THE CHINESE TROUBLE
N.Z. LABOUR PARTY VIEWS (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, July 21. The national executive of the Labour Party tit its last meeting considered thc industrial troubles in Shanghai, and decided to protest strongly against the use of British Imperial forces against the civil population. The party holds that thc trouble is essentially industrial and has its origin in the conditions described in the report by Agatha Harrison, who worked in China for so many years.
"If our object is peace,” says the executive, "then all facilities at the command of the British Government should be placed at thc disposal of that body of Christian people who for the ph st few years have been endeavouring to improve the lot of the Chinese workers. The position in China to-day repeats the history of the industrial revolution in Great Britain.”
