BRITISH MIGRANTS

POSSIBILITIES IN AUSTRALIA. ADDRESS BY MR BRUCE. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) SYDNEY, July 27. Mr Bruce gave an address at the Chambers of Commerce dinner. He declared that Britain should co-operate in the development of the dominions. While the influx of migrants to Australia should be limited to the absorption powers of the Commonwealth, M” 3nice said he hoped that Australia’s small population would receive assistance in carrying her growing interest" burden. Britfin was spending upwards of £50,000,000 ipon doles. Surely, then, it would be worth while spending small sums in interest towards the provision of useful aveuues of empLyment for men whose morale under the present system vas being undermined. Indeed, only a fraction the £15,000,000 earmarked by the British Government fivi years ago for overseas settlement had been spent, which showed that the problem had never really been tackled, and disclosed a lack of understanding by the British Ministers and commercial men regarding the great possibilities and potentialities of Australia and the other dominions.—Australian Press Association.
