Lansburv), in the East End, in the course of which he declared that men should primarily be trained for land careers at home, instead of in the Dominions, j “We train men to land work,” he; said, “and send them thousands of ( miles to the Dominions, while outside • the training centres miles upon miles ’ of the best land in the world cry aloud for cultivation. This grand old land must be given a chance of feeding its sons and daughters. I “The Dominions rightly do not Avant our unemployed, and ha\-e resoh'ed to develop their manufactures, so AA-bether we like it or not, the facts will drive us to colonise our otvn home laud.”
