The first Dominion conference of the Five Million Club was held to-day. Hon. W. E. Barnard, Speaker of the House of Representatives presiding. Representatives from 14 branches present were welcomed to the city by .Mayor Hislop, who' congratulated Mr. Barnard on the steps he had taken in the Movement and the energy he had displayed, and the way he had gone round the cities to stir up people to the necessities facing them. The organisation was not a mere immigration society, said Mr. Barnard. The object proposed all through had been to increase the population, first by natural increase, second by immigration. They felt a solution of general economic problems of the country, and the maintenance of everything that could be covered in the word “heritage,” was dependent not only on the expansion of possibilities of the Dominion, but in the expansion at a faster rate than had been experienced for many years.
