EMPIRE MIGRATION.

SOME IMPORTANT POINTS. I BY CABLE-PRESS ASSOCIATION-COPYRIGHT 1 Received Oct. 20, 9 a.m. i LONDON, Oct. 19. i Colonel Amery, speaking at the con- < ference on moral ideals, said that one . unfortunate consequence of undirected emigration was the excess of men going out over women. The excess male population and tne shortage of domestic help constituted one of the grave social problems in all parts of the Empire. It was important to encourage the emigration of women, which required mere thought and care than the emigration of men. Much might be done to encourage migration of the young by parties of Boy Scouts going out to learn farming under the care of a scoutmaster whom parents could trust, and acting as intermediary between the employers and the boys' families.—Aus.N.Z.
