The British League of Nations Union, following the practice of former years, of discussing matters which ultimately come up for consideration to the International Labour Conference, held a most interesting Conference in London in the beginning of March on the subjects of Forced Labour, Contract Labour and Systems Analogous to Slavery. A number of speakers spoke on the issue of forced labour which was synonymous with slavery. While there was necessity for compulsory labour in some cases, safeguards should be maintained against occurrence of abuses.
