LORD LOYAT’S TOUR

(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). (Received this day at 10 a.m.) LONDON, October 10. At the annual conference of British passenger agents, Charles Wright (senior member and also secretary) contributed papers propliecying important results from Lord Lovat’s tour, which was calculated to promote a complete understanding with the dominions. Lord Lovat was remarkably well informed on migration and animated the sympathy and goodwill of the dominions, whose co-operation was desired for mutual interest. Lord Lovat had already made important recommendations affecting Canada, and it was anticipated lie would make equally important ones affecting Australia and New Zealand. Wright expressed the opinion that there were opportunities lor tens of thousands in the Dominions but to ensure the development of the resources and industries continuity of employment, it was necessary to export capitalists and industrialists contemporaneously' with the workers. It was obviously to the interests of the dominions to offer, opportunities to all these and it would bo to Britain’s advantage to divert to migration, part of the two millions spent weekly on unemployment pay and charitable relief.
