§ MR. FELLI beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if it is the intention of the Transvaal Government to repatriate the remaining 29,000 Chinese working in the mines and to replace them by natives; and from what country in Central or South Africa will these natives be drawn.
§ MR. CHURCHILLIt is the declared intention of the Transvaal Government to repatriate the Chinese, and the necessary labour in substitution will, no doubt, be drawn from all those places in which the Transvaal have liberty to recruit; unless, as is hoped, it may be found possible to make a greater use of white labour with improved machinery.
