WORLD LABOUR CONFERENCE,
BY CABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION-COPYRIGHT.
LONDON, June 25,
At the World Migration Congress the codifying committee, in view, of British colonial opposition to European proposals, comprised by formulating a declaration admitting that the inrush of migrants into immigrating countries suclx as Australia, Neiv Zealand, Canada and South Africa might, in certain cases, endanger the workers by depressing wages and lowering conditions, but nevertheless affirming that it was the duty of all Governments to solve migration problems.in a manner conducive to international peace and goodwill and. the protection of the interests of immigrants. The resolutions advocated the prohibition of private migration agencies and transport enterprises, and the substitution of State agencies on which the trade unions would be represented. When the report was submitted to tho congress to-day the Continentals attempted to reintroduce freedom of migration between all countries. Mr Evatt (Australia), acting on behalf of the Dominions, successfully opposed this, and the Congress finally adopted the committee’s report on bloc, including the modified resolution.
