IMMIGRATION URGED
DOMESTIC HELP SCHEME OVERCROWDING IN ENGLAND "Emigration is rather a burning question in England, where there is at present an overcrowding of population," said Mr. Bernard E. H. Tripp, a South Canterbury sheepowner, who returned from England by the Rangitata yesterday. Mr. Tripp said attention was being directed in England to New Zealand and Australia, where greater populations could be supported. He was inclined to think that secondary industry could be encouraged a great deal and made capable of absorbing large numbers of people. One objection retired army and navy officers and civil servants had to settling in New Zealand was the difficulty of getting domestic help. If that were overcome many retired men would settle here with their families. Some years ago a scheme was instituted to bring out domestics from England, but it was dropped when the depression came. He would like to see the scheme revived. He understood there were about 27,000 more men than women in the Dominion, so that a domestic help immigration scheme would, assist in more ways than one.
