DEAN INGE’S WAY.
Would Open Up Australia’s Tropical Areas. LONDON, December 10. Australia would be obliged to admit Asiatics under a scheme of world government by a super League of Nations envisaged by Dean Inge, in his contribution to the series of broadcasting talks, “ If I were dictator.” He said that the League would not allow a nation with a high birth-rate to swarm like bees into its neighbour’s land. On the other hand, no nation had the right to keep its fertile soil untenanted. If the Australians could not colonise their tropical provinces, Italians or Asiatics must be allowed to enter. Dean Inge proposed to solve Britain’s over-population by planting hundreds of self-contained and self-sup-porting villages in Australia, New Zealand and other dominions, employing Asiatic labour in the preliminary clearing and road-making. Once Britain was rid of its surplus population, labour-saving machinery would almost abolish poverty.
