EMPIRE MIGRATION.
FIGURES FOR LAST YEAR, BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT LONDON, Feb. 22. In the House of Commons a series of questions relating to migration elicited the fact -that during 1925 there were 38,666 migrants from Britain' to Canada, 35.006 to Australia, 11,730 to New Zealand, and 7004 to South Africa. Other statistics, based on the balance of Britishers outwards and inwards for the years 1911 and 1924 respectively, with their destinations, were: Canada, 134,765 and 46,469; Australia, 56,337 and 28,156; and New Zealand, 9432 and 8836.
Reporting on the ex-servicemen’s land settlement scheme, the Committee on National Expenditure estimates the Government’s loss at March 31 at £3,500,000, added to which will be the loss on revaluation in 1926, probably amounting to between 40 and 50 per cent, making £6,000,000, or a total of £9.500.000, representing an average of £550 per tenant.—Aus.-N.Z.
