EMIGRATION PROBLEMS
LONDON, November 21. (Received November 22, at 1.30 p.m.) Air A. 11. Ashbolt, Agent-General for Tasmania, addressed a, meeting of tho British Women’s Patriotic League on women's political industrial activities in Australia. He stressed tho difficulties of getting domestic help in rural districts. He urged their womenfolk to accompany tho emigrants to Australia. He said the Governments must make rural conditions more attractive by finding partly-improved land, for which payment at the lowest rate of interest would 1 bo extended over a period of from twenty to thirty years. During tho first couple of years the cost should not bo charged against the individual, but should bo divisible between the Australian and the British Governments. It was better, in tho interests of the Empire, that men should be paid for work in Australia than that they should collect doles and unemployment benefits in England for no work.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
