We are glad to be able to record that a

Commission has been appointed in South Africa by the Union Government to inquire into the recent strike of Indians in Natal, the use of force, and the allegations as to ill-treatment. The Commission is formed, the Times says, of men of high local reputation. This is a most satisfactory outcome of the negotiations of the Imperial Government with the South African Government in very delicate circumstances.
