberlain to the Australian Colonies, which was published in Australia! In it he said that M. Kato, the Japanese Minister, would be satisfied by the exclusion of Japanese by a language test, and the same principle might well be adopted with regard to Indians. Western Australia legislated in 1897 (No. 13) on these lines. New South Wales proceeded to adopt this principle in 1898 (No. 3), the Bill being restricted to the writing test by the Legislative Council, and Tasmania did so in 1898 (No. 69), while New Zealand adopted a similar Act (No. 33) in the next year. In Victoria the two Houses disagreed, and nothing was done. But in 1900, according to a return given to the House of Commons? no restrictions had been adopted in South Australia, in Victoria, or in Western Australia, except that a special Act of 1897 provided for the introduction of indentured labour, and in Queensland there were certain minor restrictions?
