EUROPEAN MIGRANTS.
BID FOR PASSENGER TRADE. ITALY HAMPERS BRITISH LINE. SuD - LONDON. Dec. 19. A scheme calculated to drive AngloAustralian shipping from Italian ports, with the eventual purpose of flooding Australia and Nw Zealand with the surplus population of Europe, carried in Italian ships, was revealed at a meeting of the
Orient Steam Navigation Company by the chairman, Sir Kenneth Anderson.
As a crowning impertinence to a long series of costly and irritating restrictions relative to the embarkation of emigrants at Naples, he said that Italy now insists that an Italian medical man must be carvied as senior medical officer if the Orient Company is to continue to embark Italian emigrants. This supplements the earlier demand that the Orient Company must make an Italian port their port of departure, irrespective of the nationality of the emigrants carried, thus preventing British emigrants boarding ships, except at Naples.
