THE BRITISH FARMER.
HOSTILE TO MIGRATION. AGAINST HIS INTERESTS. RESENTS CANADIAN ACTIVITY. CBy Otble.—Press Association.—<>>pjrisatl tßeceived 12 noon.) LONDON, February 19. JThe Council of the National Farmers* Union has carried a resolution protesting to the Ministry of Agriculture that State-aided emigration does not help unemployment, since the emigrant is mainly drawn from, the classes which.-- are not liable to unemployment, and also demanding immediate- reconsideration of the .settlement policy in order to prevent the taxpayers' money from being used to the detriment of Home agricultural interests. The resolution was inspired by a communication from Warwickshire, deprecating Canadian emigration officials canvassing agricultural workers to profit by the recently-reduced passage rates to Canada.—(Reuter.) . *
