MIGRATION NOT THE CURE
BRITAIN’S UNEMPLOYMENT VIEWS OF BEN TURNER (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian P.A. United Service) LOXDON, Tuesday. The chairman of the General Council of the Trades Union Congress, Mr. Ben Turner, presided over the Labour Conference. In his address he said the question of migration must necessarily be of cardinal importance to Labour. “We realise,” he said, “that the selfgoverning Dominions have attained full nationhood and cannot any longer be expected to do as the Mother Country would have them to do. They have their own problems and responsibilities, and their own standard of social behaviour. The best that can be hoped for is to establish a basis of mutual co-operation.” Unemployment was intensitied in Britain, said Mr. Turner, by the decrease in emigration since the war. Emigration was not a cure for unemployment, and it could be dealt with only as part of the general economic system, which must take into account industrial developments and the question of land ownership and the use of the land.
