PAST INDIAN LABOR EFFORTS,

Again touching on tho subject oil
Indian labor for our cane fields. We
made a slight error the other day in
an editorial article under the cap
tlon Of Reminiscent OF Indian La
bor," particularly with the part in
reference TO the steps taken by Col
Isukss With regard to it, while on
rlission to Europe 10 1928. Upon
interviewing him, he impaired the
iliormstion that the Indian labor
proposition was agreeable to both
the British Imperial aud Indian gov
ernmsnts,and was not irowned down
upon as we had intimated and every
hing hinged upon the assurance to
bs given by the then British Min"
istsr here, the late Major James Hay
Wodehouse, who never gave it.
