BRITISH MIGRATION
CONFERENCE TO BE HELD. DOMINIONS’ REPORTS. (United Press Assn—Telegraph Copyright.) London, January 21. Mr Malcolm MacDonald is returning by the Rangitane to-morrow, shortly after which a conference will be held at the Dominions Office in connection with migration and the Dominions’ affairs. Chief interest centres in migration following the Hon. Neville Chamberlain’s speech on January 18, in which he said that although emigration was unlikely to reach the previous level, no doubt the demand to settle men on new areas in the Dominions would be revived. The Government eagerly awaited the Dominions and Colonies’ observations on the committee’s report. Mr Malcolm MacDonald will report to the Government on the Australian and New Zealand attitude. ENGLAND’S SURPLUS NEGOTIATIONS WITH AUSTRALIA. (United Press Assn—Telegraph Copyright.) Melbourne, January 22. The Federal Attorney-General, the Hon. R. G. Menzies, hinted at the possibility of a revival of migration being made the basis of negotiations between Australia and Britain when the question of meat and other exports is discussed.
Mr Menzies said: “England is finding that she has too much population. We must agree that Australia’s population is too small for the Commonwealth of the future. Immigration and trade must not be regarded as day to day matters.” ,
