MIGRATION CONGRESS
COMPREHENSIVE SCHEME WANTED SPECIAL COMMITTEE FORMED. DEBATE OVER CONTINENTAL PROPOSALS LONDON, June 25. The Migration Congress, before concluding, appointed a committee representing both emigrating and immigrating countries, of which Mr Wilson (New Zealand) is a member, for the purpose of codifying all the proposed resolutions and drafting a comprehensive scheme embodying (1) a declaration of general principles; (2) implementing those principles requiring immediate action. The committee sat till after midnight. There was a very bitter fight over a resolution brought forward by Continental delegates that all migration should be free, also demanding the abrogation of regulations restricting migrants on the grounds of race, nationality, or colour. Finally these proposals were jettisoned, including the Independent Labour Party’s proposals.
