FAMILY MIGRATION.
Liscusilng ventures in family migration and settlement, which cost on an average £1000 per family, Commissioner David C. Lamb, of the Salvation Army, writes to tbe London Times as follows: "I examine these adventures and their costs in the light of a statement made by The Times some years ago to the e&eSt that it requires the ineome derived from a sum of £2000 invested in gilt-edged securities to maintain a family in idleness in Britain. "There are thousands of families who are being thus maintained, and I consider that £2000 is a conservative estimate in the •light of present-day scale of allowanees. And now I ask what the overseas Dominions say to tbe transplantation of a large number of selected families (not necessarily drawn from the ranks of the ' unemployed), with a subvention of £1000 a family? And what : would tbe Chancellor of the Exchequer say to such a proposal, i which apjjarently euts in two our losses and convert# uowiUing | drones into williog \yorkers_?
