AUSTRALIAN MAN-HUNTERS.
THE IMMIGRATION CAMPAIGN.
(Received 8.45 a,m.) LONDON, June 13. Mr. Herbert Eastern (New South Wales Immigration Officer) was entertained at luncheon at the Royal Hotel. He gave an address on immigration, and thanked Mr. John Burns (President of the Local Government Board) for sending hundreds of young men and women to Australia under the Unemployed Workmen's Act. He advocated extending the emigration clauses to the whole of the United Kingdom. His mission was not to deplete Britain of her rural population, but to relieve her of young, casual city workers. It would be a two-fold gain if Australia could turn them to good effect. Mr. Earp, of New South Wales, Admiral Fremantle, and Captain Collins also spoke. Lord Kitchener wrote regarding his absence, and eulogising the work of the British Immigration League.
