EMPIRE SETTLEMENT
—— MR. DICKSON’S COMMENTS (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Dec. 2. Mr. J. S. Dickson, M.P. who was one of New Zealand’s representatives on the Imperial Parliamentary delegation, and who has just returned from Australia, says that the Westralian system of opening up and settling land on the group system is proving most satisfactory. That it is so is due to the generous terms offered by the Government. Mr. Dickson says that he was a bit disappointed by the attitude of the British section of the delegation, 'fheir principal object, he says, seemed , to be to have secondary industries in Australia done away with, thus ala lowing Britain to manufacture Aus- ~ tralia’s requirements, while that Country concentrated on supplying Britain with raw material. This idea did not meet with much encouragement in Australia.
