LABOUR IN SAMOA.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copryight. London, July 5 Replying to Messrs Wtdgwood, Benu and Kiley, who complained of tbe reindenture of Chinese labourers in Samoa before the issue of the mandate, Mr Amery emphasised that the matter was entirely within the control of the New Zealand Government. The Imperial Government was never at any time responsible for the administration of Samoa. He did not doubt that any representations ty Samoan chiefs against Chinese would receive the fullest consideration of the New Zealand Govermnent. Mr Ameiv declined to submit the question .of forbidding Chinese indentured labour in the mandated areas to the Council of the League of Nations.
