EMIGRATION TO RUSSIA
AN AUSTRALIAN SCHEME.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRBSFONDINT.)
, SYDNEY, 21st April. . It is doubtful if the latest scheme of the Trades and Labour Council will evoke a very hearty response from' its admirers. By way of killing two birds with one stone—helping Russia and .relieving unemployment—it is proposed to send some skilled artisans from here, and with this end in. view the Soviet representative here was interviewed. He confessed that Russia was '-'no paradise," but added that all classes of skilled workers were wanted. An endeavour is being made "to arrange for a party to go at an early date. Professor Goode, of Manchester University, who went to Russia as a special representative of the Manchester Guardian has • delivered a number of lectures on Bolshevism .recently, and, has had a great deal to say in laudation of its ideals, but many of his critics in the press* pointed out that what little he had said of the actual conditions that he observed has not shown them to be such as any sane person would wish to reproduce in Australia.
