Young British Women To Settle In The Dominions
LONDON, August 10. One thousand young British . women are to go out to the Dominions this year “to help to keep the British Empire British.” The Society for the Overseas Settlement of British Women has arranged to send them out, and hopes to be able to find work for them there. The Dowager Marchioness of Reading, who counts the work of the society among her many interests—she is also chairman of the women’s A.R.P.—is urging the society to send out the biggest possible number of women. She is a member of the Government Committee on Emigration. The Government Committee drew attention to the danger of allowing the Empire to be populated with too big a number of aliens. They believe that if numbers of British women over the age of 21 and under 40 are sent overseas this danger will be lessened. In certain cases the society helps women to pay their passages out.
