OVERSEAS SETTLEMENT
POLICY EXPLAINED. MIGRATION DISTINCT FROM UNEMPLOYMENT. Prana Association —By Telegraph—Copyrirfct LONDON, March 28. Colonel C. M. Macnaghten, vice-chair-man of the Overseas Settlement Committee, addressing the League of Nations Union’s conference on unemployment, declared that the committee’s policy was totreat migration as entirely distinct Irom unemployment. If there was no unemployment, the committee’s policy, which was to organise the redistribution of the white population throughout the Empire for the benefit of migrants and the development of the Empire’s resources, could stfll be justified. He maintained that every dominion was entitled to refuse immigrants who were not capable of proving useful, and he doubted if the dominions could absorb more than the present number going forward unless they had an influx of new capital.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
