The movement has now taken definité shape, and an important deputation, consisting of repre sentatives and of members of Parliament representing seafaring constituencies, will meet at the Home Office under Com- mander Kenworthy, M.P., to impress upon the Government the necessity of more stringent re- gulations to prevent any more of this class of seamen from entering British ships. Mr. George Reed, the Bristol district accretary, will pre- sent the caso on behalf of the men of the National Union.

It is computed that at Cardiff last year, out of 3,614 firemen engaged. 57 per cent. were Arab, Somali and coloured men, whilst at Barry the engagement of Arab and Somali firemen was 47 per cent. of the total. Registration

Mr. George Reed. Interviewed at Cardiff said:---

"We intend to urge the Govern- ment to strictly enforce the Order in Council of 1926 with regard to the Board of Trade the necessity for applying the language test to this class of seamen before they are allowed to sign on British ships.

"The question of Indian and Lascar scamen deserting their own ship when serving on Lascar agree ments and then finding their way as firemen into the steamers sailing out of the port of Cardiff (where so-called cafes, in many cases, it is alleged, managed by persons who have been convicted) warrants the Home Secretary in giving wider powers to the police to prevent these places carrying on their nefarious trade.
