INDIANS IN FIJI.
INDENTURED LABOR TO CEASE.
By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received July 22, 5.5 p.m. London, July 21
The Australian Press • Association learns that the Fiji Council is about to introduce a special ordinance in compliance with the demands of the Indian Government guaranteeing that the position of Indian immigrants shall be equal to that of other subjects of the King. Mr. Kunzou, a member of the Legislative Council of the United Provinces, and Mr. Corbett, Deputy-Secre-tary to the Indian Government Com merce Department, will join Mr. Sastri’s commission, which is charged with reporting whether Indian colonisation in Fiji should be permitted under the new Emigration Bill. It is understood the abolition of indentured labor will be imperatively demanded, but there is no objection to Indiana proceeding to Fiji if a suitable, field for Indian colonisation is offered.—Aus.-N.Z.
