MIGRATION METHODS
AUSTRALIAN WOMAN’S CRITICISM SOLVING SOCIAL PROBLEMS (Australian and Zs T.Z. Press Association) Reed. 11.45 a.m. LONDON, Thursday. Dr. Ethel Osborne, of Melbourne, has returned from Geneva where she arranged with the League Secretariat of the International Labour Office to be its representative at the 1930 conference of the Women’s World PanPacific Union at Honolulu, and also at the first Surgical Congress in September. She expressed the opinion that Australia, in regard to its industrial hygiene, and factory conditions, is exceedingly modern compared with Britain, but Australia is not faced with Britain’s gigantic problems, notably chronic unemployment, w-hich is breeding working-class lassitude. She has many objections to the present methods of women migration but if a system were evolved along sound and well-organised lines, she said it would be a step toward the solution of big British and Australian social problems. Also, she thinks, the reorganisation of family migration is most desirable. Dr. Osborne embarks in the Niagara for Honolulu in March.
