Commissioner Lamb of the Salvation Army, lecturing before tho Colonial Institute, on the results of' a Dominion tour, said: “Unless the Empire wants to forfeit what she had so hardly won. she must immediately develop a strenuous and continuous elastic migration policy. A\ e are manacled in Imperial matters by economic dogmas. Britain pays hundreds of millions in doles, which are demoralising. Amt she only offers three millions annually to help our teeming population to migrate. Even that meagre three millions is based on the “fifty-fifty” share principle. If tlio half share is more than some of the Dominlrms can afford, why not ' increase the British share even to a hundred per cent? I found nothing more interesting than the group settlement, of West Australia, which solves the problem of isolation, which was previously a bar to migration settlement.”
