INDIA ID TREAT
COOLIE LABOR
FAIR
DELHI, India. May 1. — The gov
: ernment's announcement that it in
; tends to abolish the system of Indian
indentured labor, made through the
viceroy a few days ago, has been re
ceived with great satisfaction through
out India. The announcement applies
to the large shipments of coolie labor
which are annually sent to Jamaica.
Trinidad, British Guiana, Fiji and
Dutch Guiana.
Indian feeling on the subject lias
for many years condemned the iuden
; ture system. No arguments as to its
] possible economic advantages weighed
1 against the feeling of educated In
dlana that it degraded India in the
eyes of the world. Recent reports
showing the social degeneration
caused by the paucity of women emi
grating Yind also tlie number of sui
cide^ among the coolies have caused
a painful impression.
• Students of Indian conditions have
long maintained that, there is abun
dant scope in India for all available
labor, and emigration is no longer one
of India's necessities.
How soon the government’s promise
of abolition will be put into effect is
I
yet a matter of doubt. The viceroy
stated that the existing system of re
cruiting must be maintained until the
new conditions could be* worked out
and reasonable time had been given
the communities which depend on this
labor to adjust themselves to the
j change.
“No one who knows anything of In
dian sentiment can remain ignorant
of the deep and genuine feeling to
which the continuance of the inden
lure system has given rise," said tho
viceroy in his announcement. “Edu
cated Indians look on it as slavery or
serfdom. This will soon be removed
forever, and it is a source of deep sat
isfnction to me that one of the last
official acts l shall have to perform
in this country is to tell you that I
have been able to do something to
ensure that Indians who desire to work
as laborers in tropical countries may
do so tinder happier conditions, and
to obtain from His Majesty's govern
ment a promise that in due course the
whole system which educated opinion
in India has long regarded as intol
erable. will be abolished.
The indenture system dates from
1842. Natives of India are only per
mitted to emigrate under contract to
such countries as satisfy the govern
ment of India that sufficient provision
■ is made for their protection. The
coolies are recruited by licensed
agents throughout Bengal, the United
provinces, the Central provinces, the
Southern Punjab and Ajmir. The sup
ply varies greatly, depending in larg*
degree on agricultural conditions In
India, but It Is estimated that 10.000
per year Is an average figure. Of
these only about 5.000 return to India
at the end of the contract period, the
rest settling In the countries to which
they are sent. Thus there were In
Natal In 1910 over 60,000 "free” In
dians, while In Mauritius 70 per cent
i of the total population is Indian born
I or of Indian descent.
