ASIATIC PROBLEM
AN LDIAN APPEAL FOR BETTER TREATMENT. ißy Telegraph—Preaa Aasoclatlou—Copyright.) LONDON. Nov. 17. Received Nov. 17, 10.55 p.m. The All-India Moslem League has appealed to the Secretary of the Colonies not to countenance any South African law making the repatriation of immigrants compulsory on the expiry of their indentures. Regarding Australia and New Zealand the League says that while complete freedom of immigration is beyond the scope of practical politics, the removal of the offensive racial bar is essential. To grant passports would do little lo mitigate the bitterness. The League suggests that the matter be referred to the Imperial Conference, whereat Indian representation should be more, ample and include natives.
