CHINESE LABOUR

QUESTION OF THE GOVERNMENT'S GOOD FAITH

London, March 24.

Mr. Alfred Lyttelton raised the mmestion of Chinese labour during debate in the House of Commons.

He charged the Government with a deliberate breach of its pledges in sanctioning an extension of the conditions of indentured labour, which it had denounced for years. Mr. Winston Churchill replied thut there was no question on which Liberals were more completely vindicated.

The debate which was of an extremely lively character is believed to have been raised with a view to the polling in the Peckham by-election to-day..—Exclusive Service.
