ENGLAND'S UNEMPLOYED.

MIGRATION A SOLUTION.

NEED FOR CO-ORDINATION.

Referring to the unemployment existing in England, the Hon. A. M.- Myers said, in the course of a epeech. at the meeting of the Thames Old Boys' Association on Saturday evening, that it was painful to see so many robust men who had fought for their country, out of work. He was of the opinion that the problem had not been dealt with in so comprehensive a manner as it should ba«-a been, but it was perhaps rosier to criticise than to supply a remedy. He believed that every man should be employed, and to his mind* the true iolut :on was to endeavour to give every man employment according to his capacity to carry it out. '

Mr. Myers referred to the ouesticn of immigration, and said that tb«-r fe must be more co-ordination between the component parts of the Empire. He believed that there -was an accumulation of about 2.000.000 men, many of ' whom were ready to come out to the Dominions before the war. The various Dominions among them could take some hundreds of thousands of these men, and if the men of a desirable type could be trained to a certain extent in England and sent out they could be absorbed to the mutual advantage of the Dominions and of the United Kingdom.
