EMPIRE MIGRANTS
THOROUGH TESTING ADVOCATED United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Cnpvrtght LONDON, March 8. A proposal that prospective migrants before leaving England should be thoroughly tested in conditions resembling those of the Dominions, was advanced by Earl Winterton in the “Daily Telegraph.” He points out that he made fairly frequent visits to two Dominions, and declares that only a small proportion of the population of the United Kingdom is suitable lor migration to the Dominions. He suggests the establishment of a training camp in some isolated part of Britain, where the men's wives and daughters would have to cook, bake bread, etc., and the men, starting on easy work, would eventually graduate to tasks as backbreaking as the pioneer has to perform in the Dominions.
