= desirable Tor the carrying on OF the agfl
Z cultural enterprises Of the country tina
the introduction OF the Chinese be con
} tinued, we believe il to be wise that thi
. class Of lahorers be better controlled an,
regulated, and that the necessary legis
lstion be enacted to restrict those now il
the country lin the capacity OF laborers
or who may hereafter be introduced
from engaging in trade or the mechanical
occupations, but not 10 affect the rights
now enioyed by Chinese in the country
engaged in such mercantile and mechan.
ical occupations.
And be il further Resolved. that W.
believe il advisable, and desire that, il
practicable, no labor contracts shalt be
required as prerequisite 10 the future
introduction Of Chinese into the country.
Following the reading Of this report
Mr., Macfie read the minority report:
| Whereas, agricultural interests and
enterprises are Of the utmost Importance
TO the welfare OF the kingdom, and for
the successful prosecution of these enter
prises it is essential that there should be
an adequate supply of suitable lShorers,
and
Whereas. il is evident from informa-
ton received from various points of the
country that the available supply of la
borers is inadequate for present needs,
that in view Of the necessities of new
and additional enterprises about to be
established, more lahorers will be re
Quired in the future, and
Wheress, ii is for the interests of these
enterprises, and for the social welfare of
the country, that the labor supply should
be made up OF different nationalities,
and
Whereas, it would be desirable that
the permanent settled population of the
country should be increased so that the
kingdom may in future, be less depend
ent on foreign immigration,
Re il resolved that we urge upon the
Government that prompt and vigorous
steps be tSken 10 resume the immigra-
ton of different nationalities. giving
special encouragement 10 such immigra-
ton IS may best promote the growth of
healthy and desirable local popula.
ton. and
Whereas, it is imperative in view of the
urgency OF present needs of plantations
thSt for the successful prosecution of
the sugar industry, an immediate ad-
dItion2l supply of cheap labor should be
obtained.
Be 1t resolved that we further urge on
the Government TO admit such number
Of Chinese laborers as may be requisite
20 relieve the absolute necessities of
plantations.
