BRITISH MIGRANTS
[TRAINING CAMP PROPOSED CONDITIONS IN DOMINIONS LONDON, March 8 A proposal that prospective migrants, before leaving Britain, should be thoroughly tested in conditions resembling those in the Dominions is advanced by Earl Winter ton, Conservative member of the House of Commons for Horsham, Sussex, in a letter to the Daily Telegraph. The earl points out that he has made fairljr frequent visits to two Dominions and states that only a small proportion of the population of Britain are suitable for ipigration to the Dominions. fh'e establishment of a training camp in some isolated part of Britain where men's wives and daughters would have to cook and bake bread, etc., is suggested by, Earl Winterton. The men, after starting with easy work, should eventually graduate to tasks as backbreaking 'as the pioneer has to perform in the Dominions.
