INDIA TO TREAT COOL|E LABOR
 FAIR

DELHI, India, May 1. The gov ernment's announcement that it in tends to abolish the system of Indian indentured labor, made through the viceroy few days ago, has been re- ceived with great satisfaction through out India. The announcement applies to the large shipments of coolie labor which are annually sent to Jamaica, Trinidad, British Guiana, Fiji and Dutch Guiana.
 Indian feeling on the subject has for many years condemned the inden- ture system. No arguments as to it's possible economic advantages weighed against the feeling of educated In dians that it degraded India in the eyes of the world. Recent reports showing the social degeneration caused by the paucity of women emi- grating and also the number of sui cides among the coolies have caused a painful impression.
 Students of Indian conditions have long maintained that there is abun- dant scope in India for all available labor, and emigration is no longer one of India's necessities.
 How soon the governments promise of abolition will be put into effect is yet a matter of doubt The yiceroy stated that the existing system of re cruiting must be maintained until the new conditions could be. worked out and reasonable time had been given the communities which depend on this labor to adjust themselves to the change.
 No one who knows anything of In- dian sentiment can remain ignorant of the deep and genuine feeling to which the continuance of the inden- ture system has given rise" said the viceroy in his announcement. "Edu cated Indians look on it as slavery or serfdom. This will soon be removed forever and it is a source of deep sat isfaction to me that one of the last official acts I shall have to perform in this country is to tell you that I have been able to do something to ensure that Indians who desire to work as laborers in tropical countries may do so under happier conditions, and to obtain from His Majesty's govern ment a promise that in due course the whole system which educated opinion in India has long regarded as intol- erable, will be abolished.
 The indenture system dates from 1S42. Natives of India are only per mitted to emigrate under contract to such countries as satisfy the govern ment of India that sufficient provision is made for their protection. The coolies are recruited by licensed agents throughout Bengal, the United provinces. the Central provinces. the Southern Punjab and Ajmir. The sup ply varies greatly. depending in large
