HONGKONG CHILD SLAVERY,”

COMMONS CAMPAIGN CONTINUED.

RESPONSIBLE COMMISSION SOUGHT.

LONDON, February 15, Several members were zealously campaigning at question-time in the House of Commons yesterday and to day regarding the sale of children in Hongkong.

Mr. Winston Churchill, Secretary for Colonies. said that when oppor tunity offered be would be very glad to ascertain the general sense of the House on the matter but he was anxious they should know what the case was for and not go violently overturning a custom which was universal 1le thought it sounded most objectionaele in principle but he ནོཪརྡོuta, Behrved in practice it was not.

Meanwhile a conference nuder the auspices of the anti-Slavery Society at which a score of societies were represented, presided over by Viscountess Gladstone, passed a resolution declaring the mui tai systems subject to abuses in ilongkong and urging the Colonial Office to appoint a responsible commis sion of men and women to visit Hongkong and confer with Chinese and Europeans and devise a practical scheme for presenting the buying and seiling and enslavement of human beings and other abuses arising therefrom. Soakers. including former Under-Secretary for India, Mr. Charles Roberts and commander Hazelwood, strongly protested against continuance of the system under the British Bag as a disgrace and a scandal.

Other speakers while demanding redress of abuses pointed out that the system of adoption was an inherent part of the religion of China. One speaker declared that she had more admiration for educated Chinese wormen than sny she had met in any other part of the world and believed they would be the strongest factor in abolishing the evil.
