Conference to Consider Question. PERMANENT ORGANISATION. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, November 7. To consider the question of Empire migration as it affects New Zealand in relation to its obligations and privileges as a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations, a conference of representatives of organisations and of individuals is to be held in Wellington on November 21. The conference has been called by Messrs A. Leigh Hunt and C. S. Falconer, on behalf of the Dominion Settlement Association, and by Messrs W. J. Holdsworth and N. G. Gribble. on behalf of the New Zealand Land Settlement and Development League. Two Main Questions. The visit to the Dominion within the next few weeks of Mr Malcolm MacDonald, Under-Secretary of Dominion Affairs, has instigated the move. The invitations to the conference state that the question is likely to come under two heads—(l) What action, if any, should be taken by the respective Governments? and (2) What action, if any, can be taken by organisations or groups, with or without Government co-operation ? . In connection with the first head, it is considered that steps should be taken to collect data of the Dominion’s resources, and to arrange to meet Mr MacDonald; and, in connection with the second head, attention is drawn to the report of the committee of the House of Commons on the subject, which the two New Zealand organisations interesting themselves in the subject have had reprinted. Permanent Organisation. The invitation states that the further business of the conference will be to arrange for a permanent organisation to care for immigration in this country. Representatives of primary producers' organisations, secondary industries, chambers of commerce, social organisaations, churches and district progress organisations, and also a number of individuals who have been connected with movements likely to become interested in the re-commencement of immigration, have been invited.
