EMPIRE BUILDING.
OVERSEAS SETTLEMENT
Received September 11, 12.55 p.m LONDON, Sept. 10,
Speaking at the Salvation Army Citadel at Leicester, Commissioner Lamb asked what the scientists were doing with the resources of the Empire in view of the rich tracts awaiting development, vacancy of which menaced the Empire’s stability and tempted other over-crowded nations. Could the British Association say how we could build the Empire when there were 40,000 more men than women in Queensland, which had room for 100,000, while Britain was maintaining millions of idle able-bodied men at Home P Had wisdom any place in the British Association ? asked the Commissioner.
