TRINIDAD'S TROUBLES
GOODWILL ESSENTIAL GOVERNMENT'S FIRM STAND (Received November 3, 6.5 p.m.) British Wireless RUGBY, Nov. 2 An announcement by the Governor of Trinidad, Sir Murchison Fletcher, formerly Governor of Fiji, states that any adjustment of the colony's industrial mechanism which may become necessary. must be slow and difficult. It will be impossible of accomplishment unless the problems are examined in an atmosphere of goodwill and quietness. The experience of recent months leads the Government to apprehend that illdisposed persons will continue their attempts to provoke discord and strife. The Government, for its part, is determined that there shall be no interference with the freedom of employers and mutual relationships on constitutional lines. As a precautionary measure, to strengthen the Governor in dealing with any threat to law and orderj the Government has asked that a company of regular troops be despatched to Trinidad. The British Government has concurred.
