LONDON, 13th September,
The "Daily Express," in an editorial, deplores the growth of unemployment- "It would be worth five hundred millions to Britain," it says, '.'to convert qno and a half million unproductive British people into productive Australians, New Zealanders, and Canadians. Why can't it be done?' We have all hoard phrases such as 'We fought for England, and we will.stay here.' Wo sympathise with a man who loves his country; but we afo not sympathetic with the, man who prefers the dole when ho knows that manhood and independence lie in Australia and New Zealand..-.. It is admitted that there are hardships there, but they are glorious hardships; If the Government, in conjunction with the' Dominions, did its part, the spirit of Englishmen would prove the, same as of old. The untilled.fields of Australia, New Zealand, and.Canada, and the tragic thousands in our streets plead alike for a strong leader." '
