CHRIST-SOCIN OF BASEL (WITH PORTRAIT) SLAVERY IN LUSHAI: MEMORANDUM FROM THE INDIA OFFICE 84 85 87 OBITUARY: BISHOP TUCKER (WITH PORTRAIT) Anti-Slavery Reporter and Aborigines' Friend. JULY, 1914. [The Editor, whilst grateful to all correspondents who may be kind enough to furnish him with information, desires to state that he is not responsible for the views stated by them, nor for questions which may be inserted from other journals. The object of the journal is to spread information, and articles are necessarily quoted which may contain views or statements for which their authors can alone be held responsible.] The Portuguese White Book. Quarterly Motes. THE Consular dispatches published in the recent White Book furnish a striking confirmation of the facts which have been put forward by the Society for years past as to the slave labour in Angola and the islands, and undoubtedly vindicate in a remarkable way its policy and action. They provide a complete answer to Portuguese and other apologists for the system, and it may be hoped that, as Mr. Nevinson has said, the publication of this book "marks almost the final stage in a long and bitter controversy." A lengthy memorandum has been addressed by the Society to Sir E. Grey. on the more important points which emerge from the dispatches, relating to repatriation, recontracting, etc. This has been published in pamphlet form, and we commend it to the attention of our readers. The Committee. REFERENCE is made in other parts of this issue to the regret felt at the resignation of the Chairmanship of this Putumayo Sub-Committee by Mr. Charles Roberts, M.P., which became necessary on his accepting office as Under-Secretary of State for India. We are glad to be able to announce that at the last meeting of the Sub-Committee, the name of Lord Lytton was proposed as Chairman, and that he has accepted the post. Africans in THE Joint Committee which was formed to consider a scheme for starting a club in London for African students and others held several meetings but has been unable to make much progress owing to several untoward circumstances. The gentleman who was appointed last year to act as secretary, pro tem. was taken ill, and early in this year his illness, we regret to say, ended fatally. The Colonial Office wrote in May that the West African Governors generally are opposed to a Government grant towards establishing a non-residential club. The Joint Committee is again communicating with the Colonial Office on the matter. |
