The only thing that we can do is to be

prepared for trouble and I have taken the necessary prelimi- nary steps by appointing a strong Committee to provide an

organisation for dealing with a general strike which can be

put into operation at a moment's notice - since we must

assume that next time a general strike will be declared without warning.

Among the papers attached to Mr. Fletcher's

report will be found the emergency regulations issued on February 20th. These are self-explanatory and to rast of

them I think no possible exception can be taken. One et

which has, I see, attracted attention in the house of

Corsions is that which authorises the cœmandeering of labour

for public purposes. The object of this regulation was to

secure the carrying on of essential services, e.¿. sanita-

tion, lighting, Sc. and the unloading if necessary of food

supplies from ships. This regulation was never put into

operation as the essential services were provided for by

voluntary workers with the valuable assistance of the

military and naval forces, and the strike ended before it

was absolutely necessary to unload the cargpes of rice

which were begimming to deteriorate on board ship. As a

matter of fact, however, it would never have been necessary

to apply expulsion except nominally. There were plenty of Chinese willing to work but afraid to do so owing to the

intimidation to which they were subjected.

If they could have been placed in the position

of being able to say that they did not want to work but were compelled to do so they would have worked not only without complaint but with eagerness. These facts vore fully appreciated by the Ixecutive Council when the roguls-

tion was framed.
