QUEENSLAND PROPAGANDA. EXHIBITS OF PRODUCE IN BRITAIN AND IRELAND. (Received March 23, 8 a.m.) LONDON, 22nd March. In connection with the Queensland immigration propaganda, arrangements hays been made to exhibit produce at thirty of the- principal agricultural shows in England, Scotland, and Ireland. Mr. Moore was banquetted in London on the 16th instant. In the course of a speech on the occasion, he said perhaps the most important duty of the Western Australian Government wac 'to arrange for immigration. In that direction he hoped to be able to co-operate. Sir George Reid, Australian High Commissioner, said Western Australia desired to encourage tne;lishmen and Europeans prepared to go on the soil and_ to assist in developing a great territory. Western Australia wanted capital and population, and, added Sir George, "she must look to the Old Country for these." In proposing the health of the chairman, Sir George Reid said he must emphasise Australia's need of immigrants, which would be a far better investment for Great Britain than money.
