EMPIRE SETTLEMENT ACT
Extension of Term Planned London, December 6. A White Paper explains that the proposed amendment of the Empire Settlement Act extends it for 15 years, and provides for an annual expenditure not to exceed £1,500,000 instead of the previous maximum of £3,000,000, though it actually never exceeded £1,280,000. The average from 1923 to 1929 was only £BOO,OOO. The average estimated cost to the United Kingdom, under agreed schemes of all kinds other than development or land settlement schemes, was approximately 11/- per assisted migrant.
