CAMP TRAINING
PROSPECTIVE MIGRANTS
LORD WINTERTON'S PROPOSAL
BOTH MEN & WOMEN
United Tress Association—By Electric Tclcgrapli—Copyright. (Received March 9, 10.45 a.m.) LONDON, March 8. A proposal that prospective migrants, before leaving England, should be thoroughly tested in conditions resembling those in the Dominions is advanced by the Earl of Winterton in the "Daily Telegraph." He points out . that he has made fairly frequent visits to two of the Dominions, and he declares that only a small proportion. of the population of the United Kingdom is suitable for migration to the Dominions. He suggests the establishment of a training camp in some isolated part of Britain where the men's wives and daughters would have to cook, bake bread, etc., and the men, starting with easy work, would eventually graduate to tasks as back-breaking as a pioneer has to perform in the Dominions. *
