The discussion of the labor problem
in South Africa has brought out sig.

seems to have a steadily increasing
popularity for labor recruiting. Re.

ton favorable to Chinese immigration

accomplished in the face of strong ~.
cal opposition, but. apparently the op.
position has been overcome by sit.

none.
