Flow Of Migration From Europe Has Fallen Off.
Bj- Telegraph.—Press Association. —Copyright:—Reuter's Telegrams. (Received June 23, ll a.m.) LONDON, June 22. The World Migration Conference has opened, 150 being present. Mr J. 11. Thomas was unable to attend. M. Mertens (Belgium) presided. Mr Brown, one of the secretaries of the International Federation of Trade Unions, emphasised that this was the first time that migration had been the sole subject of a Labour World Congress. He pointed out that migrants from Europe in five years ended 1921 numbered less than 3,500,000. as compared with 7,000.000 in the five years ended 1913. The decline was chiefly due to restrictions on immigration. Mr Brown referred to the silent penetration of Asia by the Chinese, and also the movement of African natives to mining and agricultural centres.
