Act was a good measure, from which much benefit might hay» come. Unfortunately it had failed to stop strikes, but this was not the fault «f the- Act itself. If they had the right men at hand when, a difficult situation arose there would have been no trouble. H* believed in Mr. Millar, but did not think he was permitted, by tho Cabinet to do what he wanted. He believed the country could sta-nd a continuous small stream of immigration, but possession of a certain amount of money should not be the only test of suitability.
