HIGH LIVING STANDARD
AUSTRALIA DETERMINED TO MAINTAIN IT (Sydney “Sun” Cable.! LONDON, Juno 24. Speaking at the World Migration Congress, Mr Kitson (Australia) said that Australia did not object to European migrants so long as they could bo absorbed without detriment to the workers already there. The Australian standard of living was equal to anything in the world, and they were determined to maintain it. Mr Wilson (New Zealand) suggested that tho proposed migration, office should be merged in the International Labour Office at Geneva, and have branches in every country containing adequate trades union representation. New Zealand’s objections to wholesale migration were based solely on social and racial grounds, and applied equally to Europeans and people of the Eastern races.
