WELLINGTON, Jan. 29. At the request of Australians in .Johannesburg, who asked bina to send • a xnessage, Mr Sedddn has despatched the folio wing^ to the Secretary of* -the. Anti-Asiatic League in Capetown ;*— I earnestly hope, in the true interests of South Africa, . that the movement to introduce Asiatic labour will not succeed. , If such were to be the result of the great sacrifices' made, it would cause heartburnings and a fecl-^ ing of widespread disappointment. As oiie 7 knowing the Chinese oik the goldfields of Australia and N.Z., I asv sert that they would bej no use for underground w-jorlc, and would prove undesirable colonists iri| every sense of the word.*.
