EMPIRE MIGRANTS
THE HOMELAND VIEWPOINT (Reuter.) LONDON, July 28. The “Morning Post” and “Daily Telegraph” comment on the statement made in the House of Commons on Monday that 50,000 selected persons are waiting to emigrate. Both papers emphasise the importance of providing markets for settlers’ products. The “Meaning Post” says: “The Dominions do not yet thoroughly understand how essentially it is in their interest to increase their populations with British stock.” The “Daily Telegraph” remarks:— “There has not been the same readiness to receive as . to. send migrants.” It suggests, among the reasons (1) that the Dominions themselves have undergone severe economic stress; (2) a restrictive policy on the part of the trade unions; and, (3), that the system of nominating persona must operate as a check. A GOVERNMENT OFFER. VANCOUVER, July 28. “Any practical scheme proposed by the Dominions for securing British colonists would be supported by the British Government to the extent of half the expense,” so Lord Burnham asserted in the course of a speech at the Canadian Club, although he disclaimed authority to speak for the Government.
