AUSTRALIAN IMMIGRATION.
A NOTE OF WARNING. United Press Association—By Electrio Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, May 25. Sir J. W. Taverner, Agent-General for Victoria, said, in the course of an interview, that he was alarmed at the Church Army's indiscriminate advertising for funds to send boys to Australia. Ho had found that the action of outside bodies, however well intended, was frequently based on a misconception of colonial conditions, and tended to defeat the immigration policies formed by various States upon lessons of experience. Widespread advertising by philanthropic bodies had unsettled many boys in geod -situations in England. The Agents-General and Government emigration offices were already snapping up, through their own channels, the quota of immigrants actually requirt-d by the various colonies. Ho was sending a batch of carefillly-se-lected boys to allotted positions with practical farmers.
