The proprietors of the Morning Post have formed a. Migration Committee to work in co-operation with the Australian Government in assisting 200 British miners to be absorbed as agriculturists in. the Commonwealth. The plan is to demonstrate in this way what can be done with Britain's surplus labour. The editor of the Post, Mr. H. A. Gwynne, will act as chairman, and Sir Owen Seaman, editor of Punch, and Captain L. Haden Guest, Labour M.P. for North Southwark, will be on the committee. A special representative of the Post will accompany the miners to Australia to describe their reception and the possibility'of extending migration. The Daily News says the council of the Independent Labour Party has issued a manifesto calling for a general election on tiie coalmining issue. The manifesto asserts that the Government is not equal to dealing with the crisis and is devoid of any , policy except that of starving the miners into submission.
