AUSTRALIAN CONTRACT LABOUR LAW.
By Telegraph.—Pre* Association.—Copyright.
(Received March 16, 10.9 p.m.)
London, March 16. In the House of Commons Mr. Edmund Robertson asked if, in view of the Australian contract labour law, the Government, considering the British taxpayers' burden for Imperial defence, would legislate to secure for all classes the right of entry into every part of the King's dominions. Mr.Lyttelton, the Colonial Secretary, replied that Australia provided entirely for its own military defence, and with New Zealand provided half of the estimated cost of the naval squadron. The Imperial Government had no intention of proposing such legislation.
