MIGRATION QUESTION
appeal to commonwealth. CHEAPNESS OF TRAVEL. COMPANY DIRECTOR’S REMARKS (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) Received December 16, 11.35 a.m. LONDON, Dec. 10. • Addressing the annual meeting of the 'Orient Company, Sir Alan Anderson said that when the world returns to sanity and buys Australian butter, iruit, and meat instead of guns the demand for settlers will revive. He honed the Commonwealth would realise how cheaply migrants were carried. The Orient Company’s revenue from passengers was only twothirds of that in 1928. They had hoped for a record for the Coronation traffic but, at the last moment, had lost those who would represent a margin of profit. Apparently they were deterred by reports of overcrowding in London and war scares in the Mediterranean.
