INFLUX TO BRITAIN.
[BY CABLE —PBESB ASSN. —COPYBIGHT.]
LONDON, July 7.
In the House of Commons, Mr. J. H. Thomas, in reply to Mr. Hannon (Conservative) said that for the three years ended December, 238,025 persons had migrated from Britain to Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, of whom 148,815 were assisted migrants. During the same period 98,242 persons had entered the United Kingdom from the Dominions. It was impossible to say how many of these were returning migrants. Mr. Hannon: Would not reciprocal trade help the migration schemes? Mr. Thomas: For the first time, the balance of migration has turned this way. This is owing to the Dominions’ economic position.
He added that he could not judge the future of migration from the present abnormal situation.
