oiap. 1v] IMMIGRATION OF COLOURED RACES 1087 minor Acts, including a Factories Act, No. 22 of 1904, dis- sriminating against Asiatics, and a proposal to amend only resulted in a very violent attack in the Lower House in 1905 on the Imperial Government ;* while South Australia has still on the statute book several anti-Asiatic pro- visions, dating from 1901-62 and in its Aborigines Aet of 1910 (No. 1024) it forbids Asiatics having aborigines in their employment. But it is fair to say that, except as regards the Chinese, who remain a race apart, the feeling is now growing in Australia that the Asiatics in the country are entitled to full citizenship as far as possible, though the anti- Asiatic feeling is seen in the Act No. 26 of 1910, which forbids the emigration from Australia of children to Asiatic countries save under safeguard ; so the Old Age Pensions Act, No. 17 of 1908, of the Commonwealth, which excludes Asiatics and Africans generally, expressly gave pensions to Australian Asiatics, though Asiatics with Africans and Polynesians are excluded from the Commonwealth franchise under Act No. 8 of 1902, unless they are entitled to vote, as being voters for the Lower Houses in the states, and in only two states are Asiatics born there under any dis- abilities as to voting, viz® Queensland, where an Act of 1905, No. 1, and Western Australia, where an Act, No. 27 of 1907, have deprived the Asiatics of any vote at all in the Lower House elections, the restriction hitherto having been merelyin respect of the franchise on other than a freehold qualification. South Australia used to forbid Asiatic immigrants voting in the Northern Territories, but not persons born there. § 3. BrrTisa INDIANS AND JAPANESE IN CANADA In Canada there has been serious trouble both as regards Indians and Japanese. British Columbia, as usual, is the sause of the disturbance of peace. In 1897 an anti-Japanese + Parliamentary Debates, xxvil. 98 seq. So also Mining Act, 1904, and Barly Closing Act Amendment Act, 1904. But in 1909 a Fisheries Bill which penalized Asiatics was not carried in the Upper House, and in 1910 a Marriage Bill forbidding marriages with Asiatics in certain cases was not proceeded with. 2 Act No. 763. 8. 3: 839, ss. 19, 21, 50: 890, s. b.
