AUSTRALIAN CHOICE
MIGRATION OR LACK OF POPULATION
Rec. 9 a.m. CANBERRA, December 5,
Australia should go to great pains to attract migrants, said Mr. R. G. Menzies today. He contested the idea that there must be no immigration while any Australian lacks employment. This .point of view failed to appreciate that migrants were consumers as well as competitors.
Nothing was so calculated to maintain employment as an increasing local market for the products of Australian farms and factories. It was time Australians grasped the basic fact that without mass migration the Commonwealth would have no more than 8,000,000 people in 1980.
