SLAVES IN LIBERIA
ATTITUDE OF LABOUR CABINET. British Official Wlreleai RUGBY, February 18. Asked if the Government had made further representations to Liberia on the League Commission’s report, Mr Arthur Henderson said they were not necessary. The Council had set up a Committee to examine how best to assist the Liberian Government. He was chairman of the Committee, which was meeting in London on February 26. In reply to a question regarding the shipping of slaves in the Red Sea, Mr Henderson said two naval sloops were stationed there to prevent slave traffic from Africa to Arabia. Otherwise no steps had been taken recently, but the question was under consideration. He hoped shortly to make a statement on information on the subject of slavery to be furnished by the League in accordance with an Assembly resolution.
