London, October 10. At the annual conference of British Passenger Agents, Mr. Charles Wright, senior member and also the secretary, contributed papers proplqssying important results from Lord Lovats tour, which, the papers declared, was calculated to promote a complete understanding among the Dominions. Lord Lovat was remarkably well informed on migration, and animated with sympathy and good-will for-the Dominions, whose co-operation was desired in the mutual interests of Britaftn and the Empire. Lord Lovat had already made important recommendations affecting Canada. and it was anticipated would make equally important ones affecting Australia and New Zealand.

Mr. Wright gave it. as his opinion that there were opportunities for tens of thousands in the Dominions, but to ensure a development of resources and industries continuity of employment was necessary and the export of capitalists and industrialists contemporaneously with workers. It was obviously to the interests of the Dominions to offer opportunities to all three. It would be to Britain’s advantage to divert to migration a pairt of the £2,000,000 spent weekly on unemployment pay and charitable relief..
