EMPIRE MIGRATION

DEPUTATION TO MR THOMAS LONDON, October 24. The Lord Mayor of Newcastle h-d a deputation to Mr Thomas urging the need for substantial migration. To safeguard such migration, he said, future schemes must be adequately financed and the interests of the migrants protected. A co-ordinating committee should be appointed, with the Under-secretary for the Dominions as chairman Mr Thomas replied that it was not right to ask people to migrate unless they were welcome in the dominions If a proper scheme of co-operation with the dominions was worked out the Government would give it every assistance. LORD BLEDISLOE’S VIEWS LONDON, October 24. i (Received Oct. 25, at 9 p.m.) Lord Bledisloe, addressing the Royal Empire Society at Bristol, said he did not see a future for New Zealand unless, without undue delay, the Dominion welcomed sound British human and animal stock, as well as British capital, industrial enterprise and brains. He did not know a greater economic fallacy than that normal unemployment was intensified by organised migration.
