LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

LF.aGCK OF NATIONS INVESTIGATION. [Australia A N.Z.. Cable Association.] JON DON, June 16. It is learned that the League of Nations International Labour Office has created a committee to investigate the migration question, presumably as the result of complaints of excessive restrictions on the part of the countries to which migration is carried on. The Italian and Japanese Government delegates at the recent Geneva Conference drew attention to the necessity of the League Labour Office taking steps with a view to ameliorating the Labour conditions and the over-population in their respective countries. The Committee, at present, i- in ail embryo state, ft consists of three members, namely, the French Government's delegates, the Belgian employers’ representative, and the Dutch workers’ representative. The Committee has a list ot sixty experts, who may he called to give evidence oil the migration conditions in various countries.

A well-informed observer of Labour Office developments states that it appeared that several nations, having received a set-back in respect to D Peace Protocol, are now seeking to reopen the migration question, through the medium of the Labour Office, with the object of introducing unrestricted migration from Fit rope and Asia.
