FINGER-PRINTS OF CHINESE

IN AUSTRALIA.

NO INTENTION TO SUBJECT CHINESE TO INDIGNITY,

(THROUGE REUTER'S ÄOENCY.]

CANBERRA, Sept. 2

Mr. Scullin has replied to a Note from the Chinese Consul-General dated May 1 urging the discan- tinuance of taking anger-prints of unprohibited Chinese, appealing for a limitation of the right of search for prohibited immigrants, and ob- jerting to the ban on the entry of wirer.

Mr. Setillin regrets that he is un- able to comply with the requests beyond considering the temporary

admission of wives

Mr. Scullin points out that the right of search is restricted to cases where substantial grounds exist for the belief that prohibited im migrants are discoverable on any ship entering an Australian port. The right also applies to other nationalities.

Mr. Scullin points out that the taking of finger-prints is not con fined to Chinese. It did not apply to Chinese of superior standing who are domiciled residents or are pas Bengers en route to other countries. Mr. Scullin explains that the questions are intimately connected with Australia's immigration policy, and there is no intention to subject Chinese tp any indignity.
