SLAVE TRADING.
ASSISTANCE TO LIBERIA. LESS RED SEA TRAFFIC. British Wifeless. RUGBY. March 9. The Under-Secretary to the Foreign Office, Mr. H. Dalton, was questioned about the resolutions passed by the Liberia Committee of the League of Nations. In reply ho said the Liberian Government was represented on the committee, whose decisions were unanimous.
There was every reason to hope that the expert on general administration, who was proceeding to Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, would he able to propose suitable action to end the unsatisfactory state of affairs.
Air. Dal ton stated that no specific instances of slave trading across the lied Sea had been brought to the notice of the Government last year, although he feared " it was possible that shipments of slaves from the African to' the Arabian coast took place. The activities of the British sloops, and the measures taken by the French and Italian Governments, had undoubtedly reduced the traffic to comparatively small proportions."
