INDIAN LABOUR. THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, January 30. The appointment of Lieutenant Hessa Muddin, an Indian commissioned officer, as a member of the Fiji delegation, is regarded as an indication of the Indian Government’s desire to discover whether Fiji affords facilities for the settlement of Indian ex-service men. It is hoped by the introduction of a higher and responsible class of Indian immigrant to lead to a better understanding between Indian and the Fiji colonists over the handling of problems connected with the employment of Indian labour. Much satisfaction is felt in India at the prospect of Mr Hughes conferring with the delegation.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
