DOMINION’S FUTURE
IMMIGRATION NEEDED LORD BLEDISLOE’S VIEWS UNEMPLOYMENT EFFECT WOULD NOT BE INCREASED By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 8.45 p.m. London, Oct. 24. -•Viscount Bledisloe, addressing th* Royal Empire Society at Bristol, said he did not see a future for New Zealand unless, without undue delay, the Dominion welcomed sound British human and animal stock as well as British capital, Industrial enterprise and brains. He did not know of a greater economic fallacy than that normal unemployment was intensified by organised migration. The Lord Mayor of Newcastle led a deputation to Mr. J. H. Thomas, Dominions Secretary, urging the need for substantial Empire migration. To safeguard migration, he said, future schemes must be adequately financed and the interests of the migrants protected. A co-ordinating committee should be appointed with the Under-Secretary for the Dominions as chairman. Mr. Thomas replied that it was nqt right to ask people to migrate unless they were welcome in the Dominions. If a proper scheme of co-operation, with the Dominions was worked out th* Government would give it every assistance.
