THE RACE CONGRESS.
COLOURED PEOPLE'S CLAIMS.
By- Telegraph Press --Capjrrtx&l London, July 28. At the Universal Races Congress G. P. Gokhall stated that reform measures had arrested th; growing estrangement of Europeans and Indians, and the situation was steadily improving. A Chinese delegate urged the Congress to send a. protest to Australia and the United States asking for fair play for honest Chinese workmen, who were the most sober and lawabiding in the world. Mrs. Annie Besant said that Indians claimed freedom to live in the white people's countries. It was monstrous, she said, that whites claimed the best paid posts in.the coloured man's country, and- also claimed the right to shut him out of the white country.
