Soon after their arrival there Mrs. Bogradoif appeared. She as- serted that the attempt to kidnap the child was in retaliation for her refusal earlier in the day to draw her savings of $300 from a bank and elope with Zelencliy. She said she had known Zelenchy in Russia before the death of her husband, two years ago, and that he had followed her and her three children to this country.

Government Cables Premier Re- garding Anglo-Japanese Treaty

VICTORIA, lune 2C~—'I‘he provin- cial Government, through Premier Oliver, has forwairded to tlie Right Hon. Arthur Meiglien in London a cablegram strongly urging that an-y renewal of the Anglo-Japanese treaty should preserve to Canada the right to restrict Japanese iiiiini- gration, something which the exist- ing treaty does not stipulate.

in connection with this subject, i-Ion. E. G. Darrow, Minister of Agriculture, has collected data showing to what extent Japanese anid Chinese are engaged in the business of agriculture and horti- culture ln this province. This infor- ma-tion has been forwarded to Hon. Dr. Toliiric. who is ‘accompanying Premier Mciglien on his mission to England.

lThe text of‘ the cablegram for- warded to Premcr Moiglie-ti is as folloiws: .

“Strongly urge on behalf of ‘this province that renewal of Japanese treaty preserve to Canada right l0 restrict Japanese immigration in tlie interests of a white British .Col nfmliia. Minister of Agriculture has ‘already furnished "Polm-le with facts supporting _our contention. Minister of Justice iia.s advised. anid ls supported by Court of Ap- peal, that present. treaty precludes this province stipulating in public works con-tracts against employ- ment of Japanese and precludes stipulation i.n leasing Crown lands against employment of Orientals thereon. Stronglyprotest against renewal treaty containing clause so interpreted, and urge you to preserve tior this prowl-nee its right to control its o\vn lands and make its o\vii contractual stipulation.
