1098 ADMINISTRATION AND LEGISLATION [PART V and arrangements were made in 1909 direct with the Portu- guese Government for the deportation of Asiatics via that territory. In the summer of 1909 the matter was discussed by Lord Crewe with Mr. Smuts and Mr. Gandhi, but nothing was done up to the coming into existence of the Union. Since Union the Government of India has under the power given by an Act of 1910 decided to prevent immigration from India to South Africa with effect from July 1, 1911, on the ground that there is no security that the Indians will be allowed to become citizens of the Union if they so desire after the expiration of their indentures. On the other hand, the Government of the Union decided to meet the wishes of the Indians by passing an Immigration Aci in 1911 on the usual method with a short language test, which on the Australasian model is based on dictation of fifty words in any language (not in theory necessarily European) in pre- ference to the mere writing of an application in a European language of Natal and the Cape. At the same time Mr. Smuts has announced that the regulation would not prevent the entry of a few educated natives every year for the require- ments of the community as regards law. medicine, and religion 1 § 5. THE KANAKAS IN AUSTRALIA There remains one case to be considered, that of the deportation of the Kanakas who were introduced into Queens- land for the purpose of work on the sugar plantations. At first the introduction of these Pacific Islanders was conducted with much brutality, and kidnapping was common ; it was at last regulated in some measure by Imperial Acts of 1872 and 1875, and by Colonial Acts which it was hardly, however, possible adequately to enforce in the utterly barbarous condition of the islands. It was, however, felt in the south that a white Australia was essential, and the Commonwealth passed in 1901 an Act (No. 16) which arranged for the deporta- tion of all Kanakas within a few years. Representations were Magda v. Registrar of Asiatics, ibid., 397; Ho Si v. Vernon, ibid., 1074; Chotabhai v. Minister of Justice and Another, {1910] T. P. 1151 (reversed on appeal, 4 Buch. App. 305) ; Ismail v. Rex, [1908] T. 8. 1088; Lalloo v. Rex, ibid. 624, ! See Parl. Pap., Cd. 5579; 5582, p. 47.
