NOT REJECTED
IMMIGRATION SCHEME. CANADIAN MINISTER’S DENIAL.. (Rec. 7.25 p.m.) Ottawa, November 19. The Minister for Immigration, Mr R. Forke, denied the published reports that the Canadian Government had rejected Lord Lovat’s immigration scheme, and declared that such a statement was unwarranted. “Lord Lovat’s proposals have not been fully considered by the Dominion Government, and no decision of any kind has been reached,” Mr Forke said. The extension of free passages to boys and girls up to 19 years of age belonging to agricultural families in Britain, who are coming to Canada for farm work, has been announced by the Immigration Department. For the past three years free passage has been given in such cases between the ages of 14 and 17.—Australian Press AssociationUnited Service.
