"WITHOUT ENCUMBRANCE."
SIR GEORGE REID'S IDEAS. "LABORER TO-DAY—FARMER TOMORROW." By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Received April 6, 9,50 p.m. London, April 6. Sir George H. Reid, Commonwealth High Commissioner, ha* issued a statement in which he -ays that there is some ground fo.- the recent strictures upon the advertisements of some Australian employers for married women without encumbrances, but these cases, ■which are regrettable, a'.'e not common enough to extend their significance into a general unwillingness to welcome married immigrants. Such a notion is grossly unjust to Australia, wuleh wants workers, their wives, and families. '
Sir George Reid quotes Mr. Deakin's telegram showing that assistance is offered to married immigrants and their children to a greater extent than that offered by any country seeking population. The truth is, Australia has no fixed agricultural laborers' classes. The ifarm worker of to-day becomes a prosperous farmer in a few years. t Industrious British emigrants may go assured they have power to become freeholders. The .wages are high, and land is obtainable at easy prices.
