MIGRATION PROBLEMS.
A NEW ANGLE
LONDON. Aug. 20. Commenting on the proposed recommencement of migration, the Spectator asks whether Britain can afford to part with people of the type that Australia wants, and suggests a 6 an alternative that Germans, might be acceptable. “The whole migration problem lias been viewed in a new light to-day,” the article declares. “With the population static, and threatening to decline, we have t no such motive to promote emigration as when the problem was congestion. * “That section of the population we should part with least readily is juvenile, which proportionately is all too scanty as it is. We may yet ha.ve colonisation .of England and Scotland to think of. “New South Wales’s plan is on a modest scale. Its modesty is its chief attraction. There might be room for a number of German emigres who would make admirable stock.”
