EUROPEAN MIGRATION.
ITALIANS IN AUSTRALIA. COLONISING SCHEME BEGUN. Australian and N.Z. Press Association. PARIS, May 21. M. Henri Dekobra, the French publicist, in an article on British migration in the newspaper Le Matin says that at present only three countries are able to supply white migrants, Germany, Poland, and Italy. Germany is now holding back, but Italy has begun a systematic scheme of colonisation. Methodically and systematically Italians are going to Australia. The Australian authorities ate not encouraging them, but they manage without it. Owing to their own excellent local organisation each newcomer finds the credits necessary to establish him, as a sort of loan of honour, which the migrant engages to return by making a loan to those following him. It is easy to imagine, he says, that after years of this kind of penetration Australia and Canada will not retain their traditional aspect as British Dominions. Their spirit will be changed and their political tendencies modified.
