DISGUSTED MIGRANTS LEAVE AUSTRALIA
“METHODS ARE WRONG” SAYS INVESTIGATOR SENT BY BRITAIN (United P.A—By Telegraph Copyright) f Australian and S.Z. Press Association.) Reed. 1.7 p.m. LONDON, Mon. Captain I. R. Murphy, of the Indian Army Reserve, on his arrival at Liverpool after an eight months’ tour of Western Australia, reporting for the British and Indian Governments, criticised the migration methods. He pointed out that 100 persons on the same ship returned home disgusted. Captain Murphy complained that the Australian authorities in Loudon failed to warn migrants of the country’s peculiar hardships. It was useless Britons going to Western Australia without capital. Already there was much unemployment, and it was likely to increase. The country was not sufficiently developed to absorb more migrants. Immigration of Southern Europeans should temporarily be stopped all over Australia to give Britons a chance.
