KANAKA LABOUR IN QUEENSLAND.
ADMIRAL ERSKINE'S VIEWS. Press Association.—Electric Telegraph.— Copyright* London, May 21. It is considered possible that the introduction of Kanaka labour will result in an increased vote for the western mail service. Admiral Erskine, who for some time was on the colonial station, in a letter to one of the leading dailies, observes with sorrow and dismay the attitude that has been adopted by the Imperial Government in the matter. He considers that even under the most stringent regulations wrongs and abuses of the traffic will occur, leading invariably to reprisals and bloodshed. The proposed recruiting in New Guinea, he states, is contrary to the terms of the protectorate.
