White Races' Ban on Immigration How to find vent for her surplus population, now increasing at the rate of 750,000 a year, is one of the most difficult problems facing Japanese statesmen, and may in some measure explain the tion's expansive policy, says the Tokio correspondent of the "Morning Post."
