I He intended to retire to a countrj
farm and would not re-enter politics. Turning to the subject of migration, he said that the possibilities for settlers in Australia were enormous, but they 'must be of the right type. Urban dwellers, unaccustomed to roughing it, should not go, but virile men with an experience of farming and of agriculture generally were most wanted.
