EMPIRE DEVELOPMENT
CONFERENCE RESOLUTIONS. DEPUTATION TO PREMIER. IMMIGRATION SCHEME. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (British Official Wireless.) Received November- 24, 9.27 a.m. RUGBY, Nov. 23. The resolutions passed at the conference on Empire development last month are being formally' laid before the Prime Minister to-day by an influential deputation headed by Lord Horne.
One of these resolutions urges upon the Government the need to establish forthwith a statutory authority, immune from changes of Government, with definite financial powers, and charged with the whole-time duty, in co-operation with similar bodies in the Dominions, to initiate and consider aid in carrying into effect schemes for the encouragement of all forms of useful Empire activities of immigration and development upon adequatelyfinanced and properly-supervised bases. The second resolution expresses the view that the' time has arrived for an early resumption of Empire migration and urges the Government to invite representatives of the Dominion Governments to consider the possibility of making early preparations for settle-, ment and to indicate to the United Kingdom their Governments’ readiness to give credit facilities for the approved schemes.
