The leader of the Salvation Army, General Higgins, accompanied by his wife, will leave London on February 3 for Australia via Canada and New Zealand. They are due to arrive at Auckland on April 21 and Sydney on May 22. General Higgins will preside over public conferences, and will privately discuss property schemes and extension of social and evangelical worlc. In a letter to the "Times," General Higgins urges a thirty years' programme of Empire settlement, instead of spending £100,000,000 per annum in relieving able bodied people in Great Britain. General Higgins eontrasts the Dutch land reclamation schemes with the failure to settle thousands of square miles of good healthy lands in Australia and Canada and declares that the traditional genius of colonisation is still active in Holland. Can the same be said of the British Empire, he asks.
