MORE MIGRATION
DOMINIONS SHOULD INCREASE POPULATFON FROM OVERSEAS. London, September 16. Continuing the crusade in f avour of stimulation of migration, the MornI ing Post says that Ihe fullest advantages of tho Ottawa decisions are only rcalisable by the expansion of the Dormnions' population. No statesmen or economists will contest the assertion that neither Australia nor Canada would be overI opulated at say 30,000,000 each. Yet according to the- progress of the past century, it would talce Canada over a century and Australia over two centuries to reach this figure. New Zealand would take three or four centuries to attain even 10,000,000. Thero was a natural limit to economic increase of population according to the area and natural resources. We ha 1 sometime.i overstepped that limit, but the Dominions rfemained far below it. All their equipment, railv/ays, telcgiaphs, etc. could be moie extensively used by double or treble the population. The effect would, thercfore, be to raise their output for larger home niarlcets. It was. therefore, in the common interest, that thc. Dominions and the Mother Country promote the flow of population from where it is extensive to where it is deficient.
