IN THE BACKBLOCKS. A CONTROVERSY. CONTRIBUTION BY MR. COGHLAN. By Telegraph.— Pre«» Association.— Copyright. (Received April 5, 8 a.m.) LONDON, 4th April. Mr. T. A. Coghlan (Agent -General for New South Wales), writing to The Times, saya : — "Sonic- Australian employeio iv tho back blocks are averse to married couples with children, not because tley are heartless or unfeeling, but because they prefer the childrento remain in the thickly-populated areas, where they are able to obtain doctors, nursing, and schooling. The controversy has arisen because certain emigration committees in England are sending unemployed mechanics and labourers with families. This is entirely contrary to the State Governments' policy. Th» States expect, a man to send for his family when ho has established himself."
