EMIGRATION
LLOYD GEORGE'S UNPREMEDITATED . SPEECH STRONG OPPOSITION TO STATE AID 97 TclfJsrxpli*-Prct-3 Ae®oclAtlon.-Oo&fTl£iiV (Rec. December 30, 5.5 p.m.) London,- December 29. The Australian Press Association learns that Mr. Lloyd Georgo's emigration speech was entirely unpremeditated. Cabinet wflf) and even the Premier's colleagues in the House were not informed. Mr. Lloyd George merely used the discussion on unemployed as the occasion for suggesting cooperation between .Britain and the Dominions in redistribution of population within the Empire, according to the economic potentialities of each part. A Cabinet committee hos been considering the'i unemployed problem for some weeks, but the emigration question was not included in the recommendations. Strong opposition to State-aided emigration is developing in Parliamentary circles. Tho Labour Party is denouncing the using of British money to deplete Britain of her best men and women. It is believed that a largo proportion of members of the' House of Commons sympathise with the Labour Party's views. Ministers themselves are not unanimous. It is pointed out that the Government has consented to a year's extension of freo passages only at the Teiteratcd requests of the Agents-General. There will be no' further concessions unless they ire requested by tho Prime Ministers' Conference in June.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
