WOMEN MIGRANTS.
Wanted In Dominions In AH Professions. BRIGHTER PROSPECTS. (Australian Press Assn.—United Service.) LONDON, October 10. In a broadcast speech Mr. Arthur Poiisonby, Parliamentary Under-Secre-tary for the Dominions, said the prospects of marriage for young women in the Dominions were much brighter than in Britain. Women were wanted overseas, not only as household assistants, but in all the professions. Letters received in England from girls who had migrated showed that as British girls they were welcomed in the Dominions. Australia had more men than women. Britain had 2,000,000 more women than men. Untrue reports to the effect that Britain was attempting to drive out men and women with a view to lessening unemployment in this country had created suspicion in the Dominion's. That had interfered with the natural flow of the population.
