LORD LOVAT’S TOUR
MIGRATION PROBLEMS IMPORTANT RESULTS EXPECTED OPPORTUNITIES IN DOMINIONS (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) London, October 10. At the annual conference of British passenger agents, Mr Charles Wright, the senior member and also the secretary, contributed papers prophesying important results from Lord Lovat’s tour, which was calculated to promote complete understanding with the dominions. Lord Lovat was remarkably well informed on migration and animated the sympathy and goodwill of the dominions, whose co-operation was desired for mutual interests. Lord Lovat had already made important recommendations affecting Canada, and it was anticipated that he would make equally important ones affecting Australia and New Zealand. Mr Wright expressed the opinion that there were opportunities for tens of thousands in the dominions, but to ensure the development of their resources and industries, and also a continuity of employment, it was necessary to export capitalists and industrialists contemporaneously with workers. It was obviously to the interests of the dominions to offer opportunities to all three, and it would be to Britain’s advantage to divert to migrations part of the £2,000,000 spent weekly on unemployment payments and on charitable relief.— Australian Press Association.
