SIR JOSEPH WARD.
"SCOTLAND'S DEPOPULATION."
[By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] [United Pres 3 Association.] (Received 9.50 a.m.) Melbourne, July 21.
Sir Joseph Ward has arrived. He will sail for Auckland by the Niagara on the 28th inst.
Interviewed, he expressed the opinion that a more sympathetic feeling was growing up between the Old Country and the Dominions. Visits to England by men of high official positions helped largely to effect this. There was a great objection in Scotland to the rapid depopulation of the country, which was now worse in this respect than Ireland was some years ago. There is a movement afoot in England and Scotland to better the lot of agricultural workers, with an idea of inducing them to remain.
