EMIGRATION' SCHEME. LONDON, Feb. 5. There is general speculation being indulged in as to who the ‘Tour best financial and business brains” may bo, that have been selected—according to N[r Bruce’s speech cabled from Sydney .—to go to Australia, and study and confer on the problem of increasing the power of Australia to absorb more immigration. In this connection, the names of Lords Weir and Lovatt, and of Mr Hilton Young, M.P., are mentioned. The “Morning Post” says: Ihe four men must be found who are accustomed to spending millions and nno arc able to visualise vast industries m a wilderness, and who also are familiar with the economics of railroad buildinir. When selected, they will go to Australia to act as an advisory, not as an executive body. Their work will be to make Australia receive and absorb a gigantic population . They will collaborate with an existing Hg Four” in Australia, namely, the Migration Commission, Messrs Gcpp, Na> 01 • Fleming and Gunn. Together these todies will form Australia s Great [Eight.” Their deliberations will mark a new era. It will be the task of the \“Great Eight” to take Australia in hand, and lay it out to the test ad'antnge. It is town planning on a vast scale. Nothing like it has been attempted before. Obviously men of this 0.11 - ibre cannot be found in M They must be drawn from tlie leaf of industry.” Tho “Morning l ost says. ct l •11 v that if. as proposed, four hundred and fifty thousand British men and women are to be asmsted to settle i„ Australia during the next ten >ears, some clear plan will be essential.
