British Miners' To Canada. BIG SCHEME AFOOT. (British Official Wireless.) . : (Received 1 p.m.) \ RUGBY, October 5. Tho Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, Prinio Minister of Canada, will arrive in London to-morrow. Mr. Egan, the permanent head of the Canadian Immigration Department, is at present in London, with the object of improving British immigration to Canada, and one of tho principal aims of Mr. Mackenzie King's visit will be to discuss the same question. He discussed the matter with Mr. Baldwin on the Continent. From the British viewpoint the chief problem is the. removal of miners, from areas in which they form an incurable accumulation , of unemployment into other areas. It is hoped that Canada may make a moral contribution towards tho solution of this problem, but a difficulty arises over financing any scheme. The Canadian authorities believe that about 6500 of the 8500 British miners who went to Canada as harvesters will find permanent work there. If this could be repeated every year it is pointed out that it would considerably ease unemployment in the United Kingdom. ■ : LORD PEEL EMPHATIC. (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.)
