APPEAL TO GOVERNMENTS
United Press Assrr.—Elec. Tel. Copyright. LONDON, Sept. 25. An Imperial Conference to discuss migration was advocated by the Earl of Mansfield at Newcastle, where a three-days’ conference was begun with the adoption of a resolution urging organised migration adequately financed as a stimulant to employment at Home and overseas. Another resolution called on the Government, Inconsultation with the Dominions, to initiate a great emigration movement. Lord Mansfield said: “The last thing in our minds is to ask the Dominions to take a burden we are not able to bear. It Is a mistake to imagine that the majority of settlers would consist of unemployed. There would be an equal proportion of employed. ” The support of the Governments of the Dominions and Britain is essential to ensure that there will be no change of policy.” Views of New Zealander.
