Tavernor, .Victorian AgentGcneral, in aji interview regarding a statement by the "Daily Chronicle's" Melbourne correspondent that public opinion in Australia was alarmed by tlte Church Army's indiscriminate advertising for funds to send boys to Australia, said: "I have- found that the action of outsiuV bodies, however well-intended, ie frequently based on misconception of colonial conditions, and tends to defeat tho emigration policies formed by the various States upon lessons of experience. Widespread advertising by philanthropic bodies unsettles many boys in good situations in England. ■ .

I am sending a batch oi carefully-selected boys to positions allotted with practical farmers."
