London, June 27.
In the House of Commons to-day, Mr. A. Lyttelton (C. St. George's Hanover Square), appealed for return to the old rule of filling Governorships in the Colonial Service.
He further called attention to the Bill introduced in the Union Parliament of South Africa by the Secretary to the Premier, regulating the holding of land by natives. Mr. Lyttelton described this as being tantamount to the introduction of forced labour, and, although he understood that the Bill bad been dropped, yet if it represented the settled policy of the Union Government he pressed Mr. Lewis Harcourt, Colonial Secretary to use diplomatic influence to impress upon the Union what ho believed to be.the unanimous opinion of that House, and also the consequence of which would be either @ native rising with which the British garrison would have to deal, a trek into the towns, or an exodus from the Union, thus increasing the shortage of la-hour.
