Received Wednesday, 8 a.m. LONDON, Tuesday. In the House of Lords, the Duke of Marlborough called attention to a resolution of the 1907 conference in favour of encouraging emigration to the colonies rather thau to Foreign countries. He advocated child emigration on a comprehensive soale. Poor law reformatory children would be welcomed in the Dominions.
Sir Charles Lucas replied that that was not the Government's policy, nor had the Dominions requested emigration subsidised and organised by the States. If the Dominions' conference made suggestions to increase emigration, the Goverumeut would do everything to meet their wishes.
Lord Selbourne said that his colonial experience had greatly impressed him with the lost opportunities of the Imperial Government respecting the organisation of emigration. Though it was useless to dump townsmen on to the laud, there were many who had not been countrymen in Britain because the rewards offering were insufficient; but who would be tempted by the greater rewards of the Dominions. Such were likely to make excellent settlers.
