Copyright) LONDON, February 17 4 Under the auspices of the Anti-Slavery Aborigines Protection Society nineteen peers, six prelates (including the Archbishop of Canterbury), and many : free churchmen and Members of the , House of Commons will ask Mr Cham- I berlain to regard as vital the wishes j and welfare of the inhabitants, ascer- ! tainable by a commission, in con- j sidering the transfer of colonial ter- 1 ritories in connection with possible j German demands. The memorialists urge trusteeship | as the basis of, the policy, and add ; that the will of the population should be the governing principle, because forcible transfer might lead to wide- j spread victimisation and bloodshed. 1 Existing treaties must be observed, though a modification of the mandates might be advisable. *.
