MIGRANTS FOR AUSTRALIA.
(BY CABLE—FBESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE .ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, October 31. Replying to a statement made in Melbourne that Australia House was a "migration bottleneck," Mr fearnes, actingdirector, declared tliat it was most misleading. Though families were often rejected, even though sponsored by Parliamentarians, the only reason for rejection, apart from ill-health, bad character, or _ unsuitability, was the lack of requisitions. Migrants with families could not be sent out if they were not nominated. . If the States did not make the necessary requisitions they must turn down applicants. Australia House accepted 90 per cent, of those nominated.
