THE CONFERENCE IN LONDON

"ENGLISHMEN TOO MUCH DRYNURSED."

[press association.] (Received May 31, 10.50 pan.) LONDON, May 31. At the Emigration Conference Lord Dundonald declared that the unemployment difficulty m Britain might best be solved by the great centres of population acquiring fertile estates in various Dominions and sending unemployed there in times of depression. He believed that suen investments would repay themselves. Mr W. F. Hamilton, of the Church Army, warned societies against sending men without their wives and children, there being ma-ny cases ot desertion. Miss Mary Gaunt, the authoress, declared that there were plenty of food, work, and money in Australia. The trouble with Englishmen going to Australia was that they were too much dry-nursed. ■ Sir Clement Kinloch-Cooke thought that some action ought to be taken in reference to the latest Canadian restriction. It was outrageous that a manjs wife and family were not allowed to join him unless working on the land. He sharply criticised the absence of the Agents-General from the conference.
