GERMAN COLONISTS.
MR SOMERVILLE 1 .‘.PLAINS
LONDON, Jan. 24
Mr D. G. Somerville has sent to the press an explanation that he only advocated the admission of German immigrants to Australia as part of an argument that more whites must be settled. Ho admitted the anxiety and danger of a coloured invasion. It would also act as a safety-valve for the congested population of Central Europe, which is aggravated by tbo fact that Germany did not now possess colonies.—A. and N.Z. cable.
Germans as colonists in Australia were advocated by several speakers at the Ladies’ Imperial Club during a discussion in which Mr D. G. Somerville, ex-M.P., who was recently in Australia, described them as well-or« dered citizens.
