UNEMPLOYED MIGRANTS
PAYMENT IN DOMINIONS PLAN TO EXTEND “DOLE” (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) ( United Service) LONDON, Wednesday. In the House of Commons Mr. Oliver Locker-Lampson, Conservative member for Handsworth, Birmingham, obtained leave to introduce a bill to enable British migrants to receive unemployment pay if necessary for two years after their migration to the Dominion. The Bill was read a first time.
The “Daily Telegraph’’ interprets Mr. Loeker-Lampson’s idea as being that the dole no longer would tend to produce inertia, as its recipient, being assured of his pittance abroad as at home, might reasonably be most enterprising. There might be much
difficulty in persauding the Dominions to accept large numbers of migrants who were still drawing the dole. But, if the working out of the plan needed further consideration, there was no doubt that the development of migration was an indispensable factor in the reduction of unemployment.
