ROOM IN THE DOMINIONS.
LANDS OF OPPORTUNITIES.
Australian and N.Z. Press Association. (Received April 17, 6.5 p.m.) LONDON. April 17
Sir Robert Horne, M.P. for Hillhead, Glasgow, made his first speech since his return from Australia at Glasgow. He said: "We have an excess of people and a deficiency of opportunity heire. Tho Dominions have unlimited opportunities and scanty populations. Let our people go where there are opportunities. "Although there is occasionally unemployment in the Dominions this is only a fugitive condition." Sir Robert suggested that Britain's grant to aid emigration should be 100 per cent, instead of 50 per cent. The timo had come to dispense with the present financial restriction in order to carry out a programme of emigration, the success of which was vital to the welfare of Britain and to the development of the Dominions.
