WOULD-BE WIVES’ CHANCE
GOOD OPPORTUNITIES IN DOMINIONS UNDER-SECRETARY’S SPEECH Australian and N.Z. Press Association (United Service) LONDON, Wednesday. In a broadcast speech from station 2LO, Mr. Arthur Ponsonby, Parliamentary Under-Secretary for tbe Dominions, said tbe prospects of marriage for young women in the Dominions were much brighter than in Britain. Women were wanted overseas, not only as household assistants, but in all the professions. Letters received in England from girls who had migrated showed that as British girls they were welcomed in the Dominions. Australia had more men than women. Britain had 2,000,000 more women than men.
Untrue reports to the effect that Britain was attempting to drive out men and women with a view to lessening unemployment in this country had created suspicion in the Dominions. That had interfered with the natural flow of the population.
