EMPIRE MIGRATION.
SCHEME BROUGHT TO FRONT.
MR JORIAN JENKS’ SUGGESTION
(Press Association. —Copyright.) (Received 10-30 a.m.) < London, March 27. The return of Messrs Duckham and Hirst and the cabled reports of the meeting of the Development and Migration, have brought the question of assisted migration to the front. Mr Jorian Jenks, the well-known Oxford don, suggests on a large scale, asking companies for the establishing of groups of settlers, thereby effecting enormous savings in mass production ; the migrants, to work for the company until the land is ripe for subdivision, simultaneously building roads, schools and bridges. Commissioner, Lamb says the fealvation Army had already transferred 200,000 migrants to the Dominions. The failures are not one per cent. A migrating family cost £l2B. It is proposed. to’ transplant 1000 other families ;within four years for,, which appeals for £15,000 to supplement the oflßc-ial grants would be made. He warns Australia that it is unwise to always reckon her prosperity “on the sheep’s back.”
