NO SLAVERY OF CHINESE AUSTRALIAN CUSTOMS OFFICERS’ DENIAL Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright SYDNEY, June 9. Customs officers at Sydney ridicule the suggestion by the Hangchow chief of police, that innocent Chinese girls and boys are being sold into slavery and sent to South Africa and Australia. The Customs officers say that the Chinese girls and women entering Australia could be numbered on one hand, and all could be traced by photographs and fingerprints. [A message received yesterday stated: The ‘ Daily Mirror ’ attributes the presence of the Hangchow Chief of Police, Chao Lung Wen, at the International Police Conference to the fact that innocent peasant girls and boys are being sold for slavery in South Africa and Australia, the girls to houses of ill-repute and the boys .o work in mines. The paper says the Chinese conduct the traffic.]
