NATIONAL SCHEME OF MIGRATION NEEDED.
SHOULD BE PLOTTED, PLANNED AND PERFECTED (United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Received December 5, 10.15 a.m.) LONDON, December 4. “All the previous migration schemes have been tripping and triffling. We want a big national movement from -the Motherland to the Dominions, plotted, planned and perfected by the Government with the same scale of vision as was show’ll in the closing years of the war,” declared Mr Bruce Walker, Canadian Director of Migration in Europe at the Empire Society dinner. “A mighty national movement is wanted. England has responded with a series of spasmodic efforts. The Empire movement from Britain should average 300,000 yearly, of which Canada at present could absorb one-third and within a few years one-half. It should be possible -within six months to establish enough training camps to Xiroduce 20,000 partially trained migrants annually. It would cost a lot of money, but it would be returned by relieving the conditions in Britain.”— Australian Press Association.
