HINDU DELEGATION TO SEE PREMIER
------------------Will Ask to Be Allowed to Bring Wives and
Families to Canada.
-------------------

Ottawa, Nov, 25.—A deputation of British Columbia Hindus, consisting
of Dr. Sunda Singh. Prof. Tega Singh and Prazarah(?) Singh, accompanied by
Mr. L. W. Hall of Vancouver, arrived in Ottawa this morning to ask the
government to relax the immigration regulations so that in future(Sic) Hindus
may be able to bring their wives and families to Canada. They also asked that
the law which makes it imperative for Hindus to come direct from India be
changed, because there is no direct steamship service between India and the
Dominion.
The Hindus, who will wait upon the Premier on Monday, it is
understood, will also make complaint that they are not, as citizens of the
Empire, receiving fair treatment in Canada.
