(Received July 5, 7.30 p.m») LONDON, July 4. “I wish to acknowledge the wonderful welcome received throughout the Empire,” said the Bishop of’ London, in moving the reception of the report of the Anglican Council of Empire Settlement at a meeting of the Church Assembly. His Lordship emphasised the importance of sending out more British to prevent Canada being swamped by foreigners, and added: “White Australia is not so much a policy as a passion, the Labourites declaring f.hcy will not have poverty like Eastern London, but a White Australia. I also found New Zealand awaiting- our people. It is pathetic to see good men unemployed, when there are large areas wanting them.” MIGRANTS FOR VICTORIA. DISCUSSED IN HOUSE OF COMMONS.
